These are the best games to play with a friend of more in split screen or local multiplayer for PC, Xbox, PS4, PS5 and Switch.
Local or split-screen multiplayer, whether cooperative or competitive, is a good ally when it comes to hanging out with friends and family. That is why having video games with good local multiplayer modes on hand is never a bad idea, whether on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch or even on mobile devices with iOS and Android. That is why we wanted to compile in this article the titles whose local multiplayer modes stand out the most. The selection does not establish a ranking between them, it is a simple list without considering genres or subjective quality of the titles.
Overcooked! All You Can Eat
In a list of cooperative games you cannot miss the wonderful Overcooked! All You Can Eat, the definitive compilation that includes both the first and second installments, along with additional content (online multiplayer options) and new modes. Hundreds of culinary levels await you in this addictive and frenetic cooking game in which you must prepare orders and organize with your friends to be the best chef anyone has ever seen. Believe us, laughter and tension are more than guaranteed. It is not surprising that the game is predicted to always exist as one of the best online 2 player games for the next few years.
It Takes Two
The Game Awards’ 2021 GOTY winner is a misleading title. Behind a premise and apparent presentation for all audiences hides a story that is harsher than expected, with quite sinister moments that include our active participation in the dismemberment of conscious stuffed animals. Almost nothing.
Sackboy: A big adventure
Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a great spin-off of Little Big Planet that shows talent and a lot of love on the part of its developers. Your adventure improves level by level as we explore its colorful worlds, beautifully designed and accompanied by a truly genius soundtrack. It is an ideal title for lovers of the genre with a lot of replayability, timed challenges, collectibles to unlock and lots of laughs.
Cuphead
Cuphead is one of the most acclaimed video games of recent years; Not only does its original graphic approach stand out, which is inspired by cartoons from the beginning of the last century, but it also offers a demanding challenge in its battles against final bosses. The action scenes take place in narrow settings in which distances and reaction times have to be measured very well.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is a wonderful game to have a great time with friends and family. To the original Wii U title, which receives multiple graphical improvements in this new version and maintains all its excellent levels, we must add the exclusive expansion Bowser’s Fury, in which we are allowed to explore a free area of different islands and collaborate with Bowsy to stop the fury of the colossal Bowser. In short, a great game from start to finish.
Worms W.M.D.
The classic crazy turn-based action title returns with a fresh proposal that takes the best aspects of its formula and adapts them with ease to new ways of playing. Worms W.M.D. It was launched four years ago but it is still more than valid as a title that should not go unnoticed when it comes to engaging in battles from the same couch.
