By fake I mean video games like super Mario bros 1 or Mario galaxy where there is multiplayer but it’s not how you expect it to be I’m writing a video on the topic but can’t really find a good list of examples
I have friends near to be and friends far away. it would be cool if i could have my near friends over to play some games locally but also include my friends from far away. are there any games that make this possible? aside from maybe jackbox.
Just wanted to say that I think baldurs gate 3 is the best local coop game I have ever played. It’s sad that there are so few games that give so much effort on local split screen coop. I wanted to ask if anyone has any suggestions similar to bg3 except ds2
Hey all!
I'm having a get together with some friends, there's 8 of us total.
We have 2 PS5s, 2 Screens, and 8 controllers. I was wondering if there was any games that did 4 players online per console?
Currently found Gang Beasts, but wondering if people had recommendations/ideas?
I've heard of Nucleus Co-op, is this the best such program out there? For reference I'm on a pretty old computer (1gb VRAM) and I was thinking of using joytokey to play old shooters like UT2k4 with 2-4 Xbox controllers
Hey everyone!
I’m super excited to announce that my game, Keep Keepers, is officially released! If you've ever dreamed of building and defending your very own fortress, or you’re a fan of games like Overcooked, automation simulators, or tower defense games, then Keep Keepers might be exactly what you’re looking for!
🔥 What is Keep Keepers?
Keep Keepers is a fantasy game where you get to design, build, and protect your own medieval keep. It’s all about juggling tasks, managing resources, and keeping your defenses strong against waves of invaders. I wanted to capture the fast-paced chaos of Overcooked with the strategic depth of tower defense and the efficiency of automation games. Think of it as a mix of crafting, strategy, and action all wrapped in one.
🏰 Gameplay Features
🎮Why You Should Try It
If you love the satisfaction of a well-oiled automation setup, the tension of defending against waves of enemies, or just the fun of running around frantically managing everything, then you’ll love Keep Keepers. It’s got a bit of everything: planning, action, and strategy, all in one immersive package.
It’s been a wild ride developing this game, and I can’t wait for you all to try it out! Looking forward to seeing your keeps, hearing your strategies, and getting your feedback. 🛠️
Check it out here, and let me know what you think! Happy defending!
My friend and I are looking for games that can work as local multiplayer on a pc for videos. Pretty much anything fun, especially if we can return to it again and again.
Created a video of me and my son playing Rounds. This is such a fun game to play as it offers creativity in its gameplay and is hilarious. Would highly recommend
I am planning a party for urbanists with multiple "stations" for activities. For one of the stations, I plan on renting a game system (the vendor has the usual big ones but I haven't locked into one yet). While I can have them prep some of the most common party games, I wanted to have a few "themed" ones as well. A good example would be Urban Flow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9vhMOVAD28
Madder Games turns your PC's web browser into a game console while you and your friends' mobile phones become game controllers. Their store just launched with free games plus on sale paid games.
As a developer I found Madder's concept intriguing:
It lowers the barrier to entry, as many people have phones but not everyone has six game controllers laying around. And, since your phone is a screen, the number of buttons can vary based on the game. This lowers the barrier to entry further for casual gamers instead of handing them umpteen buttons and two sticks when the game doesn't use it.
If you're curious, I recommend checking out the free Tanks game: it's a nice looking 3D pvp game. I'ts a perfect simple and fun experience for a group to get playing right away and see what Madder is doing here.
To play you just need to get the Madder Games app from the android or iphone store. This is the software that turns your phone into a game controller. It's lightweight and free.
The games launch on your PC's web browser and you and a group of your friends can play any of the games right on the maddergames.com website. I believe only one person needs a free Madder Games account to host. Feel free to check it out and enjoy!
So i wanted to play splitscreen with my 2 cousins. We do play a whole lotta different games of different genres.
Now we wanted to play games in which we can tame monsters like ark but I don't have a nasa pc. Any recommendations?
Title says most of it, I’m looking for recommendations to play some stuff with my daughter. She already plays her switch a bunch but she really wants to play some stuff with my on the pc. Any recommendations would be great!
Hey everyone!
I'm excited to share my new game Curvelicious, a remake of the beloved old-school snake-type games with modern UI, gamepad support, some new power-ups, and up to 8-player local multiplayer! 🚀
What’s Curvelicious?
Curvelicious is all about drawing curves, avoiding others, and being the last one standing in a chaotic, fast-paced arena. Whether you're a fan of classic curve games line pune, achtung, die kurve! etc. or just looking for a fun party game to play with friends, this is for you!
Features:
Right now, Curvelicious supports local multiplayer, and online multiplayer via Steam Remote Play, but single-player mode with a weekly leaderboard is in the works.
Check it out on Steam and let me know what you think! I'd love your feedback as I keep improving the game.
If you like it, be sure to wishlist as it helps the game :)

Hello All,
I released a new game on my site today! It's a who's who assassin game where you and your opponent are spawned into a map with one goal of figuring out who your rival is and eliminating them! It's a pretty simple game, but I had fun bringing it all together. I hope you all enjoy it as much as my wife and I did!

Looking to find a web-based team-building game where 4 people work together to complete the level. Something like overcooked but instead of 2 per team, we have min 4 or 4+
or even a game that has at least 4 vs 4 or more
(like overcooked but with more players on same team)
Web-based so it can run on any computer
Just wanted to plug this game since it's on sale ($10, usu $20). It's like Hades with pixel art and 4p local co-op; more emphasis on dodge timing and skills. Devs seem pretty responsive to feedback, and it's still being updated. I just picked it up, and surprisingly, my wife likes it too. Hopefully if it does well, they'll make more games like these.
my husband is a big gamer and i am not. hes been trying to get me into gaming for years but i just haven’t been able to get into anything he’s suggested for me or tried to have us play together. we just had a baby 5 weeks ago so games is something we can do for date night at home with baby. we’ve played stardew valley and it takes two and occasionally still play them but i get bored really easily, as well as some others which names i can’t even remember because i got bored super quickly. I like things like sudoku, crosswords, word search. so im looking for recommendations for some coop games we can play that ill have a higher chance of getting into so we can do date night at home
Hello I’m looking for 2 player games to play with my girl friend. I just bought COD Black Ops 3 with the zombie pack and it’s not really what I’m looking for. (Multiple shots to the head to kill? So dumb) Anyways, hit me up with some recommendations please!
I want to play with my girlfriend on my computer, how would I manage this?
