Find your perfect game →What makes a good couples game?
The best games for couples are ones where neither person feels left behind. That means low pressure mechanics, clear objectives that don't require fast reflexes, and a story or world engaging enough that even a non-gamer stays interested.
Co-op games where you work together rather than compete tend to work best — the shared goal creates moments you both experience at the same time, which is what makes gaming together memorable.
Do you need two controllers?
For most games on this list, yes — two controllers or one controller and a keyboard/mouse. It Takes Two and Portal 2 both require two separate inputs. Stardew Valley and Spiritfarer can be played with keyboard and controller simultaneously. A Short Hike is single player but great to play while the other person watches and suggests.
