It takes two is my favorite couch co-op game of all time. I literally cannot find another game to recreate the feeling of all levels and fun this game gave me and my wife.

I just went through this game with my partner. I personally didn’t love it (3D puzzle platformer just not being my thing) but it’s very cute and, most importantly, it was accessible to her as a person with way less hours in gaming than I have.

It’s a great way to introduce someone to gaming – my wife and I played it recently, and she would ask “Hey, how did you know you could wing on that vine?”
It was such a silly question to me, because obviously that’s why it’s there, but it hit me that if you look around, that was definitely not the obvious choice for getting across.
By the end, she was leading the way and I was following along. It is a really well-designed game and I hope they release another one. It’s hard to get the two-player thing down so well.
Little Big Planet was another good one, but I found It Takes Two a lot less frustrating with two people.

Unravel Two is a pretty amazing co-op, as well.

We even played it twice…switched roles and did it again. What a great game!

My partner and I played this, she was trying her best bless her and having fun, but she just hit a skill wall and couldn’t get past it..I think we maybe made it 70% of the way through. We got stuck on the bit where one is firing darts at the ice wall while the other uses them to climb….
She hit a skill wall earlier but I was able to quickly swap between both controllers to play both parts for a few minutes but couldn’t do it where we got stuck

Have been playing through this with my 5yo daughter. She was a bit scared first time of hoover boss, but we came back to it a few months later. We have nit long finished up toolbox boss. It’s teaching me a lot of patience and she is having a blast

My wife and I are doing the same thing, oddly enough the wife in the game has the fun run and gun experience more often than not, and the husband seems to have some of the solid support/puzzle mechanics work that makes it a treat for the less experienced player to play the wife. Although twice I’ve had to take over for her character for some of the jumping puzzles.

My sister and I were so dissapointed when this game was over because it really worked for multiple skill levels in a way nothing else seemed to.
The surprising game that we found later was Gears of War. It’s one of very few games that lets each player set the difficulty for themselves, so I could be rolling around and landing headshots while she worked on just lining up the reticle with a machine gun. Because enemy aggression is determined by difficulty, that meant that they would come after me more and be easier for her to kill when she found them.
It’s obviously a very gory, macho franchise, but we both love it, and it’s really helped her learn to use two joysticks at once.
The newer Ghost Recon games also have unique difficulty settings for each player, but they’re pretty dense with menus and gear and stuff in a way that is not as friendly to new gamers.
If anyone has suggestions for games like Gears and It Takes Two, we’re open. We also really liked Overcooked and Snipperclips.
