Manic Mechanics Co-op Review

Back in 2016, Overcooked! emerged as a cooperative multiplayer-focused game in which players work together to create and serve food. Since then, several developers have adapted the Overcooked! formula to different professions. Manic Mechanics from 4J Studios (developer of Minecraft: Console Edition) is one such game that ditches the cooking schtick...

Manic Mechanics Escapes Onto Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam

Last year, 4J Studios, the makers of Minecraft: Console Edition, released a car-themed twist on Overcooked called Manic Mechanics. The gameplay was great, but being a Switch exclusive, the game could have looked and run a little better. That's no longer a problem, thankfully, because Manic Mechanics has finally arrived on all the other big platforms. It supports 4-player local and online co-op, and it promises lots of party-style fun.

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 Announced for PlayStation and Switch

Back in 2021, D3 Publisher and Yuke's unleashed a family-friendly spin-off of the EDF series called Earth Defense Force: World Brothers. We quite liked that game's colorful, voxel art style and humor. Fast-forwarding to 2024, it looks like we're in for another good time because Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 has been officially announced for a September release on PlayStation and Switch!

Repair Cars as a Team in 'Manic Mechanics' for Nintendo Switch

The Overcooked formula has been adopted by numerous developers in the last few years, usually leading to fun games based on different professions (see: Lumberhill). Now 4J Studios (the Scottish developer that ported Minecraft to consoles) has its own take on the genre with the car mechanic-themed, Switch-exclusive Manic Mechanics. Featuring ea...

Dungeons of Sundaria Now on Steam Early Access and PlayStation

Split-screen co-op isn't the most common feature among PC games. Even less common are games that offer both split-screen and online multiplayer. Hence, Dungeons of Sundaria from Industry Games already stands out from the crowd. A 3D action RPG/dungeon crawler featuring 4-player local and online co-op and highly customizable characters, Dungeons of Sundaria is out on Steam Early Access and PlayStation 4 and 5.

Steam Version of 'Earth Defense Force: World Brothers' Ditches Region-Locking

When we reviewed Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, the recent EDF spin-off from Yuke's and D3 Publisher, we mostly had a great online co-op experience. The Steam version of the game, however, inexplicably suffered from region-locked lobbies. (The PlayStation and Switch versions weren't affected.) Workarounds will no longer be necessary when playing with folks from other places, thankfully, because the region locking has now been fixed!

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers Co-Op Review

Earth Defense Force games have traditionally been M-rated affairs, if only because the giant insect and frog enemies spray lots of goopy blood when shot. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, the new spin-off game from Yuke’s and D3 Publisher, is a more family-friendly entry that trades in low-budget but realistic visuals for colorful and bloc...
