    I mean, It’s a game, it’s just not a fun one.
    Don’t waste your time on this, even if you got it for free.

    Operation: Tango прошел с другом на платину за 10 часов, растянули на 3 вечера. Некоторые головоломки заставляют подумать, даже что-то записывать в блокноте.

Некоторые головоломки заставляют подумать, даже что-то записывать в блокноте. Где-то надо подстраиваться под жесткие тайминги, напарник тебе говорит, а ты должен быстро нажать, нужна скорость реакции. А в основном, один где-то ходит, а второй сидит в компьютере, взламывает и смотрит камеры. Во втором прохождении меняетесь местами.

    Графика простая, музыка надоедливая. Однако это совсем не важно, когда весь смысл во взаимодействии и совместном решении задач. Даже при втором прохождении, не смотря на то, что уже понимаешь смысл и что надо делать, было не скучно.

    Будь она одиночной, я эту игру может быть и пропустил. Но мне кажется, любая игра в коопе более интересная, фановая и захватывающая. Весело провели время и поугарали над своей тупостью и сноровкой)

Most puzzles follow a traditional mini-game formula, but throw in the constant communication between players, describing what they see or are experiencing. The game is fun to play as both the hacker and the agent, but it doesnt offer much replayability after that.

    A very fun game to play with a friend that has some challenge. It may take a few minutes to get your head around certain things later in the game, however overall the game is about 4-6 hours long (less if you can work things out quicker).

    Lazy flash style animation, obtuse puzzles, horrible voice acting, and extremely short. This is a Wii game that can't even run properly on the PS5. During our play through it crashed 5 times making us redo sections.

    It's a fun game to play with your friend and some of the puzzles are challenging. Just a bit too short.

    Actually the game's concept is really interesting. Especially it came to my attention that the game is coop. However, the game requires you to search solutions for the problems. This is not the problem. The real problem is even though we paid attention and solved some problems, it was not satisfying and fun. So we stopped playing.

    Took us a bit to get our head around it, once it clicks, it’s an awesome, unique game and I hope they get to make another one !

    Bit odd you can’t join someone through the game, maybe make a forum dedicated to people trying to find games, or add a matchmaking service patch to the game. We couldn’t get our mics to work through the game so we had to chat through the psn app on our phones.

    If having trouble finding someone - please persevere through, it’s worth it. You definitely need to be speaking with someone to help each other through the puzzles - which is what makes it a very unique experience.    … Expand

    Fantastic game, very fun. Really hope they make some DLC, only problem is it's quite short. It can be replayed once so you get to see both sides of it. I enjoyed this a lot more than a way out

    Fun, quick, game to play with a friend, the game play is build perfectly for the teamwork of two people, and gives the game the ability to be played twice with new experiences (one run through on each character).

    Easy platinum trophy on playstation.

    The game is extremely short, maybe 2 hours max, so i'm not sure it's worth its original price, but it's definitely a fun experience, especially if you can get it for cheap or got it free on PS+.    … Expand

    With only six missions, it’s a fun way to spend an evening or two with a pal (especially if you grabbed it on PS Plus last month), but not something you can return to too often. Replaying the game after swapping roles is fun, and offers some insight into just why you were struggling on that section, but otherwise even the semi-unpredictable portions don’t change enough to make dancing with the same partner again that interesting. But it’s good fun while it lasts, and certainly doesn’t overstay its welcome. [Issue#3, p.135]

    With Operation: Tango, Clever Plays delivers here a refreshing production that will satisfy lovers of cooperative experiences. The game, with its mastered asymmetric gameplay, simply offers two totally different and yet complementary ways to play. Unfortunately, the proposal, while short, runs out of steam somewhat over time, repeatedly featuring the same mini-games or introducing increasingly confusing objectives. Despite its small flaws, the little creation deserves your full attention, especially if you are looking for an experience to punctuate one or two evenings of your summer vacation.

    Operation: Tango is a solid addition to the PS5 library that offers an experience unlike anything else on the platform. With clever puzzles, charming visuals, and novel gameplay mechanics, it’s a great way to spend a couple of afternoons with a friend. Sadly, once you complete each stage as both the Hacker and the Agent, there’s no real reason to come back to it. Nevertheless, if you don’t mind the game’s relatively short runtime and lack of replayability, you’ll find a unique and exciting game that’s worth diving into. Just keep in mind that this is a strictly two-player mission. Solo spies need not apply.
