The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
Because the game is strictly single-player, parents and kids must rely on pass-the-controller habits or spectator spotter roles, which makes sustained shared play harder than in true cooperative titles.
Skills this builds
- Trading the controller between narrative set pieces and neighborhood side activities
- Serving as a navigator by spotting Hunter Blinds and Spider-Bots across the skyline
- Deciding together how to allocate rare city tokens across shared suit and gadget tech trees
Try this together
When tackling the Hunter Blinds, let one person pilot the Web Wings while the other watches the radar to tag snipers before landing.
