Operation Tango is a game that requires precise communication between two players as they work together as spies to complete various challenges. Throughout the six missions, these challenges may require a number of things such as the Hacker guiding the Agent, the Agent feeding information back to the hacker, a combination of the two, or even something else entirely. Each mission has a number of puzzles to solve for these two spies, and without knowing what each other is seeing players will find this game to be an enjoyable challenge.

The missions throughout Operation Tango will challenge players' ability to listen to and trust one another. While there are times that the Hacker and Agent may have a general idea of what each other is seeing from their respective point of view, there are a few instances where they have to rely purely on feedback from one another to guide them through the challenge. This instance presents itself when players have to hack passwords, a challenge that resembles the classic code-breaking Mastermind board game.
Operation Tango does a great job of varying the challenges throughout the game, and increasing the difficulty each time players run into a certain type of challenge again. The password hacking, or "Mastermind" challenge, appears a few times in various missions, forcing the two spies to work together to establish the correct code. Both players have no idea what the other one is looking at, but few key points of direction will lead them to overcome the challenge.
From the Agent's point of view, the Hacker Tool will present a screen during this challenge titled "Password Breaker." The Agent is instructed to, "Deduce decryption key with help from your partner." The Agent has to determine the correct order of four number spots, and each numbered spot can only be a "0" or a "1." If the Agent fails to get the number correct a message stating "Failure" will appear on their Attempt Log.
From the Hacker's point of view, their "Password Breaker" screen will have a message that states "Waiting for your partner to make a first attempt at deducing the key." After the first attempt, the log changes for the Hacker, letting the hacker know the results of the Agent's attempt. Depending on the order of the numbers, feedback may present itself in a couple of different forms. For example, some of the feedback could look like the attempts below:
Attempt 1
- 2 correct digit(s)
- 2 incorrect digit(s)
Attempt 2
- 3 correct digit(s)
- 1 inccorrect digit(s)
Atttemp 3
- 4 correct digit(s) in wrong position
Attempt 4
- 2 correct digit(s)
- 2 correct digit(s) in wrong position
This feedback will need to be relayed to the Agent, as the Agent attempts to figure out what the correct password should be. While there is not a limit to the number of times the Agent can attempt to get the correct password, the challenge does appear at some point with time-restricted objectives. Once the Agent has entered in the correct code the next challenge or task will begin.
Operation: Tango is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. A Steam code was provided to Screen Rant for this review.
