The fact that you only have to buy ONE copy to play with a friend goes directly against the greedy modern day gaming industries of “sell half a game and let them buy the rest in DLC!” Type of logic. BIG props for going against that tide. Love Hazelight. Keep it up!
@@CaptainDCap There are other co-op games that require two players and both having bought two copies such as Tick Tock. I think we should acknowledge when a company does something consumer friendly.
Why do they deserve "big props" for doing what is expected? For doing what was the industry standard for DECADES? Multiplayer and co-op games never used to, and never should require multiple copies of the game to play together. There is nothing special about not requiring each person to own a copy of a game in order for friends to be able to play together.
I'm soo happy about this game. CO-OP games are dying and I miss them so much . 1996 baby here and games like Nintendo 64 and PlayStation 2 had AMAZING co-op games. This is refreshing
As someone who has played this game twice and now is trying to convince my friend to play it with me again I cannot recommend it enough. As cheesy as it sounds It's honestly an amazing journey and experience. I found myself with big smiles on my face without realizing it, and getting really into this game, that doesn't usually happen for me. I would say the mini games are my favorite part but I really don't have a part that I didn't like, there was ALWAYS something going on. Absolutely a masterpiece and one I will remember my entire life. Incredible.
@@oppgard Both people need to play at the same time to start the game and I played Remotely both times I played with online friends. If one person owns the game the other can install the friend code version I believe it's called for free and play for free with the person who purchased it. Very fun, I recommend using EA to download it sadly cause Steam gave me some problems. Hate EA but it was less goofy on the download
I love that you guys had the opportunity to make people buy it twice - once for them and one for their friends, and you chose to stray from that path. You have made it not only an enjoyable game but one that is fair and accommodating to the community which is becoming alarmingly unpopular. Hats off to you all, and for that reason alone i will be buying 3+ copies and giving them away
@@SirBlackReeds From my understanding it's not a single player game it will have online co-op and your friends will be able to download a free version of the game that they can play when you invite them.
Why is nobody talking about the fact that your friend can literally play the game for FREE well depending if they bought it you play for free 🤯 that’s an amazing feature
One of the best games ever created. Play this with someone close to you it is truly a special game. Havent played a game with this much passion it is such a work of art. Well deserved GOTY 2021.
Chill out, what ya yellin' for? Lay back, it's all been done before. And if you could only let it be, you will see that I am the funniest YouT*ber of all time. Admit it, my dear follow*r mil
I had never been emotionally attached to a games characters until I played this game. I can say with confidence that this is one of the best games ever. Please just keep creating masterpieces.
I came here just because taehyung said he's playing this game ..,and just came to see how this actually look like ..... But honestly this game seems pretty adventure. ..!
@@Nors2Ka most devs want everyone to purchase their titles and both games they have put out have only required a single person to purchase and then they can invite any of their friends to play the full game...there is no other dev team doing this and this mentality toward customer service should be celebrated.
@@godspi4609 Well, most games can be played singleplayer and aren't exclusive co-op as this and previous games for the studio are. Besides, they could justify then making the game more expensive knowing that only half of the players will pay for it. And if you think outside games industry, it's a pretty established tactic overall, so I'm not sure where the mold is. Anyways, I was asking because I thought you were talking about game design (where they absolutely aren't breaking any molds from the looks of it).
@@paveldelarosa8952 Haha, funny indeed. Except that people severely overestimate how much they care about software(including games) quality. I've seen the game now and it's just not high quality.
This is incredible. Thank you Mr. Fares and Electronic Arts for this art of Game. Can't wait to play it with my Daughter or my Wife. I played A Way out together with my Wife and we loved it.
@@tornado6911 yes my wife and I would had saved both and would love to see them becoming friends but it's better that way. I will never forget this emotional trip.
bought it on release to play it with my wife. she really isn't too much into video games but this brought us already 20+ hours of joy and there is no end in sight as of now! awesome game!!
The best game ever!!! Made me cry!!! Never felt so emotional over a game. A great bonding game for couples. I played this with my husband in our earlier years of dating. We both still play it for memories because we enjoyed it so much!! Beautiful story ❤️
What an amazing game. This feels like the ultimate co-op family experience. Huge congratulations not only for the amazing piece of artwork you have produced but for the very deserved GOTY award!
