Are you a classic Counter-Strike 1.6 player? Remember the days of KZ maps and Surf Servers? This is a game for you. Almost very close to the same controls to how those maps were played / created.Show moreShow less

Multiplayer is lacking the ability to specifically race your friends. The best you can do is try to start the level at the same time and see who gets the better time. Needs more functionality to start a race between players.Show moreShow less

Bought this for my 6 year old. He really likes it. I've sat and watched him play this every time and have been surprised by how fun it is to watch as well as play. Like all Klei games there's many hours of fun to be had with this title. Lets start with the basics: * I like the controls (WASD, spacebar and the occasional Ctrl) * I like the aesthetics - they makes sense in relation to the games theme * The sounds/music are fun and fitting * There is a plot kinda, it's more of a in-game world set up. As a kid you are either the toy or the kid pretending to be the character of the toy irl. It's all fun and harmless stuff with plenty of bios and comics to unlock to add flavour to each toy/character you can go. * There's loads (at least there seems to be) of cosmetics to unlock in-game without the need to spend additional money. Although my son hasn't played this game for a million plus hours it's clear as day the game isn't gonna change beyond either what he's already experienced or what I expect from experience and that's perfectly fine. A fun game that's good for all ages. EDIT: So I asked my son if he'd like to share anything since he's the one playing it, he had the following to share: Me (after explaining what a review and recommendation is) - "So would you recommend it?" My son - "Yes because it has a lot of erm like I like all the details and how quick you get items. I like how much characters you get and you can literally put silly hats on them and it's so funny. There's a lava one and I put a chicken head on him. You also get lots of levels when you get all the characters".Show moreShow less

I’ve played 2 hrs. I've beaten the gym, 3/4 of playground, and I’ve done the Costco level. I cannot recommend this game due to it feeling…..empty. Honestly, it is a VERY beautifully done game, but you can go onto TF 2, CSGO, and others game that have death run servers, for free, and youll find more there than in this game. The multiplayer aspect is you competing against your friends list. Unless you have friends, youll be watching ghosts that don’t pertain really to what you are doing. No playlists or modes for players to group up with. I feel like there could be a tag game implemented like in the mission but with real players. Instead of just being able to see other online players ghosts. This is what makes it feel soo empty. Its cool you can see them, but that doesn’t really make it “multiplayer”. Its only if you have friends to play with do you might get to experience this. The video on the store page shows 4 players running together butt that’s not how the real game is really played, especially if your going solo. Its 15 dollars for a beautiful death run game that feels like it could have more. If you want it, wait for sale. just my $0.02Show moreShow less
