Barbie Project Friendship review

Barbie Project Friendship is the best Barbie game for two players. It released on October 25, 2024, and Steam lists shared and split-screen co-op plus Remote Play Together, which no other game on this list offers. The story has both Barbies working to save the Malibu Waves Community Center from closing. Players restore six spaces, including the Animal Care Center, Campsite and Crafting Studio, and take on tasks in a Pet Salon, Skate Park and Tech Lab. Community points earned along the way pay for outfits and upgrades. The Steam page also lists side activities with Ken, Teresa, Nikki, Daisy and Barbie's sisters. It costs $39.99 on Steam, and the Nintendo US store listed it at $9.99 on a 75% sale when we checked, against a $39.99 regular price. Steam feedback is limited: 78% of 42 user reviews are positive. The PC minimum is 8 GB of RAM and 5 GB of storage.
