Hey everyone! Me and my wife have been having a blast gaming together on our Steam Deck while lounging in bed with a dock and controllers. We’ve primarily been playing Overcooked 2 since she’s more of a casual gamer. I’m looking for recommendations on other couch co-op games that run smoothly on the Steam Deck, ideally in the same casual and forgiving style. We’re considering getting a portable HDMI screen to enhance our gaming sessions, but for now, I’m just eager to find some great games to play together. Any thoughts? Thanks!

How about some classic fun with “Stardew Valley”? It’s casual and and you can farm together, plus it’s very relaxing.
You should also look into “Pizza Possum”! It’s short but super enjoyable, an excellent addition to your co-op library.
“Human Fall Flat” is another great option if you’re looking for something lighter and silly! Lots of fun without taking itself too seriously.
How about trying “Sackboy: A Big Adventure”? It’s from Sony but available on Steam. My wife who’s not much of a gamer loved it! Next on our list is “It Takes Two”.
Good choices being tossed around! Have you tried “Children of Morta”? It’s an action RPG that’s fantastic and very family-friendly. Also, I found a cool couch co-op mod for the Halo Master Chief Collection that could be fun!
Children of Morta looks awesome! Saw it’s on sale today, just bought it based on your recommendation!
Don’t forget about “A Way Out”! It’s a short co-op experience that’s pretty fun and engaging.
Check out “Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime”! It’s a really fun game where you and your partner control a spaceship, and it can get pretty intense. It’s cute and very cooperative!
This one is seriously underrated! Perfect for casual gamers.
My partner and I are absolutely loving “It Takes Two” right now. It’s got beautiful graphics and a great story that makes it perfect for couples, whether you’re seasoned gamers or new to it!
My husband and I also enjoy It Takes Two along with “Cult of the Lamb”.
It’s a great co-op game for couples!
Collaboration is the key in that game! Totally worth playing together.
“LEGO games” are a blast for co-op on the Steam Deck! Most support local co-op and they’re always fun to play together.
You should definitely check out “Moving Out” 1 & 2 and “PlateUp”! They have a similar vibe to Overcooked and offer a lot of fun with casual and strategic gameplay. Enjoy!
Yeah, PlateUp is awesome! It’s kind of like Overcooked but with even more chances to strategize.
Are both games by the same developers? They seem really in line with Overcooked!
I loved it too, but some levels lagged a bit on the Deck.
