A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I have very fond memories of the first Halo on the OG Xbox. It was very cool to be able to do the campaign together with a friend.

Some splitscreen multiplayer games I've played and enjoyed:

  • It Takes Two - 2 player couch. Amazing game
  • Octodad - 4p. Every player controls one or two limbs of an octopus, who needs to pretend to be a normal father
  • Nom Nom Galaxy - 2 player couch, 4 player online. Land on an alien planet and build a soup factory. Collect ingredients and fight against another corporation.
  • Crawl - 4p. One player is a hero running through a dungeon, the other players control monsters trying to kill them. Whoever kills the hero then becomes the hero. Whoever kills the boss first, wins. Great soundtrack and art.
  • Stick Fight - 4p. Competitive yet silly ragdoll combat game
  • Magicka 1 and 2 - 4p. Wizard game, create spells by mixing elements and blow up a bunch of goblins.
  • Stikbold! - 4p. Dodgeball game, a decent bit of skill involved. Can fight each other or against AI.
  • Tooth and Tail - 4p. An RTS game that works well on controllers, you control an army of woodland creatures and have to kill / eat the others. Great soundtrack and art. Can play PvP or against AI.
  • Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - 4p. Work together to pilot a spaceship and kill monsters and save people.
  • Guns, Gore & Cannoli - 4p. Arcadey shoot lots of zombies side scroller.
  • Treadnauts - 4p. Fight each other by driving tanks on walls
  • Ultimate Chicken Horse - 4p. Design a shared platforming level with traps, so that you're able to get to the end but the other players can't.
  • All the Lego games - 2p.
  • Stardew Valley - 4p. Grow a farm and befriend villagers
  • Speedrunners - 4p. Just run and do parkour faster than the other players
  • the Trine games - 3p. Cooperative adventure / puzzle game.
  • Wizard of Legend - 2p. Wizard roguelike
  • Boomerang Fu - 4p. Fight each other by throwing boomerangs
  • Kingdom Two Crowns - 2p. Side scroller town builder, protect your town against the evils outside
  • Spelunky - 4p. Roguelike, delve into a cave searching for gold and riches

Me and a friend 100%ed crawl together and it was a really good time. Took us a while to beat all the monsters challenges.
