Game News 8 games to do as a couple for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is approaching. The lovers’ party often serves as an opportunity for a small activity as a couple such as a dinner at the local restaurant, a weekend skiing or why not, an evening of video games. With this in mind, here is a selection of ideal games to play for two.
It Takes Two
Obviously, a list of games to do for two would be very empty without It Takes Two, the acclaimed latest creation from Josef Fares (Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, A Way Out). With a scenario as appreciable as a good Pixar to watch with the family, It Takes Two should appeal to the general public. The story is that of Cody and May, a couple on the verge of breaking up, unfortunately transformed into dolls. The duo will have to work together to regain their human form, but also save their relationship. The journey results in a series of varied levels and funny and endearing little moments. The title also benefits from a brilliant rhythm and absolutely delicious dubbing. A real nugget that will make you spend a pleasant moment as a couple. And if you’re at a distance, know that the Friend Pass will allow those who want to buy a copy of the game and invite a friend to play it. And fat, count one copy for two. This game is available in the Game Pass.
A Way Out
Because Josef Fares is a regular in cooperative adventures, A Way Out will also offer you a good duo experience. In this split-screen adventure, the two players embody Leo and Vincent, two prisoners who will meet and cooperate to escape. It is the beginning of a budding friendship between two characters. On the gameplay side, expect many QTE phases like Quantic Dream and some influences borrowed from the Uncharted saga. The game served us a duo of characters a bit caricatural but still endearing. He was also recognized for having good directing ideas and a very convincing last part of the scenario. And if you are at a distance, know that there too, the Friend Pass will allow those who want to buy a copy of the game and invite a friend to play it. This game is available in the Game Pass.
Unravel Two
Direct sequel to the first part, Unravel Two (Coldwood Interactive) offers a rather peaceful experience oscillating between platforms and reflection. The game grants the freedom to embody a second woolen man alongside Yarny, protagonist ofUnravel. The two little characters begin “in a cold land” and cross varied environments full of obstacles to deviate. Together, they can separate, regroup, help each other and solve puzzles rather well thought out. The episode adapts to beginner players and has well-provided aids. He also seduces with his technique and his artistic direction. We will just regret a somewhat redundant adventure following a few hours. An ideal game if you like to rack your brains together. And it’s available in the Game Pass.
Haven
Co-op adventure RPG, Haven lets us follow Yu and Kay, two young lovers who fled their planet to live their forbidden history. Propelled to planet Source, they will have to find resources to repair their damaged ship. The two heroes float and glide through the landscapes like a Journey and thus offer beautiful sliding sensations. And your walks are embellished with rather catchy electronic music. Overall, the experience offers peaceful exploration with relatively low difficulty. Encounters once morest hostile creatures simply require good coordination. The game has a very nice quality of writing and a really pleasant artistic direction. We still retain an adventure that lacks challenge and a bit repetitive.
Until Dawn
If you’d rather have a few scares, Until Dawn is a PS4 classic not to be missed. If the adventure is playable in solo, it lends itself perfectly to an evening of negotiations for two regarding the best choices to borrow. Endowed with beautiful cinematographic ambitions, the game follows like a good slasher with a fairly rich cast. And jumpscare and major twists are naturally there. The setting is planted in an isolated house in the middle of the mountain, where eight childhood friends hope to spend a pleasant vacation. But now they find themselves struggling with a masked killer who is determined to fight it out in the most gory way possible. The fates of Sam, Josh, Mike, Jessica, Matt, Emily, Chris and Ashley rest entirely in your hands. The game benefits from very good replayability, a very affordable system for casual players and a frankly successful tribute to slashers.
Telling Lies
In the category of adventures in FMV, Telling Lies promises great hours of investigation together. This game by Sam Barlow (Her Story) tasks us with searching the cache of secretly recorded video conversations. Placed in front of an anonymous laptop computer very close to MacOs, it is a question of typing search terms to reveal sequences where these words are pronounced. A step-by-step way to understand the story of four enigmatic characters played by Logan Marshall-Green, Alexandra Shipp, Kerry Bishé and Angela Sarafyan. The player is therefore constantly involved in the narration and we salute the excellent performances of the actors such as the immersive interface and the very good staging. In the same genre, you can also turn to Her Story who tasks you with finding out whether or not the woman interrogated in video recordings is guilty of her husband’s disappearance.
Sea of Thieves
For players craving great adventures, Sea of Thieves is the perfect alternative. Whether you want to find treasures, loot boats or simply capture chickens, Rare’s game is full of activities for a great evening for two. Season 5 launched a few months earlier, and while it doesn’t add a major quest, it does come with new mechanics and quality of life improvements that polish the immersion and co-op experience. Last October, the developers proudly announced that 25 million unique players had launched the title since its launch, and that a peak of 4.8 million players had been recorded. Without a doubt, Sea of Thieves is a safe bet that rarely disappoints.
Stardew Valley
If you are looking for someone to help you cultivate the land, plow the fields, harvest your tomatoes, and listen to the gossip of the village, Stardew Valley is surely the best option. In this completely peaceful and multi-player game, your role is to maintain the family farm you have just inherited. Thus, agriculture, animal care and mining will be the main activities that will occupy your daily life. On the other hand, you will have to pay attention to some dangers, including the many monsters that reside on your land as well as Joja Corporation, an organization that will complicate your task. We appreciate the game for its well-written characters, its secrets galore, its mix of genres and above all the myriad of activities it offers.
