Yeah that’s the only way I’ve played co-op for Minecraft, on the couch. We had a good run of playing ARK together like that for a bit as well. But the controls for co-op have a few issues. (If you go to the inventory or upgrades, they buttons for the other player will start to get wonky in their inventory or upgrades. Usually you all together can’t press buttons at all and have to exit until the other player finishes. If you look through a scope, it zooms on the other person’s screen as well, strange flaws that you would think they would have fixed but never did after many updates.
But if you have a PlayStation, a short game that I really liked was “A Way Out”. Its a couch co-op jailbreak game. It was made really well I think. The screen even resizes giving each player “priority” parts where it intentionally makes one player take the lead and the other support. Never played another game that did co op so well.
oh jeez, I knew minecraft really got enshittified but I didn’t think it was that bad, even on bugrock edition
I’ll make sure to check it out, thanks for the recommendation :)
I was talking about the controls in ARK doing that. It’s a survival game where you tame dinosaurs and raise them up in strength. Flying, swimming. Running around on raptors as well. I only ever played offline, but there are online games where people build giant bases put of gates, turrets, crazy things. Then you get someone riding a megalodon with a makeshift scuba mask. It can be fun. There is a TV show I think now about it.
