The game boasts a campaign mode as you work your way up increasingly difficult bombs, some with an interesting gimmick. The game itself doesn’t get old as due to the random nature of the bombs you won’t find yourself remembering the exact things to do in certain bombs and thus making levels have no replay ability. When it comes to the game and the content you have present, it’s fair to say you won’t be playing this game for more than 1-2 hours at a time, it relies on such a fun and cooperative nature that it can start to feel like enough after a while. It’s moments like this in the game that make you really appreciate the cooperative nature of the game and how you push the people you play with further by demanding certain keywords and phrases to beat the bomb. One round of playing involved me quickly yelling out things like “The Incredibles robot! Ukrainian 6! Squiggly 3!” and my girlfriend could immediately recall what character I was referring to.
This was one of the most fun to play with someone as you would develop quick nicknames to yell out instead of trying to explain each character. One of the easier and beginner puzzles in the game involves identifying symbols on the bomb to your partner, they can then check the guide and tell you what order to push the symbols in. “It’s moments like this in the game that make you really appreciate the cooperative nature of the game” However, the longer you work decoding each other the more efficiently you can take on the range of puzzles. The puzzles themselves can start frustrating as hell as you wonder if it’s even possible with the information your partner is telling you. You see each bomb you diffuse has a set of around 3 or 6 modules, each with randomly created puzzles. I had the pleasure of playing this with my girlfriend from both perspectives and things can get intense. It feels like a new venture to be playing something that requires you and your chosen partner to be smart enough to explain things in simple manors that can easily be translated to each other. This kind of setup makes for some hilarious moments of yelling and stressing. However, you don’t have access to the instructions required to solve these puzzles, instead a friend must tell you what to do without looking at the bomb. The premise of the game is that you are a bomb defusal “expert”, tasked with solving a range of puzzles within a time limit to defuse a bomb. So, without further ado, let’s get into this ticking time bomb. This is a co-op game like no other and brings with it a level of communication and team work not usually seen in a video game. If I had to put a definition on what “stressed but happy” meant, then I would simply mention keep talking and nobody explodes.
