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?

    Me and my gf loved playing Divinity: Original Sin 2.

    And we’re super excited for Balder’s Gate 3 made by the same Devs as DOS2. It’s just had its release date move forward to Aug 3rd woo!

      So I forget about this game, but I do own it and have hardly ever played. Can’t remember why? Maybe I had controller support issues or something. I’ll have to fire it up.

      My wife and I tried D:OS and she got really bored really fast. I think the pacing of the first couple of chapters is really slow and there’s a lot of reading and not a lot of action and she just lost interest really quickly. Too bad but I get it.

        Yeah, D: OS 1 is boring at the beginning. D: OS 2 is verrrrrry good though. If you can , I highly recommend giving it a try. I believe it to be better than either Pillars of Eternity games

      How DOS2 solves the issue of story progressions and cut scenes when you play online coop?

        Not sure we played split-screen co-op. The cutscenes would roll just like 1player.
