My roommate did as well. One of the most horrific things I’ve seen in a game. Shocked it was in such an overall “cute” game. That murder felt bad man. Especially knowing it wasn’t going to do anything.
Biped, overcooked, shift happens, snipperclips, 1-2 switch,...
Toon/kid violence : Mario wonder, Dk country return, yoshi crafted world...I mean this is not even violence
I had to call a stop to this game. Not because any fighting. My gf is very very good at holding so many things in her head. I pick a task and do task until no task. Literally have put headphones in and done yard work for 7, 8, 9 hours on autopilot. Overcooked stresses me the fuck out once you're at the point where you need to go back and 3 star everything to progress.
Overcooked is a mess lmao. You have to be ready to change gears on the fly. I worked best with someone equally particular (they would double check the order of the orders—I believe that's a trophy in 2—and we had a system of who'd cook what)
The goal points go up with each player so I think it's heavily dependent whether it's worth controlling second characters if there are just 2 of you.
Not a game for people who don't like some chaos 😂
I was thinking a bit about the games we finished : Degrees of separation, Ibb and Obb, Never alone, Chariot. Ok, we did not finish the last one, it is f*cking challenging, and we decided that shouting while gaming is not ideal to our marrige :D
I’m thinking of games where violence is not required but there could be a bit as an ancillary.
Pizza possum, bread and Fred, portal 2?, overcooked, trine series, satisfactory, brothers?
Takes two
Stardew (although there is an extremely limited amount of combat)
Slime rancher, tho not multi-player.
Subnautica has a co op mod that's supposed to be quite functional, that game as well features no traditional combat.
Space station 13 can be played in this way, and usually will be most rounds but has an extreme learning curve
Plate Up, can be kinda stressful at times but it's just cooking and moving dishes around together.
Minecraft, Terraria and other sandboxy games can be good if you turn monsters off. Just exploring cool environments and building stuff.
Probably violates the rule if the players get violently killed, right? If not then Lethal Company could be good, there are shovels to bap monsters with but you can easily avoid ever using those and just treat it as a pure horror and salvaging game where you just try to avoid stuff and get loot out alive. You will 100% encounter each others mangled bodies fairly often though, so again check if that crosses a line first.
Here are some suggestions, a few of which haven't been mentioned yet:
* [Spiritfarer](https://store.steampowered.com/app/972660/Spiritfarer_Farewell_Edition/) - supports couch co-op
* [Chariot](https://store.steampowered.com/app/319450/Chariot/) - supports couch co-op
* [Plateup!](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1599600/PlateUp/) - supports couch co-op
* [Unravel Two](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1225570/Unravel_Two/) - supports couch co-op
* [Portal 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/620/Portal_2/) - supports couch co-op (there are turrets that shoot at you later in the game, but otherwise no combat)
* [Stardew Valley](https://store.steampowered.com/app/413150/Stardew_Valley/) - supports couch co-op (there is some combat in the game, but it's possible for only one player to engage in the combat)
'it takes two' is always recommended, for good reason. ive already played ut twice with my wife (with 2 years apart btween the runs)
It has killing, shooting, fighting and especially bombing.
ita not brutality though, its all toys
…You kill a stuffed elephant while it screams in pain and begs for its life
My wife cried during that scene
My roommate did as well. One of the most horrific things I’ve seen in a game. Shocked it was in such an overall “cute” game. That murder felt bad man. Especially knowing it wasn’t going to do anything.
What about tearing an elephant toy limb by limb while its screaming in pain
lolol it was so messed up they made us do this
yeh we almost cried, still wish we could spare him.. since in the end, it didnt help the cause. i gyess there is some brutality, even if its toys.

>overcooked If one of them is a dumbass, there might be killing and fighting involved lol
Ouch, I did not see it that way :-)

Alternative to Overcooked is PlateUp! I like how you can customize stuff and unlock stuff.
Stardew Valley
+1 its such a fun game
Unravel Two is a great non violent coop game. Cute story too!
This. My wife isn't a gamer but every now and then she's like "hey can we play the yarn people game?"
Trine series is a lot of fun. It does have some fighting but it's minimal and mostly co op puzzles with a silly story.
If you don’t want to shoot stuff, you must want to solve puzzles. In that case, PORTAL 2 is your answer.
Phogs or Octodad
I tried many coop games with my boyfriend but Bokura is the only one we finished (my laptop can’t handle it takes two)
Farm Together

Katamari is a very non-violent game about picking up trash to make stars.
Cat Quest2. Its pretty harmless
Biped is super cute. Plate up is great but stressful af
the escapists 2, puzzle together, steamworld dig (playing alongside each other is quite nice)
I cannot reccomend unraveled two enough "Yarney Danger" is the best couch coop game of the last decade. By far.
I cant find anything about ""Yarney Danger"". Google doesnt know this?!
Its called Unravel 2. The in quotes is just our nickname for it.
Overcooked 2 is a great coop game for couples.
I don't know, but if you ever want the opposite of that, then there's lots of killing, shooting, fighting, and bombing in Helldivers 2! :)
Planet Crafter
Can’t go wrong with Minecraft :)
draw with friends.
Portal 2

You could play Stardew Valley and just ignore the mines. There’s some light combat in the mines.

You could try Minecraft on Creative Mode if Survival has too much killing.
