Excellently made asymmetrical coop game. Important note: only one player needs to have purchased the game. I can't say too much without spoiling things but if you enjoy games like "Keep talking and nobody explodes" or the "we were here" series, you will adore it. It is rather short but what is there is near perfect.

A great game. Super small, fun, great communication. Very unique and cool to play. Only one person needing to buy it is even better.

This game is seriously brilliant. It's short, yes. But it's brilliant. No word of a lie, I loved it so much I held off on reviewing so I could make it my review #200. I wanted this to be significant. This is a game about being spies. One of you is an infiltrator, sneaking around in buildings and being subtle AF. The other is a hacker, in the very spirit of being a netrunner in Cyberpunk 2020 or a William Gibson novel. On the surface, it looks like it follows the template laid out by an older game, Clandestine: the spy, the hacker, the teamwork. Except it's very extremely not that game. That's like saying smoked salmon and buffing compound are the same thing because they look kinda dark red. They're radically different. In Operation Tango, the game is really more about communications and problem solving. In the midst of hacking a network, or infiltrating an office tower, or whathaveyou, somebody is going to get stymied by a lock, or a missing password, or something similar. The other may have access to that very thing, but needs to go find it, and/or communicate to the partner how to find it. Sometimes you can see what they're up to, but indirectly--a drone camera, some digital readout, etc. From that frame of reference, you'll have to direct your partner. So this is very much a game about communication. A partner is mandatory. A partner you can communicate well with is mandatory. Even still, failures will happen, but the game is extremely generous with its savepoints, very polite with failure messages, and extremely forgiving. If communications aren't happening, luck and patience might see you through. But again, this isn't hard. There's a bit of sneaking, "cyberspace" "hacking", bomb defusing, and so forth. It totally nails the feel of being a movie spy, or a scifi hacker. It's a game that brings you the *experience*. Now, it's a short game. I played through the whole campaign as the hacker in four hours. I might go back and play the campaign as the infiltrator. Let's say another four hours. But the thing is this: My partner didn't buy a copy. Only I did. One person plays for free. Effectively divide that price point in two, because both of you are paying for the price you see. And that's a heck of a steal. This game is brilliant. I have only one regret: It's that I waited this long to play it. I bought it pretty much on the day of release, and I sat on it for awhile, because that's what I do. This will be great fun to go through with my wife, as we've rigged up a picture-in-picture way of showing what she's doing on my own stream. We'll surely give this a spin soon, again. And if you made it here, you're my kind of person and I hope you pop in and say hello. http://twitch.tv/fdejeuner. Oh yeah. And totally buy this game and get your buddy to grab the free coop partner download.

Wow! Just wow! One of the best co-op experiences in quite a while. The sheer fact that each mission is different for each player is amazing: One simply can't imagine why "The other idiot can't properly describe or do things" until one (also an idiot) see things for oneself. A crazy ride. The challenges are doable and the satisfaction when teamplay works out are peak moments of gaming satisfaction!
