Overcooked

Sometimes it’s fun making food together in the kitchen, but try doing that while fulfilling orders for customers. In Overcooked, players play chefs as they create some delicious food in the wackiest settings. The more happy customers you feed, the higher the rank you’ll get for every level. The key to the game is teamwork, so it’s good to work together and stay focused on the tasks at hand. Both Overcooked 1 and 2 are great experiences for you and your loved one to enjoy. However, these games can stress a couple out as it tests the strength of your bond as you are under pressure to complete these levels. If you both are into having that kind of gameplay, you might want to try this game series out.

As Dusk Falls

If narrative-driven games are your thing, look no further than As Dusk Falls. The game is a story that follows the multi-generational tale of two families whose lives change after a life-changing incident.

Playing with two people is also an option where one of you can decide what choice a character makes and the game picking which one will be chosen. Its a fun and engaging title to experience with your partner as you two become fully invested in how the game plays out if you enjoy narrative adventure games.

A Way Out

Just like It Takes Two, A Way Out is one of those titles that needs to be enjoyed with two players. Played through split-screen, you two play as two inmates planning to break out of prison. You and your partner-in-crime will navigate obstacles where you’ll be working together to make your escape. The game has some dramatic gameplay, making this a worthy investment to try out for those who are new to this sort of style of playing. It is one of those titles that does require one’s attention, but having your significant other on the journey with you will be more than enough to easily navigate through this action-adventure title.

Portal 2

Puzzles are always fun when you do them together, which is why Portal 2 is a great game to play as a couple.

By tackling the co-op campaign, players can control characters ATLAS and P-Body as they go through each level navigating through to find a way to exit the room. Two heads are better than one, so it’s perfect for you and your partner to work together to play through the game and would be worth the time for a co-op couch session.

Cuphead

Run-and-gun games are a great classic way to play video games with your significant other, especially with Cuphead.

It’s a love letter to the old style of gameplay as well as those cartoons most of us watched as kids. If you and your partner are a fan of both, it is a lovely game to pick up and play on the couch. It does get difficult to play at times, but if you work together to complete these stages, it’ll be a fun time for the both of you to enjoy.

Lovers In a Dangerous Space Time

Exploring the unknown into the depths of space seems like a great way to spend a date night, which is what Lovers In A Dangerous Space Time tends to be. In the game, players will be in charge of navigating a spaceship through various levels. Each part of the ship has a station that has a function to help go through the level, whether it’s piloting the ship, putting up shields, or shooting enemies and obstacles that come your way. Conquer what’s out there in space as you and your significant other explore the galaxy and fight for the name of love.
