Man, I got into this game called “Chained Together” recently, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. The whole concept is you’re chained to your buddies, and you gotta climb your way out of hell. Sounds simple, right? Wrong! This game really tests your patience and your friendships, I gotta say.
So, I dove in, thinking, “How hard can it be?” I started solo, just to get a feel for it. It’s pretty tricky, even on your own. You’re constantly managing your jumps, making sure you don’t fall because one wrong move, and bam, you’re back at the beginning. It’s frustrating as hell, but also kinda satisfying when you finally nail a tough section.
Then I roped in a couple of friends to play. We’re all in different places—I’m in the US, one’s in the UK, and another’s in Canada. We figured, “Hey, it’s the 21st century, surely we can all play together, right?” We spent ages trying to figure out how to connect. Turns out, it’s not as straightforward as you’d think. It’s not like there’s just a simple server list to pick from. We were trying all sorts of stuff, messing with settings, looking up guides online, the whole nine yards.
We hit a bunch of roadblocks. My buddy in Canada couldn’t join the server me and my UK friend were on. It was a mess. We were all getting pretty annoyed, not gonna lie. I mean, we just wanted to play this crazy game together and see who’d lose their cool first. But it felt like the game didn’t want us to.
After a ton of trial and error, we finally figured out that we had to be in the same region. Apparently, the game doesn’t really support playing across different regions like you would expect these days. We had to do some serious finagling, someone had to switch their region, and we ended up losing some time just trying to get connected.
Once we were all on the same server, it was game on. And let me tell you, playing with friends is a whole different ball game. It’s chaotic, it’s hilarious, and it’s infuriating all at the same time. You’re all trying to coordinate your jumps, and when one person screws up, you all go tumbling down. We were laughing, we were yelling, it was a blast. Although, I’m pretty sure our neighbors weren’t too happy about the noise.
We did some digging and found out that “Chained Together” is only on PC right now, through Steam. So, all those console players and mobile gamers are out of luck. No cross-platform play here, folks. It’s a PC-only party, which is a bummer for some people, I guess.
Honestly, even after all the trouble we had setting it up, it was totally worth it. “Chained Together” is one of those games that’s just better with friends. It’s a real test of your ability to work together, or at least, your ability to not kill each other when you mess up. I’d recommend it, but be prepared for a bit of a headache getting everyone connected if you’re not in the same region.
- Key takeaways from my experience:
- It is tough to connect players from different regions.
- The game’s only on PC via Steam.
- No cross-platform play, which is a letdown.
- Playing with friends is where it’s at, even with the setup hassle.
So, if you’re looking for a game that’ll push your platforming skills and maybe even strain your friendships a little, give “Chained Together” a shot. Just make sure everyone’s on the same page, or in this case, the same server region, before you start. Trust me, it’ll save you a lot of grief.
