Alright, fellow digital mountaineers, let's talk about "Peak". If you thought climbing a real mountain was tough, wait until you try to navigate this pixelated purgatory with your "friends." This isn't just a game; it's a meticulously crafted friendship-shredder disguised as a charming co-op experience.

"Peak" promises you the thrill of reaching the summit. What it delivers is the unparalleled joy of watching your buddy plummet 700 meters after a misplaced jump, all while their disembodied screams echo through proximity chat. "I'm alive!" they'll cry, a faint, desperate whisper from the abyss, only for you to realize they're now a ghost, haunting your every climb and offering unhelpful advice like, "Just jump! It's fine!" (It's never fine.)

The daily changing maps are a stroke of genius, ensuring that just when you think you've mastered the art of not dying, the game throws a new, procedurally generated curveball of pain at you. One minute you're gracefully scaling a sheer rock face, the next you're bouncing off a toxic bush, launching your entire team into a lava pit. Teamwork makes the dream work, they say. In "Peak," teamwork often makes the dream of reaching the top explode in a fiery, hilarious mess.

And the stamina system? Oh, the stamina system. It's a cruel mistress. Just when you're about to grab that crucial ledge, your character decides they've had enough, and you're left flailing like a fish out of water, desperately hoping your friend has a spare bandage and isn't too busy laughing.

So, if you're looking for a game that will forge unbreakable bonds with your friends (or irrevocably shatter them), provide endless opportunities for schadenfreude, and occasionally make you question why you ever thought video games were relaxing, then "Peak" is your calling. It's frustrating, it's chaotic, and it's absolutely hilarious. Just remember to bring extra controllers for when you inevitably throw yours across the room.

10/10 – because nothing says "I love you" like accidentally pushing your friend off a cliff in a video game.
