Takelings House Party

Got cyberbullied by my friends 10/10

"Show, don't tell" game design principle is interpreted wrong by the devs at this game. Elaborating more on that, UX is completely ♥♥♥♥! First minigame "Gard N' Rush" that was introduced had no visual feedback to understand (I was on a couch party with +3 people) and we all struggled on VR to get what you are supposed to do, losing fun momentum (until we figured out the carrots). I don't get until now the lose situation for the VR player at that game tho. Btw, that minigame would be way better if PC players could see theirselves as a TPS camera on splitscreen instead of using one screen for all (only when you have up to 4 players, above that would keep as is). ---- To the next minigame I want to review, it is fun, but not really something you want to replay a bunch: -Hammering the wall (can't remember the name either) It's quite interesting concept, fairly good applied and plays out fun. But can get a bit repetitive fast, but I get it, maybe each game has its own pace and this one is in a different one. Probably could add a few more interactions for the VR player somehow. Something that can definietly be figured on a new iteration on game design of this one. ---- Now to the best minigames: -Garage Barrage Oh my gosh, that was hilarious to play! I think I never laughed so hard in my life for any game. Making your friends go crazy with your input is just hilarious, very well designed, probably the best of all minigames! -The kitchen one on freemode (can't remember the name) That is one of the funniest minigames of this game, it's hillarious seeing people getting mean with you when they get you after you fooled them by hiding well lol. The desperation to not get caught and the whole dynamic hide 'n seek type of thing works really great!!! -The shooting game with collectibles We didn't really understood the game pretty well, like what you do wit the collectibles, is it a co-op or are you competing against your PC friend to see who gets more? I don't really know, but you know what, it was very fun! ---- So, this game just need some UX work to make sure some games gets more intuitive (some are and others are not, just as I said above) and maybe a few tweaks on some games for more fun (hammer one and garden). Pretty fun so far, but I barely gave up the game on start as the issues listed really made us all think this sucked, which is not the case, once you learn about other minigames and start to crack up a lot!

this is one of the best party games for local asymetrical vr games you can find with local multiplayer and they recently added a NEW GAMEMODE WHEN WE THOUGHT THEY WERE DONE!!!! HOPEFULLLY MORE TO COME

Poor Hal he can't catch a break

fun party game

This game is hilarious. The negative reviewers clearly don't have friends, family or children to play with. Bunch of Scrooges. Hours of fun for us during the holidays. We will be putting in some time on this one, for sure! Love it. I'm not sure how active the devs are on this, but it would be cool to see some new maps. Nonetheless, we still have a blast!
