If you're of a certain age, split-screen multiplayer is just what you think of when you think of multiplayer. Four controllers plugged into a single console like an excess of noodly limbs and squinting at the one quarter of the TV displaying all five pixels of your play area. If a console game was announced to have multiplayer then it was going to be split-screen.
Unfortunately, we've long since entered the era of online dominated multiplayer. While such a thing isn't inherently bad, the prevalence of services such as Xbox Live and Playstation Plus have all but killed local multiplayer. Even the Halo series, once best known for its couch-based multiplayer shenanigans, scrapped local multiplayer starting in Halo 5. Even though I don't have an excuse to play local multiplayer games as much these days, it's still a change I don't care for.
Do you guys have any fond local memories from back before the dark ages, or do you have any games you currently play that still slip split-screen play somewhere in their pockets? For me it'd be Divinity Original Sin 2. One of my favorite games and with couch co-op to boot.,
