Played as intended, with three mates in one room, Screencheat is the most fun you can have in a local multiplayer setting. Worth owning, just to have on your HDD for parties. [April 2016, p71]
Screencheat is my favourite local multiplayer game on the PlayStation 4. It’s a nice, small, download that I’m going to leave sitting on the harddrive for whenever I have friends over, and while that might not happen on a weekly basis (I like my space, okay), each and every time I pull the game out, it’s going to more than validate its worth.
To be clear, there's definitely some fun to be had here, and the goofy visuals and music help emphasize this, but the entire experience reeks of wasted potential.
Screencheat is primarily a party game and as such works well, because the idea behind it is cool, but if you prefer to play alone, look elsewhere. [05/2016, p.73]
Screen cheat is basically an expierment that went wrong. It's someone asking the question "i wonder what a game where you have to look at the other persons screen to figure out where they are would be like" and the answer is "it would be a terrible game.
It's not particularly poorly made nor does it control particularly badly. For its own genre is probably a solid game, but its own made up genre just makes for a boring frustrsting game.
SummaryIt is an online and offline split-screen multiplayer first-person shooter in which all are invisible and you must cheat to come out victoriously.
