@Edent you probably already know "it Takes Two" and "Split Fiction" ? Both are great fun.

@Edent I played a bunch of the "LEGO $franchise" games with my son, they can be fun with kids, but I wouldn't play them with another adult

@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 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.

@Edent If your into FPS Borderlands 4 is a tone of fun and has local co-op. Borderlands 3 as well though the story was not as much fun, but gameplay and looting is.

@Edent lots of good ideas already here. if you want to check them and/or find new ones, there is https://www.co-optimus.com/games.php
you can filter by "PS5", "couch co-op", and sort by user rating, etc.
I have found many couch co-op games I have come to treasure this way :]

@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”

@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 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.
