The best asymmetrical multiplayer games
Asymmetrical multiplayer games have come into their own over the past few years, with titles like Among Us, Dead by Daylight, and Left 4 Dead pulling in legions of players. Instead of giving two teams a similar set of abilities, asymmetrical games are purposefully lopsided — one team might be larger but have less firepower, while the other team might be comprised of a single, powerful player.
It’s a unique concept that’s seen plenty of variation as new developers make their mark on the genre. There are plenty of titles to choose from nowadays, but not all are winners. If you need help deciding what to install next, here are 10 of the best asymmetrical multiplayer games to play in 2024.
Left 4 Dead 2

The single-player component is simply four identical survivors making their way through various maps while countless zombies and special infected descend upon them. Where things get interesting is in the multiplayer, where one team controls said special infected to try and stop the survivors from completing objectives or reaching the end. It’s simple but endlessly replayable fun on both sides despite each team playing completely differently.
