Cuphead
Inspired by early cartoons from the 1930s, Cuphead is a classic, side-scrolling, run-and-gun masterpiece, with stunning, hand-drawn visuals, loveable characters, and some amazingly intimidating (and brilliantly designed) bosses for you to square up to.
A painstaking amount of detail has clearly gone into every element of this little gem, and the couch co-op allows you to go on an all-out adventure. Traverse wonderful new worlds with a pal, as you learn new moves, pick up fresh weapons, and uncover heaps of secrets, all while on a mission to repay your debts to the devil.
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
Another 2D side scroller, Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition doesn’t quite have the emotional story of It Takes Two, but it certainly offers plenty of co-op, platforming fun, along with a heap of non-stop fighting action. This vibrant Metroidvania-style title is set in a magical world inspired by traditional culture and folklore, overflowing with gorgeous artwork, unforgettable characters, and an extensive move list.
With up to four-player local co-op, embark on a madcap adventure, switching between the worlds of the living and the dead as you explore a diverse world full of bustling towns, shadowy forests, and rumbling volcanoes, as well as a heap of fearsome foes to face off against.
Unravel Two
Weave your own yarn, unravel the secrets of a fresh, new adventure, and share an entwined fate with your co-op partner, as you work together to overcome difficult challenges and take in stunning scenes in the immersive world of Unravel Two. This beautiful game has you take on the role of two adorable woolen creatures called Yarnies.
The bond that attaches you together by the tail encourages you to embrace every obstacle and work together to show ingenuity and fearlessness as you solve puzzles and engage with the intricate world. Cutting ties to the past allows new, unbreakable bonds to form – and this one’s sure to help you along your way.
Bread and Fred
Aw, cute! A game where you play as two climbing penguins tied together! Yeah, well, it’s all fun and games until you realize it’s actually quite challenging. Bread and Fred is a good romp, but it is one of the harder games on this list.
You and a friend control the two penguins in question and help them navigate their way to the top of the snowy mountain by swinging, jumping, and climbing walls in plenty of puzzly platform levels.
