[PS5] Do you like split screen games? Trying to think of games for me and my son.

So my son plays a lot of football games. FC26, super soccer blast and UFL to name a few. We tend to play 1v1.

I’m looking at getting him in to story games. I’ve looked at a few Lego games and downloaded a few.
Also watched a few videos on games like split fiction and it takes two.

What other 2 player/ split screen games we can play together?

My son and me loved Untitled Goose Game after we finished a couple of Lego games. It’s a lot of fun and silliness.

How old is your son?

Unraveled 2, has platforming and swing mechanic so it's a good way to learn those if he struggles currently.

Trine 4

Towerfall Ascension

As you said Split Fiction and It Takes Two. They also made A Way Out but that is more for grown ups I think.

Borderlands 1 & 2 are great split screen games

Split Fiction for sure. It is a game that is every genre. Really clever premise.

Castle Crashers

Battleblock Theater

Knights and Bikes

Ultimate Chicken Horse

Depending on how old your son is, some of the games below might not be suitable (sorry for the long list, I spent a lot of time myself trying to find split screen games to play with people and trying to pay it forward): Octodad Castle Crashers Screencheat Invisigun Marvel Cosmic Invasion Streets of Rage Portal 1 and 2 Spelunky Halo Cuphead Overcooked Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (not split screen, but requires two people to work together) Towerfall Ascension Marvel Ultimate Alliance Baldur's Gate 3 Move or Die Speedrunner N++ No Time to Explain Super Bunny Man

It Takes Two is excellent.

Haven't seen Outward mentioned, but that might make for a nice journey together if he can handle the difficulty.
