Despite the fact that online multiplayer games are very popular now, there are still gamers who like to play with their friends on the same monitor. Unfortunately, split-screen games are gradually fading into the background and becoming extinct..
If 20 years ago I was told that I could play with people who are thousands of kilometers away from me, and at the same time hear them angry into the microphone, I would be speechless. But there is nothing better than playing with friends on the same couch. Therefore, we have compiled a list of the best split-screen games, which includes both popular shooters and obscure indies.
Screencheat
Screencheat is a first person shooter, but the gameplay is slightly different, which is what makes it so enticing for many users..
For example, you will not be able to see other players on your screen, you will have to look at your opponent's screen. In other words, you need to look at the radiation, and then shoot. There are several types of weapons in the game. Look for armor and a teddy bear loaded with explosives to kill your opponents as quickly as possible.
Baldur's gate 3
While previous versions of Baldur's Gate did not support multiplayer, the latest news indicates that Baldur's Gate 3 will have such an option. This is great news! The game will be released soon and can be seen at the PAX East 2020 festival..
Baldur's Gate is one of the best RPGs that is based on a gripping story of dungeons and dragons. The third part is advertised as a next generation RPG, with an interesting storyline.
It includes adventure, war, romance, struggle, and a story of conflict against sinister forces and devils. In this quest, you and your teammates must together determine the fate of the Forgotten Realms. If you like dark fantasy games full of secrets, then you should wait until the release of Baldur's Gate 3.
Split / Second
Split / Second is a racing game that supports two player split screen. As for the gameplay itself, it unfolds in a reality show where players compete for first place.
If you like explosive action racing that is different from the standard races, then Split / Second is an amazing opportunity to get everything you need in one bottle. In addition to races, there are some triggers that can destroy huge structures and buildings during races, which can further affect the outcome of the game.
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Adventure 2 is a story of heroes versus villains, and you are tasked with saving the world. You can play as a team of 2 to start the hunt for the Chaos Emeralds.
Along the way, you'll face massive resistance from returning villains such as Dr. Eggman and Rouge. However, you can choose several effective ways to fight against the forces of evil. In addition, there is a go-kart racing mode.
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection
Borderlands: The Beautiful Collection includes all games in the Borderlands franchise. Moreover, they all support multiplayer mode. While the game doesn't come with a built-in split-screen feature, there are ways to customize this feature yourself.
If you're unfamiliar with the Borderlands franchise, then this is a first-person shooter. In the frontier lands, you take on the role of one of four vault hunters, battling hordes of enemy creatures.
Rocket league
When you combine football with racing cars and add some extraordinary physics, you have an addictive game called Rocket League . The main goal is to score the ball into the opponent's goal.
Whoever scores more goals in 5 minutes wins. You can team up with your friend in multiplayer mode or fight other players from all over the world in 2v2 online matches.
Resident evil 6
Resident Evil 6 didn’t get as much acclaim as its predecessor, Resident Evil 5, but that doesn’t mean it should be thrown away. It's pretty interesting, especially in multiplayer mode.
You have to control Leon Kennedy, as well as other famous characters from the series. You must fight off all infected people and save humanity from a terrible fate. If you are a fan of adventure shooters, then Resident Evil 6 is definitely a must try.
Left 4 Dead 2
Left 4 Dead is a zombie killing adventure. Nothing beats the fun and excitement that comes from smashing zombie skulls using many different weapons. There is a mode for two players. You can even play with 4 players at the same time.
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Set in the fantasy world of Rivellon, Divinity: Original Sin 2 takes players on an epic journey in which they can participate together in multiplayer mode.
While the game supports up to 4 users at the same time, one computer only allows two people to play. For more players, you need to use online multiplayer.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is filled with adventure, battles and other crazy action in outer space. And the best part is that you can play with 2 - 4 players in multiplayer mode. If you are alone, you can play with artificial intelligence.
As for the game itself, it features beautiful graphics in which you explore the vast expanses of the galaxy on a huge neon battleship. However, you need other people to help you fly the space liner and defeat the anti-love forces that have imprisoned the space rabbits.
Overcooked
In Overcooked , you can have a team of up to four players, but if you are alone, it is possible to play along with the artificial intelligence that will help you. Here you will have to work in a team of chefs, preparing a range of delicious dishes for discerning customers.
And you will really have a lot of clients, and you must somehow satisfy the demand, working as efficiently as possible. Of course, you will have to face some problems. This is a pretty challenging game and you should love it.
Guacamelee 2
Guacamelee 2 lets you team up with up to four people, but the whole process will be on one screen. For those of you unfamiliar with this masterpiece, Guacamelee 2 is a toy in which you control a luchador who fights his way through many beautifully executed levels.
On them you will have to face a mass of different enemies. With each subsequent level, your fighter learns new abilities that will really come in handy at later levels.
Castle crashers
Raise your armor and sharpen your blades because it's time for a serious test. In Castle Crashers, you have to go through several levels and capture several castles in order to save your princess.
Team up with your friends in multiplayer mode for up to 4 players and smash all enemies in a barbarian style. Kill anyone who gets in your way.
Cuphead
Cuphead is a game where you have to run around with a gun in your hands, controlling an animated Cuphead and his brother Mugman. Here you need to fight, passing level after level. You will be opposed by an army of enemies.
Cuphead is a really fun toy, but the controls are quite challenging. It is necessary to take this into account and make settings specifically for yourself, so that it is easier to pass difficult levels. Old-fashioned graphics combined with fast gameplay may not interest everyone, but many.
Worms armageddon
Worms Armageddon is another not-so-typical multiplayer project. We can say that it is rather a cooperative game. Even watching others play is really fun, but playing it with friends is just unrealistically interesting.
Use many strange and funny weapons and tools to destroy your enemies. Create a team of different players and go head to head against another team.
