9 Best Video Games for Couples

Gamers of all ages know that playing with someone is a much more fun and rewarding experience. In the end, all good games have a single goal: to entertain the players. There’s just something Zen about playing the game you love, but how about playing it with your special other?

A small disclaimer before we dive in: this is not the ultimate list of games you can play with people. As long as you both enjoy it (assuming it has multiplayer), almost any game is solid gold! Civilization, Heroes of Might and Magic, Mortal Kombat – you name it.

Be it co-op or versus, these nine games will keep you and your partner on your toes!

1. Worms: Revolution

Ever since 1995, this franchise has had a special place in the hearts of gamers. It is a turn-based game where each of the sides controls worms armed to their teeth with baseball bats, uzis, shotguns, holy grenades, and more! The win condition is simple – be the last worm standing.

2. Cuphead

If you’ve heard one thing about Cuphead, it’s probably something about its difficulty. It sure is the Dark Souls of platformers. And if you play with 2 players, it gets even harder! All you need to do is figure out the boss’s attack patterns and kick Devil’s hairy butt! Just prepare to die a bunch.

3. Overcooked 2

Who’s doing the cooking in your happy family? Have you tried subbing for them? Well, imagine that you have, and you need to cook dinner for like 20 people, but you can focus on a single ingredient at a time. You’d think that having 2 players would make this game more accessible. Well, you’d be incorrect. The pressure is building up with every second, you keep screwing up your orders, you start yelling at your SO, but then you realize it’s only a game!
