unlabelledView post →While it seems similar to others of it's style - Repo, Lethal Company etc - it does so many little things that elevate it to the game that has hooked our discord. So many items, features, or behaviors you question at first and then realize the role they play to add up to making this game something really special. When you have co-op mechanics that don't only encourage you playing together, but actually putting yourself in danger or dying for your team - so they can get that perfect picture? So…

unlabelledView post →This game has a ton of potential but as of right now it's a bit "meh" to say the least. I think it was fun the first few times I was playing with friends but, the more you play, the more you start to see the glaring issues with the game. The monsters/mobs are basically all the same no matter what map you are on, and it makes the idea of a unique maps pointless outside of the obstacles you face when trying to get back to the helicopter. There are so many bugs in this game. Jumping on cars can…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →last update after 100% : It took me about a week of looking for random 8 player teams to find 2 teams that were good and fun. With them it was really fun and rather easy to 100%. It did feel a little silly that piles of bodies and blood and some Michael Bay explosions was worth more $ than a UFO and weird creatures fighting the Army but eh, the masses are dumb. If you have a bunch of friends and like laughing at stupid ♥♥♥♥ and dont mind some jank you may enjoy this a lot. Have fun.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was reluctant to purchase the game because it seemed like a cheap copy of some other games but was gifted it by a friend and then loved it when we all played it together. A photo is worth more money depending on what all is in the photo (explosions, monsters, attacking) and how much of it takes up the frame (zoom helps). We often found ourselves incentivized to not just approach danger for high-reward photos, but also to bring monsters to innocent citizens for good photos of them getting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is very fun to play with friends, but is stuck with a critical bug where randomly the save file breaks and you CANNOT SHARE PHOTOS with your friends... Instead its blocked by a bright white screen as I assume the files aren't sharing properly between players? Anyways, the Dev acknowledged this bug back in January 31st, 2025. Its been 11 months and they're still "working on it". It makes the fun of the mission end screen where we get graded and compared completely ruined as you cannot see…

unlabelledView post →Played this game with my best friend of many years and some Discord friends. Surely nothing could go wrong. We were deep inside a building with the timer running out. My best friend, who has approximately zero survival game instincts, was completely lost in the maze. I’m yelling directions so she can follow my voice while simultaneously talking to our other friend, who was missing a leg. I told the one legged man, “Go to the helicopter. You have enough time. At least ONE of us needs to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, I got a handful of things scheduled out & edited 6 episodes of The Headliners today finishing up the last of the recorded bits for that game. Tomorrow, I'll try to get to a chunk of both the Gang Beasts stuff & get the 2nd half the $20 Pokemon Card Haul rendered & start the uploads on those.💕
unlabelledView post →Its a streamer game. A Couple of cheap laughs but forgettable gameplay. Crew takes photos. game decides which photo is worth most. if your playing online with people they wont try to get aesthetic photos but try for most points which is the point of the game i suppose. Rating: Generic streamer game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Headliners is a fun co-op horror game that is easy to understand and great to play with friends. You play as journalists in a city full of monsters and danger. Your job is to take photos of scary creatures and the chaos around you, and then make it back safely so you can sell the pictures. The gameplay is simple: go outside, take risky photos, survive, and earn points to buy better gear. With up to 8 players, rounds can get very chaotic. Friends run in different directions, someone gets…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve spent some time with this game and honestly, it surprised me in a way I didn’t fully expect. I don’t want to sound dramatic, but there’s something oddly satisfying about how everything fits together — not in some perfect, polished “advertisement” way, but more like a game that knows exactly what it wants to be and just… goes for it.. The first thing I noticed is the atmosphere. Every part of the game — the visuals, the sound, the pacing — kind of blends into this feeling that you’re…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tried this game with my husband and its not as scary as you think but it is pretty fun until you exit the building and theres a 500 foot robot above you trying to kill you and your missing you leg and at 70 health trying to get back with 5000 dollars worth of photos lol but anyways its pretty fun if youre looking for a chill game to play with friends or loved ones

