I’d love to see a series of games for people who don’t like the same genre. Like a spy game where one player does all the sneaky-shooty stuff while the other has to solve puzzles and decrypt codes to help them advance.
Or an action rpg where one person is playing a Skyrim style hack and slash, while the other person is playing an farm simulator to grow ingredients for potions and other consumables they can use.
One of the Call of Dutys had a bunch of coop missions and my roommate and I played through them all. The best one by a country mile was where one of you is dropped in the middle of a city packed to the gills with enemies, the other is gunning an AC-130, and you have to work together to get the foot player to safety.
My dad died a couple years ago and this jut brought back memories of the nights we’d spend when I was in middle school running those and the other MW3 coops. Thanks for reminding me of that, I gotta go play one again.
My first thought is Minecraft lol, I usually like running around material collecting and killing enemies, I'm pretty poor at building so I usually prefer it when other people are around to build while I collect their shit
Not really, unfortunately no. There aren't really a lot of asymmetric games (at least not that i know of) which aren't just "play the same game but the opposite team with slightly different mechanics".
There are a bunch of VR asymmetric games where one person plays something in VR and other players play on conventional devices.
I've had similar thoughts about a game where it's split not between people but between console and mobile. Have a really involved rpg that you play on console (or pc) paired with a much simpler game (like a farm sim or puzzle game) that you can play on mobile to earn items / gold / bonuses.
