Johann Sebastian Joust is the most fun you can have with a PlayStation 4 right now, but it doesn’t have online multiplayer. It’s the best possible ambassador for a surprising revivalist trend in video games: where friends actually play together in the same environment. JS Joust is part of Sportsfriends, a new compilation that proves multiplayer video games don’t have to be about sitting alone in a dark room with a headset on. In JS Joust, each player is equipped with a motion controller — ideally a PlayStation Move, though regular PS3 or PS4 pads work too — and there is but one rule: don’t move your controller faster than the undulating rhythms of the Bach concertos playing in the background.
