Cozy co-op without pressure
Not every evening needs adrenaline. Relaxing co-op games let you build, farm, clean or puzzle while you chat about your day. Shooters, fighting and racing games are deliberately left out here – what remains are simulation, puzzle and sandbox titles with co-op according to Steam and IGDB.
Great for couples, for friends who don't play much or for a Sunday evening after a long week. If you want more pace, switch to Chaos & Laughs.
Our picks
PowerWash Simulator

Spiritfarer
A ferry for departed souls: cook, build, say goodbye. The second player controls Daffodil the cat.
Stardew Valley
