    The Cave isn’t completely without merit, but it is unquestionably a subpar game in more than a few respects, and one of its developer’s weakest outings. It has a great look and an interesting setup, but it just loses too much of its potential to middling mechanics. I wouldn’t recommend spending your fifteen bucks on it.

A must pick up for puzzle/platformer fans.… Full Review »

Players can also explore the game with up to two friends in co-op mode. The cave itself speaks and does chuckle you. This sometimes can be tricky but being a challenging game I love to figure things out. It might need a patch update as I hate the way they jump but overall an amazing experience.… Full Review »
