Good couch co-op/multiplayer games? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys!

Soon I'll be traveling and visiting family. I'd like to be able to hook my Steam Deck to their TV and let their kids have a rip at couch multiplayer games allowing up to 4 simultaneous players. The good ole classic WiiU Mario Kart is there and been played until exhaustion by now, so I'd be happy if I had more titles (either SD-compatible or just plain emulated) at the ready if they wanted to try.

Thanks!

I can confirm that Barony is a fun couch coop experience for two on a steam deck, so long as you are prepared to die and have to start over a lot. It might be tricky with four players, as there is a lot of inventory menuing. You might need a really large screen.

Good to know, thank you!

We always play on someones TV anyway. These are typically 46" ore bigger and have at least FullHD resolution. Would this be manageable?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I’m sure it’s sufficient for two players, but I don’t know how the game rearranges the interface with four. It might be a little crowded.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Oh, well. I'll see how it is when we'll play barony. It's not like this game is the only choice, so we can always switch.

Thanks for the heads-up!
