Sep 30, 2014Going at Chariot solo adds up to a competent and unique platformer that's satisfying, yet somewhat unfulfilling because of all the opportunity that's unfortunately necessary to pass up. However, once you have a friend in the mix, any concern dissipates and you're left with a memorable social experience that just happens to be almost flawless in its execution.

X-ONE Magazine UKDec 2, 2014Its core mechanic is enjoyable enough to sell the game on its own. [Issue#118, p.84]

Oct 21, 2014Chariot is one of the best cooperative gaming experiences we’ve ever had. It’s immensely rewarding, abundantly creative, and the sense of accomplishment that it instills within the player will lead to high-fives being thrown around the room on a regular basis.

Oct 6, 2014Chariot is up there with the best of them: its take on puzzle platforming is unique enough and challenging enough to keep you engaged for some time. It won’t capture the attention or admiration of everybody, of course, but for those of you who yearn for days gone by, Chariot is a must see.

Oct 9, 2014This is a very original and fun take on the platformer and puzzle concept. If you are a Gold user go ahead and give it a try, because it deserves it.

Nov 23, 2015In its base form, Chariot is cute but frustrating—a great idea with a lot of flaws.
-
Dec 17, 2014Chariot is a puzzle-platform developed with co-op mechanics in mind, that loses part of his charm when played alone. The game is based on its realistic and well implemented physics, and knows how to entertain, also thanks to its high replayability.

Oct 14, 2014Charming and refreshing 2D puzzle adventure granted with fantastic cooperative gameplay mechanics... but only offline play.
-
Oct 8, 2014Even with a few flaws and missteps, Chariot is still a very enjoyable platform title that is most welcome in a day and age where they are virtually nonexistent — unless you are a Wii U owner.

Official Xbox Magazine UKNov 5, 2014It's beautiful, it's comical, but it's a shame that it feels so lacking in solo play. [Dec 2014, p.82]

Oct 7, 2014Chariot is a pretty decent puzzle platformer with stellar visuals but it could've been much more, had it not been for the annoying enemies and the rather difficult task of escorting the coffin through the many different caves. Its design is sound but its pace is grueling and filled with trial and error. Playing with a friend alleviates this somewhat, so bring a buddy if you want to go through the game.
-
Dec 18, 2014Overall, Chariot is a game that is deliberately slow-paced and also demands patience.

games(TM)Nov 17, 2014Difficulty aside, another significant problem is that the game's camera is an inexplicable blockhead. [Issue#154, p.108]
-
Nov 13, 2014Chariot is a sidescroller made by developer Frima. Visually the game is very pretty, but it gets bugged by the frustrating gameplay which makes it hard to enjoy.
