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.
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
