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.

Smash Brothers

It takes Two

Portal 2

Mario kart

TMNT: Shredder's Revenge

I'll second Portal 2, and other's mentions of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.

It Takes Two is fun, but if you're paying attention to the story I found it to be a bit preachy about what the writer thinks a good relationship should be.

Smash Bros and Mario Kart are both competitive not co-op.

I play smash with my 7 year old on the same team. We cooperate as teammates to defeat the other team. I'd call that co-op. The same can be done with Mario Kart, but whatever.

Do all couch game names have a slight sexual innuendo?

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

You want to come over tonight and couch co-op?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Mariokart is competitive, not coöp

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not when we're on the same team

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Alright, conceded.
