Tick Tock: A Tale for Two

It's remarkably refreshing to get a game that not only requires the strict cooperation of two players to beat, but actually encourages as much verbal communication as possible. You don't need an online connection to play, and you're not necessarily restricted to playing just on Switch, which makes it even more accessible. Those who prefer to game alone will get nothing out of this experience, but if you're up for a unique take on the puzzle genre – and have a likeminded friend to game with – then look no further than Tick Tock: A Tale for Two.

Tick Tock: A Tale for Two offers a great escape game featuring a mysterious village, eerie environments with great atmosphere, varied puzzles and a somewhat bland open-ended story. Through various platforms, you and your co-op partner will be puzzling over how to unravel the escape from the eerie world for approximately two hours. However, if you don't have the coveted partner or don't speak much English, you won't be able to play the title, unfortunately.

With a preponderance of puzzlers populating the Switch, it can take some ingenuity to come up with something new and different...

The amount of fun that you and a friend will have while playing through Tick Tock: A Tale for Two far outweighs any small negatives that are present. We need to see more of these types of games releasing on a regular basis, as they offer a different type of gameplay we don’t normally see from traditional multiplayer games.
