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.

    There were two isometric Tomb Raider games a couple of years back (Guardian of Light and Temple of Osiris which wasn’t as good IMO). You could play in single player, but the co-op mode tweaked the puzzles slightly so you’d need to work together to complete them. And as luck would have it they’re both on sale. The first is currently a whopping £1.27 on Steam.

    If you fancy going even further back, there was a PS2 game called Kuri Kuri Mix by FromSoft. It may looks like it was made for toddlers, but it was surprisingly tough in places. You almost certainly can’t buy that any more, but I’m sure and emulator and ROM site will do nicely.
