I'll start with the bad news; you definitely don't want to play this game with randoms.
Further bad news; while you can play the game solo, it makes for a mediocre experience.
Yet I absolutely recommend this game to anyone with one to three other people who will play it with you. It's a third-person shooter that breaks up rounds of fast-paced action with puzzles that are not any less fun for erring towards easy. And, the thing I like most - the whole thing is absolutely dripping with personality. Every line could be out of a 1930's action-adventure pulp novel.
Buy it, but don't forget to gift a copy to your BFF(s) as well!

If you like "Call of Juarez" this a game for you. Especially if you like '30's Indiana Jones, Mummy vibes, with an amazing sense of humor, you won't be disappointed!

Damn good co-op game. Light hearted, but very fun!
Set in ancient Egpyt, Strange Brigade features a standard-length campaign which is filled with secrets, traps, treasure and wonder. Gameplay is simple third person shooting, but it is movement-based, where you kite zombies of different types.
The enemy variety isn't too obvious when they appear in hordes, and it doesn't involve too much target-prioritization like something like Doom/Serious Sam. Yet, the game has some magic sauce that made me enjoy it throughout.
When the game goes on sale for 80% off these days, this is easily one of the most valuable purchases you can make on Steam.

Surprisingly fun game that really is at its best with extreme difficulty and co-op partner(s). It doesn't take itself too seriously which is great combination with the games narrator. 8/10. DLC's were bit disappointing with regurgitated content.

A delight on sale! A more relaxed, puzzle based, left4dead-type with several beautiful levels. By yourself I could see this being a little tough but not impossible, but with a friend or two it made for a really fun play through.
Go through the entirety of the game with friends by your side! Felt a little clunky at first, but a nice responsive dodge roll makes up for it. Enemies and Bosses have just enough variety to keep it from getting stale. Not too much grind to advance items so long as your party shares loot. I'd still recommend buying it on sale, but I enjoyed it enough to pick up the DLC!
Beaten on easy with two people at about 10 hours, each mission running between 40mins to an hour. Puzzles were relatively easy, with just a couple being a little extra brain teasers. Horde mode on easy only got a little sweaty in some bigger boss fights. Great for someone a lil less experienced in third person shooters.
And now I'm gonna go watch Brendan Fraser's Mummy!

90% off is a steal for this game. Nice mix of combat, puzzles, lore, narration and some customization when it comes to primary / secondary weapons, grenades and amulet abilities. So far a good variety of enemies and the environments are really well done.
The community is near nonexistent so you may have to try and get someone to join you for multiplayer either via discord, steam forums or convincing a friend to buy the game. Another possible negative would be backtracking or feeling like you missed something since you have a lot of hidden secrets, puzzles and collectibles that can be easy to miss at times.

I annoyed the narrator!
Fun with friends is what I would say....if you have any .....*sigh :(
