    That’s great news. The game already runs great on Steam Deck, but sometimes the EA app is really difficult to get logged in to.

    I highly recommend this to anyone with a dock and a significant other. My wife and I played a lot of it together, and I overheard her telling her friends that it was like we were playing a pixar movie together.

      Yep, a truly great game, deserves every award it got

        Me and my wife… Got really bored. The gameplay loop is supppperr trivial, and even though they add in stuff every now and again, eh…

        I dunno, it’s okay - but I just don’t get the hype. I wanted to pitch in because if someone is considering buying it I’d really recommend checking a Let’s Play of it before trying it.

        It felt like a game specifically designed for a gamer to introduce gaming to their never-gamed-before partner. If you’re both experienced gamers like we are, I wonder whether you’d give up on it too.

      Agreed, we thoroughly enjoyed it - hopefully, they make another game soon!

    As a side note, EA has basically locked me out of my entire library and I gave up trying to fix it. Terrible launcher.

      One of my games, you have to open twice (once to crash, twice to launch correctly).

      • CaptDust@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Sometimes more than twice. I just keep launching until I can eventually play my game. 60% of the time it works every time.

      It was doing this with unravel two. Then some day out of nowhere it started working and we could finally play it. I’m not buying anything with that launcher again.

      Add it to the list of platforms I won’t buy from.

    Fuck EA btw

    My wife found out about The Elephant Scene and refused to ever play it as long as she lives

      Yeah… that was a fun surprise for us.

      • kat_angstrom@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Was it fun though? Or was it awful?

      Yeah, that part was a distinct bum note in an otherwise enjoyable game. Why the developers thought it was good idea, I’ll never know.

      My daughter and I were really mad about this. She wanted us to quit the game. I don’t think it’s really funny or useful to the story either. Still a really fun game.

      • kat_angstrom@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah, I absolutely get the anger. My wife in particular hates cruelty to animals, fictional, plush, or otherwise, so it’s a line she refuses to cross. That’s a totally fair outlook

    Interesting, I wonder how they wiggled out from the ea app requirement and if any other EA games have a chance.

      this is what I was honestly most excited about.

    Is it The End Of Days?

    Is EA actually getting … less shitty??

    source
    • brognak@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s weirdly cyclical. I remember around when the original Dead Space came out (early iirc) they were acting pretty decently for EA.

      source
      • szczuroarturo@programming.dev ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Honestly they still act shitty. Its just that their competition is ahead of them right now in this particual aspect to the point where you might think they behave fairly decently.

    • lengau@midwest.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      EA is continuing to do what they’ve always done - attempt to suck up as much money as possible. It just so happens that for once they think being less shitty is the best way to do it. Don’t hold your breath about this being a trend.

    Wow, literally just got my wife a steam deck to play this game with me and created her an EA account last week. Joining each other was annoying using the EA friend’s list and the steam deck trackpad. Hope this update streamlines the process.

  • penquin@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Is there ANY way to play this game single?

    source
    • Blackmist@feddit.uk ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      No. It’s two player cooperative gameplay.

      One of you will be doing one thing, and the other person something to help them, and it’s always varying what you do.

      It’s not like Brothers a Tale of Two Sons, or Kuri Kuri Mix.

        Damit. Ok, nevermind. Not buying it. :(

        Can you play it on a single computer or does it have to be two machines? If it’s a single, do you need two controllers or how does that work?

    Great game, had a blast playing it with a buddy. I did not pay for it and there was no launcher either :)

    Great, now do the rest of them

    Anybody know if this game is noob friendly?

    • Evotech@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Very much so

    • Bienenvolk@feddit.de ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It absolutely is. Had a great time with my girlfriend, who normally doesn’t play at all.

  • Mango@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    And I’m still not gonna buy an EA game. They burned themselves ages ago.
