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

Campo Santo's Firewatch is one of easiest games to recommend to people who may not play a lot of games. As a fire lookout named Henry, most of the game boils down to simply walking and navigating dialog options with fellow fire lookout Delilah.

The first thing that makes Firewatch enjoyable with company is first and foremost its incredibly well written and performed story, even if it may not have the most cinematic presentation as a lot of the games on this list.

Second, as a so-called "walking sim," it's perfect for passing the controller around. Sure, there may not be a whole lot in terms of exploration or player agency, but someone who's never touched a video game in their life can pick this up and appreciate its relaxing nature and beautiful art style.

One thing it isn't, is a party game. Firewatch has a lonely atmosphere and emotionally heavy story, one best experienced with a loved one or small group of close friends - anyone you feel comfortable shedding a tear or two around.

You'll be grateful for the emotional support after reaching the tragic twist at the heart of the story.
