That’s great news. The game already runs great on Steam Deck, but sometimes the EA app is really difficult to get logged in to.
I highly recommend this to anyone with a dock and a significant other. My wife and I played a lot of it together, and I overheard her telling her friends that it was like we were playing a pixar movie together.
Yep, a truly great game, deserves every award it got
Me and my wife… Got really bored. The gameplay loop is supppperr trivial, and even though they add in stuff every now and again, eh…
I dunno, it’s okay - but I just don’t get the hype. I wanted to pitch in because if someone is considering buying it I’d really recommend checking a Let’s Play of it before trying it.
It felt like a game specifically designed for a gamer to introduce gaming to their never-gamed-before partner. If you’re both experienced gamers like we are, I wonder whether you’d give up on it too.
Me and my wife are both big gamers. We both enjoyed it a lot. I get what you’re talking about in the gameplay loop, but we play games for stories. The story was engaging and kept us interested. I did enjoy the gameplay though.
My partner is pretty much a non gamer, for her it was perfect.
Agreed, we thoroughly enjoyed it - hopefully, they make another game soon!
As a side note, EA has basically locked me out of my entire library and I gave up trying to fix it. Terrible launcher.
One of my games, you have to open twice (once to crash, twice to launch correctly).
It was doing this with unravel two. Then some day out of nowhere it started working and we could finally play it. I’m not buying anything with that launcher again.
Add it to the list of platforms I won’t buy from.
Fuck EA btw
Fuck those greedy customer-hostile profit-extracting bastardsMy wife found out about The Elephant Scene and refused to ever play it as long as she lives
Yeah… that was a fun surprise for us.
Was it fun though? Or was it awful?
Man I really like the scene for it’s dark humor but it’s so hard to watch, lol.
Game overall is fantastic though! Definitely good with a significant other.
Yeah, that part was a distinct bum note in an otherwise enjoyable game. Why the developers thought it was good idea, I’ll never know.
Thanks for the explanation, although I don’t find it a particularly acceptable one. The sequence wasn’t funny enough to justify the dramatic shift in tone in an otherwise family-friendly game, IMO. Also, making the protagonists unlikable in a game where you’re supposed to find them sympathetic is a very weird design decision.
They’re terrible parents for the majority of the game, this is just the culmination of all their selfishness and self deceit.
My daughter and I were really mad about this. She wanted us to quit the game. I don’t think it’s really funny or useful to the story either. Still a really fun game.
Yeah, I absolutely get the anger. My wife in particular hates cruelty to animals, fictional, plush, or otherwise, so it’s a line she refuses to cross. That’s a totally fair outlook
Is it The End Of Days?
Is EA actually getting … less shitty??
It’s weirdly cyclical. I remember around when the original Dead Space came out (early iirc) they were acting pretty decently for EA.
Honestly they still act shitty. Its just that their competition is ahead of them right now in this particual aspect to the point where you might think they behave fairly decently.
EA is continuing to do what they’ve always done - attempt to suck up as much money as possible. It just so happens that for once they think being less shitty is the best way to do it. Don’t hold your breath about this being a trend.
Great game, had a blast playing it with a buddy. I did not pay for it and there was no launcher either :)
Is there ANY way to play this game single?
No. It’s two player cooperative gameplay.
One of you will be doing one thing, and the other person something to help them, and it’s always varying what you do.
It’s not like Brothers a Tale of Two Sons, or Kuri Kuri Mix.
Damit. Ok, nevermind. Not buying it. :(
Good news! If you find somebody else that has it, you can download and play it with them for free.
Yeah, I saw the free one. I’ll check with some friends to see if anyone has it or the free one.
It’s worth it. Story is kind of cringe, but the co-op adds some unique gameplay.
Yeah, that’s why I actually wanted it. It looks like a game I’d enjoy.
Great, now do the rest of them
Anybody know if this game is noob friendly?
Very much so
It absolutely is. Had a great time with my girlfriend, who normally doesn’t play at all.
And I’m still not gonna buy an EA game. They burned themselves ages ago.
