Neighborhorde
I LOVE this game, it has a great artstyle, awesome weapons and enemies, and is it has an amazing replayability value.
I originally bought this game because my friend and I were bored and needed something to do, not knowing what I had gotten myself into. The game starts you out looking at a group of animals sitting on a couch together, but as soon as you get into the game you think to yourself, “Huh, this game looks pretty empty.” Then, five rounds later your like, “This game is too easy, give me a challenge.” and then the next round you are just killing some robots and then BAM you get kidnapped by a demon snowman that takes you into a corner and repeatedly beats the everliving shiz out of you. I have only played the game a little while now but holy crap this game is entertaining as heck and I still don’t understand why it isn’t more popular. Overall, I give it a 9/10, the only thing they could’ve done to make it better is to add some more gamemodes.

I stumbled across this game late one evening. I threw it on my wishlist and waited for it to release. I saw it came out a few days ago and decided “what the heck”. Man, am I glad I did. I absolutely adore Neighborhorde. I have to say, the looks, design, and overall aesthetic is fantastic. The cheery fun visuals and the 90’s toybox theme is wonderful. For 4.99 there is tons of content/replayability. Unlockable “hats” and levels as well as the “roguelike” in-run upgrade system have made it a staple already with my roomates. After we had played it for around an hour we already had the theme stuck in our heads. the controls are super tight too! I purposely go out of my way to buy couch coop games. I have a cooler master scout 2 case with a gtx 1070 that is perfect to take to parties. I have 4 wireless xbox one controllers and 4 wireless 360s. Steam couch coop games are always hits. For 4.99 this game is a total steal and totally worthy of being in my collection.

Cyber Lemur
This game is a really fun challenge. I don’t typically go for awkward control games, but this game achieves just the right level of difficulty with good pacing. The later levels are really challenging and would take a while to really master! The multiplayer options are where the real fun happens. There’s an element of unpredictability and silliness that balances the challenging controls to make it really fun both when working together to control the same character, or when competing against each other. I would definitely recommend it whether you are looking for a challenge, or just a casual game to play with friends!

Boomerang Fu
Boomerang Fu is, at first, a simple game. You’re a Fruit. I mean, excluding Eggplants. And Avocados. Ok, fine, it’s not a Fruit Game, but a Fruit/Vegetable/Grain/Drink/Ice Cream/Sushi/Bacon game. Each character oozes personality, some in a literal sense, others roll around a bit more.
Anyway, as the title says, it’s all about Boomerangs. You throw boomerangs, slash with boomerangs, catch your own boomerang, kick boomerangs out of peoples hands, turn into a box & get hit with a boomerang, etc. You’ve got 3 (4 technically) buttons, 1 stick. Simple to pick up, hard to master, but outstanding fun at all skill levels.

Amazingly fun little game.
And my kids (5 & 7) just love it!
It may appear a bit violent at first glance, but it’s not that violent.
You mostly cut food items or break and occasional cup.
No blood or gore or anything.
The game easy to play - even a child can do it.
So kids enjoy it very much.
The bot enemies on lower difficulties are also quite easy to overcome, so the kids can even play the game by themselves.
Other than various characters (that only differ in their graphics) the game also offers various levels, with different game mechanics (levers that allow you to kill enemies by moving the environment, moving ground, ice, trees that hide you, etc.)

Foodtruck Arena
Very fun driving game where you have to push a giant tomato in to gate to get scores using a food seller trucks, every truck has a unique special weapons, very fun is 2 on 2 , lots of crashes and special weapon uses, has cute and cool plot between characters driving trucks. The matches sometimes happen in rain and strong wind, it makes arena slippery and wind can push tomato in random directions while it sent flying, also arenas have various versions with uneven ground, bumps and obstacles.

Late For Work
This game is fun for the whole family. If you have multiple kids who love VR but can’t play many of the games due to content/multiplayer then this may be your game. Now given it’s in it’s early stages it doesn’t feel complete but I have not run into any major bugs. In my opinion at it’s core, is a solid, fun, game idea that I hope gets future updates.
The graphics are in a basic polygon style and it runs smooth on a GTX 980 with no problems for any players. The game play for the PC players take me back to N64 days in terms of graphics and controlling the tanks/planes (I mean this in a fun way).

Late for work is great fun with friends! I played maybe 20 minutes single player and it wasn’t anything amazing in my opinion but when I got together with friends we played for hours without stopping and that is where the game really shines. My favorite mode by far is last man standing where players pick up powerups to enable them to turn into random items in the environment to hide from the gorilla.
I would highly recommend this game for anyone looking for a fun local co op vr game.. I plan on playing this a ton in the future. If I were to rate this game in its current state I would give it a 8/10 which is pretty amazing since it is still in development, I imagine that score will only go up. My only wish is that they added better AI for single player and more game modes and maps but im sure that more will come with time.

Samurai Gunn
SAMURAI GUNN IS A LOCAL MULTIPLAYER GAME
–————————————————-
With this in mind, it’s a frenetic combat game which is quick to learn but takes a long time to master. The controls are very simple but also have a lot a slight complexities which make matches against friends feels absolutely epic. It’s hands down the most competive and entertaining local multiplayer game I’ve enjoyed with my housemates. If you like Smash Bros, Towerfall, hell even mario kart, you’ll enjoy playing this with your mates.

Amazing game. Spent hours and hours and hours playing this with people. It’s probably one of the easiest pickup-‘n-play fighting games on Windows and really gets everyone going. I definitely think this was my game of 2013. I’ve spent far more time playing it with guests than any other game I own since I bought it on Christmas.
Because there’s absolutely no documentation, there’s a lot of learning in terms of moves and rules. For instance, if you press your sword and jump and a direction at the same time, you do a mightier jump in that direction than normal. Also, you’re limited to 3 bullets a life (gets rid of bullet sniping or camping), and you can hold down to play dead (you’ll die in water if you do this). There are a bunch of stages all with their own little intricacies. If there’s any game I’d recommend for party play on Steam, this is it.

Save Your Nuts
Great game for couch party at home with a bunch of friends. It’s easy to pick up for everyone, new player can join the party in the middle of a game and have fun. In the same time it’s challenging because of the physic and the cooperation.
It’s kind of addictive and hilarious, I recommend it !

My friends and I had a lot of fun playing this game.
There are some bugs that need fixing, but none that make the game unplayable.
Also the controls are a little sensitive, but they aren’t to bad.
WE did have an issue with pairing our controllers with it, and ended up having to switch to our keyboards instead, but over all we had a blast playing it.
Controls in general are very simple, and easy to pick up.
