I wish there were so much more of these couch coop titles. It is so overlooked nowadays. Great list btw.

[@suguru8031]

Yeah, rememeber playing 5 people in one ps3

[@Barcelone97]

We need more couch coop games like Sackboy, It Takes Two or Rayman Origins

[@alexspyro563]

Tell me about it. Couch multiplayer is super awesome and back in the old days is super cool. People say is expensive but that is BS. Even ratchet rift apart needs a multiplayer couch but noooo and insomniac makes a lot of money

[@AllrightNOR]

What's good about Sackboy? It takes two was 100 times better

[@Na_Desportiva]

It Takes Two deserves to be Number One.

[@EVILLOVER01]

F@&K IT TAKES TWO MAN ! Is what the creator said about the Oscars which got him blackballed from the industry.

[@ferdinand9555]

It takes two are leaps and bounds better than any of the games on this list

[@yanderladle9738]

Yeah it’s definitely one of the best couch co-op games imo. I can’t wait to see what hazelight puts out next

[@brandonlapier6487]

Best game ever

[@applefruitplayz8103]

mid game

[@joeeldridge3810]

Great picks, got a little known gem for anyone that likes the chaos of overcooked, a little game called Fuelled up, it has the same energy as overcooked except on a spaceship which is falling apart and you and ur partner/partners have to make repairs and “fuel up” the engine to keep it together. Highly recommend, I’d love to see the access crew play it.

[@davidstopford6192]

Would love an Army Of Two remake

[@joeeldridge3810]

I played this with my wife ( then girlfriend) back in the day, it’s how I knew she was “The One” 😂

[@Wondarcouk]

I want an access play through of The Quarry. The Until Dawn play through was brilliant!

[@troygreen3272]

I miss a good couch 🛋 co op.

[@TheTroystreet]

I’ve been wanting this type of video for so long. The only time I get to play games with my brother is at his house or mine and it’s been so hard finding multiple player games that aren’t online only so thank you for the video and I’ll definitely give some of these games a try with my brother.

[@Kaizer177]

Resident evil 5 !

[@rogeryoung3813]

❤

[@DJSharpShoooter]

Speedrunners is so good with friends! Underrated

[@CaptainCJ97]

We need more coop games!

[@ufgatorbearify]

I have an armchair next to a 3 person sofa. Do I not count? Am I just chopped liver? The last single fruit loop outside the package, stale at the bottom of the box? They guy that fell asleep on the last train? 😊😂😜😘

[@troygreen3272]

Awesome picks team

[@darkstardarin]

Streets of Rage 4 couch co-op is top-tier

[@Nitram316]

The best

[@goopteruk279]

Excellent video. A pretty solid list. I have earned the platinums on It Takes Two, TMNT Shredders Revenge, Moving Out 2 and Trine 5 Clockwork Conspiracy. Played Trine 5 solo but done the other three couch coop with my oldest daughter. Really enjoyed all four. Have Sackboy’s Big Adventure still to play so looking forward to that. Considered buying The Quarry but there is no chapter select which makes the plat a real grind thus I prefer the Dark Pictures Anthology. Diablo and Baldurs Gate aren’t really my thing but definitely great games for fans of that genre.

[@ErikaHayashi97]

They should make ‘Army Of Two’ similar games more. It’s much fun when it comes to having those games.

[@Ryan-re1rs]

It takes 2 is amazing. They could make 30 sequels of that game.. I hope they do.. I know they made that escape version, but I can't play that with my kids.

[@Restingbabyface]

What’s the escape version?

[@bellissimo4520]

Of course from the same studio that make "It takes two" comes also the predecessor, "A Way Out" - a pretty amazing 70's crime thriller to play through together... I though it was just a prison break simulator, but it continues for quite some time after the prison break, and what unfolds is what feels like one of those movies from back in the day... with even some heartfelt character moments and unexpected twists. Playing this with a friend was absolutely great!

[@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu]

I miss timesplitters and tony hawk and dynasty warriors when it was good

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

A way out! Played 5 hours straight with my bestie and it's so much fun and the cinematography is great

[@Bennyboyindahood]

A decent boxing game and a split screen shooter like army of two it’s not like the TVs ain’t big enough

[@tweezy5804]

Why are there hardly no couch co-op games?? I don't get it? I guess everybody just plays online now? I miss gears of war, halo, story games played with friends sitting beside them.

[@chrisxx5583]

Rayman Legends is a great multiplayer co op game.

[@jasonmann3775]

Is their a PS5 version?

[@TISUAL]

​@@jasonmann3775nope so that's why it's not on this list

[@tomtheutdsupporter]

Needed we were here series, it's above all and no one knows about it!

[@shinmarsh9978]

I wish they remake PS1's Bugs Bunny and Taz : Time Buster, that was a good couch coop

[@nated4989]

Once call of duty was taking couch co op out of their survival modes and only allowed split screen on certain multiplayer modes, thats when i knew couch co op is now dead. Going to gibe baldurs gate 3 a try on split screen though. That looks promising

[@anthonywelch4493]

TMNT shredders revenge is so underrated. Too fun to play with my 4 year old son

[@japaoaleatorio]

Is it possible to stream on Twitch playing local coop?

