Shootas Blood and Teef. A 40k themed side scrolling shooter with very heavy stylized graphics. If you like 40k it’s a good insight in how orks see themselves. If you don’t like 40k it’s still a mechanically solid game and it doesn’t really have the same grimdarkness that is common in 40k games.
Try emulating Kirby and the Forgotten Land using a Switch emulator.
I recommend avoiding people’s recommendations for PC-only/indie games altogether. You will be lowering your standards just to get something that ‘works’ rather than something that’s actually worth your time.
Oh I’m so sorry, it seems that you struggle with reading!!!
This isn’t anything to be embarrassed about, kids and adults have trouble with reading and comprehension all the time. I’d encourage you to get your parents or a guardian to look into education help. Even (at the worst) YouTube should have plenty of basic comprehension lessons available, which will make following these complex patch notes easier to understand!
Let me know when retro deck supports Switch emulators
Let me know if I can be any further help! More than happy to help you with reading. I’m also really good friends with the developers behind RetroDECK, so I can always pass on your beautifully and kindly expressed comments.
I’ve recently played Carrion and although you’re controlling the monster there it felt very much like Abuse to me. Apart from mouse and keyboard controls, it has very similar art style and art direction with very nice “old school” pixel art. Very mich recommended.
I bought the collection a few years ago and played nearly all the titles.
There’s something about these games that makes them feel “off” for me and I can’t quite put my finger on it.
I mean, there’s guns and aliens to shoot, huge buildings and large terrains to cross with cool vehicles. Yet, it never clicked with me. It feels like the games have no soul.
It’s a weird feeling that I could never explain properly.
Honestly the coop play on Lego PC games is pretty good if you can get over them being cartooney. You have lots to pick from too, so maybe your partner has movies they’re a fan of that are represented in Lego games.
Yup, seconding this. The gameplay is simple enough for a first time gamer and they’re funny. Lego Skywalker Saga and Lego Harry Potter were a blast, and we picked up Lego Voyagers but haven’t played it yet.
Semi-casual games that run well on older PCs and linux? Plus no launchers? Let’s see.
I got a few but there may be splitscreen ones in this list too. (If that’s ok)
Battleblock Theater
Biped (maybe?)
Cassette Beasts
Castle Crashers
Children of Morta
Don’t Starve Together
Dinkum (If Australian Animal Crossing sounds interesting)
Factorio
A hat in time
Guacamelee
Human Fall Flat
Hyper Light Drifter
ibb & obb
KeyWe
Kingdom Two Crowns
Knights and Bikes
Like, all of the lego games (They’re all similar mechanically, so pick one of the newer ones that look good)
Lovers in a dangerous spacetime
Magicka (I like the first one but the second one isn’t bad)
Monaco
Moon Hunters
Necesse
Peak
Resident Evil 5/6 (Yes, really, its a great time in co-op)
Satisfactory
Secrets of Grindea
Split Fiction (This one may be graphically harder to run?)
Stardew Valley
Spiritfarer
Terraria
Trine games
Valheim (At least until mistlands)
I’m kind of going off of semi-casual meaning not high intensity shooters or things that require crazy skills. Most of these are pretty easy to pick up and are generally forgiving. They shouldn’t have launchers but if they added one in a later update, then dang.
That is quite the list! I know a handful of these but most are new to me. I haven’t gone through it them yet but I wanted to be sure to say thanks for the effort you put in to your reply.
I will toss in, don’t starve together is very much NOT beginner friendly. Playing with someone less experienced with video games can turn into effectively playing with one hand behind your back as you try to cover the needs for both of you, the world is threatening, and the penalty for death is high. Might not be well suited to what you’re looking for
Playing Factorio co-op was one of the games that got my wife into gaming. She couldn’t do quick reaction time shooters, but Factorio at its most basic is essentially a ‘puzzle’ game.
… But yeah we lost a few weekends or weeks or months to it. The factory must grow.
I’ve been playing DEADBOLT since the demo came out on GameJolt in 2015. Probably my favorite game with a control scheme like that, and it’s made by the original devs of Risk of Rain.
Oh, also: Rochard - if you can get it anywhere, it is pretty dope. It’s a bit of a mix of action & puzzle platformer but with Abuse-like controls. It was pulled from steam years ago, dunno if it’s available on consoles still.
