unlabelledView post →Lol I don't even know who the other two are but they're definitely the evil ones who refused to pay any of the visual artists on the Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes project.
unlabelledView post →I made my wife cry. She has many qualities that I adore her for. Giving me directions on diffusing a bomb on a time crunch is not one of them. Really fun game but be prepared to question your communication skills with whoever you play with. I'd love to watch new people play this to see how they make out with it.

unlabelledView post →Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is one of the few games I've ever encountered that can turn complete strangers into a functioning team, expose hidden personality traits, and cause hysterical laughter through catastrophic failure... often within the same five-minute round. I have about 149 hours logged on Steam, but that's a lie of omission. Between earlier installs and copies outside Steam, the real number is easily double that. Most people I know played this with friends. I played it with…

unlabelledView post →The base game is a great as a party game, where the puzzles themselves are relatively easy and the challenge is in communication. Even if this is as far as you take this game, it's worth it to hear the crazy ways people will describe the symbols of keypad. But in my opinion, buying this game is only the gateway to the wonderfully diverse modding community. From vanilla+ modules that give the game near infinite variety to mind-bending challenge modules that force both defusers and experts to…

unlabelledView post →So sad that a game that the management behind this developer team opted to NOT pay the 3D modelers nor the artists that worked on this game got any of the profits from this otherwise incredibly successful game. The number of times I've played this with others with their copies, just to buy it for myself to play with yet more friends now feel like it came at the expense of many who helped bring this to the table in the first place. If you think people should be paid fairly for their work, do…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent communication challenge. Defusing modules with Wires and Morse Code while someone else reads the manual feels nerve-racking and fun. It gets as chaotic when the timer starts ticking.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If this were an IRL situation, the pressure would get to me and I would panic. Thankfully, it's all a game, so I should be fine, right?
