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?

If you and your wife are into D&D-type stuff Divinity Original Sin 2 has local co-op. It’s an isometric turn based adventure game. Super fun to play and on sale for about $18 at the moment, I think. I will say, it’s a little more involved than some of the more casual games like Stardew, but if you’re willing to put in a little time to learn the game it’s one of the most rewarding games I’ve ever played.

My girlfriend and I actually played through the whole thing together!

I wish there was something else that had a similar experience to divinity! That’s my favorite game to play with my wife.
