Chariot

8.5/10

With two players pushing and pulling the coffin of their own accord it’s redolent of a classic Chuckle Brothers sketch. It’s chaotic fun in a mould that’s largely disappeared since the advent of online gaming but has seen a revival of late with the likes of Towerfall: Ascension. Nevertheless, Chariot is still an engaging single player experience that’s well worth the admission fee. Just remember to hold X to pay your respects.

After all, you still have the ghost of the king, even if he won't return your high fives.

You will harbor feelings of contempt when player two unintentionally pulls you off that hard-to-reach ledge that took five minutes to reach, followed by moments of utter gratitude when they latch on at the last second and save you and the chariot from falling out of view. Both of these sensations, no matter how extreme, are c...

Chariot is not for the faint of heart, it's a game that requires patience and a slightly stubborn nature to stick with, whether in co-op or single player. Although initially often frustrating, you do grow to embrace the challenging nature of Chariot. Solo gamers may want to approach with caution as, although it's still a decent experience, this isn't a game carved out with single player as its main focus. Instead you'll be left with a somewhat hampered campaign that's equally as frustrating but far less rewarding than that of co-op mode. However, those who are able to enlist a gaming partner o...

It is a very beautiful title. A tad repetitive but considering it's free right now on Xbox Games with Gold I'd suggest everyone give this a go, no matter who you are.
