10 Best Multiplayer Games (That Aren't Multiplayer Games)

10. Uncharted Series

Naughty Dog's iconic action/adventure series, Uncharted, has set the modern standard for cinematic storytelling in video games. From the massive action set-pieces to the snappy dialogue and stunning environments, Uncharted tops the kinds of blockbuster movies that inspired it.

It's precisely that summer blockbuster aesthetic that makes Uncharted so immediately accessible. Even if someone can't enjoy playing the game themselves, watching it is every bit as entertaining as watching a movie, if not more so.

The platforming and gun play are fast and dynamic by design, ensuring others won't have to sit and watch you turtle behind cover while slowly taking out enemies one at a time. If anything, the actual gameplay sequences outshine the spectacle-laden cutscenes.

The pace remains consistent thanks to the balance of action sequences, puzzles and cutscenes. And the puzzles are especially fun to solve as a group - just challenging enough that the player can appreciate others chiming in, but not so tough as to grind the pacing of the story to a halt.
