All of these controls are basic enough that you can squeeze together on one keyboard.īut more than just slightly silly physics and light puzzle-solving, there’s the whole thoughtful mood of With You, which I really dug. You can squish yourself down, rotate your head, and boost each other up. Mechanically, you and a partner will play as a different-shaped cyclops, and while the obstacles change from level to level, you’re ultimately looking to line up your shape with a matching outline. If you’ve played Snipperclips, that’s probably the closest point of comparison - but the vibe here is much more serene with some soft guitar backing, and it’s less complex. It’s a simple, endearing, not-too-fussy “ date game,” as creator Carol Mertz puts it. 15 minutes later, I think some of you will want to play it with your favorite co-op companion, too. The user reviews for With You were a collective thumbs-up, so why not? I played it. The fact that it’s a free game - which also goes for the Itch.io release, if you prefer - sure doesn’t hurt. I can’t say no! When I noticed the magic words “co-op campaign,” I was double in. Not to discredit any of the other fine games sitting in Steam’s ever-shifting “New & Trending” section, but when I hovered over With You and saw a pair of funky one-eyed blobs with lanky legs, I was intrigued.
