Independent simulator and RPG at the same time, Stardew Valley is the perfect game for those who like farm games.

The Escapists
Many think A Way Out , a game that puts two players on the run from prison, is a breakthrough. It is not!

This is even easier to do if played in local multiplayer mode . After all, two players can easily get confused by so much information by jumping on the screen. Anyway, that's really the idea of Cuphead . It's a platform run and gun where the sole objective is to eliminate enemies, defeat Bosses and recover your soul from a bet with the Devil. Easy to understand, but not so simple to do.6. Rocket League
Rocket League has already ridden higher, but does not lose its majesty. It has gathered and still gathers loyal players who come together in online games to play soccer controlling cars.

It's all about using your logical thinking to solve dozens of puzzles. The goal is to open portals to go to later stages. This is even more fun when you play with a friend. Everything gets easier this way, but at the same time harder if you two don't have much coordination together.13. Plants vs. Garden Warfare Zombies 2
Not everyone knows, but Plants vs. Zombies has given rise to a bigger game and as insane as. Here you and your friend can play against each other or cooperatively, split screen.

It's over 30! So it is one of the best fighting titles for those who want to have fun with friends. There will certainly not be a match between two equal fighters.15. Never Alone

One player picks a little girl while the other gets a white fox. Both must solve puzzles while exploring the Iñupiaq ancestry.16. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris can be considered one of the most different in the franchise. Firstly because it brings an isometric perspective, in Diablo style .

If you want, you and a friend can face the main campaign together.19. Child of Light
Another game of art you need to play. He follows the beautiful story of Aurora. She died and woke up in a world apart, Lemuria.
