March 2025
Unboxing the Cryptic Killer is one of the better Co-op puzzle games i played. This short (about 2 hours long) game's difficulty was really on point, challenging enough to almost wanting to use the hint button but perfectly doable without if you give it a bit of time. Most puzzles require you to share information that is only shown on your side of the puzzle so good communication is key. Played this one side by side with my wife and we did not argue even once. So recommended for most ;) couples aswell. Overall the puzzles really felt satisfying to complete and the 1,80 euro i payed per game was totally worth it. I am for sure buying their new game that will be released this year.

A very well-made game! Took me and a partner just over 3 hours to complete the whole thing. Well-worth its price, especially compared to in-person escape rooms these days

Totally worth the $6. Puzzles are just challenging enough to really piss you off. A couple of times we came close to using a hint but were always able to grind it out. 100% recommend

Very fun game. Not too long and the puzzles are neither too hard nor too easy. Would recommend for a fun game night. In germany we say: Kann man machen.

Fun and short puzzle game elevated by the seamless co op. + Puzzles are usually intuitive and there is a good hint system in the game. + Graphics are great, game looks good. + Co op works well. + Game is cheap and short. - Villain was obvious from the start. - Story is nothing great, this seems like a chapter one of a more intricate story, almost like an intro. - Almost all the puzzles are on one screen and usually inside a box or a crate or something. First puzzle was lot more open which i liked more as this feels a bit more confined. Overall this is a good game for one evening if you have a friend to play with. I enjoyed it.
