Experience the story of Vincent and Leo, who must work together to escape from prison.
At a time where most game releases from big publishers donât include (couch) coop modes anymore, âA Way Outâ takes a different path: It focuses entirely on 2 player coop gameplay. You take control of one of two characters, which donât know each other at the beginning of the game. However, they quickly learn that they need to work together to escape from prison.
âA Way Outâ is primarily about finding needful things and do stuff together, like breaking doors, climbing up a shaft or watching out while the other person tries to escape from its cell. The game basically feels like a (about 6 hours long) movie with a few interactive puzzles and challenges in between.
The game uses a dynamic splitscreen. If something important happens on one side, the other part of the screen gets smaller. It feels very good, because both players can experience important story momentsâfrom different angles.
âA Way Outâ doesnât offer unique puzzles or innovative gameplay mechanics, but itâs a great coop experience with a heartwarming story. This is not something many other games accomplish.

We love couch coop games. Nothing beats the joy of sitting in the same room, playing some fun games and experiencing the reactions of your friendsâespecially at the moment, when youâre more often at home with your partner, family members or roommates. Sure, online multiplayer modes can also be fun, but couch coop has always been the best type of multiplayer games.
If you are like us, you play local multiplayer games on a regular basis, either with your kids or your friends. Every platform has some couch coop classics, for example âMario Kart 8 Deluxeâ or âSuper Mario Partyâ on Nintendo Switch. While these couch coop games can be played over and over again, you may want to try something new from time to time. So, where do you find interesting, new titles? Sometimes you get great recommendations from friends, but most of the time you need to do your own research.
Most game stores like Steam, PlayStation/Microsoft Store or Nintendo eShop offer categories for local multiplayer games. However, they either feature just a handful of new games or list thousands of entries. Websites for couch coop games do exist, but they try to list them all, even the not-so-good ones. Gaming related blogs and magazines write about couch coop games from time to time, but itâs not their main subject. You probably donât want to search on the internet for hours and hunt for hidden gems. You want to find great, new games without the hassle. Thatâs why weâve came up with the idea for âCouch Coop Favoritesâ.
Weâve created lists with handpicked couch coop gamesâfilterable by platform, player number and relevant features. On this website you can quickly find new games that has been tested by people like you. Save time on researching, spend more time with your friends and family.
We are Tabea und Patrick, both in our mid-20s and from Northern Germany. We have a deep passion for couch coop games and did a lot of research on the subject in our student days. We donât know all titles, but we certainly know a lot of excellent games for different platforms and audiences. We regularly play games, but we still identify as casual gamers. We believe that not every gaming related site needs to look like it has been made for stereotypical gamers.
Our mission is simple: We want to bring joy to people looking for good couch coop games and we want to support indie developers, too.
All games listed here are handpicked by us. Weâre not paid by developers to feature their games. Developers often send us their games for free, but this doesnât influence our opinon about these games. If we list a game, we genuinely like it. Itâs that simple. No ads, no affiliate links, just good games.
Regardless of whether youâre an (indie) game developer or just a fan of couch coop games, weâd be happy to hear from you. Feel free to send us an email or start a conversation on Twitter! đ đź
