    Operation: Tango a two-player escape room experience, where you and your partner solve mini puzzles in their respective world views and coordinate with each other to solve a bigger puzzle at hand. 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. If you enjoy games such as It Takes Two and We Were Here, you will enjoy these game.    … Expand

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

    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

    On the whole, you get a really interesting and exciting gaming experience with "Operation Tango". Especially if you have a good friend at the start, you can tackle the challenging puzzles and tasks directly and discuss them well. Namely, in the game it depends on good communication.

    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.

    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.
