Good games to talk over? (lemmy.world)

ESL here, so bear with me. A friend and I started a channel on YouTube (this is not a sneaky advertising lol), it's nothing innovative, we just play and talk. Everything started when we were talking about how we use to just sit together in the same couch and play or watch someone play. We used to play a lot of Resident Evil and racing games this way. Our aim isn't really getting famous, we are just two dudes having a blast playing whatever and talking. We recently finished Super Metroid and we are starting Doom now. Soon we will be finishing X-Files (PS1) and we will start Clock Tower (SNES version).

Do you people have any good recommendation for games that are good to watch but are not so dialogue driven so we can talk over it without missing much?

Sounds fun! Here's my favorite relatively chill multiplayer games:

  • ToeJam and Earl - the ultimate chill vibes game, punctuated with moments of panic, of course.
  • Gunstar Heroes - marvel at the peak of 16 bit graphics, blow up badguy robots, find cool gun combinations, repeat
  • Cyborg Justice - incredibly steep learning curve, but a chill repetitive gameplay loop with lots of interesting mechanics to discover
  • Battletoads vs Double Dragon - Probably the best brawler, with lots of interesting twists in gameplay mechanics. But starting with 3 lives is unfair - use the Konami code for a chance to see the whole game.

Thanks! For sure we will revisit Battletoads vs DD.
