## SPORTSFRIENDS ([PS4, PS3, PC, MAC, LINUX](http://sportsfriendsgame.com/buy/?ref=killscreen.com))

### BY DIE GUTE FABRIK

The New Wave of Local Multiplayer is upon us, and *Sportsfriends* is offering a bumper crop of couch-bound competition. With four—four!—games, including *Johann Sebastian Joust*, *BaraBariBall*, *Super Pole Riders*, and *Hokra*, this is basically a party in a box. If you’re the type of person who has friends that live nearby and play videogames, this is what you’ll want to pop in between rounds of *Towerfall*.

**Perfect for**: 24-hour party people, parents who are tired of Lego games, anyone who needs to break in a new couch

**Playtime**: Until you kick people out or get kicked out

## HEIANKYO PARAMETERS ([PC](http://www.nekogames.jp/g.html?gid=PRM2&ref=killscreen.com))

### BY NEKOGAMES

*Heiankyo Parameters* takes the idea of an RPG, abstracts it into a graphically minimal interface, and gives the player a sense of being a puppetmaster at a switchboard rather than a “hero for the ages.” *Parameters* improves upon the previous *Heiankyo* by throwing city building into the mix, but the game’s previous allure—that is, its surprisingly compelling mix of strategy and grinding—remains intact.

**Perfect for**: People who want more Candy Box but less waiting, fans of stats, those harboring animosity towards yellow boxes

**Playtime**: A little more than an hour.

## MARIO GOLF: WORLD TOUR ([3DS](http://mariogolf.nintendo.com/buy-now/?ref=killscreen.com))

### BY CAMELOT SOFTWARE PLANNING

Golf is a pretty tough sport. While people don’t try to tackle you to the ground it’s still pretty hard to hit a little ball a couple hundred yards while fighting the wind, obstacles, and your own nerves. One of the great things about *Mario Golf: World Tour* is that it condenses that satisfaction down into a few button presses. Also great: all that Mario sports goofiness.

**Perfect for**: Mario enthusiasts, golf enthusiasts who don’t mind Piranha Plants, *Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14* ex-pats

**Playtime**: Hours alone, much longer with others.
