Video Game - A Way Out
One of the most unique video games I've ever played! This is a narrative driven game that requires two people to play. You are Leo and Vincent, and you're working together to escape prison and go on-the-run from the police. There's not a lot more I can say without going into spoiler territory. It's not a perfect game and there is noticeable jank, but it's extremely charming. If you pick up the game on Origin, only one of you needs to own it to play it without the use of any further software. Player 1 owns the game while player 2 can download a free version of the game and they will be able to join Player 1. If you want to play on Steam, you'll have to rely on Remote Play Together or Parsec to play. Play this with a best friend, you'll grow closer as a result!
The game is currently on Sale on Steam!

Video Game - Legend of Grimrock II
Legend of Grimrock II is a game that completely mastered and improved on nearly every aspect of the first entry. It's also a game that completely got me interested in an entirely new genre. In this game you'll be controlling 1-4 characters, all with unique roles and capabilities. The world is grid-based, and the combat is cooldown-focused. You are increasingly rewarded for exploration and for having a keen eye. There are tons of branching pathways, all serving a purpose. It's one of the most rewarding and satisfying games I've ever played. It's simply fun. Please check this one out.
