Fun 2 player games for couple?

kayzee

Hi there... I love my PS4 for games like Uncharted but I'd like to include my fiancee! She used to be into gaming but hasn't played for many years now. The last game we played together was Little Big Planet on PS3. What's recommended for us both? I've not even got two controllers at this point but wouldn't mind investing over the holidays as we both have plenty of time off!

Any genre welcomed (but nothing too serious as after the babies asleep we're pretty knackered ourselves lol)

Here is a list of couch co-op games I like to play with people who aren't massive gamers:

Trivia/Party
The Jackbox Party Pack
The Jackbox Party Pack 2
The Jackbox Party Pack 3
The Jackbox Party Pack 4
*The Jackbox Party Pack games only need 1 controller but require each user to connect to a game via web browser (can play on smart phone, tablet or device with modern web browser like a PC/Laptop)

Action/Adventure
Diablo 3
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition

Platformer
LEGO ... (Any Lego game)
LittleBigPlanet 3 *not played the latest one but I imagine it is the same as the PS3 games
N  
Rayman Legends

Twin Stick Shooter
Geometry Wars 3

Shooter
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2

Sports
Rocket League

I can't really think of anything with long play times and deep stories though as when I play local co-op games they tend to be short play sessions.

Nice! Thanks a lot, I'll look into the above and see what suits her

RedBean Cake

Overcooked
I seriously love this cooking simulation game, one of the best couch co-op games I've ever played. It is absolutely hilarious, we had to pause the game many times because we were just laughing too much and needed to wipe the tears from our eyes. It's pretty cheap and there are a decent number of levels.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Another simple concept for a game but so effective and addictive. It does get kind of stressful but in a funny way. Quite a big game and since it's cheap as well, you get some good value for your money.

Death Squared
A really fun and challenging co-op puzzle game, where you spend a lot of time accidentally (or not) killing each other with lasers and traps.

Knack 2
I've just bought this so I've not managed to play it much but so far it's a fun, not very serious at all, platform adventure game. Gaming mechanics seem to offer a decent amount of depth but the story and characters are pretty poor. I don't pay too much attention to that though.

Since I only really play co-op games, I can name a lot more co-op games but they are a bit more pricey and/or serious. Feel free to PM me for those but I think the list from me and the user above should keep you busy enough.

Another one for
Rocket League and all the Lego games.

1 for Overcooked!
Amazing game, very easy controls, basic idea, very fun to play. Wait until you reach the higher levels and she shouts at you to chop to tomatoes faster

1 for Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Brilliant little fun game, not as exciting as Overcooked IMO but still worth buying.

Tricky Towers
It has a few modes which make it challenging but the concept of the game is similar to Tetris.

Worms Battlegrounds
It requires a little getting used to, but it's super fun.

A bit more advanced game which requires more dedication and concentration is Diablo 3
Sport Games such as FIFA, Pro Evolution Soccer, NBA etc

Also when you are buying a second controller, look for the updated version 2 controller. You can recognize them if you see a light going across the touch pad
