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

While any of Supermassive's later games in the Dark Pictures Anthology could be included on this list, their spiritual precursor, Until Dawn, still stands out as the best and most accessible of the bunch for group play.

The traditional horror movie setup makes it immediately accessible for anyone at all familiar with the horror classics of the '70s and '80s, meaning it's easy for your non-gaming friends to join the fun. And the inclusion of recognizable film and TV actors makes it even easier to embrace as the "interactive movie" it gets billed as.

But it's not just cut-scenes and dialog trees. The bulk of gameplay consists of gathering clues and exploring your environment, opening up informed discussion for how to progress. Just, maybe, shut up during the quick time events if you aren't on the controls. That'll end a friendship quicker than a blue shell in Mario Kart.

Like any good horror movie, Until Dawn is just more fun to experience with a group. The fact that your choices shape the game's story - including who lives or dies - makes the experience one where everyone can contribute and enjoy seeing the movie unfold.
