Hello! I’ve come here to ask you lovely people from Lemmy if you guys know of some fun local coop games for at least 2 player.
I have a friend that usually comes over on the weekends and we like to play some coop games, unfortunately we mostly play Single player games, so we don’t really know many coop games.
We’ve had a blast playing through Cuphead, It Takes Two and Portal 2 so far! So any recommendations are welcome.
Thanks in advance for any replies, have a nice day :D
You guys will have a blast playing ninja turtles together.

That game is a lot of fun. The play feels very different comparing 1-2 players (strategizing, skillful combat) and 5-6 players (a full out mayhem and frenzy).
If you liked “It takes two”, you should absolutely play “A way out”!
It’s from the same developer and has a similar emphasis on co-op.

Just heads up the ‘review score’ is trash. Not enough users review, so it’s easy for people to review bomb because they personally have a grudge or something.
How has this thread been up for half a damn day and no one has mentioned the Borderlands series (Smoogy@kbin.social at least mentioned Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, but that was just a Borderlands 2 DLC which got re-released as a standalone.)
My wife and I put tons of hours into most of the the Borderlands series. I recommend playing them in release order.

Borderlands is a fun shoot n’loot that’s got a loose plot, but it’s not terribly deep. It’s like a sci-fi road warrior feel. It’s a fun co-op game with plenty of DLC and replay value. My personal favorite.

Borderlands 2 is all the fun of the first but they went all in on the writing and voice acting as well. It’s tons of fun. Arguably the best of the series in every aspect. It’s also tons of fun in couch co-op.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is the third game but canonically it’s the second. It’s the same concept but with new anti-gravity mechanics and lasers. It’s like Mad Max on the moon. I believe this started life as a DLC for BL2 before Gearbox decided to turn it into a fully fledged standalone game.

Borderlands 3: It was a fun game with some really great level design, but the writing seemed forced. Worth a playthrough to see where they take the storyline.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands - Borderlands meets DnD. A spin-off of the aforementioned Assault on Dragon Keep DLC. The game itself is a lot of fun, but it’s a miserable split screen co-op experience thanks to the terrible menu and inventory management system.
