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.

January 1, 2024 -

Are there any games out there I should try besides the list below?

It takes two, Unravel, A way out, Overcooked, Moving out 1/2, Borderlands 3, Earth Defence Force.

Of the list above she enjoys It takes two the most and didn’t mind borderlands 3. I personally like games like GTA, Cyberpunk and Far Cry 6, I’m wondering if there’s any split screen RPG or FPS out there that I haven’t come across. Currently we are playing COD 3 MW doing the campaign.

Any titles recommended will be appreciated! Many thanks!

‘It takes two’ is actually really good like playing a Disney Pixar movie and literally requires two players for everything. Played it last night with my kid and both really enjoyed the gameplay, although the storyline would more suit an older kid it’s totally PG- oh I see you have it on your list already. The Lego games are great despite mixed reviews, we really like the star wars saga
