My wife and I like to play games together, but PC devs often skip couch co-op options. For example, I bought Halo Master Chief Collection because I know Halo co-op is legendary and I never really played Halo growing up, nor did she. But the PC version specifically doesn’t have split screen co-op where the console version does.
We already own and play Stardew Valley, Outward (fantastic game if you aren’t aware), and Civ 5 (we prefer it over 6).
So what other options have you enjoyed that I may have missed?
If you and your wife are into D&D-type stuff Divinity Original Sin 2 has local co-op. It’s an isometric turn based adventure game. Super fun to play and on sale for about $18 at the moment, I think. I will say, it’s a little more involved than some of the more casual games like Stardew, but if you’re willing to put in a little time to learn the game it’s one of the most rewarding games I’ve ever played.
My girlfriend and I actually played through the whole thing together!
I wish there was something else that had a similar experience to divinity! That’s my favorite game to play with my wife.
Sill waiting on baldurs gate 3
Same here! Good news is that baldurs gate 3 is coming out on August 3rd - not long now!
Can’t wait!
Have you played Divinity: Original Sin 1?
I have! In some ways I liked it more than the second.
Us too.

D:OS1 felt a bit sillier and less serious. We didn’t get very far in D:OS2 - which I put down to it not suiting splitscreen as well as 1 did.
