    Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is unlike anything else you would have ever played, but it has been created so well by the team at Steel Crate Games that it really is one of the most innovative party titles out there. Printing out the extensive manual may seem like a bit of a faff initially – and I’d be more than happy if the morse code puzzles were removed altogether – but the way the two different gameplay elements have been worked together as one is pure genius.

    Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes takes a simple concept and makes it something that’s hilarious, tense and massively entertaining. It helps that the game is very accessible and easy to understand for both the direct player and the off-screen participating helpers, alike. This is undoubtedly the best party game in recent memory, one in which losing is every bit as fun as winning.

    As the name suggests, you are going to need to work together in order to make it through this game. I lucked out and was able to play this while out of town visiting some of my best friends who are also heavy into gaming. We were all in the same room and we all took it pretty serious, so we were able to get pretty far. I’m not saying your group has to be super serious to enjoy this game, but if you’ve got friends that just want to have fun and not play a serious puzzle game, then they may not have the best time. I had a BLAST (get it? A...blast...? I’ll see myself out) playing this with my gaming buddies and look forward to getting into some of the hardcore ones.

    The presentation side of the game is a little on the basic side and it would’ve been nice if the explosion had more of an impact. SometimesThe presentation side of the game is a little on the basic side and it would’ve been nice if the explosion had more of an impact. Sometimes the controls can be a little unresponsive and this can be quite annoying. Does Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes do enough to get a recommendation from me?
    All in all I love working together with friends because when you work together as a team you all get a satisfied feeling and it does make things become even more fun. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes requires a lot of teamwork and in the end the simple idea of diffusing a bomb is not only fun but it also creates an atmosphere like no other. Without a doubt there’s tension in the air throughout your time with the game and diffusing a bomb delivers to you a great sense of achievement because the bombs can be quite difficult to diffuse especially when you come to the later levels. The difficulty of the game however didn’t cause me to be too frustrated and when it’s all said and done the uniqueness of the game and the way they ease you in gently makes recommending this game very easy because it’s been done really well and there really isn’t another game like this on the market    … Expand
