The unlikely online multiplayer game to play and goof off with friends with

in #videogames7 years ago

Think of those classic LAN party feels of laughter and silliness with some friendly competitive spirit thrown in and you have what is known in the video game world as Local multiplayer games. Take that gameplay and feel and put it online, and you have a niche part of the online gaming ecosystem. Not many games aim to fulfill that niche, which is a shame. Some games that do it well range from Civilization, to broforce, to rocket league. The problem with these games is that you always have that one friend who does not want to pay for it, and thus you have to find a different game that you all aready own. What If I told you that there is a fantastic free to play game, with no lootboxes, hardly any BS, that you can play with your friends right now online; and it's in your browser?

Hear me out on this one, but GeoGuessr fulfills this need perfectly.

GeoGuessr allows you to send a link to people so that you can challenge them to different map packs, with custom time limits, to go around in google earth and try and guess where you are. It is strangely addicting and competative, and different people have different strengths depending on the type of maps you selected. It is fun, free, fast, and can host a crazy number of players at once.

If you haven't coonsidered trying to organize a geoguessr night instead of CIV or overwatch or whatever you normally play, give it some thought; it doesn't hurt to try.
