What y'all know about His and Hers #RPGs on Friday night?

@AllKeysGDS playing the Dragon Quest 7 remake while I play Tactics Ogre Reborn on adjacent TVs. Typically both TVs are my PC monitors, but I'll happily give one up when she wants to play something.

Single Player Couch Co-Op right here.

I hadn't heard of even one of those as a couch coop game.
Thank you. I will look into those.
(Playing It Takes Two with my wife was the most fun I've ever had playing video games. We also loved Biped. I suspect neither have universal appeal, though).

@ohmu

I think @AllKeysGDS mentioned all of them but i can give a little context.

Haven was FANTASTIC as a couch co-op adventure game about two twentysomething lovers who've fled to an abandoned planet. Great dialogue. Highly recommend.

Resident Evil 5 (Chris & Sheva) has built in co-op and it's fun if a little clunky

It's been a few years but we also loved playing through the Halo Master Chief collection as she said.

River City Girls 1 & 2 are hilarious side scrolling beat em ups with cheeky humor, excellent art, and very fun, engaging combat.

Streets of Rage is similar but definitely less funny and more combat focused

Cat Quest 2 specifically let's P2 play as a dog, which i appreciated.

Guacamelee was a 2 player metroidvania we liked as well.

On the lighter side, Overcooked, Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime, and Out of Space are all fun without complicated controls or a deep story. Easy reccs

All of those have real built in couch co-op.

We got good mileage out of Remnant 2 and Outriders, but neither had couch co-op so we had to use the two screen method. Halo Infinite was the same way.

We gave IT2 a shot but bounced off it halfway through for reasons i no longer remember.
