KNIGHTS AND BIKES is a hand-painted action-adventure for 1 or 2 players, set on a British island in the 1980s. It's a coming-of-age story starring Nessa & Demelza, exploring the coasts of Penfurzy on their trusty bikes, looking for a legendary lost treasure in a Goonies-inspired tale of excitement, danger, fun and friendship. The two new friends, along with their pet-goose and the pickled-head of an undead knight, form the Penfurzy Rebel Bicycle Club, and are ready for anything this adventure throws at them. They pedal into danger to face threats head-on with frisbees, water-balloons, video game controllers and the powerful beats of an amplified boom-box.

I really really liked this game. So much actually that I got the artbook. So when I saw just now that it had mixed reviews I thought I should add mine to the mix. haha.
Back during pandemic I was looking for co-op games to play with my girlfriend while stuck at home. and I was surprised by how well Knights and bikes managed to convey the childlike exploring + imagination. If you're looking for challenging gameplay then this is probably not for you. The game is pretty straightforward and super forgiving. If, on the other hand, you're looking to have a great time exploring a beautiful world (with or without a friend). While enjoying a good story. Then I suggest you give this one a go.
It might be specially good if you're looking for something to play with someone not very used to gaming or a child.

This game balances whimsy, action, nostalgia, and a little fear of the unknown in an amazing way. The gameplay is fun, though sometimes confusing. Every new ability brings an element of silliness and fun while also keeping it interesting. The story is sad but endearing, and embodies the difficulties of holding grief and friendship.

Cutest coop game I've tried in a while.
It's not "It takes two" level of coop interaction, but it kind of is.

If I could give a middle rating, I would here.
I played it in Singleplayer, but I could see were it would be good in coop; the game is fun to play and is a genuine adventure with silliness and fun ideas. You roam around on your bike and get up to shenanigans and solve small puzzles and fight together! The world and art is great and interesting to explore. The music is appropriate and can be pretty cool at times.
On the flipside, there are parts where nothing is really happening, just running around or riding your bike in silence from A to B (maybe its trying to set up mood?) and the writing is inconsistent and underdeveloped at times, even with consideration to the subject matter and plot, which for me kinda derailed investment (it committed a few personal story telling sins and I threw up my hands), so I was just playing for the game.
It also played perfectly on steam deck!

Very good game, people should know more bout this game more. Good coop, good puzzles, good story... probably voice acting could take the game to a better spot, but the game is really good.

It is a fun co-op game that is simple enough so that its casual but hard enough that its fun and intense at times! Story is great and especially the sound and music. Highly recommend trying this out with someone you vibe with :)

This game was quite a RIDE. Pun intended.
The overall gameplay and story were fun, it's got heart, the art style is so charming, the soundtrack is great (especially *that* one - I WANNA RIDE MY BIIIKE ALL DAY ALL NIGHT), and you get to put yourself in the shoes of a kid (or kids) and get that imagination that you've probably started to ignore as an adult going again.
