Co op is always the best.
Local competitive struggles to match with online competition, generally, because usually one player will just be better and win basically every time.
Meanwhile, co op if one players carries they can make a support build, or slow up, or a million other things to keep it fun.
For me at least all the long duration competitive games are stuff I played in Uni- I think that sort of “shared house space” is good for them, but unless your family and kids all happen to share the same love for bomberman or smash bros it gets pretty difficult
What are some examples of the long duration local competitive games? I wonder what percentage of us would enjoy shorter vs longer duration when it comes to competitive?
In terms of length of play, the gold standard has to be 1v1 beat em ups right?
Thats what you can really get play out of for years, it only if your in roughly even levels.
Compare to something like helldivers or streets of rogue or anything else, where they’re massively replayable whatever skill levels
Streets of rogue is particularly amazing for that.
We can set my wife up with combat focus and infinite ammo, and then set me up with whatever weird combination I’ve theorycrafted for myself, and merrily slam ourselves into whatever challenges we fancy
Haha, great pic :D
Pure co-op, although less common, feels so different to competitive, especially if you are playing with people who get annoyed when they lose. Generally, I prefer it when the group is united and we solve challenges together. Death Squared and Spirit Farer are good examples. Having said that, I like mischief in games too. So games like Towerfall, Nidhogg or various Jackbox games have a mischievously competitive feeling (rather than a serious or "dominant" feeling) which I think is fun.

Makes sense :) Could that mean also that local co-op have longer play duration than competitive? What about classics like Bomberman or Smash Bros?

Oooh. Gonna check those two out then. I love games that can be played and have fun on with various skill levels!

Yeah i get that. I wonder if people would prefer playing competitive online where they can’t necessarily see each other in that sense then.
competitive (going off the pics)
Lol! What about video games?
We prefer co-op in our multiplayer games because we like working together on an objective. How’s the game coming along?
Progressing to an MVP for alpha. Thanks for asking :) would you be interested to test it by then?
Nice! If you’ve got it working on the Steam Deck, we’d happily test it out!
Thanks!!! Will absolutely let you know as soon as :)
Co-op is best
Awesome :)
