We got kb+m and 4 controllers and need to play games while it's still vacation time for the fam and the world still hasn't fallen apart yet.

‎

We prefer Co-op with Campaign like TMNT Shredder's Revenge (or Splintered Fate but this game requires all controllers). We are open to other fun games like Boomerang Fu or Bomberman as they are good. Streets of Rage 4, Absolum, etc. We plan on playing too.

‎

What other games you got in mind? Please also suggest 2 to 4 players with native splitscreen or sharedscreen. We are also open to Switch games not only PC games.

Me and my friends want to game together on a single TV and I am looking for games just for that. So far I only know about only these ones.

1. Bumerang Fu

2. Gang Beasts

3. Movig Out

4. Overcooked

5. Stickfight

6. Tricky Towers

Long story short. I have access to a private movie theater, not a home theater but a full commercial theater, just privately owned. Me and my coworkers are talking about booking a "team building activity" in it. Book it out for the day, get catered food like chipotle, Jimmy John's, Red Robin or something and do some local split screen gaming. There are separate theaters so we could split up into 2 teams and each have our own screen but since it is supposed to be team building I figure it makes more sense to all be in the same room.

There are 11 of us and we are all old school gamers. Like nes, n64, og Xbox, GameCube, ps1 & 2 era. I have a fairly decent classic console collection. N64, SNES, GameCube, wii, 2x og Xbox, 2x Xbox 360, ps2 & ps4. Also have 2 steamdecks with emudeck and every Nintendo game prior to GameCube on them.

What would be some decent split screen multiplayer games for us? Since 11 people obviously can't share a screen, I wanted to focus on quick games and bracket style tournaments. So like mariokart, Diddy Kong racing, smash brothers, halo 1 & 2, guitar hero, unreal tournament. But interested in what titles the community would suggest.

As someone who really only wants to play couch coop with my SO this looks like the perfect game, however it's not on switch and it's the only console we have, im trying to read up on steam/couch co op but having trouble understanding how you would play splitscreen on a computer, does anyone have a good solution for this?

We loved it takes two and this looks similar, but dont want to buy it if we cant actually play it on the tv, but is limited to my macbook lol

Ive been playing roblox religiously over the past couple of years, but it seems to be losing its spark for me. Recently, me and my friends have been obsessed with the game fatal floors. We also had a phase where we were obsessed with 99 nights in a forest and impostors and roles. We really want to find a game that we can play altogether but that sort of has a survival aspect to it but isn’t an action and combat sort of game. We also enjoyed playing death in the box and games of that sort but didn’t find them to be as enjoyable as the other three.

Hi!

We're a group of 5 people and we enjoy playing couch games together. We have both PS5 and PC. Unfortunately, there are only 2 games we enjoy playing together, FIFA (FC24) and SpeedRunners.

We don't like those cooking/couch moving games, but any other suggestions are welcome!

LE: We also enhoyed Pico Park 1 & 2 - so puzzle games for 4+ are welcome!

Hey, fellas!

Are there any websites to find games like Cooptimus (or whatever the proper name is)?

It is a good one, but it lacks to many searching features and the UI is… outdated, well, makes sense, it is an old site.

We are looking for more games to play. We have played the following and are looking for more games as such to enjoy:

1. Reanimal

2. It takes two

3. Unraveled 2

4. A way out

5. Overcooked 2

6. Moving out 2

7. Dirt 5

8. A couple of Lego games

9. PES

10. Street Fighter/ Tekken

We loved the games that had storylines, especially the first 4, and looking for more games as such

Been working on a fast-paced arcade football game called Big Bad Soccer.

The focus is quick matches, chaos, and local multiplayer with friends — no complicated tactics or slow buildup.

The game includes:

• Campaign Mode
• Local Party 1v1
• Local Party 2v2
• Practice Mode
• Character customization
• 5 different pitches

Would love to know what football fans think 👀

I know many games have big ‘online’ communities. What I mean is which games have local communities meeting in big cities?

In Austin, Texas, it’s very easy to find Tekken, Smash, and Street Fighter tournaments if you simply look for them.

They’re all fighting games! Have you found another video game genre that actually has players organizing meetups in your city?

THE GAME

You play repo men.

Before every job your crew reviews the paperwork, votes on whether the job is ethical, then walks into a stranger's apartment while they're home and tries to leave with their TV. Proximity voice chat, asymmetric roles (Talker, Finder, Carrier, Driver), procedurally generated apartments. Everything that can go wrong will.

Would you pay this?

A good number of local multiplayer picks in here or ones with existing Nucleus Coop handlers.
