Hey, PS5 friends, what are your favourite *local* co-op games for two players?

@Edent check out “Plate Up.” You play cooperatively as the staff of a restaurant. Random patrons come in and you serve them. You do all of it from prepping the food, carrying it to the table, clearing the table, washing dishes. Sounds lame but it is super cute and well executed.
Over time days get longer with more customers. You earn money each day that you spend on upgrades like menu items, sharper knives, a dishwasher, etc. You can have up to 4 local players. There are no set roles. You humans have to decide who is doing what. A lot of time you divide front of house/back of house. But it’s more complicated than that. I swear it is more interesting and fun than it sounds.
I played over the holidays with my 3 (adult) sons and it was a riot. Lots of laughing.

(No, I don't have Steam. No, I don't want to play online. No, I don't want to play *against* someone. Yes, I'm playing with an adult. Yes, I have all the Lego games.)
@Edent Moving Out is a lot of fun - although perhaps a bit similar to Overcooked in terms of frantic short gameplay.
(While not strictly local co-op, Blue Prince, Outer Wilds & Tunic have provided hours of entertainment when played in a group puzzley / pass the controller gameplay way here.)

@Edent since "It Takes Two" & "Split Fiction" were already suggested, I'd add "A Way Out" (from devs of two of those games) and "Baldur's Gate 3". especially the latter if you like D&D.
but "Split Fiction" is 100% top of the list.

@Edent I don't know if Overcooked and Overcooked 2 meet those parameters, or Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime, but I've enjoyed those as local coop games (on PC and via Steam, alas)

@Edent my friend and I had a lot of fun with the co-op focused Resident Evil games (5, 6 and Revelations 2). Unravel 2 is pretty fun if you’re into physics puzzles, and Diablo 4 works well for couch co-op, though it does require a persistent online connection.

@Edent as you may well know, my favourite “co-op” game is “the other half plays whatever he wants, and I sit next to him on the sofa with the walkthrough open giving him arsey hints like I’m Richard O’Brien on the Crystal Maze”
@skylar I see you much more as…

@Edent oh I know how you work by now ;]
my faves are mostly mentioned, but would be: overcooked, heavenly bodies, human fall flat, any lego game ;]

@Edent Has anyone suggested Out of Space yet? You and your friends play the part of a cleaning crew on an alien-infested space station. Gotta push back the alien goop with buckets and mops, and restore power to the station as you go.

@Edent Jamestown is a classic vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-up in the style of Tyrian, 1942, etc.

@Edent What about Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends? I _think_ they both support local multiplayer (Legends certainly does). I had some New Super Mario Bros.-style fun with those when they came out.

@Edent Speaking of which, what about New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U? Even if you don't have hardware, those emulate pretty well these days, I think.
Ah, right, PS5. That does make things more difficult. (But I just double-checked my other recommendations, and it seems like they're all available on the platform.)
