Jackbox is always a good option especially for a party setting. No need for multiple controllers, everyone uses their phone to play. I haven't checked out 9 yet, but it is out on Extra.

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.

replying here so i can come back to this

HELLDIVERS is a twin stick shooter that is sci-fi themed that has a single player and co-op campaign.HELLDIVERS is a twin stick shooter that is sci-fi themed that has a single player and co-op campaign.The scoring system greatly encourages teamwork: When playing co-op, once a level is completed there will be a score rewarded to the players. Luckily this score is not based off of kills, which means players can focus more on objectives instead of going lone wolf for kills. the scoring allows for more teamwork to happen, which is great as that is what co-op should be geared more towards, cooperation. | Requires more tactics over other twin stick shooters: Ammo is limited in the game, meaning the player needs to make each shot count. On top of this, where an enemy is hit matters as well, so center mass is the best place to shoot them, of course this is not always easy. Due to the fact that ammo is limited and placement of shots matter it is up to the player to try and figure out the best methods for not running out of ammo and shooting each creature. This requires patience and planning, something that is often missing from run of the mill twin stick shooters. | Intense co-op play: The whole game can be played in local or online co-op with up to three other players. Each stage is procedurally generated and feature certain objectives that need completed. Of course, the objectives need executed while hordes of enemies swarm you. This is what makes for the intense action as there are so many enemies to be found coming at you at all times, add in extra players and the action becomes quite turbulent thanks to the friendly fire mechanic. There is no way to turn off friendly fire which means everyone who is going in guns blazing may upset the other players meaning everyone will need to keep a close eye on all of the action taking place in order to succeed. | Heavily influenced by the film Starship Troopers: The main story of the game plays out a lot like the theme in Starship Troopers, where the world is united in exterminating an alien race on other planets. The humor found in the movie as well as the action are to be found in this game as well, which is all a bit over the top but all in fun, of which the game is. So for all of those that are fans of Starship Troopers, this game should offer a bit of nostalgia for them. | Enemies go all out during extractions: At the end of each stage the player/players must order an extraction vehicle. Once called the players must ward off an onslaught of enemies for 90 seconds. Only one player needs to get on the extraction vehicle, which means all out mayhem as each player can just start unleashing their most devastating weapons. This is quite a fun part of the game as each player can just go all out. | Joining co-op can be a pain: There is no way for everyone to just jump into a game, one player needs to host and then the others can be invited, but of course they already need to be on the players friend list, which may not always be the case which means more work to get everything together. A more seamless experience would be nice to see but sadly that is not how the co-op was designed. | Game gets difficult: There are 12 different classifications of difficulty in the game, as you progress the game gets a lot more difficult going all the way up to the twelfth difficulty. For some this may be too difficult and will end in frustration, so for those not looking for a challenge, this game may not be for them. | Great! I highly recommend you play the game. | Perfect co op game, best top down shooter out there- still busy online even years later

Rayman Legends is a 2D cartoon sidecrolling platformer.Rayman Legends is a 2D cartoon sidecrolling platformer.Visually impressive boss stages: The visual mechanics in the boss stages are pretty impressive as they use 3d rendering but still hold to the 2D graphical look of the game. This allows for bosses that weave in and out of stages as well as attacks that can come from the foreground or background depending on where the boss is located. · | Extended goals with daily and weekly online challenges: There are daily and weekly online challenges that users can compete in, against their friends or just the high scores listed. | Local co-op that is good for single room group play: Up to four local players can play sharing a single screen at the same time in Rayman Legends. Something that is often not the norm on PC but is seeing more new releases that support it. This is great for those with Steam Machines or living room PCs that want to be able to play with friends locally in one room. · | One of the best platformers released in years: From the beautiful design of the 2D cartoon graphics to the level design, soundtrack and multiplayer, Rayman Legends is on par with the best of platformers. | All powers unlocked from beginning: Unlike Rayman Origins, Legends has all of Rayman's powers unlocked from the beginning. Players are able to jump float, wall run and attack starting at the first level. | Fun and cute characters: The cartoony design of the characters is animated smoothly and looks great on screen. Each character's design is cute and amusing while also showing differentiating characteristics. | Up to four player local co-op so you can help children through hard parts: Up to four local players can play sharing a single screen at the same time in Rayman Legends which is great for when kids get stuck on hard parts as another sibling or parent can jump in and help them out. | Daily and weekly online challenges: There are daily and weekly online challenges that users can compete in, against their friends or just the high scores listed. | Up to four player local Co-Op so you can help children through hard parts: Up to four local players can play sharing a single screen at the same time in Rayman Legends which is great for when kids get stuck on hard parts as another sibling or parent can jump in and help them out. | Jump is floaty: The jump action feels a bit floaty which may take a bit to get use to. Normally platformers will offer tighter controls, which people tend to get used to making games that stray from that more difficult or just not something that appeals. · | One of the first games I got for the PS4 and I still pick it up to play a few rounds of challenges or work towards raising my Lum total. Solid game all around! It is pretty cool that they've kept the servers up and they continue to roll out challenges daily, weekly and monthly | realy fun and ragequiting | Really enjoyable game
