10 Most Unique Multiplayer Games Of All Time

6. Journey

Journey PS3
Sony Computer Entertainment

Much like the Souls series, Journey is a game that doesn’t show its multiplayer mode on the main screen. Unlike the Souls series, Journey doesn’t even let first-time players know there is a multiplayer mode at all.

As you progress through Journey, you encounter a companion that you will complete the rest of the game with. What most players don’t know their first time through the game is that this companion is actually another human player that is also making their way through the game’s story.

Given that both players don’t know this and that there is a simplified communication system in the game that doesn’t let you directly talk to each other, Journey does a brilliant job of making players work together without even intending to.

In an age where a generation of gamers are in open revolt over the fall of the single-player game, Journey fooled everyone into enjoying the company of others.
