Pandemic Review
Pandemic was my first cooperative game. I had always played games where there was one clear winner and the thought of playing a game that we either all win or all lose was intriguing. It’s a blast playing together in co-op games. I have found that this genre is one that I will play any time the opportunity arises. Playing as a team, working together, and dealing with crisis makes co-op games exciting. However, just because a game is co-op doesn’t mean it’s a good one. Luckily for you, Pandemic is a great one.
Pandemic is just a blast to play. With everyone throwing out opinions on what players should do on their turn and trying to decide the best course of action there is plenty of discussion during the game. There is also the potential issue with one person becoming the leader and making the decisions for everyone’s turn, but in my experience, I have found that people have worked together to win the game.

TowerFall: Ascension might not be complicated or feature-rich, but the instant pick-up-and-play fun of its local co-op arena battles make this the best game in the PS4’s fledgling library.
Critic- Josh Harmon
Original Score: 10 out of 10

Quick setup, great game for all occasions (0 more)
Seems somewhat imbalanced with the random chance sometimes but that is subject to what happens (0 more)
Random chance Simi Co op
This game is always a lot of fun even if you feel like you don't have a chance sometimes. Great play from casual to more competitive sessions.

Innovative reimagining of a timed co-op
So this game is very very different and is a bit chaotic. Everyone must work together to move 4 pawns through the game and out the exits. The mish mash of themes I'm not a huge fan of (dungeon characters playing in a mall so where is the maze?), but the mechanics are cool. Everyone gains at least one movement ability (N, S, E, W, portals, stairs etc.) and everyone needs to work to get the "characters" through the "mall." I wonder why they didn't just make it a dungeon and keep to that theme. The scenarios get increasingly difficult and we found this game to be a good interlude game between other long format games.

Finally played it for the first time yesterday.... meh
It's a co-op, which leads to quarterbacking (one person telling everyone else what to do), everyone has a special power, so that part was good. movement is difficult, which I guess is the point. This is a tough game easy to get overwhelmed and lose quickly. Glad I tried it, it's just not for me personally.

I want to try this game, too. I am a fluffy bunny type who prefers positive games, not killing and destroying things in games, and as a former emergency medical technician who prefers fighting for the greater good, this game seems like my jam.

I've played a similar game online and agree that games like these are difficult to win. There are so many ways for vector to spread, it's nearly impossible to contain and eliminate them.
