A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Edit: it looks like the banner is incorrect. On the front page of steam it’s the right dates and says summer, but when I click on it to see all the sales it says spring with the dates for the spring sale. It’ll probably get fixed soon.

Can someone recommend a bunch of good couch coop games I've never heard of

[–] silverchase@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Which ones have you heard of?

Gauntlet Slayer Edition
- Good old dungeon crawling. 2014 revival of an 80s arcade classic.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
- Defuse a bomb with your friends
CATO: Buttered Cat
- Puzzle platformer featuring that joke about how cats and toast land when dropped
Mosa Lina
- Aggressively randomized puzzle platformer
Assault Android Cactus
- Arcade-style twin-stick shooter with pumping soundtrack
Pizza Possum
- Very soft stealth game about stealing and eating lots of food
Moving Out 2 (or 1 if you're fine with local only)
- Drag and move furniture onto a truck

I know the 2 games below have 2 player couch coop. Not sure if you can play with 4p local on EDF

Dynasty Warriors 8 - beat up soldiers by the hundreds while watching Romance of 3 Kingdoms as a 3D anime. "Complete Edition" but still has fuckloads of DLC skins which aren't worth it. Or just buy and pirate the actual complete thing later.
Earth Defense Force 5 - Kill giant insects and aliens with building-destroying firepower. The story and narration in 5 takes itself too seriously, but it has many quality of life improvements over 4, which is overall a funnier game with the best infantry sing-along

If you can forgive the self promotion and enjoy platformers. Our game has (an admittedly challenging) couch coop mode.

Tinkerlands. I just got it together with Novalands (which is a good time sink on switch). Haven't started playing it yet, but it seems similar to terraria, but topdown and with more focus on coop.

Does this one have couch coop? I remember buying Don't Starve Together and finding out it was only "online" together really rustled my gears

[–] avattar 1 points 13 minutes ago

Oh, sorry. It looks like only online co-op. I just checked the settings. There is only options for tcp/ip multi-player, or steam multiplayer.

Relevant?

Depends on which you did hear of. Spelunky you probably did, but is Octodad niche enough?

Ooh, try Full Metal Furies. I personally mostly played single player, but I think co-op should be cooler, though I only played a few stages.
