    The game is pretty much about jumping on platforms and shooting discs to drop opponents to a black hole. The game is pretty simple and you'll have fun playing it. However, there aren't many people playing it due to the fact that there isn't much content to the game and most people just prefer playing the better Valve games.

    I'm surprised by how underrated this game is. This game is perfect in almost every way. The gameplay is solid, the graphics are good, and theres enough content for the price. This game is a masterpiece, and it deserves it's recognition. Although it hasn't received much attention in years, I can't wait for Valve to finally release Ricochet 2. I would recommend this to any PC gamer thatI'm surprised by how underrated this game is. This game is perfect in almost every way.

    One of the greatest games of all time in my opinion.
    I picked up this game on steam and was amazed by the very low price, and was pleasantly surprised. This game is amazing!
    A must play for anyone who enjoys games.

    Ricochet is a mod for Half-Life Original, and is actually a very fun game! The bad part is, there are no players on this game. No one ever plays this game... ever! This game is indeed a 10/10 if people played it, but for now it's a 9/10.

    I'm John Videogames the inventor of videogames and I'm here to talk to you about Ricochet.

    You know how the Rocky Horror Picture Show is a really good movie but actually it's a terrible movie?

    Ricochet is a really really good game in exactly the same way (only not like that at all in literally any of the ways)

    Bring friends, shoot discs at them, videogames

    Is Valve amazing for EVERY game they make, thats the question right there. Ricochet does not live up to the Valve expectations. Nobody is ever online anyway(maybe 4 other people) and once you DO find a server you die in about 15 seconds, and its basically impossible to get a kill. In general you get stupid discs and throw them at each other. It's pretty freaking bad. But it's the mostIs Valve amazing for EVERY game they make, thats the question right there.

    I used to know Ricochet just thanks (because of?) this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=632kyLysP6c
    Then I actually purchased, installed, played the game and my face was exactly this :|
    Still a Valve game.

    I got to be serious here. This game is too small. I know it was designed as a nice little casual Half-Life mod. BUT ONLY 2 LEVELS WHICH DIFFER IN NO WAY AT ALL. ONLY DISCS AS WEAPONS. AND WHEN YOU FALL, THERE IS A STUPID ANIMATION WHICH GIVES ME A HEADACHE. Why did I even buy this, why is this even 5 euros on Steam, it is not even worth 1 euro. Maybe the word Valve is just in these 5 euros.

    Most reviewers with positive reviews are trolling. This is an abysmal game, apparently made by Valve. There is nothing good about it, avoid at all costs.

    I saw a movie called Tron and very much disliked the effects in it, therefore it was bad. I thought the movie had potential of being a video game though. I found out about Ricochet and played it to see what it was like. It's the most amazing game to come from Valve. Immersive gameplay, realistic graphics, perfect sound quality. Five stars.

    Hi, I'm a Polygon.com reviewer, and here's my opinion: as a game, Ricochet is perfect. Brilliant. Outstanding. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is centuries of fun. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this.

    However, you had no option except to push people around with discs. No way to put down your weapons and have peace. The game so entirely lacks compassion that it made me feel like a bully. Tropico 5 - I mean, Ricochet fails to reconcile that conflict in a mature way, missing its shot at changing the genre from a thoughtless getaway to a memorable, meaningful trip. Also, I found the exaggerated art style is alienating and gross, even though it looks amazing. 6/10    … Expand

    Apart from the impudence that this game is sold for $5, it is more likely that humanity finds other people in outer space before you find players in Ricochet.

    I'll recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the FPS shooter genre and doesn't mind an old game. This can be a fun game to play but the trouble is the game doesn't actually contain much content which makes it a little repetitive therefore not many people plays it. I recommend playing this game with your friends and I'll guarantee you'll have a lot of fun (maybe).

    There are very few cards, but you can play. Online is completely dead. Of course, you can add bots to the game, but you will quickly get bored of the game later. Well, if you really want to play this game, then download the torrent or buy Valve Complete Pack at a discount if you want to buy all the games from Valve.

    I forced someone to play this game with me, and it was fun. Two players cant capture the full experience, though.
