What to Look for in a Two-Player PS4 Game
Rating - Before you buy a video game, check the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rating, which can help you pick something age-appropriate. The ratings have three parts: rating categories (“E” for everyone, “E10+” for ages 10 and up, “T” for teens, “M” for mature 17+, and “A” for adults only); content descriptors (comic mischief, mild language, etc.); and interactive elements (in-game purchases, users interact, shares location, unrestricted internet, etc.).
Gameplay - Gameplay defines how players interact with the game and its challenges. In asymmetric video games, for instance, you and a friend inhabit the same environment at the same time. Linear games have a series of challenges that must be completed in a certain order, and nonlinear games allow for more creative playing. In cooperative gameplay, the two of you work together, while competitive gameplay pits you against each other. Gameplay is a matter of personal preference, but it will largely impact your gaming experience.

Graphics - While gameplay dictates how the game is played, graphics and sound effects are a whole other element. You can opt for a game with realistic characters and environments with feedback sounds or go the animated cartoon route. The choice is yours!
