My friend called couch co-op a 'dead genre' and it made me mad
He said it during our game night, right before we booted up Helldivers 2. The thing is, sharing one screen forces you to actually talk and work together in a way online play just doesn't. What's a game that proved someone wrong about local multiplayer for you?

My buddy said the same thing last year. Then we tried "It Takes Two" on his old PS4. We were laughing so hard at the squirrel part we had to pause the game. He bought a second controller the next week.

Yeah, the "dead genre" line got me too... I used to kinda agree until my brother made me play Overcooked 2 with him. Trying to shout orders while the kitchen is on fire and you keep throwing ingredients wrong... it's pure chaos but you have to actually work as a team. It's nothing like playing online where you can just mute everyone. Robinson.holly is right about "It Takes Two" too, games like that just hit different when you're in the same room.
