1. 'It Takes Two' — The undisputed gold standard. Constantly changes mechanics, forgiving checkpoints, fantastic story.
2. 'Unravel Two' — Beautiful side-scrolling puzzle platformer where you are physically tied together and can carry each other through tough jumps.
3. 'Overcooked 2' (or 'All You Can Eat') — Easy controls, chaotic fun, great communication test.
4. 'Stardew Valley' — Extremely relaxing farming, fishing, and town building at your own pace.
5. 'A Way Out' — Cinematic split-screen prison escape adventure with simple action prompts.
Started with 'It Takes Two' with my wife and she loved it. The best part is that if one player struggles with a jump, the checkpoints are generous and there is no game-over penalty.
