If you want to have a heap of fun with your partner or a friend, try video games for two. In the article, we will introduce the best titles for a pair of players that can be played online.
Games for Two – Online
Title A Way Out reminds of the popular series Prison Break (source: ea.com)
Whether you want to try something new with your significant other or you are both avid gamers, online games for two are definitely a great choice. Not only do they offer long hours of entertainment, but the games on our list also feature well-thought-out stories that rival TV series. Each of the two-player games also offers enough challenge, so you won’t fall asleep and instead of a boring evening watching TV shows, you can experience real adventure in the digital world. All the titles listed below can be played on one shared screen with two controllers (suitable for consoles like Xbox or PlayStation), but distance from your co-player is not a problem either, as these are primarily online games.
Most popular esports games
A Way Out
This cooperative action and adventure game will be a favorite for fans of the series Prison Break. With your partner, you immerse yourself in the role of one of the prisoners planning their escape from prison, which is not easy in itself. Gradually uncover the dark sides of the other character and their entire story that led them behind bars while avoiding police patrols. The two-player game A Way Out feels like a feature film where the viewer’s decisions matter.
It Takes Two
Cooperation, communication, empathy… Important things for a functioning relationship, raising a child, and two-player games. It Takes Two lets us step into the shoes of parents of a little girl whose relationship is falling apart. Thanks to a spoken wish, you as mom and dad are transformed into small figurines. The world for beings the size of children’s toys suddenly offers completely different challenges, and you must quickly turn back. A touching story set in the world of children’s games is an ideal game for couples.
Cuphead
Patience. A huge dose of patience. That’s exactly what you will need for the two-player game Cuphead. It is an action platform cooperative game with top-notch audiovisual style (the game graphically resembles old cartoons). It is indeed a challenging video game requiring quick reflexes, thinking, and definitely cooperation with your colleague during boss fights.
The Dark Picture Anthology
For fans of horror and dark adventures, publisher Bandai Namco has prepared a real treat for multiple players. Their video game series The Dark Picture Anthology offers its players tough decisions in tense situations where life (not just yours) is often at stake. If you think you are fearless, try playing one of the three parts: The Devil In Me, House of Ashes, and Man of Medan.
Portal 2
We already mentioned the game Portal 2 in the selection of logic games and it also appears here thanks to the cooperative mode for two players. Both players will be equipped with a gun that creates a portal upon shooting, and through mutual communication and sharp thinking, players must solve puzzles. So, fire up your brain cells and get ready for a headache even several hours after playing.
