10 Most Unique Multiplayer Games Of All Time
9. The Souls Series
For years the divide between single-player games and multiplayer games was simple. If you wanted to play a game by yourself, you went through the single-player mode. If you wanted to enjoy the experience with others, you chose multiplayer.
Demon Souls changed all that. Instead of putting a separate multiplayer mode on the menu, the Souls series incorporated its multiplayer options into the game’s story mode. While playing through the campaign, other players could interact with your journey by leaving helpful - or sometimes deceptive - notes as to what lies ahead or by simply invading your world to assist or harm you directly.
The ability for players to invade your game for either malicious or beneficial purposes added a real layer of depth to the already great Souls’ single player games. This idea completely changed the dynamic of multiplayer gaming for the better.
