I have mentioned previously that video games are a communal activity. They bring friends and families together to enjoy the feelings of achievement and many laughs. However, it can be challenging to find local coop games. Therefore, I thought listing all the couch coop games we here at TGON have found recently was imperative. However, I did not want to leave out those who cannot play on the same console as their loved ones. So, we have a few local multiplayer games as well. With that, if there is any that I have missed, please let me know so I can add it to the collection!

Couch Coop Games
What is Couch Coop?
Some may be left wondering what a couch coop title is. Couch coop, or co-op, are games designed to be played by multiple people on the same screen. This differs from a party game because the players are working on completing the same goal without one being the total winner. Below I have listed couch coop titles covered by TGON with links to their respective reviews.

Local Multiplayer Games
What is Local Multiplayer?
Local multiplayer is like couch coop, but there is a difference. Players will still see their avatars together on a screen. However, the players are on different consoles. This allows you to team up with a friend on the other side of the world. Below I have listed multiplayer titles covered by TGON with links to their respective reviews.
