My younger cousin comes over today (like every few months) and we will be playing some couch coop games over the weekend.

So far we tried a lot of games and found some great ones along the way. Sidescrollers work sometimes, but third person and isometric is better. And I won't touch another twin stick shooter haha. Do y'all have any suggestions, it's always so much work to find a good new game (as opposed to just going after steam review, buying, and returning within 30min of playtime because it sucked).

Honorable mentions:

  • Swords of Ditto (literally no one plays this, but it's a pretty neat co-op zelda-like
  • Darksiders Genesis (hack n slash)
  • It takes Two (co-op puzzle)
  • Children of Morta (great roguelite)

I also bought Secret of Mana, maybe we'll play this.

Streets of rage games are good fun

What the Golf? is lot of wacky fun. It's not really golf and has like 500 different levels, some wildly creative.

I'm a massive fan of couch co-op, so here's some of my favourites:

Heave Ho: cooperative grabby-hand-based platforming

Moving Out: hectic moving simulator (get the first one, not the second)

Drink more Glurp: chaotic parody of a sports event, with grabby-hand mechanics, and wacky powerups to change things up

Wobbly Life: a kid-friendly open world game with jobs to do, and tons of secrets to find. Kinda like Roblox mixed with GTA. Pretty much endless fun.

Toasterball: it's like tennis, but with toasters.

Puyo Puyo tetris 2: Tetris

Ultimate Chicken Horse: Chaotic party platformer

Boomerangfu: brawler with boomerangs

Speedrunners: competitive high-speed platformer

It takes Two (co-op puzzle)

Unravel 2 is a bit similar co-op puzzle game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Dark pictures is a pretty fun movie like Seires my friends and have have very much enjoyed!

There is also ultimate chicken horse (usually better with more than 2 people)

Castle crashers (Side scroller silly adventure game) Gang beasts is also pretty fun

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Idk if this is your speed, but my kid and wife and I love playing the Lego games that are based on movies - Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Avengers, etc.

Very couchable and can be challenging if you try to get 100% on each level.

Apologies if I misread the ask!

On xbox there’s a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game that’s fun for co-op

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago

I think Stardew Valley has a Co-op mode? I'm not entirely sure
