10 Most Unique Multiplayer Games Of All Time
1. The Ship
A common element among many of the unique games on this list is that they gave gamers a multiplayer experience that they were not expecting. The Ship is a little different. It gave us a multiplayer experience that we’ve always wanted, but were unsure if a game could properly pull off.
The Ship places you and a group of fellow online players onto a cruise ship. Each player is assigned another player to assassinate and are also a target for another player. What complicates the situation is that you don’t know who is trying to kill you and that kills can only be completed in certain areas as to not get caught. Additionally, you must account for certain needs like your hunger and hygiene while playing.
While the Assasin’s Creed series would eventually streamline The Ship’s multiplayer mode, this game deserves credit for introducing the idea of a multiplayer assassination game. Tense, intelligent and often times just plain chaotic, The Ship combines all the things we love about multiplayer gaming and wraps them in a new package.
