There are a few games that support couch coop, but you’re right it’s not very well supported any more. We enjoyed Split Fiction and It Takes Two recently, but those are quite couple-y. And Blue Prince is very playable as a group effort. Then there are games like “overcooked”, though again not many. IIRC there’s a new Katamari on the way as well. But there really aren’t that many “get your mates together” games any more.

> But there really aren’t that many “get your mates together” games any more. It's especially fascinating against the lens of this return-to-office phase we're living through. I'm a big fan of WFH but hear me out: online gaming (physically by yourself) is somewhat analogous to work-from-home. It empowers you to optimize your entertainment, challenge, competition into narrower and narrower facets of the experience. And tribe. But jibba jabba around the water cooler can be enjoyable with the right people, just like it can be on the couch with friends and fam with Mario Kart, NHL '97, or Jackbox. Or board games. There's room in this zeitgeist for a breakout multiplayer hit that just doesn't feel good unless you're in person.
