A wonderful puzzle experience awaits in ‘Biped 2’, and my wife and I learned that we need to work on our communication skills to get better.

I absolutely adore games with wild and wacky premises, especially when they’re paired with an adorable aesthetic. Biped 2 checked all of these boxes right off the bat. It’s a co-op adventure, where players control their little robots’ legs via their controllers’ analog sticks. When I asked my wife to play with me, I thought it would be an easy little adventure. Oh, how wrong we were. But, while frustrating at times, it was some of the most rewarding fun we’ve ever had playing a video game together, and I can’t wait to dive into the full experience.

Biped 2 has a very interesting control scheme. Each analog stick controls a leg on these adorable robots. And after the brief tutorial, gave my wife and I far too much confidence, we jumped into the first level. We breezed through the first stage, so we figured that we’d be more than capable of zipping right through this stage. Right? Well, the game had a completely different idea for us. It was quick to introduce new features, and plenty of interesting puzzles. As it mentioned many times, synchronizing is key, and we learned quickly that we had plenty of work to do before that finally clicked into place.
