An excellent follow-up to the first game. Nearly every single puzzle (of which there are over 130) has been perfectly crafted to allow the player to have that "Aha!" moment that all puzzle-lovers crave. The graphics are some of the most beautiful I've seen in any game, making the progression from world-to-world an exciting experience. The story telling is quite different from the first game, offering a fully-voiced ensemble of characters that all feel incredibly fleshed out in their ideals. Conversations, therefore, feel like a true back-and-forth that lends itself well to allowing the player to fully think through the problems that the game is presenting. All-in-all, this game's improvements and changes from Talos 1 can be aptly compared to the leap that the Portal series made from Portal 1 to 2; with it's larger story and world and tighter puzzles and problem solving, it truly feels like a step up in all regards.

Easily the best soundtrack of the year, it's insane that an album of this quality is Steam exclusive. Every single track from Disc 1 and 2 is so well crafted and mastered, you'd think there was an entire team of musicians behind the magic.

(In the spirit of Bandcamp:)

Not only is this game a nearly perfect VR experience, but it is without a doubt the best half-life game we've gotten yet. Every single inch of this game oozes atmosphere, and there was not a moment that I wasn't fully immersed in the universe. The graphics are STUNNING (even photo-real at times), and the gameplay is stellar. I could not be more happy with this experience, and I cannot wait to see what Valve is yet to create.

Wow.

What an absolutely fantastic experience.
The entire game plays like one huge logic puzzle box, and all of the problem-solving flows effortlessly into a truly challenging, satisfying, and emersive experience. The graphics, while interesting in their own right, also fit very well with the overall stylization of the rest of the gameplay and world.
I would highly recommend this game to anybody who enjoys playing detective and solving logic puzzles. Definitely try to avoid any and all info about the game as anything can be a spoiler, and have a pen and paper handy.

Exactly as fun as it looks. As soon as this game has a level editor I don't expect to ever stop playing.

EDIT: Community-Made Level Editor works like a charm! I'm officially playing this game forever.

A wonderful and fantastical story about families, values, life, and (most importantly) death. The gameplay is constantly changing and evolving to compliment the story, leading to a consistently intruiging experience. The graphics and music are hauntingly beautiful, and the environments are full to the brim with character. The whole game feels incredibly polished and exceptionally executed in a way that gives me confidence to say that this story was best told through the video game narrative experience.

After attending two live shows and hanging out with some of the most incredible players I've met from any game, it's safe to say this is one of the best social experiences you could have with VR. It's filled to the brim with personality and energy, and the amazing music is the icing on the cake.

A must-have for any VR user.

As a huge fan of pixel art, zelda, music and owls (not necessarily in that order) I really like this game. It is for sure one of my favorite games of 2016 and probably one of my favorite indie games of all time.

Will absolutely nailed the feelings and vibes of Tower Unite in this OST. It's a perfect mix of crisp and upbeat ambient/house with varients into techno, rock, d&b, funk and jazz. The smooth electro leads and accompanying strings, as well as the poppy and pleasing percs (my favorite part) leaves the listener feeling like they're opening a fresh can of soda on a hot summer's day. The perfect feeling for Tower Unite.

If you enjoyed the atmosphere and aesthetics of Tower Unite, then I highly recommend you pick up this OST. I look forward to hearing the rest of Will's stuff as more and more is added to TU in the future :)

Favorite Song: Planet Panic Main Round

As a long time fan of pixeltail and a lover of gmod tower I cannot recommend this game enough. It is simply the perfect relaxation game. Tower Unite can only be described as a "Playing Games Simulator", and it's core concepts revolve around playing games and living in an awesome universe of friends and fellow gamers alike.

In Tower Unite, you are given the freedom to play a bunch of games, which range from first person shooters to minigolf to nintendo-esque teamplay. This is essentially your "job" in this world, and you are rewarded with $$$ for being good at games and playing.

On top of this, Pixeltail is an incredible team of hard-working artists and writers, and there is no other indie team I can think of that has as much talent and creativity as them. They are constantly thinking of new and creative things to add to TU that will make the game even more fantastic.

All-in-all, Tower Unite is an amazing experience and if you're a fan of playing video games with friends this is the first game I'd recommend. Thanks for everything you guys are doing PixelTail. Appreciate ya.
