Some pretty messed up stuff.

Not sure why the Youtube link is in German - the video is in English, and I don't live in Germany.

Many gamers have setups with two or monitors. Oftentimes these differ in size, resolution, even aspect ratio. They can be very helpful in productivity tasks, but mid-gameplay they rarely serve as more than displays for external music or chat.

Are there games that utilize this extra space in a unique way and are played better or exclusively with two or more monitors? Preferably something more than just extra FOV

My partner is interested in learning some of the games I play, so I'm trying to find some introductory games to get her used to the common control schemes.

Off the top of my head, it'd probably have to be games that...

  • Have few inputs beyond the basics
  • Are not difficult or punishing
  • Are approachable mechanically (So as not to overwhelm them when they're focus on learning basic controls)
  • 2D is probably preferable, since its easier to understand and process whats happening at a glance.
  • Multiplayer would probably also be a strong bonus, but also not required

The only game that particularly comes to mind is Portal, but hopefully others will have some better ideas.

I hope it is not a spam according to Your definition. Game is totally free and not commercial. I am not gaining any money from it in any way. Not even ads, patronite, nothing. There is no paid premium content, nothing. I am just newbie creator who wants to share his work and get some feedback.

"Dominion of Darkness” is a free strategy text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots. Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new. Feedback is very much welcome. Very, very much.

Here is the game: https://adeptus7.itch.io/dominion

If you are hesitant to play the game, I invite you to watch/listen to the reviews:
