Play as Luigi and Gooigi together to vacuum things up, solve puzzles, and find the missing items! While I am putting it in the puzzle category it can easily be an adventure game. You can explore themed floors and rooms and get rid of ghosts! The art ...

Great for 2 players, great for 4 players or more! But more importantly lowkey fun :)

You can easily play this all night or play a short version to resolve couples disputes, haha. In my opinion Jamboree is better than Superstars because in this game you can have allies! They will join you and give you special advantages.

It's a classic, what can I say! This is also one of the cutest games out there, even if you aren't big into racing, the tracks each have their own theme and charm to them.

Although most are for 3+ players, you can find a few games that are perfect for two players! Most of the 2-player games are trivia based like Trivia Murder Party and you don't know Jack!

The short version: my husband loves to play this with me. Ok, now for the rest. The original version is much better but the PS version has better graphics and updated gameplay. Fun only if you're comfortable with shooting games!

A fun “beat-them-up game!” A button masher with good art is how my husband woud describe this one. Also made by a small team who loves to put lots of little jokes in their games.

I don't know how to recommend this more than when my husband and I played it together for the first time we stayed up and played it for 12 hours straight. It is addicting! Build your own farm, plant crops, forage, build, mine and fight monsters!

A sweet, cozy, ridiculous game where you are a goose! It's really fun to devise evil coordinated goose plans that cause all sorts of trouble for the locals.
