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?

Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light is really nice coop

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.

This is how divorces happen. Magicka is an amazing "why the hell did you do that" co-op game. Will test the mettle of your relationship as soon as you realize how easy it is to nuke your partner with an opposing spell.

Screencheet. It's the only fair combative experience.

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

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

Spelunky 2 is fun

Rocket league is a great split screen game!

[–] Omnimater 3 points 1 year ago

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

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

Not split screen but co-op battleblock theater is fun. Also, my very first post on lemmy!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

β€žHuman Fall Flatβ€œ 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.

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.
