8 Best PS4 Multiplayer Games You Can Play Offline

5. Towerfall: Ascension

Four people, a quiver of arrows, and simple single-screen arenas that mischievously wraps around all sides of the screen. That's the essence of this highly competitive game, in which you and your friends try to vanquish each other using bow-and-arrows and a veritable assortment of power-ups. It's the little nuances in the gameplay mechanics that make Towerfall special.

You have a limited number of arrows, but can pick them - or other peoples' - arrows up off the ground, and there is a 'dodge' move which you can use to move out of the way of arrows or even pluck them from the air. Arrows also home in ever so slightly on your targets, opening the opportunity for super-long-range skill shots. Anyone can pick up and learn Towerfall within minutes, ensuring that whether you're a newcomer or veteran, games manage to feel relatively balanced.

The element of unpredictability from the wrap-around screen and possibility of death by having someone jump on your head make for some comical and super-stylish moments, all of which can be relived through replays at the end of each round.
