    Played as intended, with three mates in one room, Screencheat is the most fun you can have in a local multiplayer setting. Worth owning, just to have on your HDD for parties. [April 2016, p71]

    If you’re looking for a fun and chaotic game to play with friends or online, you’ve found the one. It’s fast-paced, it’s intense and it’s a lot of fun to get stuck into. While £11.99 might seem like a steep price for the game, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

    Screencheat is my favourite local multiplayer game on the PlayStation 4. It’s a nice, small, download that I’m going to leave sitting on the harddrive for whenever I have friends over, and while that might not happen on a weekly basis (I like my space, okay), each and every time I pull the game out, it’s going to more than validate its worth.

    Although fun in small bursts, it doesn’t have quite the same staying power or online community that other games enjoy.

    The execution isn’t quite as good as the central concept, but this is still a fun celebration of everything that’s great about split-screen gaming.

    Screencheat is undeniably fun, party/shooter hybrid which brings back fond memories of the good old days of split-screen.

    A brilliant concept is hampered by a limited amount of content, while playing online doesn't have nearly as much charm as playing on the couch with a couple of friends does.

    Despite the token attempts at longevity, the romance won't linger. [May 2016, p.94]

    To be clear, there's definitely some fun to be had here, and the goofy visuals and music help emphasize this, but the entire experience reeks of wasted potential.

    Interesting concept, and fun with friends, but a lack of online competition makes it rather dull.

    Screencheat is primarily a party game and as such works well, because the idea behind it is cool, but if you prefer to play alone, look elsewhere. [05/2016, p.73]
