The day to honour and spoil your mum is here! We’re rounding up some great couch co-op games you can play together this Mother’s Day.
Playing some couch co-ops is a great way to spend some quality time with mum, on this their special day. As such, we’ve picked out some fun and zany games for the whole family to enjoy.
Moving Out 2
Team up with mum and become an all-star F.A.R.T. (A Furniture Arrangement & Relocation Technician, you goose.) Moving Out 2 sees you return to Packmore for more colourful and crazy antics, putting your moving skills to the test. Choose from a delightful range of characters and do your best to master the strange physics. There are many wacky houses to work in, each with their own puzzles and obstacles to solve.
Moving Out 2 will provide hours of fun as you portal to new dimensions. Employ the best strategies to get the job done quickly, as there are many more residents of Packmore waiting for the Smooth Moves service.
We got the chance to try out Moving Out 2 ahead of its release. For the full details of gameplay, specifications, and more, check out our review!
Unravel Two
Another sequel, Unravel Two adds two player gameplay to this beloved puzzle platformer. You play as a Yarny, a cute character made from a thread of yarn exploring treacherous locales. Work together to solve the challenging puzzles and forge unbreakable friendship bonds along the way. With the levels inspired by real Scandinavian locations, you’re in for a visual treat.
In this world, emotions manifest as friendly characters and intimidating monsters. You must figure out how you’ll use the power of hope and love to defeat the malevolent force of doubt and fear. Unravel Two promises an engaging and dramatic story that will surely tug at your heartstrings.
Lego Marvel’s Avengers
It’s no secret that we love us some LEGO, so one of their sprawling multi-player sandbox adventures was bound to make it to this list. We opted for LEGO Marvel’s Avengers because your mum is a veritable hero. Packed with great humour, iconic characters, and satisfying missions, this game lets you live out all your superhero dreams in true LEGO style.
Earn studs to unlock new characters, explore a vast map, and give in to that completionist urge to find all the things. LEGO Marvel’s Avengers has so much on offer that you’ll need more than Mother’s Day to get through it all. A weekly gaming date with your mum ought to do it!
Bread & Fred
More gameplay needs two adorable penguins tied together – there, I said it! Bread & Fred is exactly that, a co-op platformer where your goal is to reach the summit. You’ll have to cleverly use the tether between you to swing each other onto higher platforms and new areas. You rise together, and you fall together.
Jump with precision to a soundtrack composed by an exciting range of artists. But jump with care as even treacherous weather can send you cascading down the mountainside.
Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2
Indulge in some nostalgia and fast-paced brawling action, with Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2. Choose from an extensive roster of characters, plucked from the favourite shows of your childhood. Fight as SpongeBob SquarePants, Danny Phantom, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and many more beloved characters. Combat can be conducted across an array of familiar locations.
Test your fighting skills against mum and unleash incredible animated super moves. Loser has to do washing up, right? (No, it’s Mother’s Day, you can do the washing up either way!)
Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2 is another game we had the opportunity to review. Find out what the team made of this nostalgic feast!
Mother’s Day Treats
As it’s Mother’s Day, we hope that you have already bought and presented your gifts. If you are behind on that front, don’t worry, we have a cheeky round up of gaming peripherals that any gamer mum would love in their set-up. You can also read our full Mother’s Day Gift Guide.
Endgame Gear OP1 White Frost Gaming Mouse
Give the gift of high-precision gaming with the Endgame Gear OP1 White Frost. This gaming mouse features a beautiful translucent white shell, allowing the RGB lighting to shine through and simply glow. More than just its good looks, there is a PixArt PAW3395 optical sensor at the heart of this gaming mouse, providing up to 26K CPI, 650 IPS tracking, and 50G acceleration. Pixel precise gaming, every time. Plus, with the STM ARM Cortex-M4 MCU, this mouse boasts a latency of less than 1ms making it incredibly responsive. Our final favourite feature is its hybrid skate design. The underside supports either small or large skates and both are included within the scope of delivery, so mum can see which glide suits their playstyle best.
ASUS ROG Strix Go Wireless Gaming Headset
Let mum tune out the world, with the ASUS ROG Strix Go Wireless Gaming Headset. Connecting via a 2.4GHz wireless dongle, this headset provides flawless audio for incredibly immersive gaming. Its lightweight frame stays comfortable, even with extended use, and the battery lasts up to twenty-five hours. Plus, with the AI-powered noise cancelling microphone, you can catch up and game with mum over Discord or video call all year round.
Happy Mother’s Day
Let us know what games you’ll be playing with mum today. And to all the mothers out there, Happy Mother’s Day! We hope you’re being suitably spoiled.
