Critic Reviews for Manic Mechanics
Manic Mechanics is a charming party game that takes a lot of inspiration from Overcooked, yet manages to stand on its own.
Classic co-op party-gaming fare that's unpretentious and very quick to pick up. It may be just a little too similar to Overcooked. but given how rare local co-op games are this is a welcome riff on a familiar theme.
Manic Mechanics is a reasonably sufficient attempt to do Overcooked! in a garage, but lacks the magic that made its influence such a classic. Entirely disposable fun for a weekend then, just don't be expecting your friends to be begging to play more next week.
Manic Mechanics is great for an afternoon of fun with a friend or someone new to this style of game, but with its limited content I struggle to see it making any meaningful waves. I would love to see the content expanded on in the future with DLC or a sequel. The game is unique and inventive within the structure that it was created. Given further iteration, I could see myself enjoying the Manic Mechanics world just as much as I enjoy Overcooked.
Manic Mechanics is a fun party game with friends. Solo adventures can grow dull, but the gameplay is still chaotic with solid controls and unique levels.
Manic Mechanics is a simple, entertaining chaotic cooperative game that bets on some innovations during gameplay that highlight its competence. By avoiding excesses, it delivers family content full of entertainment, as well as an accessible solo experience.

Manic Mechanics' simple approach to co-op gameplay is enjoyable at first but it becomes repetitive fast thanks to its lack of variation.
The game has been one of our favorites of the year and I look forward to hopefully seeing new content released for the game in the not-too-distant future.
