Selamat Hari Raya!
As the period of Ramadan and fasting is ending soon, many of us are happy to celebrate the upcoming festivities that is Hari Raya. And with that comes the part where your relatives come to visit and make merriment. We’re very sure that a number of you want to huddle up and play games together offline.
Here’s the full list of games (and new additions) with offline co-op/versus options you should prep if you want a gaming old time during the holidays!
Tekken 8
Available On: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series
If your nephews and relatives are more on the competitive side of things, fighting games are the go-to games of choice. Matches go by super fast and everyone can pass the controller around after each bout.
But which fighting game is the best for a party setting? Apart from Super Smash Bros Ultimate, we suggest Tekken 8. It has simple controls, dynamic Heat system mechanics that encourages offensive play (read: button mashing for casual crowd), a colourful cast of characters, and even a “simple input” mode that anyone can switch to on the fly during a match. Plus, Tekken 8 comes with Tekken Ball which is basically volleyball but you use your fists and feet to kick the ball to your opponent’s court for points. With two distinct game modes that’s perfect for a casual crowd, Tekken 8 is worth the current investment for offline Raya fighting fun!
