I don’t play a huge amount of video games, but I have to really recommend this one. Ravenswatch is a rogue-like game with 9 different characters you can play (currently) with up to 4 people. It’s highly social and engaging.
Each of the characters plays very differently from the others and during each run with your group (and you can solo run), you can build different talents and objects to have a different flavor of play for your own character and it affects the other characters in the group as well.
It’s a really well-balanced and thoughtful design and it continues to hold the attention of my little gaming group week after week. We try out the different combinations of characters and give each other advice about how to best play as we figure out which things work.
The game scales with the number of players as well as through the various chapters of a run. It’s hard, but the right amount hard, seemingly all the way along.
It’s remarkably fun.
