    A local multiplayer game that crosses the limits of the console by forcing us to play with a friend who tells us how to deactivate the bombs with a manual. A lot of tension created by the link between the players that makes them go to the limit.

One of theA brilliant and original idea for a game: KTaNE is an asymmetrical co-op experience where you play a classic spy movie sequence. One of the players must defuse a bomb, while the other provides instructions. While the idea is great, though, it didn't work too well for me and my co-player. We had fun for an hour or so, before the game started feeling like work. Good, mildly enjoyable work–but work none the less.

    The problem with this game, for me, was the same that I had with "Overcooked!": both games force you to streamline and accelerate communications between players under an increasing time pressure. For many people, the concept seems to work. For my co-op groups, however, it never does. After a while, people feel like they have to focus on optimizing, rather than having fun. While KTaNE is a great concept, it quickly becomes too stressful to work as a game.
