Overcooked is an amazing couch coop

  • Assault Android Cactus
    • Slick arcade-style twin-stick shooter with a pumpin’ soundtrack. Lots of characters with unique playstyles. Local co-op.
  • Crypt of the NecroDancer
    • Bring rhythm to the classic roguelike. There’s local and online co-op and lots of mods.
  • Just Shapes and Beats
    • Rhythm bullet hell with a large EDM soundtrack. Local and online co-op.
  • Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
    • This is a stretch of the “couch” part of couch co-op. One player must defuse a bomb. The other players have a bomb defusal manual and must help the first player without being able to see the screen.
  • Moving Out 2
    • Work together to drag and throw furniture into a truck. Chaotic co-op with physics, local and online.
  • Gauntlet: Slayer Edition
    • 2014 revival of an 80s arcade classic. Co-op dungeon crawling action. Warrior needs food. Badly! Local and online co-op.
  • Pizza Possum
    • Very soft stealth game about stealing and eating lots of food. Local co-op.

Super Smash Bro’s Ultimate is still the premier Couch Co-Op game for my circle of friends. We also play the JackBox party games and occasionally Mario Party.

I genuinely don’t know what options are even available outside of Nintendo’s fence anymore.

Edit: My reading comprehension is in the garbage today. Baldurs Gate 3 and It Takes Two.

I will happily take this opportunity to complain

/startrant that the abandonment of couch co-op is the worst thing to ever happen to gaming. There are some great couch co-op games out there, BUT NOT NEARLY ENOUGH. Seriously, the number of goddamn games that expect you to HAVE TWO COMPUTER AND TWO SCREENS SO YOU CAN PLAY CO-OP WITH SOMEONE ELSE IS TOO DAMN HIGH. /endrant

I highly recommend Broforce, any of the Larian studio games (Divinity Original Sin, Baldur’s Gate 3 etc…), Battleblock Theater, Castle Crashers, Cuphead, For The King, Hypercharge Unboxed, It Takes Two, Portal 2, Overcooked, SpiritFarer, Stardew Valley, Untitled Goose Game, Wobbly Life. Wish there were more.

It is the damndest shame that the Halo Master Chief Collection doesn’t have local co-op, still upsets me to this day.

The issue is that not enough people play couch co-op to justify the effort that goes into making it work. It’s a subset of a subset of gamers that play couch co-op even once, let alone on a regular basis.

I played couch co-op with my kiddo on the master chief collection on my Xbox. The only issue I had was depending on the profile signed in first it sometimes gets the progress save wrong.

Diablo III was fun for my family, as was Minecraft Dungeons even though it’s stagnant and abandoned now.

Broforce is too much fun with friends.

Hammerwatch is a pretty fun top-down pixel dungeon crawler. There are other Hammerwatch games and it’s also on consoles.

The “Lara Croft and the ________” games are a bit older but are fun puzzler dungeon co-op’s. I really liked Temple of Osiris. I think these are also on consoles, but may be older consoles.

Stick Fight is a silly brawler. Also on consoles.

Party Golf is a fun and varied party game. Also on consoles.

It’s older and I may be misremembering, but I think Hoard is co-op. It’s on Steam still and you play as Dragons in a top-down gold hoarding thing. May be on consoles, but older ones. Pretty sure PS Plus Premium streaming has this under PS3 classics.

Hunted The Demons Forge is NOT local co-op on Steam but it is on PS3 and you can do it via PS Plus Premium streaming without a PS3.

Thanks!

On the rare moments that my friends come to my house we play some couch coop, most of the time is brawlhalla, but sometimes we play other games like hot shot racing, horizon chase, trick towers, etc.
