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.
Dont starve together
Vampire survivor
Castle crashers
And if you are into emulation most of ps2 era and before is designed for couch co op so hit the archives (top x lists on you tube makes it easy), depending on your cousins tastes
Cats Quest 2
Pretty cute game and if one person is significantly better at games, they can carry the team pretty well.
There’s a game by Devolver Digital called Heave Ho which is pretty fun. And has a free demo.
Niddhog is so freaking good!
I see lots of excellent responses, but one of my favorite games is never mentioned, so I’ll mention it here, it’s Out of Space it’s essentially overcooked but calmer.
