Unknowz

这游戏鲨鱼怎么击杀？？？

short, boring, not engaging in any way. No interesting puzzles neither any interesting plot or gameplay

Unknowz is a really fun little cooperative adventure that I liked mainly because it builds the whole experience around two characters who are almost complete opposites. I play as Jack, an undead pirate obsessed with explosives, or Ed, a living pirate who is much more hesitant and nervous. I enjoyed seeing how their personalities play off each other while they try to escape an island filled with skeletons. The biggest strength for me is the cooperative gameplay. The two pirates have different abilities, so solving problems usually means figuring out how they can work together rather than simply having both characters do the same thing. I liked the puzzles where one character has to create an opportunity for the other, because those moments actually make communication important instead of turning the second player into an extra set of hands. There is also a good mixture of platforming, stealth and combat. The island is filled with traps, enemies and environmental hazards, so I am constantly moving between different types of challenges. I particularly enjoyed the explosive sections because Jack's obsession with black powder gives the gameplay a chaotic edge. The physics also help make some encounters feel unpredictable in a fun way. The story and presentation give the game a lot of personality too. The cartoon styled Unreal Engine visuals work well with the colorful island and absurd pirate characters, while the contrast between the moody environments and sudden explosions is really entertaining. I liked the humor in the dialogue as well, especially because the relationship between Jack and Ed gradually becomes more important than the simple goal of escaping. My biggest issue is that the adventure is fairly short and the gameplay ideas are not always developed as deeply as they could be. Once I understand how the characters work together, some of the puzzles start feeling familiar. I also wanted more situations that really forced me to combine their abilities in unusual ways rather than relying on a few recurring ideas. The local cooperative focus is still a big selling point for me. Playing together on the same screen gives the game a nice old school adventure feeling, and Remote Play Together makes it easier to share the experience even when I am not physically in the same room. I think the game is at its best when two people are laughing at a failed puzzle solution or accidentally triggering a trap at the worst possible moment. Overall, Unknowz is a charming free cooperative platformer with a lot of personality. I liked the contrasting characters, teamwork focused puzzles, explosive moments and colorful presentation. It could use more content and greater puzzle variety, but the foundation is strong and I had a genuinely enjoyable time escaping that skeleton infested island. Rating: 7/10
