Games that make use of two or more monitors? (lemm.ee)

Many gamers have setups with two or monitors. Oftentimes these differ in size, resolution, even aspect ratio. They can be very helpful in productivity tasks, but mid-gameplay they rarely serve as more than displays for external music or chat.

Are there games that utilize this extra space in a unique way and are played better or exclusively with two or more monitors? Preferably something more than just extra FOV

Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours on Steam. Maybe the PS4 variant has some magic for multipule monitors, too but I'm too lazy to look. There may also be other Darius ports that utilize multiple monitors but this is the main one in the series.

It's a horizontal shmup that used large displays in the arcade cabinets, that may have been multiple monitors but my memory is fuzzy.

You can stretch the game across multiple monitors in the game settings to replicate the super wide feel of the arcade game. They even have some "cabinet" connection options in the port that let's you compare your scores and see replays from other players.

while not a novel thing such as extra menus or something, it let's you play the game closer to its original format.
