Hello! I’ve come here to ask you lovely people from Lemmy if you guys know of some fun local coop games for at least 2 player.
I have a friend that usually comes over on the weekends and we like to play some coop games, unfortunately we mostly play Single player games, so we don’t really know many coop games.
We’ve had a blast playing through Cuphead, It Takes Two and Portal 2 so far! So any recommendations are welcome.
Thanks in advance for any replies, have a nice day :D
I honestly preferred A Way Out. Way more jank and less polished, but just the perfect mix of humor, drama, sillyness and emotions. And so many epic and memorable scenes.
Heavenltly Bodies is an astronaut simulator. You just have to pull levers and connect things, but with really cluncky and funny phisics which will make you LOL when someone pushes someone else the wrong way and they float into outer space and die.
There’s also a level with a mini spaceship that only has two seats. This level is great with at least 3 people. “Better hold on tight, buddy!”.
How has this thread been up for half a damn day and no one has mentioned the Borderlands series (Smoogy@kbin.social at least mentioned Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, but that was just a Borderlands 2 DLC which got re-released as a standalone.)
My wife and I put tons of hours into most of the the Borderlands series. I recommend playing them in release order.
Borderlands is a fun shoot n’loot that’s got a loose plot, but it’s not terribly deep. It’s like a sci-fi road warrior feel. It’s a fun co-op game with plenty of DLC and replay value. My personal favorite.
Borderlands 2 is all the fun of the first but they went all in on the writing and voice acting as well. It’s tons of fun. Arguably the best of the series in every aspect. It’s also tons of fun in couch co-op.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is the third game but canonically it’s the second. It’s the same concept but with new anti-gravity mechanics and lasers. It’s like Mad Max on the moon. I believe this started life as a DLC for BL2 before Gearbox decided to turn it into a fully fledged standalone game.
Borderlands 3: It was a fun game with some really great level design, but the writing seemed forced. Worth a playthrough to see where they take the storyline.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands - Borderlands meets DnD. A spin-off of the aforementioned Assault on Dragon Keep DLC. The game itself is a lot of fun, but it’s a miserable split screen co-op experience thanks to the terrible menu and inventory management system.
Smash Remix is a mod for Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo 64. Very easy to emulate on basically any device you can plug into your TV. It’s all the fun of Smash Bros with all the weirdness, jank, and accessible hype combos of Smash 64.
If your device can handle it, the port of Sonic The Fighters for PS3 is also very cute and fun. It also has an active netplay community.

Dead Island 2 if you want something new, OP.
Vampire survivors just came out on switch and is a lot of fun in co-op (they also added local co-op to the PC version)
You may like BroForce, a run-and-gun game where you unlock different characters as you go. I had a really good time with coop!
This might be too kid like but the adventure pals is awesome.
If you liked “It takes two”, you should absolutely play “A way out”!
It’s from the same developer and has a similar emphasis on co-op.

Unravel 2 is awesome

I had no idea Borderlands series had a splitscreen co-op mode! I have done online co-op before and it was fun.
i really love stardew valley for a cozy co-op game. for something a little weirder and darker, crawl is a blast.
Darksiders Genesis is a fantastic co-op game.
Hell yeah, you don’t even need to play the singleplyer trilogy first to understand it. My buddy and I have a blast 100% it. So good.

In Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime you have to save the Space Bunnies!
Unraveled 2 is an amazing and beautiful game. If you liked the other games you listed, then you’ll love Unraveled 2.
Surprised to not see Castle Crashers mentioned yet!
If available for your plattform of choice the older “Army of two” titles were quite nice.
