Baldur’s Gate. I’ve never played DnD so there was a bit of a learning curve. I rage quit after two hours, almost returned it. Three days later I fired it up again and haven’t really stopped playing since.
Baldur’s Gate was a special game. It’s the only game my wife liked to play, and we couch-coopted it. We played the rest in the series together, full play through all of them, a couple of times. Never found that magic combo again, sadly, and to this day she laments that there are so few 3d isometric couch coop games.
The BG3 website doesn’t mention couch coop; only online multiplayer. The Steam page for it says it’s a single player game, with online/LAN coop. Where do you see that it has couch coop? It’s frustrating that you have to buy it to find out it has that.
Hey mate, both PC and PS5 have couch-coop (I own it on both). For the former, you need to plug in two controllers, and it’ll just kinda work, and the latter has it in the “session settings”.
I’ve been playing bg1 on Android lately, anything you would go back and tell yourself if you could? I’ve basically been flying blind and struggling a bit lol

Well, there’s Baldur’s Gate 3 now… should keep you entertained for the next 5 years 😃
I’m excited to try that. No couch co-op :-( Nobody makes those anymore.
Maybe not on console but you can couch co-op on PC.

Speaking from experience is all. Plug in another controller and the screen splits and you can make a new character or choose a premade.
That’s great! Thanks for letting me know; it’s crazy that it’s not easily discoverable.
That is surprising. Couch co-op is such a selling point! And it’s drop in/out!
Pretty sure it isn’t out on Xbox yet because they are struggling with couch co-op on series s
It’s a phenomenal game, probably the best I’ve played since Red Dead 2
And now I’m 158 hours in and can’t bear the thought of finishing it now that combat has become sooooo monotonous.
