Baldurs Gate 3 couch co op works incredibly well.

BmeBenji , (edited )

A FANTASTIC underground couch co-op game is “Super Space _____” (read: Super Space Blank).

Imagine Asteroids, but everyone is controlling a cannon on the same ship, and the only means of propelling the ship is Newton’s third law. When your cannon hits an asteroid, it turns your color and when the asteroid leaves the game space the points for that asteroid go to the person whose color the asteroid is. If the ship leaves the game area, the game is over. It’s the best example of co-ompetitive I’ve ever seen.

It’s only available on Digipen’s website (link) since it was a student project but it’s magnificent for up to 4 players

XCOM 1 and 2 are significantly more fun when you have two players controlling the team

Overcooked, any version.

Fred & Bread looks amazing though I have not played it. Two penguins who are tied together with a rope have to climb a mountain together using nothing but each other and momentum

They have a demo. Played it with my youngling. It was too much for him.

The game is great - if you like suffering.

The Steam reviews are hilarious.

Yes, my wife and I play Diablo 4 together. During covid we played Mario Party on the switch with a couple of friends who we knew were also taking isolation seriously.

A bit of an acquired taste, but the entire Earth Defence Force series can be played split screen (2P only). The best entry point into the series is EDF 5 (story reboot, QoL tweaks) which is often deeply discounted. Plus its direct sequel EDF 6 just released in the west last month

EDF!! This is one of my favorite series and one I’m very hyped for again due to the new sequel. Definitely recommend it as a fun coop experience with friends, blowing up hordes of giant alien insects, robots, flying saucers and legally-distinct Kaijus.

I am currently playing “It takes two” together with my wife. It looks cute, has a story that is funny and really sad at the same time and the mechanics of the game change frequently. The occasional (optional) Minigames are really fun too!

AGreenPurple ,

Totally agree. Just finished it. My SO and I had a blast playing it - highly recommended!

My sibling plays Ultimate Chicken Horse way too much for their health. I’m a fan of Duck Game, Castle Crashers, and Enter the Gungeon. I’ve also licked up Heave Ho and Pico Park, however those are more for party games for like 4 people or more.

I do play couch co-op, though some games are multiplayer some are single player and we hand it off or just experience it together.

Some of the games are: Mario party, Mario kart double dash (truly random items mod), Project Melee, Paper Mario thousand year door (amazing game), Kirby and the amazing mirror, and then a lot of one-offs mostly just trying out the random games.

Some I didn’t see mentioned:

  • Death Squared
  • Rocket League
  • various Switch games - Super Mario 3D World, Kirby (2P), etc

I find a lot of AAA games don't really do couch coop these days which is disappointing.

One game I always come back to (and it's ancient and Free to Play) is Awesomenauts. It's a cartoon sidescrolling hero shooter type thing, but it's a lot of fun.
