"$20 is a good price for the amount of enjoyment there is for Tools Up!, but given its age, you probably would be right to wait for a sale when the discount is more significant."

"A charmingly clever multiplayer title, Tools Up! takes the madness of Overcooked! and distills it into a far less chaotic, though ultimately more thoughtful set of scenarios that players of all ages will surely enjoy."
Read original review"Tools Up doesn&s;t make the most of its clever co-op gaming concept, but I still had a decent enough time. I&s;ll be there day one if a sequel ever takes this home-renovation hook and runs wild with it."

"Tools Up! is a local-only cooperative four-player game that doesn&s;t quite hit the mark with all of the mechanics. Throwing feels useless when your character refuses to complete the action, and targeting can be a concern in tight corridors. Playing …"

"It&s;s an incredibly accessible game, but the necessity to cooperate isn&s;t as strong, and it may not hold your attention as much because there&s;s less going on."
