I found this game by looking for a couch co-op that I could play with my lady who likes puzzle games. We were pleasantly surprised by how simple and yet fun the game is.

Trigonarium

Trigonarium

This is EXCELLENT. I bought it on sale, and would happily pay full price.

I loved Geometry Wars, Waves and countless other 2-stick shooters (also old enough to have loved Asteroids…), but this feels fresh. It’s perfectly polished, and the addition of constant mid-game changes to the arena shape gives you something new to run away from, learn, and sometimes use to your advantage.

No unfair deaths, no easy/lazy ways to grind through levels, no smart bombs, and in challenge mode just one life.

Trigonarium is a very solid twin-stick shooter that has never received the recognition and love it well deserves. If you find the Geometry Wars games to be too fast for you, but you enjoy the mechanics of Super Stardust HD, then this is the game you want to have a go at. Unlike many other titles in the same price bracket, this one appears to have been tested thoroughly: I don’t recall experiencing any bugs whatsoever.

This title is critically underrated and at only three euros it’s an absolute steal. I urge everyone to give it a whirl!

A great addition to the Co-op time management/Resource Manage genre,

Soundtrack is pleasing to the ear.

The game is simple to pick up and required scores are manageable.

Currently Lacking in accessibility for the colour blind player, but I have no doubt this will be fixed.

Being able to Mix Local and Online multiplayer makes gathering friends very easy.

Graphical style is very clear and easy to view during long play sessions

What The Fork

What The Fork - the best use of forks since dinner - is here! Jump on your forklift and face the new challenges either alone or in a classic couch co-op for up to four players. Let the electric motors roar and hit the forks!

This game is stacked up …

You thought today was a quiet evening when nothing happened? Wrong, because now the dark drones pose a new threat. Visit the different warehouses and show these windy drones how to stack properly.

LOCAL MULTIPLAYER MADNESS

You can choose, work together and reach the high score, battle it out in vs-mode, or just collect boxes in freeplay-mode.

Its the main objective in story mode to collect as many boxes as you can within a three-minute limit in order to reach three golden boxes to unlock further levels. You have to work cooperatively with up to four players to get each box to its designated delivery station efficiently.

DELIVERY TO ALL COUNTRIES

In the warehouse, on the prairie, in old medieval castles and even on dizzyingly high skyscrapers. You stack your load no matter where!

Work your way through 30 colorful stages with increasing levels of difficulty! These stages are grouped into five worlds, Urban, Asia, Scifi, Western, Medieval.

WORKING WITH PROFFESIONALS

No access? No problem! Uses the latest technologies and trends in crate transport. Of course, this also includes springs, assembly lines, and, of course, cannons.

Use these different gameplay elements to navigate your boxes in creative and efficient ways through the different stages in order to beat the clock!

DERU - The Art of Cooperation

DERU - The Art of Cooperation

Deru is one of the best co-op games I have played in a while. This game is perfect over Remote Play Together because there’s little need to worry about latency. This game is gorgeous, simplistic, and beautiful. You need to play this game with someone who is patient and communicative, because you WILL mess up. But it’s okay, because each level will end pleasingly and make your combined efforts worth it. The gameplay is simple - move your characters to the goals, while helping each other.

Each level is fresh and unique. Everything is perfectly designed to work together. Once we finish this game, we’ll start again.

The puzzles are interesting in a way that if you get stuck and start just messing around, you figure out innovative stuff and feel smart by accident! There were some levels that were annoying because we thought you had to have really good reflexes to solve them, but it turns out, if you put your mind to it, you can solve them nice and slow. There’s a lot to enjoy here!

Mighty Goose

Mighty Goose

Mighty Goose is a godsend. The current epitome of love letters to Metal Slug with some other on the sleeve nods thrown in. Megaman X to name one & more. None of it feels forced though & I need to stress that. Inspirations are obvious but Mighty Goose is wholeheartedly it’s own thing. Familiar throwbacks are implemented in a fresh way that work for this game first & foremost & it certainly isn’t at all riding on nostalgia. It’s a great & original game because they’ve designed a great & original game. The references aren’t overbearing & are just welcomed gravy.

Real player with 13.3 hrs in game

It’s a titled goose game and they got guns for hands. Short and sweet, Mighty Goose knows exactly what it wants to be and that is an intergalactic arcade-like action romp with anthropomorphic friends causing a bunch of beautifully satisfying chaos. The particle effects and wonderfully detailed bombast recalls the aesthetic of Metal Slug, which is impressive for seemingly a team of 3 main developers (Richard Lems, Diane De Wilde, and Mathias Kaertev).

On top of the generous checkpointing, variety of Star Fox-like buddies that can tag along, breezy yet varied levels, the freedom to buy weapons and vehicles on the fly makes for some silly scenarios where I can be on a bike with my buddies taking down a whole boss. It reminds me of my favourite moments in Halo where I’m trying to squeeze the warthog into every space and the game respects my player agency. Is it overpowered? Who cares, I got the money for it! The movement options help you be very nimble such as crouch sprint jumps that fling you out of tough situations or being able to hover longer if you keep shooting downwards. It’s a very offensive game so even the defensive ability of honking giving you a shield didn’t seem necessary with how easily you can get out of a pickle. The weapons pack a punch and any game that has a good shotgun is a winner in my books. The game can automatically go into slow-mo when cool shit is popping off much like a Max Payne. When you get the ability to slow down time at your own will, you can enact a screen-filling ballet of carnage that’s as satisfying to carry out as it is to just watch.
