There are many features that go into creating and playing video games but there are few games that standout making them better than the rest. We have been able to provide you with a list of our top games that we played together. We have a bonus game that we look forward to.
Donna’s Top Games
Sackboy A Big Adventure
I’ll be honest—I’m not a hardcore gamer, so for a game to really hook me, it has to catch my eye. And this one? It delivered. The vibrant worlds, unique character skins, and enticing visuals had me hooked. But it wasn’t just the aesthetics that had me hooked. The gameplay is very engaging as you move through different stages, you have to figure out obstacles, collect orbs, and fight off bad guys. And my highlight moment of it all is when I found a fish and used it as a weapon. Yes, I smacked every enemy I saw with it, and enjoyed every minute. I even smacked Aaron with it!
I’d happily play this again and crossing my fingers they release a new Sackboy. I’d rate this a 10/10.
Overcooked 2 All you can Eat
If you and your partner don’t have good communication skills, this ain’t the game for you. This game can be a lot of fun but you have to come up with a game plan/flow to beat the challenges and or get your three stars. Once Aaron and I found our flow we breezed through the game. Not saying it was all easy because there were definitely challenges but it was fun. Visually it was okay nothing special or out the ordinary. But very engaging with all the different stages.
I’d rate this game an 8/10.
It Takes Two
Playing this game made me realize that I really like games with a good story line. From the annoying but funny talking book, the little girl feeling unloved, to the couple on the verge of a divorce there was a lot to keep up with. The narrative hooked me, driving me to play through to the end to uncover it’s conclusion. The game play is also engaging. From fighting a vacuum cleaner, bees, and even stuffed animals as you go from stage to stage. I would say for this game COMMUNICATION IS KEY. There will be moments where you are literally tied to each other so you have to work together.
Definitely 10/10 for me
Aaron’s Top Games
The Past Within
This game isn’t very appealing to the eye at first and it’s a bit creepy, but this is a really good “escape room” kind of game. I’m a fan of brain teasers and working together to accomplish a goal. This game requires you to use discord, phone calls, or some kind of chat room to play because you will both see something different. When you first get in there aren’t really instructions, you really have to put yourself in the game and figure it out. COMMUNICATION is key for this game because you need to unlock doors, use codes to move on, etc. If one person gets stuck then you’re both stuck, can’t move on to the next stage without certain keys. I’ll give this game a solid 8/10, and those 2 points are because of the graphics. Again, not really appealing to the eye unless you like the art work, but the gameplay is interesting and tricky to get through, a good experience either way.
Sackboy A Big Adventure
If you are a fan of Astro Bot, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, or any Platform Games, this one is for you. The overall gameplay makes it fun and challenging all at once, so you’re not breezing through every stage on the game. This might be my favorite game to play because of its quirky cartoon vibe. Each stage brings something different. This is easily one of those games that has replay value, you play it once, then you play it a few more times because of how fun it is. Playing with someone that has a funny personality makes this game funny also because there are parts of this games cut scenes that are really hilarious when you think about it. Gameplay is smooth and not bulky and the challenges for each stage makes this game a 10/10 for me. This is fun for 2 people,m or even a family.
It Takes Two
This is a fun CO-OP game to play with a loved one, there’s a love story connected to this game so that’s why I recommend playing it with a loved one, but it isn’t mandatory. This game is split screen so you’ll be able to see everything for your point of view as well as your partners point of view, so you’ll be able to get see each other be embarrassed with each others play. This is team dependent so you’ll need to be on the same idea when going through the stages. My favorite stage was with the squirrels and bees going to war with each other, with an insane plot twist. I’ll give the game a 9/10. It was difficult to get started because we both needed the game to play but once we got a flow it ended up being a really good game with very good story.
Anticipated Release
