    The art and story are good but the gameplay is just fine. Hard to know where to go next and not much tips to guide you. The game is quite long too. Quite annoying to get all boxes collectiable.

    The first ten minutes of this game: oh my GOD it's so ADORABLE I'm gonna save it to play with a friend
    then
    oh my god i love how the powerup things are split unevently it's like having to share when you're a kid and everyone's got different **** going on and the art and music are fabulous then oh wow it has a plot too, neat and it's funny and silly with some wonderful one-offs and    The first ten minutes of this game: oh my GOD it's so ADORABLE I'm gonna save it to play with a friend

    oh wow it has a plot too, neat
    and it's funny and silly with some wonderful one-offs and supporting cast
    At this point I'd give it 10 out of 10

    then it turns out that playing with someone else is a letdown cause half the time it's taken you ages to get to the edge of the screen that isn't progress so you have to trudge across to the other side, and then that's not it either, and the perspective and art style can make it really unclear about what's a wall or entrance and sometimes it's just broken and your save file is now corrupted so you reload from the thankfully great bookmark system and then cutscenes aren't skippable, which is hilarious because of the amount of times we skipped dialogue as both of us are pressing buttons (apart from the times Nessa's dialogue can only be advanced by Nessa) and movement is a bit slow and the camera moves a bit floatily and...

    It's absolutely a delight, but it's just very rarely *fun*    … Expand

    With so much to like about Knights and Bikes, finding things to complain about wasn’t easy. One thing that came to mind is that the fifth chapter takes considerably more time to complete than the others, and at times seems to drag. However, the rest of the adventure has excellent pacing. I also had a small issue with the ending. There’s a twist that’s hinted at shortly before it unfurls, but this foreshadowing would have had greater impact if was built up earlier instead of appearing so close to the finale. Otherwise, I have no issues with this incredibly well-written story. Knights and Bikes is an adorable little treasure worth finding.

    A cycle trip down childhood memory lane that will put a smile on your face. A terrific thesis from the ex-Media Molecule team on charming co-op fun. [Issue#167, p.86]

    I have nothing but good things to say about Knights and Bikes, it has a great story, great presentation and it is fun to boot. It has a beautiful art style, great music and will keep you entertained throughout its short but very sweet campaign. If you like simple but entertaining games, you will love it, as I did.
