3/15/2023 0 Comments Skydrift infinity trophiesWhiskey Mafia: Frank’s Story review (PS4) If you enjoy local co-op play, then we highly recommend this one. There’s a few multiplayer minigames to enjoy after that though, which are fun and frantic takes on familiar concepts like soccer and basketball. Pile Up! runs on the short side though, as you can complete all of its levels within three to four hours. There’s a LittleBigPlanet-like charm to them, further aided by the collectibles contained in them. It’s all very seamless, though your ability to work together does get tested.īut before this all sounds like a massive sandbox full of boxes, it’s worth pointing out that every level has its own theme and objective. The puzzles scale with the number of players currently playing (you can jump in and out at any time), meaning that you can just rely on spare boxes if there aren’t any “live” boxes playing with you. There’s no strict time limit either, so figuring out how to get to a certain part in the level can be solved by talking things out together and taking your time. For instance, if you need to jump a little higher, just stack with a jetpack box. Special abilities (which you’ll need to overcome challenges or solve puzzles) are gained by simply stacking yourself on top of another box that can provide that ability. The controls are fairly simple too, and it’s easy to just jump and slide around. There’s no tightly directed narrative or gameplay objective either, so things aren’t likely to frustrate younger or less experienced players. There’s no combat so it’s a family-friendly affair as well – one that can be played by four players at once and even has special mini-games dedicated to multiplayer sessions. Visually reminiscent of 2016’s Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure (I mean, it’s a platformer with paper boxes, so you can’t go in too many different directions), it’s a cooperative 3D puzzle platformer with papercraft-like visuals that can be played in single player or as a local co-op experience. It’s a prolific summer for publisher HandyGames, who recently launched the excellent Skydrift Infinity and is now bringing Pile Up! Box By Box to consoles as well, after an earlier PC release. Join us as we check out Pile Up! Box By Box, Whiskey Mafia: Frank’s Story and Road 96. We’ll certainly see plenty of big reveals next week during Gamescom, but it’s the indie scene that keeps surprising us with creative new games.
