Two-player co-op games for couples

49 games. Rule: Games where a store lists co-op on one console for exactly two players, or the store text (or, where no store says it, our sourced role notes) says co-op and the local count stops at two, rated Teen or lower.

A game whose local count stops at two never leaves one person waiting for a third controller. This list keeps games a store (or, where no store says it, our sourced role notes) describes as co-op whose same-console count tops out at two, rated T or lower so it stays broad.

It is a starting point, not a ranking: open a game to check the screen type and whether the story runs in co-op from start to finish.

In this list: 8 of these 49 say split-screen in a store's own text, 1 describes the whole campaign as co-op, and 39 are rated E or E10+. It Takes Two and LEGO Voyagers have a Friend's Pass, so the second player needs no copy online.
