Platform, Puzzle, Strategy, Adventure
A physics-based coop game where each player controls one of the arms of a hideous thing. You will go on a journey full of absurd encounters to find the abomination gods and receive their blessings. At long last a game that lets you incarnate a screeching pile of flesh!

Screen RantZackerie FairfaxAug 20204.5/5 starsStruggling's difficulty and intense nature will have players on the edge of their seats gripping their controller as they helplessly attempt to flop Troy's arms away from danger. Or, if they bring a friend, it will incite some hilarious gaming memories. Struggling is easily an instant classic from Chasing Rats studio, and anyone who is up for a challenging and memorable experience should give this game a whirl.

God is a GeekChris WhiteAug 20208/10If you love a challenge, Struggling provides it in spades. The visuals and level designs are fantastic, and the music is the icing on the blood-soaked cake.

Nintendo LifeChris ScullionSep 20205/10Struggling isn't the first game whose main gimmick is a protagonist who's deliberately difficult to control. Whereas other games do this for comedy effect, though, here it only serves to frustrate. It's difficult enough in single-player, but as a co-op experience you're far more likely to want to slap your friend in the face before you'll high-five them. Success does feel like an accomplishment, but the end rarely justifies the means, making this strictly a game for masochists.
