Showing 51 to 100 of 100 total entries

CTHULOOT

A pretty clever, but challenging, top-down adventure for pairs or groups

Ready, Steady, Ship!

Whether solo or co-op this shipping game will test your speed, skills, planning, and patience

Asterix & Obelix Slap Them All! 2

Featuring characters more unfamiliar to American audiences, the pacing of this beat-em-up is also quite unique

Ember Knights

While it starts out slow, once you start unlocking new weapons and game elements it does pick up some steam quite nicely

Jitsu Squad

After a release day patch, this pretty silly and unique beat-em-up is ready for the next challenger(s)

All Hands on Deck

While not always mechanically ideal, this co-op title mixes creativity and puzzles nicely

BOKURA: planet

Offering up some pretty smart challenges, and a fair amount of weirdness in its story, this co-op puzzler works nicely

Hyperspaced

While not without some irritating flaws that exhibit themselves at times, if you’re looking for a co-op challenge this is a solid roguelike take that’s worth a look

PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY

The Sony handheld classics are now on Switch and still absolutely deliver on a mix of challenge and fun… with some grinding!

PlateUp!

An alternative take on the likes of Overcooked-style multiplayer food prep chaos that has both ups and downs

Aliens: Fireteam Elite

If you have the connection to support this “cloud play” game, it offers intense and compelling squad-based shooting

Fling to the Finish

Silly, weird, and sometimes frantic co-op or competitive fun that also offers up a challenge

Bullets & Brains

As twin-stick zombie shooting roguelikes go, this manages to be pretty good, with a variety of missions and customizations that work well, and a challenge once it gets rolling

The Smurfs – Dreams

While not a Mario-killer or even threatener by any means, this is a colorful 3D platformer has all-ages appeal

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition

Fans of busting ghosts or who may even enjoy doing some haunting online should find this to be quite engaging

BOKURA

While perhaps the story of two childhood friends may read a bit oddly, the smart co-op puzzling play works well enough

Terror of Hemasaurus

While there’s no mistaking the classic Rampage base experience, Hemasaurus adds enough extra oomph to be its own game

Ship of Fools

While only ideal playing with a friend, Ship of Fools manages to be both simple and complex… and compelling

Little Nightmares III

A great and grand adventure you can enjoy solo or co-op, with plenty of dark imagery and cool moments, but it has limits

Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn

A good time of an throwback arcade-like experience, elevating above its NES roots into something more

Hand in Hand

A satisfying mix of puzzles and not-too-taxing platforming to enjoy co-op or solo in a pinch

No doubt inspired a bit by the likes of the Overcooked series, Manic Mechanics changes some elements up to reasonably stand on its own

Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny

Featuring well-known kids show characters, unfortunately animated in a style that’s a little off, there’s at least enough core play here to be of interest for families or fans

We Were Here Together

This co-op escape room-esque series finally more fully hits its stride with this edition, though its Switch handheld performance is still not ideal

Yarn Guardians

While absolutely quirky and not incredibly deep, it does offer up some lighter shooter play with plenty of cats

The Karate Kid: Street Rumble

A solid beat-em-up take on the classic movie with nice character variety and enjoyable gameplay while it lasts

KarmaZoo

Inherently multiplayer games are always a risk, but there’s no doubt this truly cooperative platformer is pleasant

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons

The classic early beat-em-up has gotten a decent upgrade, better than the usual for it, but it has a weird flow overall

The Past Within

While it has an unconventional means of supporting co-op play (you need to play with a copy on 2 different devices), it delivers nicely

Robotry!

If you (and potentially a friend) don’t mind the frustration of trying to get (and then keep) going, Robotry is a unique challenge

ibb & obb

Local co-op games are obviously pretty well-represented on the Switch, and they range from light and silly to pretty ...

Human Fall Flat - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

While it’s understandable that games that feature weird controls and physics won’t be for everyone, if you’re down for odd sandbox-style challenges and some silliness, this delivers

It’s more family-friendly vibe may turn some people away, but it has a pretty solid mix of action, stealth, and strategy
