Looking for local multiplayer games similar to Chained Together

Need recommendations for couch co-op alternatives

My wife found out about a game called Chained Together while watching streamers and she’s eager to try it with me and our friends. However, we are more accustomed to playing together in the same room. We’re usually a group of 3 to 4 players and enjoy games that involve collaboration or playful competition.

We’re hoping to find a game that gives off the same vibe of connection and teamwork as Chained Together does, but suitable for local co-op gameplay. Are there any good split-screen or shared-screen titles out there with similar features? We own various modern consoles, so we’re flexible with the platform.

We would really appreciate any suggestions since we’re organizing a game night this weekend!

Tools Up could be perfect for you. It’s four-player chaos where you’re all trying to renovate houses together - gets absolutely ridiculous.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime sounds perfect for you. You’re all stuck in this bright, colorful ship managing different stations while flying through levels. Gets crazy with 4 people, but that’s the fun part. Human Fall Flat’s another good one if you want physics-based chaos and lots of laughs.

It Takes Two won Game of the Year for good reason - amazing couch co-op experience

Overcooked’s a must-try - total chaos but incredibly fun for teamwork. If it’s just two of you, A Way Out is fantastic.

Gang Beasts is a blast with friends. Watching everyone flail around in silly brawls is always good for laughs. If you’re looking for something more puzzle-based, Unravel Two is a solid pick. The way you’re tied together adds a fun twist to cooperation.

Moving Out is perfect for this - pure chaos with friends locally
