Overcooked: Gourmet Edition is a fun way to get some gaming time in with up to four friends. This chaotic couch co-op game allows you and your teammates to quickly and accurately prepare food for your guests before they storm out. Overcooked: Gourmet Edition Surf 'n' Turf provides you with 12 new levels of adventure with two new characters, the exotic parrot chef and the fiery island chef. In Campfire Cook-Off, there are four new chefs and a brand new kitchen. In this level, you need to chop firewood, make a hearty breakfast across 15 new levels set among the tree-tops. Each team member wears a bag with ingredients that will help them serve the hungry campers.

With a ton of new characters and sets of adventures, Overcooked: Gourmet Edition is sure to keep you and your friends busy for endless hours. There are even some options within Night of the Hangry Horde where the food is undead, and it's your job to fix that. There are mild levels of violence in this game, but not a whole lot due to its E rating.

Call of Duty has been a fan favorite for years. With the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in 2019, fans were thrilled to have a realistic first-person shooter game back on the market without having to sacrifice visual quality. Overall, this game is rated with high regard by maintaining a proper evolution of the series throughout time. The online co-op allows you to connect with players across the country and what keeps the game interesting is the varying skill sets.

While Modern Warfare won't replace the nostalgia that COD 4 and MW2 gave you, this is one of the best COD's that have been released in recent years. One downside to Modern Warfare is that single-player rounds were often short and predictable, and the way that the game unfolded felt very "Hollywood." Another potential flaw with this game is the size and time is rather large, but if you have good internet speeds you should be fine. An easy fix to a large size is an external hard drive.

The maps can be a little confusing at first, but once you understand the layout of the game, it really is a lot of fun to play. An awesome addition to this game is the ability to adjust violence levels, so if you have a young one wanting to play or the gore is simply too much, it can easily be transitioned to a more age (and gore) appropriate game. The graphics in the game are top-notch (4K) and the gameplay is exceptionally smooth. Call of Duty: Warzone is a free massive combat experience within Modern Warfare, and it allows you to play with up to 150 people. There are new and fan-favorite Call of Duty locations within Warzone's massive map, as well as a new way to play Battle Royale games.

Co-op games give you the option to play with friends on the same console or online. Either way, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a great option if you are into first-person shooter games with 4k graphics and an old school feel. This game was a great reboot to the classic Call of Duty games, but with better graphics and more options to play with friends.

Monster Hunter: World is a series that offers plenty of content for its s. Monster World Hunter features 14 different weapon choices, and each fight with a new weapon feels like a change of the game. This is a game where learning is just as important as doing. Although Monster Hunter is quite opaque, the design of combat was intended to be methodical and challenging in comparison to modern action games. With this in mind, Monster Hunter: World was not designed with first-time players in mind. There are many aspects within this game that are difficult to grasp, even as a seasoned gamer. If you can get past the challenging initial steps, Monster Hunter: World proves to be quite rewarding.  This game is full of beautiful detail and it can be distracting if you are trying to complete a mission.

Monster Hunter: World gives you cute, yet deadly, cat Palicos to aid you in your journey. While most action games follow a cookie-cutter questline, Monster Hunter does a great job of letting its beasts take center stage. The creators were very thoughtful in their approach to deg the monsters. You can tell by the way the monsters drip slime when they are injured or limp when their health is dwindling. The weapons also vary greatly in depth and design. If you are impatient, there are a lot of videos online that can quickly help you master each weapon. Or if you're opting for some co-op play, it's useful to see how other players use their weapons.

Minecraft is one of the most well-known games around, and that is because you can create your own world with no limitations. The possibilities are practically unlimited in this game because you can make your own world from a blank slate. There are endless realms to explore, with mini-games throughout the game and having to survive with what resources you can find. Minecraft is notoriously famous for its pixel display, which is simple and quite charming once you get to it. Minecraft is different in that it challenges you to gather resources yourself to create your home, village, and the entire world. This is a video game that really lets you unleash your creative side, without falling short of some violence and hunting animals after dark.

