Local co-op / split screen game recommendation

[mundane]

I have setup a SteamOS box in my living stream, capable of streaming games from my main PC in the office. My brother will be visiting for about a week, and I would like to have some local multiplayer games available.

I have Rocket League due to the Steam Box preorder, and recently picked up Speed Runners as recommended. Do you have any other suggestions? Not a big racing or fighting fan (outside of Mario Kart and Smash Brothers, respectively).

Portal 2 is a fun puzzle co-op. Not sure if the PC version have local co-op though. I played on the PS3.

Any of the LEGO games....

When a game lists all its features, click on one.

That link is local coop. 75 pages worth of games. Take your pick.

Check this list out as well.

I've never played any coop except racing games or the older console games on nintendo and dreamcast so I can't really recommened any.

Rampage Knights

local coop without split screen and solid game

Trine 2

Another vote for Rampage Knights. Set it to casual or you'll be seeing a LOT of the first level or two.

PixelJunk Monsters is decent, local co-op defender

Worms Crazy Golf is fun too, it has local "hot seat" multiplayer even if it's listed as only single player on steam

BattleBlock Theater and Castle Crashers.

I'll add (assuming you have two game controllers):
- Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine;
- Magicka;
- ibb & obb.

Magica is great fun with more people. Quite a bit more fun coop than single.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.

magicka not so fun with controller imho.
lego games are a good choice
Guacamelee! and Chariot are also easy to pick up and fun.
Serious sam 3 has a split screen mode.

If you like Mario Kart, you might like Sonic All Stars Racing. It has local split screen.

Binding of Isaac: Rebirth has a local co-op mode that is pretty fun. Personally, it is my all-time favorite game but I know a lot of people aren't really into it. Just throwing it out there because a lot of people don't even realize it has a co-op mode.

LOVE the Trine games (all of them). I normally hate side scrollers, but this really sucked me in. I love playing it with my 11 year old daughter. The graphics are gorgeous.

Portal 2 is another one that I love playing with the kiddos.

Thanks all, appreciate this inputs. I will check out the candidates this week.
