Couch co-op thread
Couch co-op thread
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.

+1 for a tentative Overcooked suggestion but only if you think you and your cousin won't strangle each other in a high stress scenario. I can't play the game with my wife because she's too goofy and I'm too serious.
Bread and Fred looks like a lot of fun but I haven't actually played it yet.
Diablo 3 was fun playing couch co-op and reminded me more than a little bit of playing Gauntlet in the good old days.
Bread and Fred looks great but my wife and I turned it off after half hour. The mechanics are proper hardcore physics sim with very little room for error or hand holding. It honestly just wasn't fun for us. I think there's a demo available so maybe try that before you spend money on it.
Honestly overcooked was stressful but manageable. The only time I wanted to strangle a friend (through my monitor) was in one of the "we were here" games because it was impossible to solve anything with him.
Edit: Oh I saw bread and fred on a stream a while ago (Jerma), forgot about that one. I think chained together was very much inspired by it.
