What players think
The recurring themes across 165 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Outbuddies is a Metroidvania that borrows heavily from the "Metroid" side of things, with Mayan Inspiration in its environments, and a focus on more exploration-Based gameplay.
+ Soundtrack for the last sector, the ending sequence and the credit roll.
It has a distinct coop system to balance the game-play for unique two-player adventuring, where you can switch between both characters on the fly.
Highly recommend a controller.
The game properly works both singleplayer and multiplayer; however, clearly some boss extras were thrown in for multiplayer, as using the robot companion requires leaving your character entirely immobile.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 4 sampled reviews and are not shown.
