This was miserable fun to play with my beastie as a kid
TikTok in the 2000s.
only good fromsoft game
it's a shame that Dark Souls fans can't call themselves true FromSoft fans, because unlike Dark Souls you need a friend to play this one
Dark Souls is not the hardest From Software game

Cookie and Cream are both so adorable and so cute and ah yes of course it's a FromSoftware game so these bunnies are in for a hellish experience.

The single player mode of this game is evil and cruel. Demanding a level of precision is basically FromSoft's whole brand identity but expecting you to do this with two characters simultaneously, with one stick for each character, requires a level of savant-like focus and/or independent eye movement. Will revisit later when I can convince someone to run through it on co-op.

(This is part of a series of party game reviews for party games that I messed around with alongside a good friend in a weekend. I'm writing them with time inbetween each review to avoid flooding so I can still have friends after this.)
Now here's a pleasant surprise! If you've ever played the minigame Dungeon Duos from Mario Party 4, The Adventures of Cookie & Cream is basically that minigame but expanded into a full on multiplayer title with boss fights and collectibles. You play as these two bunnies (I think they're bunnies?) that got transported to this mysterious island and now have to escape while running through Donkey Kong Country crash courses like Crash Bandicoot filled with spikes, battering rams, pitfalls, crocodiles, and other assorted wildlife that's out for your ass. It's a pretty cold start in that there wasn't much explanation for my friend and I when we booted this up and started the course, but it's pretty easy to get the hang of the controls and there's plenty of leeway thanks to just how much extra time you can grab with the timer collectibles. There's a lot of room for skilled coop gameplay and trickier manuevers too, if you're willing to go the extra mile to scout out all the timer collectibles and puzzle pieces to improve your rank, and the boss fights utilize these mechanics in a slightly different but still quite intuitive manner. My friend and I blazed through the first world in a matter of minutes, and we'll definitely be picking this up to play again in some of the more exotic destinations like Music World when he's back in a few months.
Oh, and I don't recommend the brutally difficult single player mode, even if you like those other FromSoft spinoff games like "Dark Souls" and "Elden Ring." But then again, why would you ever want to play those when the true FromSoftware GOAT has been right here all along?

El primer dark soul. Si juegas a este juego tu solo con los controles que tiene, literal estas demente
My marriage survived The Adventures of Cookie & Cream
i feel like i cant really rate this game until i play it the way it was intended, but i can say its almost no fun alone!
I spent so many years of my childhood yearning for someone to play this game with me and then when I eventually got to do this it was kind of underwhelming so I am salty about it but objectively speaking it's a cute co-op game
overstimulation simulator
I love to watch the mechanism. There is much joy in the mechanism. The game is really fun and nicely challenging for a pair of friends until suddenly every level becomes torture around the 3rd last world. Give it a shot tho! Can theoretically be completed in one sitting.
i was wondering why this game was so damn hard as a kid but now i see it is by FromSoftware. it's all clicking together
This Was Made By The Folks Who Would Go On To Make Freaking ELDEN RING
The Adventures of Cookie & Cream "4,5/10
Não deixem a capa te enganar, é um jogo da from de fato, diria que é o verdadeiro precursor do souls like, gameplay que te faz ter que dividir o cérebro pra poder controlar dois personagens com UM controle, e de grande dificuldade tanto em controlar como resolver os puzzles, no geral é um joguinho que so server pra relembrar a era antiga da from.
The Adventures of Cookie & Cream não fede nem cheira.

this game is like if dark souls was hard
Very good, it gave me a migraine and got me into several arguments over the course of one playthrough.
This is one of the most cursed games I’ve ever encountered
Genuinely think this is the only FromSoftware game I’ve ever played. Great fun in multiplayer, and in single player it should be used as a torture device
this is the hardest fromsoftware game ever made in single player my head hurts so much
An amazing co-op platformer with fun moments and puzzles that lead to a lot of laughs and pratfalls. Unfortunately, it's close to unplayable in single-player. They give you the option of splitting up each character's movement to a single control stick but it's not worth the hassle and expects way too much split-focus from the player.
