Color Breakers
Color Breakers is a cute and fun co-op game that feels like a mix between Overcooked and Splatoon. The best moments are definitely when you play 4 player couch co-op and you can see the chaos of trying to coordinate and complete a level with your friends.
The different levels add a lot of variety and randomness to the game, which leads to some very funny moments. In one level you might be dodging cars in the middle of the highway while trying to complete a painting and in another level you are running away from lions that are trying to eat you.

Marooners
Marooners is a great little party game that you can play with up to 6 players, You can mix local and online players. It is very chaotic because minigames just pauze and change often. It is a blast.
The goal of the game is always collecting coins, A coin is worth 1, A Emerald is worth 5 and a Diamond is worth 10. You can hit other players which disables them for a few seconds. You play trough the minigames and the player with the most coins at the end wins. It is not an easy task, Most of the minigames are very challenging especially with 6 players.

Neighborhorde
I LOVE this game, it has a great artstyle, awesome weapons and enemies, and is it has an amazing replayability value.
I originally bought this game because my friend and I were bored and needed something to do, not knowing what I had gotten myself into. The game starts you out looking at a group of animals sitting on a couch together, but as soon as you get into the game you think to yourself, “Huh, this game looks pretty empty.” Then, five rounds later your like, “This game is too easy, give me a challenge.” and then the next round you are just killing some robots and then BAM you get kidnapped by a demon snowman that takes you into a corner and repeatedly beats the everliving shiz out of you. I have only played the game a little while now but holy crap this game is entertaining as heck and I still don’t understand why it isn’t more popular. Overall, I give it a 9/10, the only thing they could’ve done to make it better is to add some more gamemodes.

I stumbled across this game late one evening. I threw it on my wishlist and waited for it to release. I saw it came out a few days ago and decided “what the heck”. Man, am I glad I did. I absolutely adore Neighborhorde. I have to say, the looks, design, and overall aesthetic is fantastic. The cheery fun visuals and the 90’s toybox theme is wonderful. For 4.99 there is tons of content/replayability. Unlockable “hats” and levels as well as the “roguelike” in-run upgrade system have made it a staple already with my roomates. After we had played it for around an hour we already had the theme stuck in our heads. the controls are super tight too! I purposely go out of my way to buy couch coop games. I have a cooler master scout 2 case with a gtx 1070 that is perfect to take to parties. I have 4 wireless xbox one controllers and 4 wireless 360s. Steam couch coop games are always hits. For 4.99 this game is a total steal and totally worthy of being in my collection.

Can’t Drive This
You have a friendship that needs to put on a test?
This is your tool, and you’ll even end up having a ton of fun!
“Can’t Drive This” is a party-game to give you and your friends a lot of reasons to yell at each other and a reason for that making-it-all-up-again-cold-beverage afterwards.
The objective is simple: One builds a neat driving track, while the other has to drive it (yes, WHILE it is being built) and the driver must (in all Speed-ish style) not drop below a certain speed.
But that’d be way too simple, there is un-simplifying obstacles like windmills you can crash into, trapdoors you can fall down in, pinball bumpers that almost literally bump’n’kick you out of the screen, and many, many more the driver will hate the builder for placing right in front of them.

Let’s be honest, you look at this game and what do you think? Probably something like: hey, that looks cute, probably fun for a couple of hours but not really something I’d buy.
This game is by no means perfect, but it is AWESOME. When I think of things to compare it to, I think games like Super Smash Bros. or the classic Pole Position. It’s just the most hype inducing, focus requiring, shout inspiring, frustrating game ever. It looks easy enough, “oh, I’ll just drive slow.” Nope. “I’ll just go straight.” You’re funny. “How bout I just throw away this piece.” Good luck with that.

