Puzzle Compound

Милая небольшая головоломка, с разнообразными уровнями. Только для кооператива. Плюсы: Довольно интересная, с проработанными уровнями и стильной 'лоуполи' графикой. Загадки хоть и могут заставить задуматься, не относятся к тому типу загадок, когда логику найти невозможно. В кооперативе играется довольно весело и бодро. Поддерживает до 4 человек в пати. Минусы: На данный момент есть всего 5 уровней. Будет ли больше - сказать не берусь. Мало рандома на этих самых уровнях, а значит, если 1 раз прошёл, вряд ли второе прохождение будет хоть чем-то серьезным отличаться. Без друзей играть в принципе невозможно (тебе просто даже не даст запустить уровень)

Completed as a 2-player party using Discord. Puzzle Compound is a little rough around the edges, but includes some interesting puzzles and 5 independent maps, each lasting about an hour. Nothing too difficult for co-op puzzler veterans. There is some frustration stemming from room scanning through assets for puzzle pieces, but this is common is some escape room games. This game was fun to play through fresh. I disliked the speed run achievements - they were a challenge but did not add enjoyment. Some puzzles are randomized and static puzzles should be memorized to save time. We played each map roughly 4 times (1x for first play, then 3x for speedrun).

Very nice for 4 people coop, no idea why it could not use lobby or steam system for inviting friends, or allowing to keep the party across maps. We had to host and invite everyone every time by sharing a code in DMs. The puzzles themselves are okay, most requiring asymmetric coop, standing far apart and coordinating motions. For the cheap cheap price we payed during summer sale, it's a great value. 5 hours to beat all the maps as 4 experienced players. Unreal engine with temporal AA performs worse than expected for the level of detail and effects on screen, I had to lower render resolution to 65% in 1080p for stable 60 fps, very playable.
