Looking for co-op puzzles games

#1 Posted by Zero_ (1617 posts) - 3 months, 27 days ago

Hey guys,

I recently finished off Portal 2 with my brother on co-op and the added co-op missions and we both really enjoyed it. I'm a lot older than him and he's fairly young, I'd preferably like him to not play so much CoD as he does (not that there's anything wrong with that) and I think Puzzle games are great for developing good problem solving skills. I was wondering if any duders have any suggestions of co-op puzzle/adventure/action games similar to Portal 2 on the PS3. I've heard Trine 2 is pretty good and I'm pretty keen on that. I'm looking at the newly released The Cave as well. How about any Pixel Junk games?

Cheers!

Yeah, Trine 2 is great. I just finished playing it yesterday with a friend. It's a blast to play coop.

I'd say give Pixel Junk: Shooter 2 a go (Co-op QL with Jeff and Vinny - http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-pixeljunk-shooter-2/17-3843/)

You could try out Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves (http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-sackboys-prehistoric-moves/17-3668/) if you have a Move. It kind of does the Mario Galaxy way of co-op though, one persons driving and the other is 'helping', so you're bro might not like that.

PixelJunk Eden is pretty neat. Swinging around and bumping into each other is fun although it sucks when you get separated from each other.

Trine 1+2 and the Pixeljunk games are good.

If you want something closer to a platformer with a few puzzles try Outland, Little Big Planet (1 and 2), Ratchet and Clank All for One (good for younger players.) Outland is a lot of fun but a bit more sophisticated (more along the lines of Trine) depending on how old your brother is.

However, Portal 2 is an amazing game, you'll be hard pressed to replicate that level of fun.

@djou: Thanks for the Outland suggestion. That looked really cool - but from what I'm seeing, it's online co-op only unfortunately.
