If you’re a fan of cartoony co-op games like Overcooked or Moving Out then Merek’s Market is a worthy addition to your library. Between the crafting and haggling I liked that the game feels different enough from those other titles to stand out.

I really liked the formula for Merek’s Market. However, the more I played the game the more the niggles with the gameplay started to wear away at me and I didn’t enjoy the single-player as much as I envisioned I would going in. Still, this game probably has the best single player I have played in this genre to date. Co-op of course is where the experience truly shines. Merek’s Market will likely be an experience where you’ll laugh with joy and shout with frustration but the memories of doing that together will make for a great gaming experience. With that said I still recommend this game.
