Best Shared-Screen Games

When you are playing together with multiple people on the same platform the game will either divide the screen for each player or get you to share the same screen undivided.

Shared-screen multiplayer has the advantage that everyone sees the same view of the world. It's also a larger view of the game world as the screen is not divided. However, players have to cooperate so as not to get left behind.
