Playing games together is one of our favorite things to do! But, whenever we talk to people about couch co-op games they always mention the same ones, like Overcooked, Sackboy, or Mario. While we love these games, there are tons of other fantastic local multiplayer games that sometimes go unnoticed! So let’s talk about some hidden gems!

The very first game on our list is Don’t Starve Together. This game is absolutely fantastic, and will definitely give you that spooky vibe. It is a survival game that drops you into the wilderness and leaves you there to do what you will. The atmosphere is chilling and eerie, while the game's main mechanics revolve around balancing your sanity, hunger and health to stay alive. Letting any of these three stats drop too low can be devastating, as dying will result in the loss of that world. The more you let your sanity dip, the spookier the game gets, especially when it gets too low and nightmare creatures become your constant companions. There is literally so much to do in this game it is insane. There are tons of biomes to explore, a plethora of monsters to fight off, friendly animals to trap for food, farming, foraging, caving, fishing, crafting, boss fights, seasons, and… well, we will let you find out for yourself. Don't Starve Together supports two players locally and four players online. Unfortunately there is no crossplay.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “What if I was trapped in a spooky castle with my best friend, and we had to solve a ton of brain-mushing puzzles to escape?” If you have, then you are probably a little off your rocker! But, oh, do we have a game for you! We Were Here Forever is a brilliant asymmetrical co-op adventure, which in more simple terms means that you both have different information on your screens and you need to share it with one another to solve puzzles and progress through the game!

Some people are sick of simple side scrolling games, but I think these are some of the most charming indies around! Not to mention they often provide a better co-op experience than other game styles! Bravery and Greed is a brand new Roguelite, Beat-em-up, dungeon brawler! While it's a little bit of a mouthful, it also is quite the game to envision!

If you have always wanted to punch your friends in the face, but did not want to permanently damage your relationship, then we might just have the game for you. Unspottable took an incredibly simple concept and injected fun into its veins. The game plops you into a top down play area with a couple of friends and loads of AI robots. Your goal is simple: punch your friends to get points. However this is complicated slightly by the fact that the robots and your friends look exactly the same!

We wish we felt the same way about our house as we do about the houses in Tools Up! This timed renovation adventure was an instant hit with us and our friends, let's talk about why! Tools Up plops you inside a skyscraper with the simple goal of remodeling each unit. It does a beautiful job of meshing simple mechanics with fantastic fun. Easy controls and full couch co-op support make this game excellent for parties and everyone involved. From toddlers to grandparents, anyone can help with the remodel.

One of the only games that has managed to stop productivity in our home, Stardew Valley, is an absolute must for anybody seeking a relaxing, yet engaging, time that passes seemingly without notice. We have honestly played this game for entire days without any desire to stop. Stardew Valley offers an insane amount of value for its low price. We have yet to tire of the game and hope that you will enjoy it as well. In January 2021 the game received a massive update that added split screen functionality, and for us this is the Real MVP.

Do you remember playing games with your siblings and yelling at them to stop looking at your screen? Well now screen cheating is totally acceptable! In fact, it’s the only way to win! Screencheat is a colorful and lighthearted first person shooter, with a unique twist: everyone is invisible! The game relies on a unique split-screen mechanic that requires you to look at everyone else's screen in order to locate them.

If you have done all the arts and crafts you could think of during the pandemic, then it may be time to enjoy someone else's in the beautifully crafted cardboard world that is Pile Up Box by Box. This game brings a very mild and calm atmosphere to the 3d platformer genre. There is not a whole lot going on here. And that's a good thing! Leaving this game as a relaxing time to enjoy solo or with friends. The game contains a short tutorial and four different levels that consist of light platforming, with a larger emphasis on solving puzzles using the various items found in the maps.

If you are a fan of shooting mass amounts of enemies with friends, then this game is definitely worth looking into. Outriders boasts a beefy campaign and intriguing story, complete with drop-in drop-out co-op up to 3 players.

At times, Operation Tango had us feeling like real life secret agents, while other times it had us questioning our friendship and verbal communication skills. This Espionage online co-op adventure has hidden thrills around every corner. It takes you on a trip around the globe in an effort to take down the evil villain. Along the way you will complete six different missions, each requiring clear cut verbal communication for all the individual puzzles. Each mission begins with a mission impossible type introduction, quickly briefing you about the mission you are about to perform.
