Even though the Steam Deck from Valve was released in 2022, it remains one of the top-tier handheld gaming devices. For those seeking an enhanced mobile gaming experience, there is also the recently introduced Steam Deck OLED model that boasts a smooth 90Hz display.
Although the Steam Deck can handle numerous challenging games, it’s recently been drawing my attention to a more straightforward “Better With A Friend”, which is a compilation of mini-games designed specifically for the Steam Deck.
A Reddit post from the game’s developer shared the inspiration for the collection:
At first, I bought it as a holiday activity for my girlfriend, but now I find myself playing it with many others. The most appealing aspect is the convenience – no need to carry controllers; instead, I can simply take out the Steam Deck for some spontaneous fun at the beach or bar. It’s particularly enjoyable to engage people who aren’t usually gamers, but are open to a brief, fun gaming session (which often turns out to be longer than expected).
In the games offered by Better With A Friend, two players can engage in a competition directly against each other, all without needing separate game controllers. Among the array of games you’ll find are Dots N Boxes, Tic-Tac-Toe, Checkers, Hangman, and Snake.
There are also trivia questions, puzzles to solve, and a flag guessing game.
Engaging with those games brought back memories of my youth. As a child, I’d often play Tic-Tac-Toe or Dots and Boxes when we dined out, especially at restaurants that provided kid-friendly drawing mats on the tables.
In the games, the homemade illustrations give off a lively and entertaining vibe. The feature of local multiplayer in “Better With A Friend” makes it an enjoyable pastime for road trips or casual gatherings.
Currently, the Steam Deck compatibility for “Better With A Friend” is labeled as uncertain. This seems to be because the game doesn’t meet the minimum number of players required to go through the approval process.
In a Reddit post, the game creator shared that they lack the capacity to send the game in for evaluation.
The creator additionally mentions that although this trivia game avoids explicit themes like graphics or sex, it’s primarily designed for adult players. If you’re considering playing with children, I’d recommend sticking to the mini-games instead.
