BattleBlock Theater is hilarious. I am also hilariously bad at it, but you have endless lives and there's no real penalty for dying. In fact, offing yourself so you respawn next to the other person is actually a mechanic with its own key to toggle it.. so this is a blast, even if …

BattleBlock Theater is hilarious. I am also hilariously bad at it, but you have endless lives and there's no real penalty for dying. In fact, offing yourself so you respawn next to the other person is actually a mechanic with its own key to toggle it.. so this is a blast, even if you're bad at platformers.
The humor is silly and the endless styles of characters and weapons is fun. The levels are challenging with loads of different mechanics, but it's never so challenging that you feel stuck and end up redoing one small part a thousand times with no success (not my idea of fun).
If you try to play co-op with 3 or 4 people, however, you're going to have some problems. The game doesn't explain that you cannot do story mode with more than two people. In fact, the story mode screen has empty slots for a 3rd and 4th player. Instead, you can only do a battle mode with weird minigames. If you only have 3 players, one side's team is going to have a major disadvantage. This is a game you can only really enjoy with 2 or 4 players.
Get it for cheap and use it as a co-op party game (either online or local co-op). It's super controller friendly on Steam, but works well with keyboards, too. Also works on macs! This is just a lot of fun, and worth playing if you have friends to play it with.
(I had to go to California for a month and a half for work, and I bought this game for me and my boyfriend to play to keep in touch. It's fast-paced and challenging, and requires you to work together, but the endless lives mean even if you are terrible at platformers, you can have fun with this. Perfect game for friendly co-op!)
