Treasure Treasure

5 Two heads are better than one
Cooperative games for the PC are few and far between. The first issue is th fact that games are in 3D nowadays and require mouse movement and a bunch of other cluttered keys that don’t leave room for one more. Another reason is possibly the fact that the availability of online play renders having to bring a friend over to play against/with null. Treasure Treasure stands out as a game not only because it features great cooperative play, but also fun graphics and deceivingly hard puzzles.

In the game, you can either play as Trixie or Troy, each with their own controls, so I’d recommend you play this with a friend in the same room. There are twenty treasures throughout the castle our two protagonists are in and they’ll need to work together to get as many as they can before leaving. The puzzles require a lot of trial and error and certain missteps make beating the game impossible, but with determination and perseverance you and your friend can get every single treasure.

The great part in itself is the cooperative play and the hijinks you and your friend can get Trixie and Troy into. You can blow up one of the characters, making them burning and charcoal colored, you can jump on top of each other for a “piggyback ride” on each other’s humongous heads, and most adorably hug each other when walking into each other. The game really makes you appreciate the fun time you have with your friend when you play it, so don’t miss out; it’s a great bonding experience for younger siblings/ nieces!
