What are your favorite split-screen co-op PC games? (sh.itjust.works)

My wife and I like to play games together, but PC devs often skip couch co-op options. For example, I bought Halo Master Chief Collection because I know Halo co-op is legendary and I never really played Halo growing up, nor did she. But the PC version specifically doesn't have split screen co-op where the console version does.

We already own and play Stardew Valley, Outward (fantastic game if you aren't aware), and Civ 5 (we prefer it over 6).

So what other options have you enjoyed that I may have missed?

LEGO games are fantastic

It Takes Two and A Way Out are co-op masterpieces

We've played a couple of the Lego games and found it a little too kiddish simplistic.

I'll check out the other two thanks

I'll second A Way Out, then. It's pretty simple, but very well done

Agree with the latter, the former can be slow and I don't like how so many stages are so so heavily filled with 'bring X character with y colored power back here eventually' spots

Played through It Takes Two with my 13 year old daughter and it remains one of our favourite days. So much fun and the story is just brilliant.