A potential downfall to Minecraft is that there is no set-in-stone set of rules to follow or storyline. You spend the game creating your small (or large) corner of the world, and it can get boring if you aren't happy with what progress you are making (but that doesn't mean you can't start a new creation whenever you want). A negative side to this is that if your young child is playing Minecraft, it can be hard to get them to stop. Minecraft can be addictive since there are no check-points, no structures... it's an endless game of sorts. So that is one thing to be mindful of, even for adults. It can become quite time consuming, but if you're the creative type with a little self-control, Minecraft will be your co-op sweet spot.

In this co-op, pirate-themed adventure game, you can expect to hoist sails and fly your flag high while battling other pirates. Whether you're playing with friends, matchmaking, or playing solo, Sea of Thieves offers comic and memorable adventures around every corner. While this game is rather cartoonish, it is still fun and engaging with easy controls. Sea of Thieves plays exactly how you imagine a pirate game would; sometimes you lose your items that you spent hours obtaining to some kids who just hopped online, and sometimes a Kraken will show up out of the middle of nowhere in the middle of a battle with a megalodon. If you get easily frustrated, this game might not be the one for you. Aside from that, this is a very adrenaline-inducing game that is rather emotion-evoking.

The graphics are amazing, making the cosmetic edits that much more satisfying. You will find your character engaged in ship-to-ship battles or possibly running into cursed skeletal remains of former pirates and more. It's always an adventure when your character runs into another pirate ship, will they be friendly, or will you be fighting for your life and pirate-hood? This is a simple game that you can play online with a group of friends or random people and still have a blast while playing. There's no grand scheme or elaborate, drawn-out storyline that will string you along from start to finish. Much like pirates, you can do whatever you want and create your adventure using your own creativity.

While Diablo III is more formally a PC game, they released a console version in late 2018, and needless to say, it has not disappointed. The visual settings are very similar to that of the PC version, which has delighted a lot of older fans that have played on PC for years. The release of Diablo III Eternal Collection has allowed parents to engage more with their children's gaming habits and interact with them more in a digital sense. With this co-op classic, you can play with up to four friends online.

Before the release of Diablo III Eternal Collection in 2018, the expansion packs were sold separately. So now, when you purchase this game, you get the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls and Diablo III: Rise of the Necromancer expansion packs. Here is a look at what's inside: there are five hero classes in Diablo III Eternal Collection: Barbarian, Wizard, Monk, Witch Doctor, and Demon Hunter. Diablo III Eternal Collection is of the hack and slash genre, meaning this gaming style is focused on combat with melee-based weapons. In the Reaper of Souls expansion pack, you get to challenge Death itself as Malthael (Angel of Death) attempts to take over the powers of the Black Soulstone. Rise of the Necromancer introduces the Necromancer hero class, two additional character slots, and two additional tabs for your item stash. This expansion pack also contains new cosmetics, such as; Wings of the Crypt Guardian, the Half-formed Golem Pet, and the Necromancer Banner, Sigil, and Pennant.

So the Eternal Collection definitely seems like a bargain deal, as it comes with two expansion packs and the co-op feature allows you and your buddies to hang out on the couch and hunt some demons down!

Destiny 2: Forsaken - Legendary Collections comes fully loaded with four story experiences, eight different worlds to explore, and thousands of rewards. The Legendary Collection includes three expansion packs: Expansion I: Curse of Osiris, Expansion II: Warmind, and Destiny 2: Forsaken. This is a great option for Destiny vets or brand new players, as Destiny 2 brings back a lot of elements from the first game, but it's not too confusing if you're just ing the game at this stage. This pack offers a ton of true value and a hefty array of quests, locations, weapons, and gear. The weapons are now categorized by the damage output, making it easier to find a weapon that will deliver massive damage.

