  • 1.  Recommended Tournament-Style Games for the PS5

    Posted Jul 28, 2023 07:39 AM

    Good morning from Miami, and apologies if this question has been asked and answered recently, but my library plans to culminate our International Games Week celebration with two video game tournaments running concurrently. One featuring the Switch (Smash Bros.) and another with a PS5.

     

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a recent PS5 game that would work tournament-style for around 20 (at least) kids and teens? We only have three hours, so NBA 2K, Madden, and FIFA are out. Obviously, it would have to have a local co-op option. Thanks in advance for any help y'all are able to provide.

     

    Thank you for everything you do,

    Shaunterria

    Boomerang Fu is my top pick! It's cute, kind of challenging, and gets you juuuust the right amount of competitive without getting angry. Because how can you get angry at a watermelon whacking you with a boomerang?
