What great local multiplayer games are on sale right now? Online is fine, but nothing is better than cracking open some cold ones and getting in front of the big screen together. Here are some of my favorites.

Towerfall Ascension - $3 USD with DLC - Local multiplayer archery game made by the creator of Celeste. Celeste uses the same sort of movement as Towerfall so there’s dashes, dash cancels, and snappy jumps just like you’d expect. This is my most played game of all time. The DLC is basically mandatory, as it gives you access to the Steam Workshop for user made levels.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - $18 USD - Has to be the GOAT split screen RPG. Local split screen, and the screen merges when you’re near each other. Each of you can take one companion and it’s like a small MMO. Play your own game or play together. My partner and I have put in dozens of hours and we have maybe 100 hours still left if imagine.

Moving Out - $6.24 USD - All the moving day frustration of “bring your end towards me, no the other way” without actually having to provide a pizza as payment. My group of friends got about three hours out of this before we stopped really loving it, but that works out to $0.50/hour/person at this price, and we might even crack it open again another day.
