I'm looking forward to play again (been a long time...) with my best friend during the Christmas holidays at least one game:
Port Royal. Fully analog and offline. No power source needed, just a table, two or more chairs and brain.exe.
Oh and beer, of course! Hahaha!

And "why" you ask? Because it's a well balanced and not very complex card game, and you can play easily many rounds per session without getting bored or needing too much time for one play through.

Did I win? No? I don't care. :)

well, i would really really really be able to play again the classic dyna blaster with my friends. So much fun game and also so simple, i really loved it when i was a kid and would be magical to be able to play it again here.

I looking foward to play Divinity Original Sin, it's a game I have it for quite some time and it's really fun, never completed because I always wanted to completed with a friend, the problem, as with any tabletop rpg sesions, is coordinate a reunion to play it on split screen, as every co op game should be played, it was this way at the beggining and must be this way till the end!
Game has an interesting strategic turn base game with a reactive dynamic combat, you can interact through dialogs with you friends and that is super interesting, very recommended for anyone who want to spend time with your fellows.

Warning: Friends not included with the game.

I actually look forward to playing more Sea of Thieves, Marvel's Avengers, and Halo:Infinite with my 15 year old son and his school friends. I have never liked online gaming since I was gaming before the Internet was a commercial product. I recently decided to give it a try, and it is a remarkably refreshing experience to be able to share something with your children that is also a big part of your own life.

He'll be all grown up soon enough, and hopefully online multiplayer will be a way we can always stay connected and share some very wonderful memories.

I have saved up some vacation and I hope to get time for some Settlers of Catan with my family. I know I'll be playing Quake 3 with my kiddos, as well as Terraria and Portal Knights. I might even get in a game or two of Euchre with my wife and my folks.

Whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope you get time with those you love. Stay safe, laugh together, and game on!

I'm one of those who grew up with Streets of Rage, so it's one of the games I am always looking forward playing with someone. And I guess I like the irony that beating virtual crooks tightens real life friendships.

To all of you who read this post, I hope you have great holidays and enjoy your time with some good company. Cheers!

Star Ocean 6, I look forward to seeing how me and my friend will react to it.

Stardew Valley. I keep wanting to start a game with me and my wife. But this has been a year rife with health issues (not COVID thankfully!), so it keeps getting put off or forgotten. The holiday period might just be the time for it!

i plan on playing a game of Cuphead with my family and friends just to watch them rage and suck at a cartoon game that's kicking their ass for the heck of it!

Stardew Valley, most likely!

It Takes Two
In past, I had few opportunities to play video games with friends. So I would like to choose the best and dynamic co-op game.
Though It Takes Two only allows 2 players, it is easier to arrange the schedule of others.

Been looking at Grim Dawn for a while to get my old friend back into co-op gaming to relive those old Diablo 2 sessions we had back in uni.

Nothing better than experiencing a game with a good mate.

Yes, you're right - I wanna play Hunted: The Demon's Forge with my friend through Hamachi. Why? Just because it's a fantasy game and it promising a good time spent in an interesting journey. That's the reason. Is this what you wanted to hear? You got it. And...?

D:OS of the game on GOG, EVE Online, of the games not on GOG, completely different games and different cooperative experiences, but yes, both.


Now the real answer

I would love to go back in time and be able and play Age of Empires tournaments again on those old 56k modems, with my mate...

K. I will always miss you mate!
