    KeyWe has plenty to offer you with so many different styles of levels. It’s a brilliant co-op adventure and I enjoyed every level. It’s a challenge to get gold, but not to the point where it starts fights – we still had so much fun trying for it. If you’re looking for a new game to play co-op, look no further.

    Sharpen your beak, master your bottom bounce, and start scooting telegrams across the Outback. Just - whatever you do - don’t dare to do it solo. You have been warned: KeyWe is a friends-only experience.

    KeWey basically is comprised four mini-games that are mixed up with different obstacles as you progress through the game. The first one hasKeWey basically is comprised four mini-games that are mixed up with different obstacles as you progress through the game. The first one has you type out telegrams by hopping on the typewriters around you and inputting the correct letters. The second one takes place in the transcription room and you must listen to an audiotape and collect the right shreds of paper that are scattered around you before combining them into a message. The third one you assembling packages for delivery and the final one is a rush to file everything correctly in the drop-off depot. As you only have a limited amount of time, teamwork is essential and there is a-plenty of doom that you can fall into if you don't pay attention. Challenges are more frantic as you'll have to combat hazards later on such as tornados that will blow shreds of paper away and vines that can consume your partner. There's certainly fun to be had here with a mate, but even with these hazards, the mini-games quickly start to feel repetitive and I found that was a missed opportunity here. Beyond the mini-games, there are also a few "overtime shifts" that you can unlock and several of these involve tasks unrelated to sorting post. These modes I actually had more fun with, than the ones included in the main work schedule, which is odd considering that these are optional and the others are required to make progress in the game. Completing mini-games rewards you with a score of either bronze, silver, or gold to receive a set amount of stamps too that you can spend on cosmetic items. The selection of items is plentiful with being able to change the fur color, hairstyle, and outfits of your feather covered mates. This isn't the only thing that you can spend your stamps on as you can also purchase hints on where you can find certain special collectibles. These collectibles can then be displayed in your kiwi's own personal section of the post office and they are a fun incentive to return back to levels. KeyWe is more geared towards playing with a friend, but the option is also there to play solo if you prefer. When playing alone you can switch between both birds or control them at the same time. Having to keep switching between characters just messed with the game’s feel for me and you'll often find that the bird you are not controlling has been carried off or swallowed by a hazard while you weren't being attentive. On top of single-player being a chore to play through, I also encountered several bugs and these even caused me to hold off on streaming the game. When playing one of the stages the tutorial didn't appear even after resetting. I also encountered a glitch where one of my kiwis got stuck on a crane and another technical issue prevented me from completing the level even tho I completed the objective, so hopefully a patch in the near future can fix some of the present issues. With there being so many quality co-op party experiences on the market, it makes it really hard to recommend this game unless you are an avid achievement hunter or fan of the party game genre. The game can be good fun if not played for longer periods of time for the average gamer, so don’t be afraid to check it out if this falls in your wheelhouse.… Full Review »
