Where are the couch co-op games!

Full Metal Furies is good (reference to the Greek Furies, deities of vengeance, not furries). Made by the same group as Rogue Legacy. Kind of like Castle Crashers. Good level of difficulty

OP, I'll also mention Towerfall Ascension. Thank me later :)

I had high hopes for diablo 3 but felt it really sucked. Maybe the difficulty was too low? Or maybe we were just too baked lol.

Towerfall Ascension kicked ass and so did Overcooked. Can't wait for Divinity original sin 2 on ps4.

If you have a Switch i feel like most of the games on the eshop are couch co-op lol

Having two controllers out of the box is a good motivation for developers to support couch multiplayer.

You'll love super mario party, complete with no online boards.

This one is really fun.

How about titles previous to this generation?

Any hidden gems from Xbox 360 or PS3? I've been dragging out the old classic consoles lately to play games collecting dust. I found Alien Hominid to be pretty bland, Castle Crashers is a better game for playing with up to four players, but got repetitive after a while. As far as coop couch beat'em ups, Guardian Heroes is probably my favorite and would love to find another game similar.

As far as shooters, Gradius V and Ikaruga are fantastic to play with friends and both are beautiful. Any other must plays? Under Defeat wasn't bad but wasn't on the same level as the previous two.

Me and the family just finished Overcooked 2 today. That game is fun. You really have to communicate and deligate duties. Even if it's just 2 or 3 people it's still a blast and points for completing each level adjusts.

You need to get Overcooked

I know it's Wii U, but I just discovered Affordable Space Adventures last night with some friends and fuck me, THAT was couch co-op, with an emphasis on co-op.

I STRONGLY recommend Helldivers if you haven't already.

The Dark Souls of couch co-op games, and a great Starship troopers experience.

Available on all Playstation devices... And PC

Bumping to request recommendations for any PS4 2 player couch co-op in a fantasy setting like Dragon Age or Skyrim, etc. I know I'm asking for the moon probably. Was hoping Monster Hunter would have split-screen, but alas. :(

Thanks! I'll have a look at these ones. I had no idea it was co-op!

I'd like to shamelessly recommend Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, a two player twin stick shooter which focuses on puzzles on combat. And yes, I wish more couch co-op games existed too, OP

Diablo 3 PS4 is a great couch co-op game. Obviously gotta like a loot game, but if you get into it it's very fun. We've also had a lot of fun playing the Magicka and Trine games for other fantasy themed stuff. Not quite RPGs at the level of Skyrim/Dragon Age, but quite fun.

A possibility for another day, perhaps (especially if you recommend it). I love puzzles, but I think my husband has had his fill of shooters atm.

Might give it a go. I've already ordered Divinity, but the more options the better. Light fun for tired parents is probably going to work out better than super heavy story over the holiday break.
