    I was going to say couch co-op or couch multiplayer in general, but I guess with Hazelight’s A Way Out/ It Takes Two/Split Fiction the genre has a standard bearer keeping it alive. Could still use more attention though, in my opinion.

    For setting, it always amazes me that there is such a dearth of games about mesoamerican cultures. There is such a rich mythology and history to tap into, and yet we barely have any games. We’re finally getting an Aztec Assassins Creed after 20 years of the franchise, but give me more. Give me a character action game in the Mayan jungles, give me an introspective journey along the Andean Inca roads above expansive vistas. There’s so much potential.

    Genre wise what comes to mind first is stealth games, which seem to be very out of fashion. I’ve been pleading into the void for a new Splinter Cell for seemingly eons by now. Or maybe dream bigger and a Nightdive style Thief 2 remake?

      I would love to see more Mesoamerican games! Never considered it before but there are so many possibilities!
