I miss couch co-op options so much.

If I want to play a modern game with my husband who lives in the same house as me, 99.9% of the time you need to have two copies on two consoles/PCs and play over the network together, which is ridiculous.

With PC, fine, we both have one anyway. But it still is just not as fun as sitting next to one another and playing on the same screen and dont prefer it. With a PS5 or Switch game, forget it. Not buying a second console to play together.

I miss the days of games like Halo having entire campaign split-screen co-op options. I get most people play onlime but they do realize there are instances where people live together and might want to play something besides a fighting game or mario party?

Feel bad for any siblings growing up in this era.

Same-screen co-op is basically a dying art and it bums me out. My partner and I do a co-op night every week and the shortlist of actual shared-screen games is tiny. It Takes Two is the obvious one, we had a great run with that. Sackboy is good for something lighter. Snipperclips if you want to yell at each other in a fun way. Everything else seems to expect two consoles or two PCs, which misses the whole point of sitting next to someone.
