Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck)
Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck)
My SO and I have been having a lot of fun playing co-op games on the Steam Deck connected to the TV. We recently finished Split Fiction and I'm looking for the next cool experience to try out. We enjoy casual co-op games, nothing too hard or violent. EDIT: pixel art is apparently a big turnoff for her so that's out as well.
Games We Enjoyed:
- Split Fiction
- It takes two
- Untitled Goose Game
Games that flopped:
- Stardew Valley - She is open to "farming" games but doesn't enjoy the energy management aspect of the game. It also gave her motion sickness, somehow
- Overcooked / Moving out - We enjoy these games but as they start to get more chaotic and hard, the enjoyment goes way down
- Ibb & Obb - A bit dull and samey
- Portal - Gives me serious motion sickness, completely unplayable
- Lego Lord of the Rings - I'm a lord of the rings fan but I hated the gameplay for this game, I found it to be so boring. We quit after an hour or so.
You're viewing a single thread.
- A Hat in Time
- Trine
- Spiritfarer
- The lego games
- Knights and bikes
- Human fall flat
- Cassette beasts
- Chariot
- Octodad
- Monaco
I don't remember these being particularly violent but maybe are worth a look:
- Pit people
- BattleBlock Theater
I also liked Moon Hunters and Children of Morta but those are harder.
Divinity Original Sin 1 is also good but definitely falls into the violent category. Its kind of goofy too so it could be worth considering. The second game + BG3 are significantly more violent and serious so are harder to recommend with that criteria.
Edit: hmm it seems the formatting is funky in Voyager, should be fixed now
Dude, Octodad in the random arm-leg mode is so fucking funny. My wife and I had so much fun with that game. Too bad the game is so short!
+1 for the LEGO games. Sort of my go to sleeper pick for surprisingly good games. The humor is good, gameplay is decent though I have to go on big breaks between playing through one because gameplay game to game can be a bit samey.
Trine
I do own the first 2, I totally forget about this game. Definitely gonna give it a try.
Spiritfarer
I already played and loved SpiritFarer, it was an amazing journey. I don’t want to say too much but I just can’t repeat it any time soon.
The lego games
I forgot to mention in the original post that we did play the lord of the rings lego game and I really hated it. I found the gameplay so boring...
Knights And Bikes
This one looks intriguing, I'll check it out!
Monaco
I do own Monaco, maybe i'll give it a try!
Thanks!
I'll add a +1 to Battleblock Theater! Such a well done game that can be true co-op or "co-op with shenanigans" if that's more your vibe. The story is entertaining and lighthearted and the levels introduce new mechanics throughout.
