Marooners

I am a big fan of couch games, I have two kids and a husband so having anything 4-player we can all play together in the same room is great. First, you pick your character, a little girl, pirate, scuba diver? Then what color do you want to be? Don't forget to pick the best weapon. Like the T-rex bone, caveman's club, shaman staff, and much more. There are a few modes to play from, but it took a while to understand some of them. There is a party, arena, or any in offline mode. (I honestly didn't play the online mode since we played 4 players) Now what it does is hop between each mini-game, it will start off by telling you what to do for that level, but then it will quickly start. If you are in chaos mode it will randomly change in the middle of the game without finishing to another game. You can also choose to finish each game before switching to a new one. You could end up running from a giant bolder trying to smash you one moment to, trying not to get squished b

Horizon Chase Turbo

Horizon Chase Turbo is a game you can sit down and play with your friends for hours. It goes up to 4 players split screen, (I know couch games are so hard to find anymore) which you can progress with each other through the campaign. Each point each race for the place you are in, if you collected all the coins on the track, and how much gas you have left. Yes, I did say how much gas you have left. Going through the course you can collect coins, collect more nos boost, and collect gas cans. Make sure you keep track of your gas usage, and how many boosts you have left. The controls aren't bad but I do have to say the colors are very vibrant and after a while, you may need to take a break from them. Going from bright daytime to dark nighttime in some of the races is the worst. The levels are very fast going. As you progress you can unlock more cars, and even upgrade your cars. Make sure you choose your upgrades to help how you play. (I didn't see any gas ones till the third

Heavy Rain

So recently my brother's ex left her PlayStation 4 at my house. She's like let me know if there's any games you want to play so I'm like cool I'll see what you have. What she had was like no space, so I bought an external to go with it. And download all the games that she owned. Which took forever for just 18 games, like why does downloading games suck so much. Anyway, one of the games I tried out was called Heavy Rain, I never heard of it before so it was pretty much just me randomly playing everything since I haven't had a PlayStation since PS2. It was like a pick your ending, your choices matter type of game. So you move around four characters and their parts of the story. I will say the beginning  hour is a little drawn out, but the story draws you in. Other than that, you should know I don't mind graphics, what I care about is story. gameplay, and the controls. More or less the controls more than anything. In this game the controls are weird. F

The Freddy Game

Here we go back to 30 years for this one. It somehow still had all the pieces too. But old slapstick horror A Nightmare on Elm Street with the man himself Freddy Krueger as the star. Here we can see the layout of the board and the pieces. Each person gets a player. Each person has their own fear. Mom is afraid of rodents, and the mailman is afraid of lightning. Now everyone has a hand of cards, four white cards and four black cards. Among the black ones is a you are Freddy card. (make sure to keep it a secret you are Freddy until you have the upper hand) Now the point of the game is to either kill Freddy or Freddy kill each player. On your first turn, you roll the dice to progress, while on your second turn, you have the option of rolling OR telling a story with the cards in your hand. If you have a hallway card you can move to a different room using room cards. A story could be like, "I heard moan ing in the cellar , so I walked down the hallway with my crowbar . but
