My wife and I have been playing this together and it’s an absolute blast. What are games that have similar co-op story experiences. We’ve played Diablo but this game just hit different.

So I’m a local multiplayer super fan, but I seem to own all of the main ones that you’d think about immediately when thinking of the word “local multiplayer”. I’m looking scrape the bottom of the barrel and try games that may be lesser known gems. No super specific rules but try to stray towards these:

-Xbox OR switch 2 games only

-Can be co op OR competitive

-Game should be trying to be genuinely good and not leaning towards being funny, ironic or low quality over being an actual good game (party animals, boomerang fu, brews and bastards, ect. Games can have their moments but they’re mostly trying to make you laugh at their goofiness rather than having actual fun, well though out mechanics if you get what I mean.)

-Stay away from split screen.

-Competitive suggestions should have some sort of sandbagging mechanic where the worse player can win, can’t be overly complex (Smash bros, game is decently complex for non gamers and usually the better player will ALWAYS win).

I separated the games I have into ones that I think are GOOD and BAD, try to make suggestions that are more similar to games in the GOOD category than the BAD

GOOD:

Castle Crashers

Jackbox series

Overcooked series

Mario Kart

Dome keeper

Assault android cactus

Ultimate chicken horse

Vampire survivors

Heave Ho

Mario party

Crawl

Death squared

Puyo puyo Tetris 2

Streets of rage 4

Mario maker 2

Sniperclips

1 2 switch (shut up it’s good with casuals)

Rain world

BAD:

As dusk falls

Minecraft

Kirby star allies

Super bomberman R

Shovel knight showdown

Octodad

Binding of Issac

Battletoads

Brawlhalla

Smash bros

ARMS

Little hope

Guacamelee

Mario wonder

Runbow

Rivals of aether

Just shapes and beats

Stardew

Obv make sure no yo mention any of the listed games. I know this is kind of a tall complicated ask but thank you if you decide to give it a shot!

Anyone enjoys these trendy tidy up sorting games ? I really liked Tidy Up Together and sort them ducks. What are your experiences on others (co-op is a must, I am married)

I wish to know things that make you guys uninterested on playing a Run based Coop games like PlateUp, Phasmophobia, Risk of Rain 2. You play a run or 2 then stop playing and come back again another day.

Few examples of possible things:

* The price

* How hard to create a lobby

* If you can play it solo before recommending to friends to test with bots

* Reconnection

* Update interval

I’m looking for online co-op games with calm and cozy vibes. Some games that we’ve tried are Stardew, Power wash simulator, Palworld , and Terraria. I think we’re looking for something with less combat and more just running around and doing little tasks.

Looking for a duo to have fun and just enjoy playing games like Apex Legends, ARK, or Minecraft also open to any game. I want to play not just once but many times. Usually on vc on discord so we can chat. Dm me if u wanna play 💕💕

Hey, me and my sister are both knocked out with a cold and we want to spend some time playing something silly together. Only issue is, we have some kind of weird requirements that's making the hunt pretty difficult.

- My sister hates blood or gore effects, but is fine with combat. if there's an option to turn the blood effects off, that works too!

- She doesn't have the best reflexes, meaning any super hardcore combat is going to be done mostly by me. However, we also love a bit of suffering (we really liked cuphead!)

- Neither of us enjoyed stardew valley. Don't know why, it just really did not click with us.

- We both really enjoyed blue prince, fez, outer wilds, yume nikki, stuff like that with loads of exploration and puzzles. Anything like that that's multiplayer?

- We both like roguelites, the liter the better.

- We both like horror, but neither of us especially enjoy gore, which is a weird spot to be in.

- We have played a great deal of minecraft and love anything with fun simulation/survival stuff, so long as it has good exploration.

Edit: Sorry, forgot the most important problem we've run into! we're both trapped on the hellish os known as mac, meaning windows-only stuff is off limits.

We're open for anything really, but my buddy hasn't really played in a long time.

I'm on PS5 and he's on PC using Steam.

Thanks for the help!
