The Past Within
The Past Within makes communication between two players the heart of a mystery. Each person sees a different perspective, so describing what you can see becomes part of solving the problem. It is the cooperative choice in this planner: the point is to exchange useful observations, not to beat a friend to the answer.
BombSquad offers a collection of physical, competitive mini-games rather than a single extended campaign. Its store presentation emphasises multiplayer mayhem, ragdoll movement and different match formats. That makes it the option here for a group that wants variety in the activity while keeping a lively, competitive mood.
DUAL! uses two nearby devices as the setting for a shared encounter. Its premise makes the relationship between screens part of the activity, rather than hiding the other player behind a remote matchmaking queue. It is the focused two-person choice in this selection, built around looking up and paying attention to a friend as well as a display.
