I’m looking for some suggestions for great co-op games for him and I to play to introduce him to PC gaming on the Deck. I’ve been strictly single player, so hit me with some multiplayer bangers!
if it’s just you and him, It Takes Two is really fun and was one of the first games i played on the deck when i got it, extremely fond memories.
Another good game from the same devs is “a way out”
Left 4 Dead 2 is a certified classic.
Castle $&@ing Crashers
Borderlands 2 runs great on the deck and has a crazy amount of coopable content.
Left 4 dead 2 Monster hunter rise Party animals Rocket league Valheim Payday 2 Dying light Borderlands series
My top 3 would be heavenly bodies, cassette beasts, and sackboy
Dungeons & Dragons Chronicles of Mystara is a blast. Friend of mine and I have a weekly get together and that’s often the game of choice.
Ultimate Chicken Horse is a great co-op/friendly competitive game.
Cat Quest 2 is Co-op and while simple is very good at what it does.
Deep Rock Galactic if your friend is familiar with the more “serious” side of gaming.Baldur’s Gate 3
Deep Rock Galactic runs great and is the greatest multi-player game I’ve ever played. You can also set difficulty and have as easy or as hard of a run that you want. Rock and Stone!
You need to check out protondb to make sure games will run correctly. A Korean MMO I want to get back into doesn’t really run on Steam since the devs lump Proton in with “Third-party programs” used to cheat and therefore will do nothing to make the game playable (if you do get the game to run it will treat you as a bot and force you complete a “price you are a human” captcha at the end of EVERY single dungeon run).
Lost Ark?

Borderlands series.
The Forest
battle-block theater
Co-op? Warframe. Tons of content, great gameplay loop, free to play and not pay2win. Also runs marvelously on the Deck last I played.