@@TheMillionDollarDropout U donno V? Google it ..But he is the most popular member of the biggest boy band in the world BTS .. He also won the most handsome title of 2020 and 2021 following ... so indeed he is too popular ...
This is THE BEST gaming experience i had in YEARS!!! Cozy couch co-op with a friend. Nothing beats that!! It was so beautifull, emotional, funny... technically outstanding!! Much love to the devs for this amazing game!
I was hoping to see something more like "A Way Out", but this game is growing on me. It looks very fun and family friendly. Josef Fares is a master at making video games.
Me and my ”non gaming” girlfriend are loving this game. We play a chapter every day due to our busy lives. Such a fun game. The fact she could throw a snowball at me was the cherry on the cake. And the Selfie scene in the beehive. And the fidgetspinner bounce off. Thats was just crazy fun. Thanks for a lot of genuine fun and giggles. :)!
One of the best games I’ve ever played, and I have been gaming since 1985! This is what games should be about, connecting with friends and family and having fun together at home. That’s been lost over time. My GF and I actually played the entire game (and she does NOT play games whatsoever) and at the end she was sad it was over. This is what “Next Gen” gaming should be about! Rekindling that fire that used to make games magical and memorable with excellent graphics and story!
This game is so so great. We’ve been wanting a 2 player game like this for ages. It’s SO MUCH FUN!! I love the space levels which are really unique with the changes in perspective
I played with my bf and we had tons of fun! It was hilarious to see him struggle with the jumps. When she found the letters in the basement I actually started crying as I read them. I wish there was a part 2 or something with a similar gameplay. Great job!
My fiancé and I played this game. She isn’t a big gamer, but she increasingly got better and we both loved this game. We also played a way out together and are going to play again here soon just because both of the games are so well made. I really hope more projects are made like this, we enjoy coop so much and it makes it nice that I’m not gaming by myself.
Just finished playing this game (with 14yo daughter). It is... brilliant! So many levels, each with different mechanics. Graphics are stunning and often truly beautiful. Story is lovely, and acting / animation excellent. Highly recommended.
I am so glad to have found this on the ps plus catalog. My husband and I finally started playing it last night and we had so much fun! The graohics for the cutscenes are really good and the gameplay characters are adorable! Traversing the big world together and problem solving as a team is such a wonderful mechanic. The fact that there is no penalty for dying is also wonderful. My husband and I both dies many times in comical ways that had us stitched over in laughter. I can't wait to progress more and see how the story plays out. So far we've gotten as far as defeating the vacuum cleaner.
I just found out that this game exists and it looks amazing! It looks so fun and full of originality, it's so different from the rest of the games nowadays, the gameplay mechanisms and the argument caught my attention. I'm happy it won game of the year award, well deserved!
This game is beautifully made. Game mechanics is very robust in that there's so many different variety of play styles. You don't get bored doing the same old thing over and over because each new event is a new type of game. Truly understand what co-op gaming is all about. Genius gameplay, very fun, and possibly of the the best games I've ever played. Very relaxing and not stressful to play.
@@SirBlackReeds Of course I liked many games I've played from the last and this year, but they couldn't scratch that itch for something very pure and fun. Couch co-op is dead and it's nice to see something like this with a big enough budget in 2021.
Best game I’ve played in a long time, it’s awesome to find a game that’s fun for my husband and I to play together. It was challenging but not impossible like some games. Visually stunning, quirky and funny, I really loved it! 5 stars
This game is the best game I have ever played!! It's so outstanding. So creative and beautiful and so much detail work. Thank you sooo much for this wonderful experience.
If a lot of people love each other, the world would be a better place to live. Edit: I feel like no one caught this was a reference to The Room given how much Josef Fares sound like Tommy.
I've met two different couples. Inform me about this game how it made their relationship even closer. It's a good therapy for relationship. Thank you creators ❤️😊
Thank you Hazelight and Fares for going against the "steam" and for making pure cooperative games. Sitting next to a friend to play a game on the same screen is almost a lost art. The last time I did that was during the MS DOS era with games such as Wacky Wheels and Heroes of Might and magic 2 & 3. Also Tyrian! :D I think I will buy Brothers and give it a chance and if I like that one, I'll move on to this one later on. If I find a friend that wants to play it with me that is. God bless this studio!
