PC local Co-op games

Lego Star Wars -the game Epic Store gave for free a few days ago- has been a great discovery. What an example of what a co-op game should be.

My nephews spent 2 straight hours playing it yesterday. The game looks amazing, the graphics are top notch. It looks like an animation movie for children.

What surprised me the most is how easy it was for them to play co-op.

The game detected two controllers connected, I selected "New game" and bam, the game just appeared in split-screen mode and both were playing together! No hassle at all.


That's something very valuable when it comes to 5 and 7 y.o. kids like in this case.

Another great surprise about the game is that they didn't need me at all to play the game. (I only had to disable the Turbo on one of the controllers, which they set accidentally and couldn't advance in a part where they need to hold a button).

My first try ever of a Lego videogame couldn't be better, my hats off to them.

I played nearly all of these back in the day when one of my nephews was about 6. They are pretty much perfect for that age bracket like you said, the puzzles were just about perfect aswell. He seemed to get a kick out of telling me what character to use and what to do to solve the puzzle/s.

Yeah the Lego games are mine and the wife's go to multiplayer staples. Can't fault them in that respect.
