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

    Chariot 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.

    Overall, Chariot is a game that is deliberately slow-paced and also demands patience.

    Difficulty aside, another significant problem is that the game's camera is an inexplicable blockhead. [Issue#154, p.108]

    Chariot 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.

Love the story its fun and cute and the couch coop is something I am a huge fan of. Loved Guacamelee and Child of light and now loving this game. Also its free with games with gold so no reason if you have anybody at home wanting to game with you not to grab this game on Xbox One and game it up. Just love it and so far have zero complaints difficulty seems to move up with the game and I thought carrying a dead king would get cumbersome and boring but it's honestly one of the coolest elements I've used in any game.

    Great coop, great puzzles and great fun.    … Full Review »
