I occasionally try to play co-op games with my retired dad. He’s pretty inexperienced with games (outside of playing a handful of Atari games when he was a kid) and isn’t the most coordinated. It can be difficult to find games he can play and even more difficult to find games which will still be engaging for me.
What are some co-op games that are simple enough for someone unfamiliar with games to get into but which aren’t going to bore? Also, they either need to be Switch games or games which have both a Mac and PC version.
Overcooked is definitely all of those things, but purposefully designed to be that way. If you don’t care about winning especially after trying a level for the first time or first ten times, then you can still enjoy the game. Making mistakes can be silly and quite fun. If you are a perfectionist who gets quickly frustrated at seeing failure, then stay away from it.
I think of it as like playing a game of telephone with a group of people. Expect to fail spectacularly the first time, but it’s all in good fun. After a bit of practice though, you’ll get it down. Like everything in life, it’s just not for everyone.
Exactly–you’re supposed to struggle, but the struggle and getting better at a level is the fun part.
