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?

Conflict Desert Storm, fun 4 player coop tactical third person shooter.

[–] ampedwolfman 2 points 1 year ago

This game was hype AF with the boys back in the day.

Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light is really nice coop

Duck Game! The downloadable internet levels are bizarre and creative. It's so much chaotic fun.

Magicka and Magicka 2 are great! Can't recommend them enough. Both are on sale rn for like $2.50

Does Magicka support controllers?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sure does! I actually prefer using a controller.

if you want some chaos; unrailed, overcooked, and plateup are good

„Human Fall Flat“ is pretty good. I’ve played it on switch with a bud and we had a good time. Especially the times we broke the level by sheer accident.

I really like phogs. It isn't quite split-screen, but you can play it together in couch co-op.

Rocket league is a great split screen game!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I love rocket league and just absolutely forget it has local play for years at a time.

Spelunky 2 is fun

The gears of war franchise has the most underrated coop campaigns in my opinion. They're among my favorite games for coop. Also splinter cell: double agent, although a bit dated at this point is still super fun.

KeyWe is the newest one I've played with my wife. It's a game where you both play kiwis operating a relay station that has some quirks of its own.

Other games I would suggest:

  • Overcooked
  • Catastronauts
  • Moving Out
  • Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
  • Helldivers
  • Gauntlet
  • Magicka
  • Age of Wonders III (in hotseat mode)

If you like beat 'em ups:

  • Streets of Rage 4
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
  • Scott Pilgrim vs The World
  • Mother Russia Bleeds

I'm not sure if it has split-screen or split-screen mods but check out Dinkum too.
