I love this community, got so many recomendations I decided to update the first post! Sorry if I couldn’t reply to everyone, Jerboa almost exploded, haha. But I’ll upvote all your contributions now that I’m on PC.
Original post
I like to play on the same computer with my bf, and recently we’ve started to get tired of MAME since we’ve been playing our faves on repeat for so long.
The other game we play is Spelunky, since is the only local co-op game I have on Steam. I ask because Steam summer sales are close and I can give him a surprise :D
Thanks!
It takes two is probably one of the best split screen local co-op imo.
I wouldn’t recommend A Hat in Time, the local co-op is really bad because of how the camera works. :(
A few steam games I know:
ibb & obb
Dinasty Warriors 8We played on PS but also available for pc:
It Takes Two
Stardew Valley
Children of Morta
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Cuphead
Guacamelee
Moon Hunters
Out of SpaceIf you don’t mind something more casual and relaxing, Spiritfarer is good too. Wife and I played it in about a week. Very touching story at parts too.
I was a bit confused when you said local co-op. It implies 2 computers on the same local network(connected to the same router, no internet connection required). I think the term you’re looking for is split screen gaming.
When I looked at pictures of Spelunky games like Clonk and Liero popped into mind, I think there are options for split screen multiplayer in those games, they’re old school PvP games.

My friends call that LAN play or LAN co-op. To me, local co-op has always been a more general phrase, covering all of the above.
Make sure to check the Nucleus Coop App if you haven’t already!
https://nucleus-coop.github.io/
It turns games that don’t have a native local coop mode into local coop by simulating a LAN and running two instances of the game communicating exclusively with each other. It works really well, especially if you have a multi-monitor setup.
I have played multiple games in local coop with my brother with this, including Elden Ring. It’s been a blast.
Holy shit does that thing have functionality. Elden Ring split screen with only one copy? Deep Rock Galactic split screen? Dark Souls 1 and 3? Sign me the fuck up!