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game taught me that taking a photo of your dying friend instead of helping them is the morally correct choice. Especially if they stepped on a mine.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't normally write reviews but... No co-op centered game has been more fun to return to than The Headliners. The devs are always adding things to keep the game fresh, as well as quality of life fixes. It's challenging but SO entertaining trying to overcome those challenges. Plus frankly, quite a realistic look into what the life of an apocalyptic journalist would be like LMAO. 11/10 recommended for you and your squad.

unlabelledView post →Great fun with friends. Simple gameplay, yet has some complex mechanics to it. Updated regularly, with new monsters and stages. Well worth the price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot recommend this game in its current iteration. Sometimes when doing a quota, you get stuck with a map that is basically unbeatable because of the conditions (re; having the US Army Sherriff inside the building, and The Slender outside of the building) as every enemy just dies and is worth no money. There aren't even brightness options in the game, making it hard to see and follow for the majority of playtime. There are some absolutely egregious bugs, including items falling out of…

unlabelledView post →honestly, kinda mid. might be fun for a few rounds but the game gets too grindy and no payoff for real picutres, you gotta start blowing up piles of bodies to make enough for quota, kinda bs balancing on that tbh, closed community kinda feels more like one of those, nitch obsession types, you know, like train people. that and like, you got SO many tryhards that lose their ♥♥♥♥ if you dont max your stuff, i just dont get it.

unlabelledView post →Fun group game to keep installed for when more than 3 other friends show up. Jump scares, friends screaming, hitting others with their own limbs.. all a plus in my book. The price is good, and the devs are updating. Simple concept - buy a camera, go take pictures, get in helicopter, do not die along the way.

unlabelledView post →The Headliners flips the co-op formula by casting players as journalists tasked with photographing monsters under tight deadlines. Success relies on profit quotas that demand precise timing and teamwork as encounters dissolve into frantic chases. The goofy art style and physical comedy lean into slapstick rather than horror, turning botched extractions into the game's highlights. The quota-driven loop eventually feels repetitive once the novelty fades. The game is at its weakest during solo…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so much fun with friends. You start out running into a building where you find scary monsters and weird NPCs (some friendly, some not). You'll find traps as well. Once you leave the building to make it back to the helicopter (there's a time limit) things escalate quickly with more monsters, military, and a colossus monster or two crushing cars along the path. Update your gear and armor to live a bit longer every level. Get the best photos to meet your quota, and try not to die!…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually hate these kinds of games, but this is the one exception. I love this game and cannot recconmmend it more. This game is soooooo much fun, the only complaint I have is that the quota you get for every headline doesnt change based on how many people you play with. Eventually you hit a wall where you simply cant get 56k with 2-3 people, and playing by yourself is pretty much impossible without cranking everything to max and then still you'll hit a wall at about 26k. They will hopefully…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm actually fairly regretful of giving this game a bad review. It looks like a lot of fun, but it is plagued by bugs that simply ruin the game. Myself and 4 friends bought it, played for 4-5 games and had to refund it after every rounds would see one or many of us losing voice comms randomly, die for no apparent reason and on top of it, most of the pictures featured at the end of a round could only be seen by whoever took it, which kills the one core fun highlight of the game. Looking up…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God, I love this game lmao The Headliners is prolly one of the coolest multiplayer indie games ever. This is one of my top 10 most insane things I've ever seen in a video game lmao
unlabelledView post →We had a fantastic time in The Headliners, however there were a couple of major issues that mean I can't recommend the game. The biggest issue was that we could often not see each other's photos when reviewing them back at HQ - that is, a core component of the game is buggy and really deflating when half the players can't see what's going on. Our party saw overly frequent crashes and some lockups (DX11 seemed to improve one person's issues). Another less major concern, some achievements…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lol The Headliners was an interesting game last night. Y'all should check it out! Still funny how near misses and disaster stuff doesn't phase me like supernatural spooky things in the same way. 🤣 I was more concerned with my photo count.
