Overview

Run with scissors and walk on walls in this award-winning local-multiplayer gravity battle arena game from the mind of a former Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare developer. Enter the pages of old books where you will find strange environments and a cabal of playable characters. Matches are not only fast-paced and intense, but they require you to think in whole new ways in order to master gravity.

As it stands, the game is a must-own if you have a consistent group of 3-4 players. A copy of this game was provided by the publisher for review purposes.

Paperbound is a riot, and a ton of fun to play with a group of people. As easy as it is to quickly hop in and set up matches, and the fairly simple control scheme overall, it’s a great party game.

Simply put, if you're in the market for a local multiplayer brawler then you can't do much better than Paperbound with its insanely chaotic matches, ridiculously fun gameplay mechanics, and more variety than you can shake a pencil at.

It is great in bursts, and when you have friends playing with you, Paperbound glows with energy. But the lack of online or additional content takes its toll. Yes, the matches are exciting but, while plenty of laughs and shouting can be had, that excitement wanes after several intense hours.

The best way to determine whether Paperbound is for you is by answering one simple question: can you assemble a group of people to play video games with on a regular occasion? If the answer's yes, then put this on your watch list; it's a fun and fulfilling casual brawler that will provide solid afternoons of multiplayer action. If not, then you should probably consider closing the book on your interest in this.
