I was tempted to suggest Overcooked, but there is one thing worth mentioning. Overcooked can be a bit... frustrating for some. The game can become fairly fast paced and it helps if you have really good communication. When I play the game, we're actively calling out role swaps/transitions or just adapting on the fly. Personally, I find it really fun because of that very reason, but some may not... and there may also be issues if you don't communicate terribly well!
I tried a similar game this past weekend called Tools Up!, which is about having to remodel rooms according to a plan. I'm only halfway through, but it's a bit different in that...
- Stars are awarded based upon getting points for finishing rooms; however, three stars are only if you finish everything, which includes clean up.
- Unlike Overcooked with its constant orders coming in, the plans do not change in Tools Up! So, if you just have to work on two rooms, that's it.
- Construction items can be delivered while working, and if you don't retrieve them in time, the delivery person will leave with the item.
- You can't run.
I think my only complaint about the game is that I'm not a fan of how rotating the camera can only be performed while holding the blueprints. We failed the clean up phase one time because we couldn't see an item behind a wall until we rotated the camera.
There are a few other couch co-op games that I've picked up recently. Another one that I haven't tried yet is Unrailed, which involves having to place tracks for an oncoming train so it can reach its destination (a train station).
