All You Need is Help

I was pumped to play this with my friends. I ignored some of the complaints in other reviews here but I should have listened. The slow stage intros + stage-entry character lines + being forced back to lobby after every single stage... it makes for an excruciating time. The only feeling worse than wasting my time with all that slog was wasting my 3 friends' time who tried the game with me (local play). We also kept running into a bug where one player's character and title customization would overwrite every other player's character and customization. Super annoying and defeats the ability to customize. The actual gameplay is neat enough, though I've only dipped my toe in. I think this game would improve a lot if the devs 1) squash the bugs, 2) speed up stage intro +500% and cut stage-entry character lines, and 3) allow players to proceed to the next stage rather than being forced back to lobby. If these things were fixed, I'd give the game a second chance.

All You Need is Help, developed and published by Q-Games Ltd., is a cooperative puzzle experience that transforms simple spatial mechanics into lively, communication-driven chaos. At first glance, it presents itself as a bright and adorable party game populated by fluffy cube-shaped creatures. Beneath its charming exterior, however, lies a cleverly restrictive movement system that forces players to rely entirely on one another to succeed. The central mechanic defines the entire experience: each character can move freely in straight lines but cannot rotate independently. This limitation means that adjusting orientation requires physical assistance from teammates—pushing, nudging, or leveraging environmental features to align properly. Even the simplest objective, such as fitting characters into a specific shape or triggering switches simultaneously, demands coordinated positioning and active communication. What might seem trivial in a single-player puzzle becomes hilariously complex when multiple players attempt to align themselves in tight spaces without the ability to turn. The game is clearly designed with multiplayer at its core. Supporting up to four players in both local spl…

A fun game when you can actually get into a game. Nobody seems to be playing and you cannot play alone, and even then chances are you'll match with an afk troll who just plants themselves in the way.

I think the idea would've worked much better as a 2 player co-op game instead of 4. Yes, you can play this with just two people if you both go into Duo Mode (press Y on your controller in the hub, this isn't explained anywhere!), then you'll each control two blocks with one controller, but oh my god the controls in Duo Mode are awful and confusing. Whoever decided menu controls should get all flipped around when in this mode: I dislike you. Whoever also decided the block that's controlled with the left stick should usually spawn on the right side of the screen, and the block controlled with the right stick should spawn on the left: I [i]really[/i] dislike you. I also just think having 4 blocks walking around very small stages quickly gets messy and confusing. Instead having puzzles built around 2 blocks and the game only being 2 player would've made it feel more chill. Speaking of making the game feel more chill, the timer is so unnecessary and stre…

The game looked pretty neat and cozy but unfortunately it turned out to be pretty boring
