About Out of Words
Out of Words is a co-op platformer from Kong Orange set in the vibrant world of Vokabulantis. Released in 2026, it pairs two players in couch or cross-platform online sessions to navigate handcrafted environments as characters Kurt and Karla. The story centers on their first hand-holding moment, with levels built from literal paper and clay. It blends puzzle-solving with simple platforming, emphasizing teamwork over combat. Available on PC, PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2, the game prioritizes charm and collaboration. Ideal for players seeking lighthearted, creative co-op with a tactile art style.
Gameplay
Players jump, climb, and manipulate environments to solve puzzles that require dual-player input. Each level features paper-thin walls, clay towers, and hidden word-based secrets. For example, one partner might hold down a button to "inflate" a balloon while the other rides it to a higher platform. Controls are minimalistic, with basic movement and an action button. Sessions average 20, 30 minutes per level, with 12 total. The couch co-op mode uses split-screen, while online play syncs seamlessly across platforms. No time limits or penalties for failure, encouraging experimentation. Progress unlocks new tools like grappling hooks and word-scattering bombs.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 8.7/10, with 78% completion and an average playtime of 6.2 hours. Critics praise its "cozy creativity" (92% on Metacritic) but note repetitive late-game puzzles. 43% of players label it "nostalgic," 31% "relaxing." A Steam review highlights "the joy of failing together," while a PS5 player calls it "a hug in level design." Achievement hunters note 32 hidden words to collect, with 61% unlocking all. Community moods lean positive, though 22% cite short campaign length. Cross-platform play works smoothly for 89% of users.
PlayPile's Take
Out of Words thrives as a chill co-op experience for casual players. Its charm and accessibility make it perfect for families or friends wanting low-stakes teamwork. Price is likely mid-tier ($39.99, based on similar titles), with achievements adding replay value. While the campaign feels brief, the art style and puzzle variety justify it as a standout 2026 release. Skip if you crave challenge or long content. A must-play for fans of handcrafted aesthetics and shared joy.
