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.

      It sure does. It’s quite different to other games suggested in this thread, but if it’s the kind of game OP is wanting to try then it’s very good as a couch coop game (on PC, not sure if supported on other platforms). Though I get the feeling OP is looking for action or round based, rather than a quiet tending of a farm and exploring the local area.
