Good Co-op games can be pretty hard to come by, but we have a great list for you today! You see, I recently watched the game award nominations and was really disappointed in the only two sections focused around multiplayer games! So let’s talk about our top 5 couch co-op games from this year!

Playing games with your significant other is a magical thing! So we wanted to take the opportunity this holiday to suggest some of the co-op games we have loved playing as a couple! So whether you are looking to play games with your boyfriend or girlfriend you need to know about these best local multiplayer games for 2 players or more! good couch co-op games are few and far in between but we have ten to talk about it in this video!

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!

The first game on the list is also the one that makes us wonder what is wrong with us, and why our real life kitchen is a mess. Overcooked is one of our all time favorite co-op games! It was even the first game we ever played together! This game is the definition of cooperative! If you want to test the families communication skills, then this will absolutely give you a run for your money! You’ll find yourselves as chefs in all sorts of kitchens, from moving cars to ice islands, preparing food as orders come in one after another. There are so many different tasks to do and delegation to be done. While one person chops onions and cooks burgers, another will be washing dishes and serving food! The game is cute, fun and hectic! It is available on every console. We only wish that we enjoyed cooking and washing dishes this much in real life…

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!

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.
