Deru is a couch co-op puzzle game where two players share one screen and work through abstract, striking worlds built from light and shadow. Its appeal lies in coordinating timing and teamwork to solve its puzzles.
Couch co-op is about sharing one screen and one room, and the Switch suits it well because you can set up anywhere and pass around Joy-Cons. The games on this list fall into a few styles: chaotic teamwork, two-player story adventures, and relaxed puzzle games. Knowing which one fits your group is the main decision.
Start with player count and experience. It Takes Two and Split Fiction are built around two players and a story, with platforming and puzzle sections that need both of you to cooperate. LEGO Voyagers is a good pick if you want something calmer and cozier, since its tags point to a relaxing, colorful puzzle platformer. For bigger groups, Overcooked! and Overcooked! 2 are comedy-driven and colorful, and they turn cooking into a scramble of shouted instructions. Unrailed! adds a roguelike twist to that same kind of teamwork.
Also think about how much your group likes pressure and how much it likes shooting or fighting. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a puzzle game that rewards communication, so it works well when everyone enjoys talking things through. Borderlands 2 is a comedic co-op shooter and action RPG, while Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge offers pixel art, a great soundtrack and straightforward multiplayer brawling. Heave Ho is a comedic platformer with a physics-heavy feel that tends to produce laughs.
