Appreciation post: My niece and I finally beat Cuphead after three months of trying

We must have died a hundred times on that final boss, but the high five we shared on my couch in Portland was worth every second. What's a game that gave you a real sense of shared victory?

Beating Cuphead is a real badge of honor, that game is brutal. The shared struggle makes the win so much sweeter. My brother and I had that same feeling finishing It Takes Two. We got stuck on that damn squirrel boss for a whole weekend. Arguing over the controls then finally nailing it was pure magic. Nothing beats that kind of gaming moment with someone you care about.

That squirrel boss in It Takes Two is tough, but the real wall for most people is the clock boss. The one with the hammer and nails. That's where my partner and I almost quit. The squirrel is just the first big skill check. Beating the clock felt like the real shared win.
