Heave Ho 2 Review — Co-op Chaos Gets Better Online
The sequel preserves the original’s physical comedy and takes it fully online for the first time.
Two Hands, Many Mistakes
Each trigger controls one arm. Players grip surfaces and one another, swing, and try to bring the entire group to the finish. Clear rules do not make execution easy.
Failure is part of the comedy: a bad throw can destroy the chain while producing a better story than a clean run.
Eight Worlds
Eight themed worlds vary conditions through zero gravity, kitchens, medieval hazards, ninja challenges, lasers, drones, ships, lifts, and more.
The Essential Sequel Feature
Online co-op removes the original’s biggest limitation. Local play still communicates reactions instantly, but online makes the formula practical for remote groups. Versus challenges are also included.
Verdict
8.5/10. Heave Ho 2 expands a precise idea: controls stay elementary while cooperation grows more varied. It is a strong party platformer for groups willing to laugh at failure.