Fans were asking for a fresh, new feel to the Destiny franchise, and Bungie has listened. The visual refinements now give locations a feel that they've been lived in. Forsaken offers a new multiplayer mode called Gambit. Gambit is a mix of PvE and PvP that form two teams of four to compete against each other. The round ends when Primeval, an extremely powerful enemy, appears in your arena and your team is left to defeat it to win. It's such a fresh perspective on a classic game with loads of new content and an epic revenge story.

For competitive players, this game makes a good medium to test your skills in. There's a huge community of competitive Destiny 2 players that will keep you on your toes as you grind your way to being one of the best.

Stardew Valley is a game that anyone can play. The storyline is that you've inherited your grandfather's farm. You are left with a few hand-me-down tools to help start your new life. Essentially, as a small-town farmer, your character is fighting to survive in the midst of a big corporation that's just moved to town. While this game lacks in violence and true action, it is easily one of the top addicting games. This is a game where it's very easy to get stuck in that "just one more game" cycle. Will you be the one to save Stardew Valley?

Stardew Valley: Collector's Edition is a nice change of pace from other co-op games, because you can have fun and engaging gaming content without violence. Stardew Valley: Collector's Edition is similar to Sims in that you create your character, court and marry a partner, plant luscious fields of crops for your family, and to help restore the old community. This is a great option for children to help them become more familiar with understanding how video games work or how to care for crops, or it's a great game for adults who are simply looking to unwind on a day off and get lost in their own little world.

A potential downfall to this game is that the quality of the graphics is more pixelated. If that's not your style, it can be a little challenging to overlook. However, it seems as though the game itself is worth far more than the pixel graphics.

Whether you're new to gaming or you're a seasoned player, there is something for everyone to love about Stardew Valley: Collector's Edition. With expansive content, this game allots you plenty of hours to play and follows a rather immersive plot.

In a world where everything is so dark, games like Journey To The Savage Planet exist to help you escape that for a while. The plot of Journey To The Savage Planet: your job is to determine if the planet ARY-26 is fit for human life. Along this journey, you will play with friends, capture spherical birds and hallucinogenic plants all the way to "festering alien orifices." Journey To The Savage Planet does not lack in creativity, and it will not leave you bored. The video graphics are a fun mix of quirky and creative, with plenty of detail without remaining too realistic.

There is a mild puzzle element throughout Journey To The Savage Planet. There is plenty to ire about this game and more than just the vivid graphics. You can tell that this game was not made by a team of 1,00,0, and there was real thought and effort put into each aspect of Journey To The Savage Planet. The wildlife is aggressive, adorable, and joyously weird. The scenery is enough to get lost in, and that's precisely the way it was designed. Journey To The Savage Planet was created for non-guided exploration, puzzle-solving, and scavenger hunts. There is so much to unravel within this game, and while there is violence in this game, it never involves anything more than a pistol and some seeds.

Overall, Journey To The Savage Planet is worth the minor investment for what you get out of it. It's colorful, creative, confusing, and full of comedic and pulp sci-fi fiction if you're into those sorts of games.

A Way Out has taken co-op gaming to the next level. Despite its length being short in comparison to other games, A Way Out does not lack in-depth. The only way you can play this game is if you're playing with a friend or partner. You have to work together as a team to successfully complete each mission. Teamwork and communication are a must! A Way Out has been described as an interactive movie with several gaming genres such as FPS, puzzle-solving, driving, and stealth. This co-op game is true co-op, online and same console. While this might not be a hard-core gamer's first choice, it is a great option if you're looking for a fun way to let off some steam. The storyline of A Way Out is still engaging enough for even the most seasoned gamers to enjoy. If you're looking for the perfect game to test your communication skills with your partner, this game should be at the top of your list.

One con to consider about A Way Out is that it is not an open-world concept. You are very limited in where you are able to go. You also cannot free fight; it's more so push x, push y at designated times. Another flaw to note is that the gunplay is poor in this game. Luckily gunplay only makes up a small portion of A Way Out, but that can still be off-putting to some players who are used to a typical shooter. If you can look past those minor faults, the storyline is great and there are multiple endings!
