r/localmultiplayergames on Reddit: 4 player split screen games on PS4?
May 7, 2021 -

I'm having a going away party on the 16th and am looking for some good 4 player party type games or even 2 player with fast matches (like nidhogg) so far I've been thinking about getting The Escapist 2, Nidhogg 2, Stickbold, Override Mech City Brawl, and SpeedRunners. I'm sure thats more than enough games but any suggestions for games I might not know about would be greatly appreciated

Tricky Towers is definitely a blast. Everyone knows Tetris and this just makes it more chaotic. I had 3 family members over last weekend and they understood the concept right away, and after 30 minutes they were already challenging for the trophy. Ended up playing for 3 hours straight.
