Other games like Overcooked?

[ZanCat]

My girlfriend and I almost never play video games together, but we've have had a blast playing Overcooked. She likes that it's cooperative, not primarily a twitchy/reflex game, and not split-screen. What other games would meet these criteria?

We played PixelJunk Eden on PS3 for a little bit, enjoyed it, though she found the "if one person falls the camera has to choose which player to follow" aspect frustrating. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes kinda appealed to her but also stressed her out. (No idea why Overcooked doesn't!) Looking for other ideas. Thanks.

If you've finished the main campaign ZanCat, we're releasing some DLC on Tuesday! It's called The Lost Morsel, check out some content on Youtube :)

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is pretty wonderful.

Lumena, thanks for the suggestions! I see the original Storage Inc is downloadable on X360, I'll check that out very soon :) And Ellie, I'll definitely be getting the DLC, no question there.

2nd vote for Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime! Up to 4 players local multi. Chaotic, cute, intense.

Thanks for that tip on "Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime", it's awesome, great family co-op game.

We also have lot's of fun with "Storage Inc." on XBOX360, waiting for part 2.

Any more ideas?

+1 for Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Ibb & Obb and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.

Gotta check out Storage Inc myself.

Me and my girlfriend have enjoyed these:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/224480/ - Preferably split Octodad between players, both playing one "hand" and one "leg".

http://store.steampowered.com/app/324140/ - If you end up liking Ibb & Obb, Kalimba is also a must.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/253690 - Challenges probably too stresful, but the main game is quite pleasing (though short).

http://store.steampowered.com/app/464900 - A little bit too easy for my tastes, but appealing nevertheless.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/310810 - If you like puzzle solving

http://store.steampowered.com/app/381880 - If you want a difficult challenge, don't mind that you are tethered to your partner, and you must communicate _everything_ you do because the game is fast to punish you.

Also Trine + Trine 2 + Trine 3, though my girlfriend liked those more than me. I think the physic puzzles can feel a little bit too fiddly.

A bit on the shooter side, but you might enjoy PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate. It does not really need good reflexes or anything like that...

I also have Hyper Light Drifter and Recourse waiting in my game library, but haven't tested those and probably don't have time this year anymore.

...I really got to just stop recommending these in random strangers posts and maybe start a small blog for recommending good couch co-op games for PC.

Lots of tipps, thank you very much.

Anyone got hands on "FORCED: Slightly Better Edition"?

Try pixeljunk monsters for a local-coop tower defense, my girlfriend and I have played countless hours

So this is an old thread, but I have a very similar experience with Overcooked and coop games in general, so thanks to everyone for the previous suggestions, I thought I'd make a few:

Chariot is a great physics based side-scroller where you have to push and pull the eponymous chariot through sprawling levels.

Angry Arrows is a crazily fun top-down archery game - imagine (original) Gauntlet or Cannon Fodder with one shot kills. It manages to be brutally unforgiving, but not frustrating because succeeding feels very rewarding. Has that "just one more turn" factor in spades.

Nom Nom Galaxy is an odd chimaera of a game. It's part-platformer, part-builder, part-automation sim, part-tower defence, wrapped up in a galactic soup kitchen. It doesn't have the one screen simplicity of Overcooked, but is similar thematically.

Wyv and Keep is a cute platform puzzler built on coop mechanics. Lots of fun, but like most coop puzzlers, it ends up with one player solving the puzzles and directing play while the other gets bossed around.

First, Overcooked is amazing, and my wife and I have played everything through many times over. She could make instructive videos about it.

The are also many fine entries here in the suggestion list.

I might add that Broforce, Nuclear Throne, Battleblock Theater, and ALL the Lego games are frequent go-to games for us, which have also not been mentioned here (I think.)

Still, at the end of the day, I'd have to say our favorite local multiplayer co-op game of all time (yes, I'm afraid even supplanting Overcooked) must be a little hidden $10 gem called Burnstar. Overcooked is a VERY, VERY CLOSE 2nd place.

You're welcome. :)

I know I may be late to the party, but this game just released about 1 1/2 months ago in Early Access and is also listed under "More like this" on the bottom of the Overcooked page:

My girlfriend and love playing it! It's similarly chaotic in it's coop approach since you always have to react flexibly and may block each others ways if you're not coordinating well ^^' The developers are regularly adding new content, which is great and always a nice reason to get back to it :)
