So it is really really good, and it’s a free update. So much so that it feels a little churlish to gripe, but here goes.
It isn’t possible to coop the tower, which is disappointing. The language even in game is pretty vague and you can even enter the area where you access the tower together, but then it tells you this isn’t possible.
That said, the tower is really really fun. I can see myself dipping in for a quick attack on a high score whenever I want a mindless blast. It’s something that Housemarque have always done spectacularly well and they’ve done it again.
Coop itself, when it worked, seemed really fun. Unfortunately it also seemed a bit buggy. It caused a load of issues with @Gordon ’s game and forced a reboot of the console to get everything working again. Including the mute button. It might be coincidence, but we’d been chatting away while playing Elden Ring just fine for a couple of hours beforehand.
Still it left me wanting to try more coop as it seemed fun when it worked.
Definitely worth a look. Especially for the tower.
