Single Player Games That Are Even Better With Friends

[@HalD63]

I played the witness at university and the entire house of people i lived with and a couple of other friends were completely invested. We took notes on the puzzles. Took photos of things we needed to remember. Started drawing possible solutions. People would even come in the next morning after a night of thinking and claim they had solved something huge. We platinumed the game in a week and it was the best gaming experience i have ever had!

[@thewerewolff7248]

sounds awesome

The Witness is an awesome game. I wish I could go back and play it again for the first time.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes or Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Download the companion app, and have a friend use the radar as a second screen. You play the game, but you're not allowed to open the map or menu. It is unbelievably fun.

[@Furbz91]

This reminds me of watching Nathan The Christmas Elf. I’d never really got the vastness of Skyrim and the fun you could have creating a character and actually role playing until I watched your play through. Sometimes watching others play gives you a sense of the best ways to make the most of a game. Thanks team!

[@GeonQuuin]

Rob talks about his sister all the time. I think it's about time to actually have her on the show, yeah?

Omg, Hollie, I love you so much for mentioning The Witness in this video! Literally, I started the game solo but once my brother caught some gameplay, he wanted to help me solve my way through the rest of the game! And that’s what we did! He’s the only reason why I earned the Platinum and it’s one of my most treasured because we spent so many hours (inc many early morning ones) solving puzzles in this game together. Best co-op not-co-op game on the PS4, hands down.

[@_Flibble]

Great work, I need to solve the last lot of puzzles the ones on a timer for the Plat, and can't do it :(

[@robzombie5928]

Played through Alien Isolation with a mate on Share Play great fun laughing at each while trying to hide from the Alien. Especially when we didnt know the sound sensor was on and it could hear us talking

As yakuza kiwami has just come out as a November free monthly game I remember playing it with a mate and just watching him beat up any street thug and would always ask how’d you manage that. The response was always skill, so I always just sat in amazement as I felt I could never play and now I get my change on PS4

The fighting in Yakuza is pretty easy compared to games like Bayonetta or DMC, but still really great.

[@erikscottdebie7665]

So, my best MSG story (this one’s for you, Rob!): Some years ago, my friend and I played through all of the then-available Metal Gear Solid games: he had the controller, I was the navigator. Neither of had played any of them before. And we’d drink and enjoy this epic, weird story together. One night, we decided to drink absinthe, which of course my somewhat gullible, straight-laced friend was real excited about. You mean, we can game and hallucinate? (Spoiler: The answer is no, of course: we just had really strong absinthe, not the hallucinogenic stuff.) But it was the atmosphere, you know? So now it’s 2am, we’re drinking absinthe, doing the whole sugar dissolved by ice water thing,and weird stuff keeps happening because it’s MSG1, and finally we get to a part-I think it was psycho mantis or maybe the cyborg ninja, I don’t properly remember-and my friend looks over at me and says “I don’t know if it’s just the game or I’m hallucinating!” And I said, “it’s just the alcohol making you sleepy.” To which he replied “I feel so betrayed!” and immediately fell asleep.

[@oliverbath6028]

PlayStation Access Are you referring to the ‘5 thing we love about it’ video? I enjoyed watching that so thought a video with commentary in real time while two of you play it would have been great as well when it comes out. I do however understand you guys have to work on videos for loads of other games as well so I can see why you wouldn’t do it :)

[@rahpahgah]

I have a great one for anybody to try out actually. On Fallout 3 (I'm sure any will suffice), I had kept a save from early in the game when you're first let into Tenpenny Tower. My friends and I would take turns in an arcade style mode we created, just seeing how much death and destruction we could wreak till everybody was dead or we bit the bullet. The best run was from my friend Jon, who removed the limbs and head off of someone he killed before taking them to the bedroom for a lot of squatting action. Tears were shed that day.

[@thebossman222]

There were 2 friends mainly that I played games with through the school years, one was on his megadrive playing Toy Story which was absurdly hard, especially stuck in the claw machine trying to find those aliens, and the Sonic games, and then his PS2 on the GTA games. My other friend was also on the Ps2 games, but different games, Burnout 1 2 & 3 were great fun, and then there was the strange co-op ones like the Conflict Desert Storm games, splitscreen, those were a lot of fun, frequently blown up by enemy tanks.

