Online multiplayer is a gaming staple, but not every big title lets people play together at home. Games like 'Baldur's Gate 3' and 'Diablo 4' are reinvigorating the genre.

My girlfriend and I could not get into the Divinity games despite being rpg nerds. It’s a shame too in an era with so little good couch co-op games.

Why not try BG3 then? Very different in feel compared to the Larian Divinity games. I couldn’t get into those either, but BG3 has me hooked with 150 hours and counting.

I’ve been thinking about it but that’s a lot of money to just be disappointed again. I already dropped $40 this year on Eldenring and didn’t like it.

That’s fair, if CRPG isn’t your thing, it isn’t your thing.

I love CRPGs!

There are a ton of couch co-op games! Just not AAA

  • Ultimate chicken horse
  • It takes Two
  • Overcooked 1 & 2
  • jackbox games for parties
  • Super Bunny man
  • cuphead
  • human fall flat
  • lovers in a dangerous spacetime
  • magika
  • all Lego games
  • moving out 2

Dysmantle is fun.

Recommending overcooked to couples… Are you a divorce lawyer by any chance?
