  • Speedrunners

    It’s on sale for $3 right now. Awesome 4 player competitive racing game without split screen so everyone gets maximized view. Way different than Mario Kart so it won’t be a repetitive experience for them. This is the Steam-based couch coop that’s lasted longest in my friends group.

    Tricky Towers

    Tetris game, but the catch is you build upwards to a finish line and physics play a role, so the tower can lean and collapse.

    TowerFall Ascension

    Competitive platformer shooter. No split screen. One large screen for everyone. My favorite aspect is all the options you can change to switch up the gameplay. Coop mode and PvP mode.

    Mount Your Friends

    A personal favorite of mine. Not necessarily for kids, even though I don’t think it’s anything beyond maybe PG-13. It’s hilarious. It can be pretty competitive. You can choose to build upwards or outwards. I think outwards is more fun. You can watch gameplay videos and determine if it’s appropriate for the kids in question.

    Others have pointed out games like A Way Out, the Trine series, and Split Fiction. Those are all great. But they’re longer, story-based puzzle games that take more time than you may have for them to finish. Trine allows 3 players, but the others only allow 2.



  • The SS1 remake was pretty damn good.

    The thing about remakes though is they can lose what made the original good. So while someone who never played the original might really like the remake, a die-hard that’s always liked the original may feel kind of betrayed by the remake.

    I never played SS1, so the remake was something new for me and I liked it. But I grew up with and revere SS2 as being one of the best games ever made. So I’m almost kind of glad this is just a remaster and not a remake.
