Local Multiplayer

[A Random Eevee]

Quick question I would like to ask.
What do you all in general think about local multiplayer on PC games?

I started noticing this as a mainly PC gamer after I got a girlfriend and we were trying to find game to play together but most of the games that were multiplayer were online only with no local multiplayer unless you jumped through hoops to do so, even when the game on console included it. Naturally we found games like Magicka, Castle Crashers, and Battleblock Theatre but outside of those titles we really couldn't find any other games that were local co-op. Even games that had local co-op in their console release like Borderlands (1&2) have no option on the PC version. I'm just wondering if I'm alone in wishing more PC games had these options and/ or you all had any suggestions on games I might have missed.

Gang Beasts and Broforce have local multiplayer. I agree that local multiplayer is always a nice option to have which more games could benefit from.

But,it is very simple to do host&play and invite people to your game with a click.

I love local multiplayer for much the same reasons! Sometimes you just want to play with someone in the same room. The Heroes of Might and Magic games have hotseat play, and they're fantastic. The Worms games are fun for it, too. Star Control 2's "Hyper-Melee," which I spent many teenage hours playing with friends, is now available legally and freely via the remake project, so that's another option. But yeah, local co-op PC games are a bit thin on the ground...

Many games that aren't technically "co-op" can become co-op if you set up teams properly. In Worms: Armageddon, for example, you can both be allied, and then have an army of AI worms to fight against together.

I think it's ignorant to leave out local co-op on the PC versions of games when we all damn well know it was included on every console version. (Borderlands 1/2) (Minecraft) (Star Wars Battlefront 2) (Terraria) various other games that I forgot about.

They like to treat people that own PC's like they are some kind of loner that doesn't know anyone to locally play games with them.
