We have selected five top games that you can play with friends in front of the TV. There’s something for everyone!
The majority of games are played on a PC, connecting with friends over the internet to dive deep into fantasy worlds or experience nerve-wracking shooters. But what do you do when your friends are actually at your doorstep and have settled into your home? For exactly this situation, we have picked out the best “party games” that you can play with friends on the couch.
We present to you five games that you can play with your friends on one screen, guaranteed to bring lots of laughs. All featured games are available on Steam for under €20 – hence, the perfect price to quickly gather some money with two or three friends. All you need is an HDMI cable or a Steam Link to stream the games directly to the big TV. Alternatively, some titles are also available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. At least the gamepads from PS4 and Xbox One can also be easily used with Steam.
Stick Fight: The Game
What it’s about: Stick figures are the most harmless drawing, and they can’t do anything to anyone? Wrong! In Stick Fight, each player controls a stick figure fighter and quickly grabs various weapons scattered across the maps. Most maps are destructible and subject to various gravitational objects.
Those who succeed can crush their friends under boxes or simply shoot the ground from beneath their feet.
What makes the game special: Each round lasts only a few seconds, so an early exit isn’t a problem. With many different levels, interesting weapons, and even some (easily understandable) power-ups, boredom doesn’t set in. Fast, frantic, and incredibly funny.
Which groups the game is suitable for: Those who find Super Smash Bros. too complicated and WWE too silly. Also, anyone who has always wanted to push their friends into lava.
Available platforms: PC
