20 Greatest Multiplayer Games Ever. The games that made you laugh, cry, and want to kill your best friend. Single-player video games can be great, especially with the massive advances in. A game in the mid-to-high 70s range is often serviceable enough, and the consensus I'm seeing is that Mass Effect: Andromeda is still a fun game regardless of its flaws.
Learning the controls is among the biggest obstacles an inexperienced player faces when trying to pick up a game. Luckily, for the comedy physics game Octodad: Dadliest Catch, failing at even the most basic actions is part of the fun. As an octopus in human disguise, Octodad must navigate every day, suburban life as a working husband and father without having his true identity discovered. Mundane tasks like grilling burgers, going to the grocery store, and taking the kids to the aquarium become hilarious struggles with Octodad’s awkward, cephalopodic movement, something that players of any skill level can enjoy. Telltale's The Walking Dead. There’s no point trying to push mechanically complex games on your non-gamer friends or family members if they aren’t interested. But that doesn’t have to mean all interactive experiences are off the table.
Telltale’s The Walking Dead is a simple, compelling adventure game with enough character drama, suspense, and tough choices to engage gamers and non-gamers alike. While they aren’t co-op games, the frequent decision-making and branching dialogue adds a participatory element that makes it fun not just for the person playing, but for spectators too. Telltale also has family-friendly takes on this same formula with games like: Story Mode.
Like The Walking Dead, Until Dawn’s approach to interactive story makes it a great choice for people who either want to stick to something mechanically simple, or lose themselves in a character-driven drama with occasional decision-making. There’s a bit more freedom in Until Dawn though.
Paired with its often cheesy horror, optional clue-hunting, genuinely thrilling quick-time event sequences, and several endings that can see all or none of its teen slasher movie-inspired cast survive, Until Dawn has plenty there to keep everyone glued to the screen as you work together to unravel its mystery. The side-scroller genre is classic and iconic enough that even someone who’s never played a game before can recognize its rules and format.
Playdead’s Inside is far from Super Mario Bros., but it’s still a fantastic game to show non-gamers. It is minimal, but gorgeous, full of incredible tension and mystery. It also has one of the most striking moods of any side-scrolling puzzle game, established with a mix of exhilarating scripted sequences and quiet, gloomy backdrops. Unlike Playdead’s debut game Limbo, or similar games like Braid, Inside’s puzzles aren’t too hard, so even the non-puzzle-savvy can enjoy themselves.
