(No, I don't have Steam. No, I don't want to play online. No, I don't want to play *against* someone. Yes, I'm playing with an adult. Yes, I have all the Lego games.)

@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.