[@TISUAL]

Bought it takes two and sackboy in 2021. Never finished it takes two. I may need to replace my bro for it takes two, I think we almost got done with that game too. Haven't started on Sackboy, I wanted to wait for others but imma play that by myself for December I guess. Also, I have moving out and tmnt shredders revenge that needs to be played. Overcooked just need dlc finish up. I gotta stop buying multiplayer games as much, I think it takes two and moving out definitely needs another player.

[@cloudvoid0]

Huntdown and streets of rage 4 are both fantastic yet overlooked titles.

[@juliankohJK]

I wish they can bring back castle crasher to ps platform

[@infamousS709]

I'm surprised there are even 10! Coop was hard to find for a while there 😅

[@kris-yam7580]

It takes two is the best of all of this list games. Trust me. ❤❤

[@iwazaru9696]

Is it possible to play also with PS4 Controllers. Or i have to buy new ps5 controllers to enjoy Multiplayer?

[@ojas02]

You can’t play ps5 but you can play ps4 games with a ps5 and ps4 controller

[@sean-work1257]

It takes two is the best co op game ever made bar none.

[@surplusvalue5497]

Wish there were more coop games like bg3

[@UKGamingNetwork]

Your list seems to be broken. I checked and double-checked and Overcooked: All You Can Eat (aka. the greatest couch co-op game ever in the history of the world) was nowhere to be seen.

[@PlayStationAccess]

It's the 11th game.

[@demonshinobi666]

Yessir🔥🎮🔥

[@fearIfinch]

Couch co op makes me wish I had a friend

[@yanderladle9738]

Elden ring couch co-op is really fun. It’s not a official mode but with the new assist feature for the dualsense controller, you can have one person attack and the other dodge. I recommend it if you have anyone to game with to give it a try.

[@zaidabraham7310]

Lots of games are really fun using the assust feature

[@wastedtalent666]

That sounds like a nightmare 😂

[@Davinder4770]

The Ascent

[@MrWolfPants]

Leaving out Heavenly Bodies should be a crime

[@PlayStationAccess]

It would be the 11th game on the list. One of Dave's lunchtime go tos.

[@nickofzo]

Gt7 has got a 4 player splitscreen update on ps5 since yesterday.

[@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu]

Ooh 4 player? that is sick. I've used two player split screen but so good to play racing games 4 players. It usually only reserved for kart racers.

[@farisjunos3582]

Come on PlayStation team we need split game that has the same quality of single player games 😢

[@bdodge5401]

Broforce!

[@3mileisland516]

Towerfall Ascension?

[@justinpaffa2624]

We need downhill domination back

[@jackturner6266]

I'm surprised there were even 10

[@made.fresh.daily.]

PUZZLE FIGHTER.

[@JamieMacdonald-rq3ti]

Earth Defence Force 5

[@JamieMacdonald-rq3ti]

It's on ps plus common

[@Kaizer177]

Resident evil 5 !

[@parjanyaroy]

What about Worms ?

[@mattswan0123]

Returnal

[@dex3779]

How do you not have Kingdom Two Crowns

[@PlayStationAccess]

It's our 11th pick.

[@TimsNeggs]

Games seem so Nintendo basic. I want co op red dead redemption gta open world strategy game. Ride horses and so fourth.

[@RizkyProoo]

Is it ps plus ?

[@curryking1]

Contra galuga coming soon 😎😎😎

[@sebastianodiraviolo499]

Borderlands 3

[@samus13492]

Tiny TIna's Wonderlands is also good fun, if a bit buggy.

[@mrvoldis6688]

Access kinda forgot borderlands exists once El left

[@VeeUnitify]

Ps5

[@superamper]

Where's the Unravel Two.

[@Ohhhthereswaldo]

No Stardew Valley is a crime 😮

[@leeeorama]

Ok in the parent child combo, who is who?

[@frazzle7615]

Overcooked?

[@chuyista]

They forgot gran turismo, it now allows 4 player co-op

[@whocares6630]

Where is wwe

[@NothingButStardust]

Connecting a second Dual Sense controller on the PS5 for couch co-op is surprisingly complicated.

[@Zirus_Blackheart]

Diablo 4? HAHAHAHAHAH!

[@connorsapp5235]

Right!?!? These ppl were deff paid off for that suggestion

[@What-kn1sr]

Such a poor collection we have for ps5. Even PS2 have better collection such as Shaolin Monk, that can outrule this entire list even after 2 decades.

[@chrisxx5583]

Couch co op FIFA is great also ⚽️

[@golopoo]

Really? These are best you got?

[@AloeLover]

Gaming is dead man

[@vitolibido]

Basically there arnt any good coop games

[@215cuddy]

First

[@JoaLoft]

I’d cut The Quarry out of this list - The Dark Pictures Anthology is better than this game.
