The WhatsNext verdict

Fairy Tales is best played with a friend who enjoys communicating through simple, readable puzzles and occasional chaos. It is a compact, nostalgia-rich co-op platformer, though solo players may find its multi-character controls more awkward than rewarding.

What it does best

  • Cooperation is the whole puzzle

  • Excellent same-screen two-player play

  • Clean elemental puzzle solving

What might put you off

  • Janky, dated controls and presentation

  • Solo play becomes awkward micromanagement
