Unravel is pretty damn good and challenging cause you have to work together.
A Way Out is amazing.
Resident E- 5&6
Ghost of Tsushima dlc
Division 2

You could get a musou game if you're down for those, since IIRC most if not all ps4 musous are CO-op/split screen too. Screen is Warriors Orochi 3 ultimate...which cant be done in a day or two lol.
Divinity: Original Sin 2.
It took literal years for a friend to convince me to start it but I'm glad I was won over. It's a big juicy time sink, you can both control two party members and get to mix your builds in a way that really play off each other. There's lots to talk about in game while it moves at a pace that also lets you just chat about whatever, and there's a lot of great writing and a surprising amount of comedy in there (and some slapstick in combat). It's one of the best coop games and I never would've expected it from a massive CRPG.
Edit: I also endorse the EDF5 recommendations, it's such a great coop mood lifter and my favorite game in the series.

Hmm, good question...I know the PS3 Earth Defense Force games were notorious for bad frame rate/slow downs.
I played EDF 4.1 on a PS4 Pro, it played great with rarely any slow downs but since your friend has a base PS4, I don't know if it'll have the same performance.
Back to EDF 5, I think it'll play well on a base PS4 but I'd google around to make sure.
Path of Exile
Remnant From The Ashes
Dark Pictures games
Divinity Original Sin games

I remember EDF 5 running pretty well on a ps4 pro. There's also an option to reduce and completely turn off the screenshake iirc.
A Way Out
Ghost Recon Wildlands or Breakpoint
Streets of Rage 4
Or if you want a goofy competitive game...Golf with your friends is wonderful

Sadly I have a base model. Good news about the screenshake disable option though. That stuff is so bad for my eyes.
You want this.

Oh wow, didn't know this came out on Switch -- my wife and I were playing it on PC back in the day but gaming on PC together felt weird compared to consoles.You want this.

If you both like Resident Evil 4, play 5. I played it with my brother for the first time this year. It is probably my favourite co-op experience ever. It's RE4 but with co-op, at least technically.
P.S. Was a little laggy for me at first, so we both ended up using a wired connection and it was flawless.

I just found out today his next coop game, It Takes Two, is coming in a month. It's a bit expensive (40€ here) but it comes with a free friend pass.

My friends were so disappointed that Age of Calamity and Pirate Warriors 3 didn't have any online co-op. I'll have to explore more Musou games.
Remnant from the Ashes is one of the most fun co-op games that came out last gen. Itd give you hours and hours of gaming.
Borderland 3 is always a safe bet.
Warhammer Vermintide 2 is a Left 4 Dead inspired game with a heavy focus on melee. It's fantastic.
Dying Light is a blast in co-op and one of the best zombie games ever.
Destiny 2 is always a F2P option to try before investing in.

Another one for EDF.
Also don't forget Saints Row 3 Remastered and 4. Both are excellent on PS4 and co-op all the way through. Saints 4 can even LAN.

I wanna say Smite, but if he's not into MMOs, then I don't think he would be too fond of MOBAs. So, I guess Borderlands 3. It's decently fun. Y'all could always play a fighting game. Just let him win if you have to.
Cookie and Cream if we were still in the PS2 era
... We need a new Cookie and Cream but online :(
I was looking for some Co-op games as well so thanks for the suggestions in this thread!

No joke, the best co-op experience I had was with Resident Evil 5.
The other game I would recommend is Helldivers, though I feel that's more like a party game than a co-op game but it's still mad fun.

If you like sports than play fifa, madden, or nhl in co op mode. You can also learn to play duo's on rocket league (free to play). These games are challenging at first but coming up with strategies and executing them successfully vs AI or other online opponents is very rewarding.
I know you're a Nioh fan. Why not Nioh 2, maybe make a new character/build for a coop-oriented playthrough?
Ghost of Tsushima Legends also has a solid coop mode.
Streets of Rage 4 is also good, but I hear the online is bad, and it will probably be beaten quickly.

Remnant From The Ashes, if you like Action RPGs with an emphasis on long-range/guns, is co-op-friendly. You can drop into a friend's game and play it all the way through, even if you die.
The Sniper Elite games, they have very flexible difficulty settings and can be customized to your liking. 2 is a bit basic, but 3 and 4 are great fun with a buddy.
Dying Light is a bit frustrating at first, but tons of fun once you unlock some powers. Works great in coop as well.

I still think the Gears of War series is some of the most fun co-op around, so that would be my suggestion.

PS4 only, neither of us have a gaming PC or an Xbox. And he doesn't have a Switch either.
Ah doh, somehow missed that in the OP, my bad. In that case I would reccomend Diablo 3.

Yup. I tried that. Love Diablo 3, and used to play it all the time with my roommate, but my friend doesn't. Woof.
Ah, that is too bad, me and my friend are actually also having some trouble finding some good local co-op games besides just playing gears and diablo for the bajillionth time. We do like playing single player horror games together where we pass the controller when it gets too intense for either of us, hah.

D3 is like one of those perfect "just play it on autopilot while talking about random shit" games, yeah. It's great for that.
Have you tried Destiny? That to me is quintessential "shoot the shit" game.
Division 2 is also great and requires more coordination which can be more fun.
The last 2 Ghost Recon games are a lot of fun in coop. I beat both with a friend and we both really enjoyed the experience.
I'm actually trying to get a friend to pick Bloodborne back up for some co-op to screw around with the "cummmfpk" dungeon and power level just for the hell of it.
If that's neither of your cup of tea, I also suggest Sackboy like others here. My wife and I have been having a blast with it.
