        Couch co-op, split-screen, hotseat; Kingdom Two Crowns is nice. So is Darksiders Genesis, For The King, Moon Hunters, Trine, etc.

        Always on the lookout for other good co-op couch games, especially with a good story, but I feel that they are few and far between. :(

    Please recommend me your favourite story games. This is me and I’m in need of a good ‘book.’ :)

    Edit: I’m going to tell you all to play Night in the Woods. Now, it is set in my home region and felt like a game made for me, but I think it has messages anyone could relate to.
