KeyWe Critic Reviews

KeyWe does a great job at delivering exactly what’s on the parcel: it’s a cute and charming co-op experience that will challenge your communication skills. So grab a friend and get ready to sort the mail, because this one is something special.

KeyWe’s final act, Winter, expands on that camaraderie, and not just within the office. You’ll be baking cookies and decorating cards to send out during Hollyjostle (the game’s answer to Christmas), and when an ice storm hits, you’ll be glad that you mastered those transcription skills so that you can quickly get out overlapping emergency broadcasts and ship supplies to those in need. KeyWe succeeds at creating novel ways for players to carry out familiar tasks, but it also turns a game about operating a telepost into a noble calling.

KeyWe is a charming and loveable two player experience that will have you coming back for more. If the small Kiwi bird protagonists don’t already have you sold, then the chaotic puzzle platforming levels will. It’s a postal post-office adventure worth taking along with a friend. You can also choose to play it alone, but two player is where it shines the most. With very little to complain about, KeyWe is a fun and joyful title worth your attention.

KeyWe is a light-hearted, two-player platformer/puzzle experience. It is a perfect title to play with young children or those who have no experience in the gaming world. Don't expect a complex challenge but if you're looking for a game to break the routine, it can work.

KeyWe delivers great couch-coop fun with friends. Sadly, the game isn’t really worth playing for an extended period of time. Also, the fun decreases over time, because the puzzles repeat itself. And if you decide to play alone, be prepared to be bored rather quickly.

KeyWe is a frenzy couch co-op game. Its levels could be very tricky and can be really appreciated by completionists. This game has a lot of potential but is restrained by bugs and too little focus to more casual, party game and social mechanics.

Ultimately, KeyWe is one of those games that I have to add qualifications to if someone asks if I enjoy it. It's a "fun, but-" kind of game. I wish it wasn't, because underneath the annoyances are some really lovely, imaginative details. The Telepost gets different decorations for different times of year. There are mysterious collectibles to find and store in your little kiwi nest hole. The cassowaries wear halloween costumes. The notes that come with packages to send out are often funny. The kiwis are really cute! But...