[@DivinityFallen]

When I was on my year abroad in Canada my house mates and I all played Until Dawn together. We made the choices together by taking the majority vote of what was screamed the loudest. We took turns with the controller and there was still a lot of screaming! 😂😂

[@mrhedgebull1658]

I've always regarded the Hitman games as puzzle games. They're all about how do I get into that next area? Oh, I need a waiters outfit? Where can I find a waiter off by themselves? Right now how do I get my gun past these guards who want to frisk the waiter? Ah, there's a window I can climb through to bypass the guards. And so on. Whenever I've tried to persuade others to play them I've always explained them as puzzle games.

The Witness was great fun, me and the wife played it and had a blast. I remember playing it one evening and the mother-in-law was staying over. This is a woman staunchly against video games. But she got sucked into solving puzzles with us one evening. Such an involving game and doesn't get talked about enough! Thank you Hollie for bringing it up again!

[@castlef129]

Spider-Man 2 on the PS2. My best friend and I used to pay "3 Street crime pass" and try to find the most spectacular way of offing the bad guys. The bonus rule was that if a citizen event popped up in the mean time you had to do that as well. Just something really satisfying about pile-driving a purse snatcher from the top of the Empire State Building while holding a crying child's lost balloon.......

[@laterkater4213]

Dave is completely correct, Hitman is a complex puzzle game with multiple moving parts and interlocking layers. That’s why I love it so much!

I love RPG's and I have a friend (who is now on our channel) who didn't like playing them, but loved to watch me play them back in the day, so we used to sit around for hours just bsing and I'd play a Final Fantasy or something while he watched. It's actually one of the reasons we started doing let's plays on our channel, because those times were some of my favourite gaming moments of all time.

The game which I remember playing with my best friend which was a single player RPG which was Enchanted Arms. When things got difficult we would swap player to give a different style of battle or fresh eyes for puzzles. But the story was so enjoyable for us that we both just got engrossed into the game even when not being the actual player.

[@kieranstainer8900]

Me and my friend played uncharted 1,2 and 3 together. He had already played the game so i played the game and he watched me through share play. He would call out all the enemies and help me with all the puzzles. We don't talk as much anymore but its some of the most fun I've ever had gaming.

[@markdiplock3439]

I remember playing Assassins Creed Black Flag with a couple of friends. We'd take turns playing and set up small challenges like hunt a whale in the shortest amount of time, or take a stronghold without being spotted using only stealth kills. I agree, games with friends, online or around your house can make it so much more fun.

Skyrim(job), setting up hunting challenges to simul-play. IE: You, and someone who plays at the same time, set a time limit to kill as many rabbits as possible... Using 30 arrows. Comparing kills. Clearing the same dungeon and comparing loot (and clear time). Seeing how far each can get without being noticed or having a body spotted.

The Fatal Frame series with my brother. We helped each other with puzzles and pointing out which keys unlocked which doors. And screamed...lots of screams. Lol

[@syn710]

My friend and I played the original dmc 3 back when it first came out. We would take a shot everytime one died and would switch who was playing. Needless to say, it was a beautiful train wreck.

[@Lynzilla0525]

My Dad and I used to collaborate on the original text adventures on the old Apple 2 back in the day- Sheesh, almost 40 years ago now-We would trade theories and suggest ridiculous solutions to particular problems. Sometimes we would leave notes for each other if we solved something while playing solo. This continued all through the years and new gaming systems; I could definitely have used his help on The Witness, even though I muddled through on my own(except of the blasted 'secret' final challenge puzzle-last one I need for the platinum!) Anyway, I miss my dad, but treasure those memories so much!

[@phantomspannah9679]

Resi 7, Amnesia: Dark Descent, or Until Dawn. Scary games with a bit of a puzzle element. I love playing these in groups - you can all get scared and enjoy the story together!

i used to play saints row 2 or saints row 4 with my firends, and since i was the only one that owned the game, we couldn't do a co-op campaign. but we decided to just wreak havok in the streets and destroy everything. we would always end up doing this thing where we would drive on the sidewalk and loudly complain about pedestrians walking in our driving space

Any horror game, for sure, we get to b scared and laugh at each other, it eases up the fear and feels good! Also the Souls series games, from Demon Souls to Bloodborne, you just pass the controller over to your friend when you die and you start to root for him and him for you, its amazing!!!

Not necessarily a single player game but you could play it with 1 character and use 2 controllers, that was Smash TV on the Sega Mega Drive. Me and my younger brother would always try and get farther and farther by doing a dual controlled single character. 1 person moves, the other shoots. I think i was the runner but it's been over 20 years now. We used to get so far each time and it was always a blast playing it that way.
