Manic Mechanics is a co-op action party game from Scottish devs 4J Studios and it follows the tradition of other ‘work’ based games doing for car maintenance what Overcooked did for catering and what Moving Out did for furniture removals. This game sees you working in a series of garages where cars come in […]

GigaBash is a multiplayer-focused action brawler from Malaysian studio, Passion Republic. Mainly melee-focused (albeit not exclusively), this crazy party game feels like a mix of Smash Bros. and Powerstone but with a satisfying cast of Kaiju and Kyodai archetypes stomping around creating chaos in deliciously crumbly environments. With the influence clearly […]

Cannibal Cuisine is a co-op party game from Belgian-based developer/publisher Rocket Vulture. The game allows 1-4 players to work together and it won’t take too much work to figure out that the game is something of an Overcooked clone. For the uninitiated, Overcooked was also a co-op party game where the aim of […]

A party game with a good hook can go a long way. We’ve seen plenty emerge that have hit the right note and the latest to step into the fray is Rubber Bandits. Coming from Flashbulb Games, this brawler centred around thievery is a quick, simple effort that seems to […]

I think there’s been plenty of good party games that have hit over the last decade. Whilst I’d never call it saturated, the genre’s filled with some quality for local and online combatants alike. The latest one to come my way is A Gummy’s Life. A multiplayer brawler coming from […]

We’ve said it before but the Jackbox games are easily the best party games out there (at least until Hidden in Plain Sight gets ported to modern consoles) and here at PlayStation Country, it’s been a mainstay of all of our online and in-person meet ups. As ever, the Chicago natives Jackbox Games […]

Cake Bash comes to us from Gateshead-based dev High Tea Frog and publisher Coatsink. High Tea Frog is made up of ex-Ubisoft Reflections alumni who’ve worked on the likes of The Crew and The Division amongst others. So you might expect something of the same sensibility from this, their debut […]

We’ve been fans of the Jackbox series ever since it first arrived on PS4 and as a group the writers and our mates have had many a good session on these games before. Of course, these all lead to pretty much the most offensive humour ever because we’re idiots but this […]

Runbow from 13Games is a port of the 2015 Wii-U party platformer and two big clues to the game’s nature are found in the title. You run and colour has a big effect on the gameplay. The core gameplay involves you running across a 2D level, jumping on platforms and generally […]

The original Disco Dodgeball found some success as an enticing party game that lacked longevity. 82 Apps have returned with a rejigged version with some new features. Can the new coat of paint reinvigorate a title that ran out of steam? Disco Dodgeball Remix’s gameplay remains unchanged from the original. […]

Marooners is a party game from Dutch coders M2H Games who previously brought us the gritty World War 1 shooter, Verdun.

Ninja Shodown is the latest effort from Bitmap Bureau, the Southampton-based devs who brought us the enjoyable 88 Heroes. Much like that game, Ninja Shodown is an arcade/action platformer of sorts with a better-than-retro aesthetic and it sees up to four ninjas tearing around single screen levels slashing their way […]
