What’s everyone’s take on the duel/dual/duo versions of games these days?
Personally, if a game already scales well at two players, I don’t really see the point. A lot of the two-player–specific designs also tend to be much more confrontational. Obviously there are exceptions, but historically many of them lean pretty mean.
In my experience, most couples who game together aren’t necessarily looking to bash each other over the head the way two competitive friends might. Sure, there are definitely couples who enjoy that style of play, but I’d say most prefer something a little less cutthroat.
So I’m curious why so many publishers are leaning into two-player-specific versions lately. Is it because more couples are gaming? Is it just easier to market a dedicated two-player product? Or is there something else driving the trend?
