    I might be biased, in that I really love co-op couch games. But forced really proved to be a fantastic experience for me and my group of friends when we tried it recently!
    The Orb mechanic was both new and excitingly interesting, I really love what they've done with it, though I must say that it mostly shines in multiplayer.
    I was surprised at the amount of content for the relatively low price, and even though it was only early access, it all seemed very polished! If you and some friends are looking for a way to spend a couple of weekends, this is a great buy!
    It's also got a ranking list for those of you looking for a little competition, and we've already planned to dominate at least one of the maps' highscore.    … Expand

    So, I'm honestly a bit of a sucker for early access games I deem interesting, and Forced seemed like it would be cool, so I decided to buy it and play it. The game works fine, despite using the heavily annoying Unity engine, an engine I don't have a healthy relationship with, the game runs decently well and there aren't many major glitches. Although the game's design and gameplay mechanics aren't nearly as fun. The game has mechanics which are good, such as the ability to switch classes before levels, although it also has really stupid stuff, like trying to line up with a orb, then call it towards you, trying to get it to hit stuff so you can move it. It also had a mechanic which I initially didn't understand, where you had to enchant the orb, then get it to go through a statue. Despite the fact that the orb clearly goes over walls, the orb explodes when it goes over a wall, and this lead to me being completely bewildered at how to get past a level for ages. Forced tries to innovate, it has some cool stuff, it's the only action RPG you can find which is structured like Crash Bandicoot, it has class switching before missions, but the combat feels a little shallow, and there's stupid game mechanics, and ugh. At the moment, I can't really recommend forced, unless the developers have FORCED you into buying it.
