This game is currently in the Humble Choice for May 2023, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before June 6th, 2022, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.

An online co-op spy game.

Operation: Tango is similar to the We Were Here series. Two players try to complete spy missions in enemy territory. One player will be a field operative, and the other plays a hacker, though both characters will have a variety of tasks that they will need to collaborate on to work their way through each mission. The game requires online play but only needs one copy of the game and the expectation is the only communication between the players is verbal, with no way to see each other’s screens.

Operation: Tango should be played by friends, random players won’t be as good for this. But a bigger problem is that Operation: Tango is a single experience. Once players get through the entire game, the same experience won’t be as special. I forgot to record footage, and this is the second playthrough of the same level. Even swapping characters didn’t change the experience. There are only 6 missions and while there are ten additional challenges in a new free DLC, this isn’t the longest experience.

Pick this up if you have someone to play with, if you get the game, this is enjoyable, and with the right partner, it’s something else. The reason I forgot to record the footage was that I was having an amazing time playing the game, but we also got through two out of the six original missions already, so, as I said, it’s not going to be that long.
