Free game Way is a great cooperative experience

Cooperative multiplayer is no new concept, but indie game Way makes the experience totally fresh. It’s an attractive platformer, where you play with an unknown partner, and have to communicate with each other using simple expressions and arm movements to explain where to go and when.


As an example, there are part where platforms for one player are only visible to the other. In this case it’s most common to guide the player around by pointing. The sections where timing is necessary can be pretty tricky, but they really bond players, and by the end you’ll have a great sense of shared achievement.

Graphically, Way reminds me of Little Big Planet (as does the rather floaty jumping), but the communication aspect makes it a really different game. It shouldn’t take much over 30 minutes to complete, and believe me you’ll be pleased you did. Check out my review here (also available on Mac).
