4. Super Mario Odyssey
It’s pretty easy to overlook the couch co-op fun that is to be had in Super Mario Odyssey. The game is so satisfying as a single player adventure that you may not even find the will to try out the two player option.
Once you do, however, you’ll see that this is a great way to explore the various kingdoms with a friend. One of you will be in charge of controlling Mario while the other is in charge of his new talking hat companion by the name of Cappy.
If you have already played the co-op mode in Super Mario Galaxy then you’re already familiar with the idea here. The difference is that both players get to be a bit more involved this time around and a new gameplay element is added solely for co-op mode.
Even after Mario has taken over an enemy, the player controlling Cappy still gets to move around freely on their own.
It’s a great couch co-op experience that allows both players to get involved in the adventure without negatively impacting the experience when it’s time to return to single player mode.
