I've played this through twice now with my best friend, and for context we play co-op games together and have done every week for almost 2 years, and this is one of our favourite co-op games! The art is so cool, and the puzzles are really interesting and fun to figure out between the two of us! It's got such well thought out and enjoyable gameplay for both players, We NEED more games like this.

Fun co-op game, but way too short. Wait until it goes on sale, unless you're happy spending $20 for only 3-4 hours of gameplay.

Excellently made asymmetrical coop game. Important note: only one player needs to have purchased the game. I can't say too much without spoiling things but if you enjoy games like "Keep talking and nobody explodes" or the "we were here" series, you will adore it. It is rather short but what is there is near perfect.

This game is seriously brilliant. It's short, yes. But it's brilliant. No word of a lie, I loved it so much I held off on reviewing so I could make it my review #200. I wanted this to be significant. This is a game about being spies. One of you is an infiltrator, sneaking around in buildings and being subtle AF. The other is a hacker, in the very spirit of being a netrunner in Cyberpunk 2020 or a William Gibson novel. On the surface, it looks like it follows the template laid out by an older game, Clandestine: the spy, the hacker, the teamwork. Except it's very extremely not that game. That's like saying smoked salmon and buffing compound are the same thing because they look kinda dark red. They're radically different. In Operation Tango, the game is really more about communications and problem solving. In the midst of hacking a network, or infiltrating an office tower, or whathaveyou, somebody is going to get stymied by a lock, or a missing password, or something similar. The other may have access to that very thing, but needs to go find it, and/or communicate to the partner how to find it. Sometimes you can see what they're up to, but indirectly--a drone camera, some digital readout, etc. From that frame of reference, you'll have to direct your partner. So this is very much a game about communication. A partner is mandatory. A partner you can communicate well with is mandatory. Even still, failures will happen, but the game is extremely generous with its savepoints, very polite with failure messages, and extremely forgiving. If communications aren't happening, luck and patience might see you through. But again, this isn't hard. There's a bit of sneaking, "cyberspace" "hacking", bomb defusing, and so forth. It totally nails the feel of being a movie spy, or a scifi hacker. It's a game that brings you the *experience*. Now, it's a short game. I played through the whole campaign as the hacker in four hours. I might go back and play the campaign as the infiltrator. Let's say another four hours. But the thing is this: My partner didn't buy a copy. Only I did. One person plays for free. Effectively divide that price point in two, because both of you are paying for the price you see. And that's a heck of a steal. This game is brilliant. I have only one regret: It's that I waited this long to play it. I bought it pretty much on the day of release, and I sat on it for awhile, because that's what I do. This will be great fun to go through with my wife, as we've rigged up a picture-in-picture way of showing what she's doing on my own stream. We'll surely give this a spin soon, again. And if you made it here, you're my kind of person and I hope you pop in and say hello. http://twitch.tv/fdejeuner. Oh yeah. And totally buy this game and get your buddy to grab the free coop partner download.
