There is no shortage of excellent single player games. In these pandemic times, however, we prefer to spend more time with our loved ones. The best and most memorable experiences in the game require a player two anyway. Whether you're solving puzzles together, defeating monsters, or competing in races, video games are always more fun with a partner! That's why we've created this list for both of you too. These are the best couples co-op video games to keep you entertained for hours during quarantine.
Which of these couples video games will you try together?
Portal 2
Portal 2's cooperative mode is the perfect choice for couples who fancy a game that requires logical thinking. It's also quite fun to play the campaign mode with a second player. Even after that, unique user-created levels will keep you hooked long after completing the game's original content.
You can even create your own.
Portal and its sequel are both full of funny situations
Borderlands 3
Borderlands 3 is one of the very best cooperative open world games out there. Gearbox's largest world yet is packed with goofy characters, exciting missions, and multiple planets to explore. While it can be played solo, long-time Borderlands fans know that it gets a lot more interesting when you involve a friend or partner.
Borderlands design is very unique
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
All Mario Kart Games are excellent video games for couples and friends. Their unique random item system also means that even less experienced players can compete and win against their pro partners. On the Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is perfect for two players as they can play it in TV or tabletop mode with two Joy-Con controllers turned sideways.
You can find almost all of these games immediately at Steam
Splinter Cell Blacklist
The protagonist of the Splinter Cell series Sam Fisher is usually a lone wolf. But even he can still work with a partner from time to time if necessary. Blacklist is the latest ste alth action franchise from Ubisoft and features a series of short cooperative missions that require two players to work in perfect harmony. Certain areas are even only accessible with cooperative boost skills.

Cuphead
Cuphead is one of the hardest games of the generation and isn't called the cartoonish Dark Souls for nothing. Playing and completing it solo is frustrating and requires strong nerves. The solution? Co-op of course! The game was meant for that, after all. It's no coincidence that the two main characters can be seen on all of the game's logos and posters. So if you and your partner are looking for a challenge, this is the game for you.
The cute look is pretty deceptive
Diablo III
Though Diablo III got off to a rough start, over the years the video game has blossomed into a phenomenal action-RPG brawler. There are seven different classes to choose from, hours of action and adventure campaign, the Reaper of Souls expansion, and a steady stream of new content that Blizzard updates regularly.
Diablo is one of Blizzard's most popular franchises
Everyone knows that teamwork is an essential skill that everyone should possess. Co-op and multiplayer video games for couples have consistently proven successful in their development. During these difficult times of isolation, the only way to keep your bond strong and he althy is to do something fun together on a regular basis.
