How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About BattleBlock Theater
A boat full of friends is shipwrecked on an island ruled by cats who force prisoners to clear platforming levels in a theatre. You can play solo, but it shines with two on the same sofa, with a hilarious narrator and competitive modes.
