Recommendations for Fun Couch Co-Op Games for All Ages

[San Goku]

I'm looking for some great couch co-op games that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults. Something family-friendly but still engaging for older players. Any favorites that come to mind? Bonus points if they have local multiplayer options!

You can't go wrong with "Overcooked! 2"! It's a chaotic kitchen simulator that really brings out teamwork (and a bit of friendly competition). It's perfect for all ages, and it's hilarious to watch everyone trying to keep up with the orders. If you're looking for something a bit different, "It Takes Two" is worth a look, it focuses on cooperation and puzzle-solving in a beautifully crafted world. It's definitely more for the older crowd, but the charm and story can appeal to younger players too. Have you tried any of these, or do you have a specific genre in mind?

If you are into platform brawlers, a friend (solo-indie dev) of mine is giving out his free game. You can think of it as a bunch of marios decking it out but instead of fireballs its with swords, potions, and powerups. Its great if you have a spare controller and need to kill 5-10 minutes with friends.
