    For fans of games like Overcooked!, Out of Space: Couch Edition on Xbox will likely hit a sweet spot, though there are question marks about the game’s longevity as there’s a limit to how many houses you can be bothered to clean up. There’s not really a campaign as such, but you do get to unlock new things each time you play and progress.

    As far as frantic co-op games go, Out of Space: Couch Edition is great and will have you and your gaming chums entertained for hours.

    Out of Space is a fun game to play and on your own, it’s about careful planning and high pressure. Playing with others it is about great communication and cooperation whilst still maintaining that high focus. I worry that the singular objective will harm the replay value of the game. As a party game once you have conquered the biggest ship I am not sure it would be something to play repeatedly. But then that is easier said than done I’m sure.

    Out Of Space: Couch Edition is a strategy co-op online multiplayer game about living on a spaceship with your roommates. You'll need toOut Of Space: Couch Edition is a strategy co-op online multiplayer game about living on a spaceship with your roommates. You'll need to generate resources, take care of a deadly alien infestation, upgrade your appliances and build your sustainable space home. Living together is never easy, especially when you are in outer space! In this new game from the developers of Chroma Squad, you and a few local or online pals are cast adrift in a starship floating through space, and while it’s functional, it’s not exactly a comfy living space. As such, you and your crew need to turn this procedurally-generated ship into a livable space by recycling alien fluids, finding resources, and keeping the whole place as tidy as you can. When you get into a routine and have an effective plan of action with all players involved, things can go much more smoothly. You’ll have to delicately balance the maintenance of powered rooms, expanding to new ones, and taking care of your needs such as hunger and sleep. My only complaint with the entire game is the degree of difficulty, and the lack of “levels”. It would be nice to have easier play for less experienced players. Also this isn’t the type of game you’ll be playing hours on end but is a great way to pass the time with friends and family on game night. For this time only I don't wanna dive in to how to win, how to unlock items and avatars there's no point of making a long review of this game, because it's not a puzzle you know just get in and play make sure that you are with your besties collect the goods and try to enjoy without arguing with one another. The game reminds me of recent games from another developer but in the end the game is priced super right and the low price makes this worth picking up as a party game. if the game had been priced higher it would have been harder to recommend, but it kinda hits the sweet spots in different ways.… Expand
