Looking for multiplayer family games (lemmy.world)

Like the title says. Looking for suggestions for multiplayer (LOCAL) family games.

I think Monopoly is available on Plus and am gonna download that to try it but am wanting suggestions for other games you guys have played with your family and kids in the living room setting.

Specifically looking for 3-4 player local multiplayer type games.

Thanks!

Depends how old.

Overcooked/Overcooked 2 are great 4 player games with local coop

Try PlateUp. It's similar but I enjoyed it more.

I have it for PC but I think the PS5 version drops early 2024

This only covers games with a co-op mode, i.e. exclusively solo or competitive games are out of scope. It will let you filter by feature, player count, and platform. It's well worth having a browse.

I spend most of my family game time with 2 player co-op but some highlights that scale to more players are Rayman legends, Bonkies, and Sackboy's adventure

Jackbox games

Little Big Planet is fucking amazing, both the mini games and the story in multiplayer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Sackboy is basically the newer version and also really good.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Ultimate chicken horse. You can play locally and with people online. Play it with my kids (11 and 8) all the time and they love it. Tetris connect and Spelunky 2 are fun as well.

Edit: the Overcooked games are fun couch co-op games too.

Lovers in a dangerous spacetime (I think that's what it's called) is a pretty fun 2d co-op spaceship flying game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Just started playing this with my 9yo after Christmas, we're having a great time. Picked it up for a song from the Steam sale as well as Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes which we tried out yesterday. Had her sweating bullets but was fun and is a great opportunity to work on communication skills.

We also play a lot of Overcooked 2 (much better mechanics than 1) she is damn good at it. We 3-starred almost the entire base game and are looking at grabbing the expansions.

Rabbids is really fun. Most of the PlayLink games like knowledge is power, chimparty, frantics, that’s you, just deal with it, uno. All of the jackbox party games. We probably had the most fun with the murder mystery trivia one. Little big planet, gangbeasts, wobbly life, goat simulator.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Moving Out and Overcooked are hella fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Super monkey ball banana mania apparently has about a dozen party games as it compiles content from the prev releases. Have played some of them on the GameCube - Monkey Target being a fave.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Really great. Monkey Bowling and Targets. The main game is best played on gamecube imo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

There's Nickelodeon Kart Racers, which supports up to 4 player split screen

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Ones I love: Sackboy, Overcooked All You Can Eat, and Ultimate Chicken Horse

Upcoming: Plateup! and Make Way

I've also heard good things about Tomb Raider Temple of Osiris

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands has local co-op up to 4 players.
