Yep. Mariokart can just get fired up anytime when I’m chilling with an old friend.
We had a lot of fun with Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (also known as "Gotta Save the Space Bunnies") which is not split but local co-op on a shared screen.
Helldivers is probably the one I've spent a fair chunk of my life to. Excited for the second one thats coming out soon, though they do seem to be taking a different approach going from top-down shared twin stick to 3d so I'm curious how that will affect things
My personal favorite is Timesplitters 2 with Timesplitters Future Perfect very close behind
Can't beat a good GoldenEye/Perfect Dark style shooter
God yeah Timesplitters 2 was amazing, hoping the rewind project eventually comes out, seems like they're making steady progress though
Borderlands series is pretty fun split screen!
I very much enjoy the Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga game. It really handles multiplayer well.
Is that the one that introduced the starting on 1 screen and then went into splitscreen when you got too far from each other?
That was just an amazingly well thought of way of doing couch coop/splitscreen.
I think there's are multiple Lego games that do couch coop that way and yeah, it works pretty well.
Yeah that one! It's really well done. No limimtations of mulitplayer. I remember playing the old version of clone wars and episode III on PC and having to stay within the same screen.
A Way Out is not the best game ever, but it's the right length for my bother and I to do it in one single evening. Which made the ending pretty good for us after a few hours of continuous gameplay and pizzas
My fiance and I enjoy playing Mario Golf and Mario Kart on the Switch and Borderlands on PS5 together.
Trail out has been a lot of fun. Not quite up to the physics of wreck fest but good fun 2p couch gaming. Also been playing twinkle star sprites on Saturn.
MX Unleashed and the early MX vs ATV games (Unleashed and Untamed).
Its an offroad racing series focused on dirt bikes. There's something fun about ripping the throttle open on a gigantic map and exploring the area. The freestyle tricks were awesome and they even had golf carts you could drive.
- Halo
- It Takes Two
Goddamn these two games are so well crafted and awesome. Halo is a classic fps with every aspect of gameplay gelling really well with me. It Takes Two is a unique with some revolutionary gameplay mechanics. Some of my favourite games of all time
It Takes Two
The game is such a wild ride and I am still amazed at the amount of themes and game mechanics they squeezed in there.
A Way Out was really fun too.
My choices have to either be Halo 3, Gears of War 2, or ScreenCheat. The first two were my childhood lan parties and the third is just a super fun party game that you can play in person or on parsec.
baldurs gate: dark alliance
this is like the third time today I've added this to a post. great memories
Usually my group falls back on the Jackbox party games, like Quiplash. The best is when my group develops running jokes.
“What should you not use to paint a wall?” “A chainsaw”
“The least likely weapon to be used in self defense” “A chainsaw covered in paint”
Those games are HYSTERICAL with the right crowd. I wish I could play them more but I think they're most fun with a few more people than I usually can drag into it.
Probably my favorite one from a nostalgia stand point is Medal Of Honor Rising Sun. Me and my dad played the business out of that game together. In terms of actual gameplay, probably Sackboy: A Big Adventure. And/or Cold Winter on PS2
Goldeneye, god that was great on Nintendo 64
Perfect Dark. So much better than Goldeneye. My brother and I played hundreds of hours of multiplayer when we were young.
Customizable bots, awesome weapons with secondary functions, great maps, a great campaign - everything about Perfect Dark was amazing, and it will always be my favorite split screen game.
Not technically split screen but same-screen, Gauntlet Legends, and also Zombies Ate My Neighbors
I've been into hosting party games on TV with the Steam Deck, so we've been doing a lot of
- Stick Fight The Game
- Rivals of Aether
- Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time
- Jackbox
- Broforce
- Scott Pilgrim vs the World
I know they're not exactly split screen, but great games for multiple players
not necessarily split screen, but local multiplayer, I had a ton of fun playing Crawl with roommates. Duck Game is also a top tier laugh too.
