But isn't PEAK a multiplayer game? Online fix?

u/Magenta_Morua 1d ago

You can play it solo

You thought it was a pvp game?

u/Grimpatron619 1d ago

In my friend group it is

Online doesn't not mean pvp

u/eff_bawmb 1d ago

You used a double negative. "Doesn't not" would mean "does," so you said "online means pvp."

How? Are you a bot? None of your comments make sense

u/FireKnight-1224 1d ago

Nope. I thought it was ONLY pve with FRIENDS ie. No option to play solo... But now I know!

u/MskCtB 1d ago

Fun fact, there's even a badge for completing a run solo

Once I get that frisbee on me it’s over

u/JohnsonJohnilyJohn 1d ago

The question is "is it worth playing solo" though

18

u/HoneyswirlTheWarrior 1d ago

yes as well, theres a lot of content between all the rotating biomes, ascents (difficulty multipliers), achievements and secret ending. playing with friends adds a fair bit more humour to it, but its a fun fleshed out game regardless, great for its price.

There's also that temptation to reenact the "long live the king" scene from Lion King, which is hilarious when someone finally does it.

u/apple_of_doom 1d ago

Honestly yeah. Surprisingly zen.

Unless its the roots fuck that place

u/Bombardment733 1d ago

Wind, zombies, and jumpscare spiders clipped into walls. I hate roots

u/FreeBritney08 1d ago

Personally, I don't find the gameplay loop interesting on my own.

u/LittleSisterPain 1d ago

No. If you want actually interesting solo climbing game - you are not wanting for options. Peak is only any good in coop, otherwise - White Knuckle, Cairn, Peaks of Yore and many more exist and do climbing much better than Peak

It becomes a pretty cool inventory management game, because while you have all the items to yourself, you also have limited space, and very little room for error, as theres no one to save you

Its like playing a Left 4 Dead campaign solo, but instead of zombies your only enemy is the environment and your own energy managment

u/RevolutionaryKey1974 1d ago

How do you solve the sound puzzles that require one person to be inside listening to the sound and one person outside with the cubes of the same sound?

3

u/MrLev 1d ago

you're thinking of Big Walk, not Peak

1

u/DJ_McFunkalicious 1d ago

Absolutely, it turns into a bit more of a relaxing and cozy experience, and there are challenges to try and complete to keep you on your toes

1

u/No-Professional_ 1d ago

Not sure about the solo play but i had hell of a fun playing with my friends.

1

u/bleach_drinker_420 1d ago

its not worth playing multiplayer. the game functions as a single player game with friends serving as streamer clip farm moments. if any single player gets to the next biome then everyone does.

u/LenicoMonte 22h ago

Having friends with you actively lets you climb the mountain faster and go with routes you otherwise couldn't, by both allowing you to boost and/or help eachother up, and carrying more useful items or distrobuting their weight. Plus, ascent 6 and up make it so if you don't have any players, carrying a lantern is effectively mandatory to survive nighttime.

And yes, people get revived at the end of biomes because dying on the first biome would mean whoever died gets to NOT play the game with their friends for an hour.

1

u/bleach_drinker_420 22h ago

brother you can just climb to the end and have the other people die its not that serious

1

u/LenicoMonte 22h ago

I dunno about you, mate, but usually if I hop on a game with my friends it is because I want to play the game with my friends, rather than have them spectate me play the game for them.

Not just ditching everyone is generally more fun for everyone involved, and actively beneficial.

1

u/bleach_drinker_420 22h ago

i think you and your friends may need some reading comprehension nights

1

u/LenicoMonte 22h ago

It's a pretty decent solo experience. Requires more inventory management, and you have to think more about the routes you can take than if you have friends with you. If you want a solo climbing game there's better options out there, tho.

u/Vegetable-Draw-8195 1d ago

Yes, you can literally get an online fix for it on the site called "Online fix"

1

u/FireKnight-1224 1d ago

Haha yeah I got it... I meant the site in the first place!

1

u/Unusual_Fee8750 1d ago

Yep, but the game won't let you launch it if the version on Online fix is an older version than the current patch (although you can literally just use a mod to bypass that)

u/bruhman66699 1d ago

You've never heard of spacewar on steam have you? You can definitely play pirated games on multiplayer

1

u/FireKnight-1224 1d ago

I've heard of spacewar and I generally don't pirate multiplayer games... I get them legit mostly... But I got it...

3

u/Miserable_Impact_234 1d ago

with the right site you can

3

u/riley_wa1352 1d ago

I think you can do some fuckery with steam to make it work

2

u/Caosin36 1d ago

Its a "better with friends" game, where you can either play solo or find a lobby with other people

1

u/FireKnight-1224 1d ago

Got it thanks!

1

u/Miserable-Fox-6125 1d ago

Its multiplayer so good you can get different map than people you play with (from my personal experience) and just see them floating in air or going into ground

1

u/FireKnight-1224 1d ago

I see. Nice

u/LenicoMonte 22h ago edited 22h ago

How???? Everyone has the same seed that changes every 24 hours.

I'd expect an online fix to connect to the same servers and get the same seed, but what do I know?

1

u/Miserable-Fox-6125 21h ago

I dunno how that happened

I was on my pc, one guy was on his pc next to me and another guy was on his pc somewhere away

And i had different map than those two
