Not sure if it is exactly what you’re looking for but there is a pretty good 2 player co-op game called ‘a way out’ on ps4 (I’m 95% sure it’s on Xbox and PC too) but it’s pretty simple, and not too hard.

It’s about 2 prisoners who attempt an escape, and go on the run. There are a lot of choices to make in the game, with an option provided by each of your characters, but you only have a few seconds to both decide what option to chose, so there is an element of replayability.

It also has small open levels/areas to explore with a bunch of interactions, and little mini games like horseshoe toss, darts, or baseball. There’s even a bit where you find a piano and banjo together, and can button press along and play a song.

The story is great too, won’t spoil anything too heavy, but it’s a story of love and loss, lies and truth, and trust and distrust, not just with each other, but also with their previous lives and families.

Give it a look and see if it’s something he might play, because it might be a decent way for him to branch out into other game styles. Check for it on offer though, as it goes for as little as £5, instead of about £15/20 full price in the UK, so might be similar with the US pricing.

Worst thing for me is, my birthday is Christmas eve, so I had to wait a full year to get any new games. I remember begging my mum to get me WWF Smackdown 2 for ps1 because it was on sale for like £5 in a local store, and being denied, having to wait 6 months til Xmas.

My most vivid memory of purchasing games is when I was about 10. I woke up early a few days after Christmas, to walk into town for 9am, and looking for a new game to buy. No clue what the game was that I wanted, but it was for ps1. The clerk looked at me suspiciously and said something like ‘this game is a 12 rating, how old are you?’

And I said, “I’m 13… do you really think a parent would let their kid who’s under 12, go out this early in the morning by themselves?” And i thought he was gonna deny me the sale, but he just shrugged and sold it to me. I walked home thinking I’d just pulled the heist of the century…

The season before they left, song and van persie had a telekinetic bridge between them. Was a real shame they both wanted out.

And one of the best back ups in Tomiyasu. Man’s a machine, and can play anywhere in the backline.

Imagine falling into a coma when ozil joined, and waking up now, to the news that he didn’t help us win the league, but we just finished 2nd after leading the table for 90% of the year, with a team of youngsters.
