    I absolutely loved this game when I first started playing. I thought the concept was good, the sights and sounds were wonderful, and the overall gameplay was right up my alley.

I thought the concept was good, the sights and sounds were wonderful, and the overall gameplay was right up my alley.

    And then the levels got increasingly more difficult and frustrating. The introduction of ice was the beginning of the end for me. The amount of times I would try to scale up a mountain only to slip and fall all the way down. And of course you must rely on checkpoints in order to refrain from having to achieve hair-pulling feats over and over again.

    And then comes the lava. And then the quicksand. Sadly once I reached about level 5-2 I decided I couldn't play the game any longer. It wasn't worth the frustration. Which is a shame because I really do enjoy this game a lot. The difficultly just became too much for me and wasn't willing to scream at my TV anymore.

    If you're very good at video games then you might have more luck than I did.    … Expand

    Played co-op Chariot was fun for a while but just a few hours in it became apparent that the game wasn't going to introduce any new elements on top of the basic gameplay and I found my interest began to wane pretty quickly after that. Its competent enough but I personally didn't find it all that interesting to play.

    Chariot is a mash-up of great, creative platforming with couch co-op fun. I really enjoyed the game and in first player mode it offers a unique take on platforming, but the game can get a little bland when playing alone. I would definitely recommend this game being played purely for couch co-op, as it nails the needs for couch co-op in having fun gameplay and reasons to laugh with yourChariot is a mash-up of great, creative platforming with couch co-op fun.

I would definitely recommend this game being played purely for couch co-op, as it nails the needs for couch co-op in having fun gameplay and reasons to laugh with your buddies. With the intuitive push/pull physics there is a lot of stupid funny moments with collisions and such with the person you are playing with. The point of the game is to push your father's coffin around trying to collect as much wealth as possible so that you can bury his gold with him. In co-op you play as his son and daughter, and you move through some challenging puzzle levels where you have to maneuver the coffin around and keep your father safe from monsters as well. All-in-all I enjoyed this game and would recommend it as long as you had a friend to play along with!

    It’s a competent but unambitious physics platformer – nothing more, and nothing less.

    Chariot is a fun, albeit slow-paced platformer with a refreshing art style and interesting concept.