Nominal
This is a neat game! The style of the ship and the ship manual are super flavorful and I had fun messing around with it. The one problem is that it’s a bit repetitive: most of the hazards you can see are handled in very similar ways and it feels like once you’ve played it for a few hours you could start to memorize most of the steps. Definitely once your Mission Control has gotten a feel for how to navigate the manual the missions become pretty easy.
That said, the aesthetic is great and if it interests you I definitely recommend it. Just know that you won’t be getting too much playtime out of it unless you regularly invite new players to be in charge of Mission Control. I’d love to see the game expanded in some way with either dual hazards or more variation in how you solve problems, but it’s a fun package as it is and I plan to keep showing it to friends.

As someone that has played a lot of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, and ALSO someone that loves all the movies/series about various NASA space programs, this game seemed right up my alley.
So my friends and I got into character and decided that we didn’t need to preview the manual, we just jumped in. Then we died, and died, and died again. Since it’s the first day the game came out, we couldn’t even look to search engines for help guides. Eventually, though, we read the manual correctly and things improved. (And by ‘we’ I mean my friend did. I’m still very confused.) – Hint, page 57 is a good page.

Dwarven Brawl Bros
Dwarven Brawl Bros is a ridiculously fun local multiplayer party game that will keep you and all your friends entertained for every second that you’re playing.
My usual Player 2 had appendicitis so we were looking for something to play that we could use controllers and play on the TV and we decided to give DBB a try; best choice I’ve made this week.
Dwarven Brawl Bros is a retro style take on party brawl games and is one of the best I’ve played.
I spent a lot of time on Towerfall Ascension on my Ouya and loved it a lot, and there are many games out there like that but none of them really feel that great in comparison. DBB does.

Introduction
Published and developed by Dwarves Might Fly, Dwarven Brawl is a local multiplayer party game that is really fun to play with (if you have any real life friends and not internet friends that is). With local 2 to 6 player 2D fighting Super Smash bros, retro kinda feel to the game.
Gamepaly
Dwarven Brawl is a addictive and very fun local mutliplayer game. There are loads of game modes so there is a nice variety of gamemodes, with some options that can make the game different everytime that you play it. To me this has a slight feel of the way that the Super smash bros. which isn’t a bad thing, but is a nice way to set up your game like that. There is also a nice variety of weapons and stages that will be randomly selected as you complete each round of the game. The way that the game starts is that you start with no weapons, using only your bare hands, there are so many weapons that are thrown into the stage for you to pick up and switch through if you want. There is a nice special attack mechanic that will be charged up, every weapon that is on this game has it’s own special attack. With such a veruety of stages and weapons that you can aquire, you will play this game for hours having fun playing with your friends on this game. There is a nice ending screen on the end of each round, which shows you how much damage has been dealt and the damage you have taken as well. The only draw back that I have with this game is that it’s Local Mutliplayer, Most gamers don’t normally have friends round to play games, they use dedicated servers on the games or use their own servers to host multiplayer. Local means that there is no alternative and this might bring down the game slightly and limit the amount of people who

Ruckus Ridge VR Party
Oculus Rift + Touch
I’ve played this game fairly extensively, but I only recently purchased it for myself (so I don’t have a lot of playtime logged on my account).
This is a really fun game. Whatever else you want to say about it, it’s a great party game. And for a system that doesn’t have a lot of fun local multiplayer games, I’m very pleased with it. Ruckus Ridge is a great way to show people VR and it allows you to take advantage of the 2 levels of technology. Everyone gets to take a turn in the headset and try different challenges.

When I originaly bought Ruckus Ridge I didn’t think I was going to enjoy it that much, I simply wanted a game that would work with a group of friends that were coming over. Ruckus Ridge proved me wrong and ended up being a much better experience that I had anticipated. My friends and I played for 2 hours straight, the whole time laughing our asses off.
Each level has it’s own twist to it with the objective, but basically having the controller-players pit against each other to complete an objective all while trying to avoid being killed by the one on the Vive. After each level, the Vive get’s passed to a randomly selected controller player and the two switch.
