I managed to play a full match a few days ago with no problems.

Can probably be done with PS4 controllers too if they have gyro.

I used Ryunjinx emulator, set all controllers to be "left joycon", vibration multiplier x10, rotate joystick 90 degrees and that's all

No photo or anything just wanna know what everyone thinks of this game? Yeah, I know it got a online mode that might be dead (Never tried it) but what does everyone think of the local splitscreen?

My roommate and I recently played through Quake all over again and she's itching for another shooter. Unfortunately I can't browse for FPS Splitscreen on the shop screen on the ps5. What do you recommend?

Im looking for local multiplayer games 2-4 people that run on a Pi5.

As i know some arcade games i would welcome some more modern games that run on the performance of a raspberrry pi5 8gb ram and make sence on a 17inch screen.

Hi guys I have started new gaming channel kindly do support I'll be uploading new videos every day and I'll be covering all the genre of the game thanks for your support kindly find the link below for my channel.

There are 2 main sections :

• A) Games I've tried (with my kids)
• B) Games I've not tried yet

These 2 sections are divided into 3 main sub sections :

• i) 2 players max
• ii) up to 4 players and more
• iii) online multiplayer

I've started to add the minimal age I recommend. If no age is speciied, then the minimal age is 6-7yo. All games are available on Nintendo Switch unless specified. I try to focus on games that gets above average reviews. I'm probably going to put this in an Excel spreadsheet at some point to make it easier to filter. Games with less than 300 reviews on Steam and less than 20 reviews on Metacritic gets the "LK" tag which stands for lesser-known.

Me and my wife recently completed “it takes two” and “a way out”. Since then we have been struggling to find something similar to scratch that itch. Does anyone have any recommendations? We also sometimes play 3 player CTR with our son. So a local 3/4 player game recommendation is welcome too. Thanks

Do you know of anything like Castle Crashers, Lovers in Dangerous Space Time, or Overcooked that came out on Android I could put on my Tablet? Looking for some 2 player co op

I'm trying to find some co-op games to play with my 5yo that allow me to make the game easier for her while she's learning. Maybe a side scroller beat-em-up game where I can give her way more health. Or games where we have different roles, like a Mario Kart type game where I drive and she fires the shells.

Hi! We're a couple from Spain who likes to play coop games. We ran out of games and we were thinking that it would be great to play with another couple online. For example me and my partner in our couch killing zombies on How to Survive with another couple around the world. Sounds like a fun night!

I'm looking for some suggestions of local multiplayer games for PC or console emulation for 4 players. We usually play Mario Party, but my sister gets angry because she loses all the time, so I'm looking for more cooperative games for some casual fun play. We have been playing "Moving Out" and had much fun with it but reached a point when we no are longer progressing due to the latest level difficulty, and now it just feels like a chore. Same with "Overcooked". Any other suggestions of similar games, specially some that are forgiving for people with different skills.

I wish also some cooperative games with some sense of progression and story. Something like "It takes two" but for 4 players. Or like some kind of Zelda game but multiplayer (yes I know there is "4 swords").

I've (miraculously) have able to make more than 12 controllers work on PC. Mix of wired and wireless controllers with adapters, bluetooth, whatever. I'm curious how I can consistently get 16 controllers going on PC. If I have to upgrade my motherboard, use a translation layer, whatever, so be it. I'm just curious what other people have been able to get working.
