🧸It Takes Two
The best two-player co-op campaign, full stop.
Strictly 2P story-driven action-platformer that reinvents its own mechanics every chapter. The one entry here that isn't 'slop' — include it when your friend count is exactly two.

Quickstart
How to actually play this with friends — written by Claude.## Set it up - Buy one copy — It Takes Two ships with a Friend's Pass built in, so only one of you needs to own it on Steam - Launch co-op, invite through Steam friends or a crossplay code, then actually sit down together; it's designed like split-screen even when you're playing online - Nothing to tune in settings — there's no difficulty slider here, the whole point is the puzzle and platforming design itself
## Your first session - Play the prologue in one sitting if you can manage it; both the story and the core mechanics front-load hard in the opening hour - Every new chapter hands you asymmetric tools (a magnet glove versus a nail gun, say) — talk through who does what before you just charge in - Don't skip the minigames scattered through each level; they're the most reliable "okay we're definitely still friends" moments in the whole campaign
## Group size advice - Strictly two players, always — no mod, no third chair, no exceptions to the format - Works best with a partner who'll actually talk through puzzles out loud; a quiet solo-brained player will bounce right off it - Budget 12-15 hours across a handful of sessions; it's a story you finish, not a drop-in game
