You might think I am a fake gamer because I honestly prefer to play all of my games on consoles! I mean what can I say, I like showing off my physical game copies! But I am not completely unenlightened! There are a lot of fantastic benefits to playing games on your PC, from early access to games through demos, amazingly cheap sales on steam, or incredible performance! But as a casual gamer who plays mostly local multiplayer games with friends, what really makes me play games on PC are the exclusives! So, we wanted to talk about 5 exclusive games that are either fantastic or fairly cheap for a couple of hours of fun!

If you have been looking for an enjoyable and comedic adventure for two, then WarioWare: Get It Together should probably be the next game on your shopping list. If you are unfamiliar with the Warioware games, the series is traditionally a hilarious romp, jam packed with rapid fire microgames lasting only a few seconds each. These games vary from strange and funny, to gross and nostalgic. That same formula remains true in Get It Together. The game follows a very simple and mostly shallow story as the cast is sucked into their own video game, and spend their time trying to escape, while squashing all of the bugs that are running rampant.

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.

Portal and its sequel Portal 2 are known to the world as two of the best video games ever made! They are filled with mind-bending puzzles that force you to think in ways outside the box! These games are hilarious, trippy, and great fun! The puzzles all revolve around the main mechanic of the portal gun which allows you to create portals from virtually anywhere to anywhere. The game presents you with what we would now consider escape rooms that get increasingly more complex and convoluted as you progress. Featuring buttons to push, momentum-based puzzles, cubes to weigh down pressure plates, lasers that need to be directed through portals, and much more!

If you have watched any reviews, you probably have a pretty good idea of what Kirby and the Forgotten Land has to offer. Fantastic fun for everyone, right? Or maybe not. While we both thoroughly enjoyed Kirby and the Forgotten Land as a solo game, the same may not be said about playing the game in co-op! Here is why!

KeyWe has you playing as two adorable kiwi birds named Jeff and Debra. You have just been hired to work at the Bungalow Basin telepost! You will spend your time shipping out packages, typing telegrams, delivering letters and much more! We thoroughly enjoyed KeyWe from a gameplay standpoint. However, about half way through the game we ran into something that left us feeling uncomfortable. Because of that we did not finish the game, and might not recommend it for some families. So, keep reading to learn why.

Playing games on the couch with friends is an age-old tradition. Unfortunately, games that support this feature have been dying out. Right now Fortnite is the only battle royale that supports split screen play. But, is it any good?

Enter The Gungeon is a strange yet extremely enjoyable thrill. It maintains a unique balance of wacky pun-and-gun based charm with thrilling shootouts, interesting characters and story, and dozens of hours worth of replaying. From the tutorial, Gungeon teaches you everything you need to know about the rest of the game: shoot, dodge, and use items for extra help. It doesn’t sound like much, but when there are hundreds of guns and items to find during your escape attempts, you’ll almost never shoot the same bullet twice.

From ax-throwing children to squirt guns, giant babies to shopping malls, and questionable potions to pyramids. This game has it all! Zombies Ate My Neighbors and its sequel Ghoul Patrol were originally released in 1993 and 94. With their re-release these two top down run and gun games include over 70 levels, each filled with different neighbors from the pippy cheerleader to the adorable dog. These individuals are all in mortal peril from the monsters in every old horror movie you can think of. This leaves you as either Zeke or Julie to play solo or co-op and rescue them.

When my wife and I picked up the demo we had both had incredibly long days at work, and had a stressful time putting the kid to bed! We had the intention to make a ten minute video, and go to bed. Despite all of this and the fact that we both had to go to work in the morning we continued playing the game far longer, much past when we normally would have slept. And we would have continued playing, if we had not completed the demo! So, the question is, why?

Zombies Ate my Neighbors, and its sequel Ghoul Patrol were released in 1993 and 1994 respectively on the SNES and the Sega Genesis. Now the games are being brought back to life on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PC and Playstation.

After three years, we finally have another Warioware game! And this time it comes with some incredible new features, including 2 player co-op! Warioware has been around since 2003. These games are jam packed full of tiny microgames which are extremely tiny mini games. Each one lasts only a few seconds. It first gives you a simple instruction, then leaves you to solve each puzzle.

If you love adorable things and playing video games with your significant other then you are definitely going to be interested in River Tails Stronger Together! This is honestly one of the cutest games we have ever seen! It is a co-op 3D platformer where you play as Finn the Fish and Furple the cat! These two characters have unique personalities, and while cats and fish are often portrayed as enemies, these two need to work together to progress through the gorgeous platforming stages as they attempt to rescue Furple’s family at the top of the icy mountain!

Operation tango is a brand new, asymmetrical co-op only game! And it is coming to your favorite platforms! Man are we excited! It will be released on June 1, 2021 on Playstation, PC, and Xbox. The game is being developed by Clever Plays, who have announced that all platforms should have fully supported crossplay. So, no matter what platforms your friends play on, you can play with them! In addition to full crossplay compatibility, the game also comes with a friends pass, meaning that only one player needs to buy the game, while anyone they like can play for free.

Okay, this Nintendo Direct, while disappointing for some, what with no Zelda or Metroid prime, was fantastic if you love local multiplayer games! A good 40 percent of the video was spent on games that support local multiplayer.

We cannot tell you how excited we are for this game! Aliisha: The Oblivion of Twin Goddesses was just announced at an indie-world showcase! It looks gorgeous! The art style and puzzles reminded us of shrines and temples from Zelda games!

KeyWe is a co-op puzzler set in the mailroom of Bungalow Basin. You play as Jeff and Debra, the new hires, and work together to keep things in order. The catch: you’re both kiwi birds. Aaaand since birds don't have hands to aid them, you will need to flap, peck, butt pound and jump around to complete your daily tasks!

Never before has a journey to Mars been quite so infuriating, hazardous, tedious and at the same time incredibly charming. 39 Days to Mars is a short, but intriguing, cooperative adventure filled with charmingly voice acted dialogue and a large assortment of puzzles to solve. The game involves two individuals embarking on a journey to Mars. Unfortunately for them, the ship is hardly space worthy and throughout the 39 day epic it continuously has technical problems that the two of you will need to overcome by cooperatively solving puzzles.
