I am looking for recommendations for a 2 player or Co-op (whichever is the right terminology) game, or games, that I can play LOCALLY, with my grandson. He is 11 yrs old, so I'm looking for something age appropriate. A questing/adventure game, like Skyrim, would be ideal. It is important that this be a 2 player, locally played game.
Any recommendations you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
My 8 and 10 year old love playing coop together in the recent Lego Star Wars Skywalker saga game. They haven’t asked to play anything else since it came out!
@Rigs Hey mate, I would strongly STRONGLY echo the comments of @dre8472 - you cannot go wrong with Lego Star Wars Skywalker saga (latest game to come from lego/starwars franchise)
My kid is 9, and loves it - and genuinely its quite fun for me as well
He plays co-op on switch, which runs pretty decent, so I would imagine on PS it runs even smoother.
Even if you're not a huge star wars fan it is a very good time...
@Rigs
Commonly used term for this is 'couch co-op' so you could use that in an internet search along with the genres you are interested in. As for recommendations I would echo those above with the Lego stuff (I think many of their games work that way) - just find the right one to match his favourite franchise. Also Diablo 3 for a Grindy loot collecting ARPG, Dead Nation for twin stick zombie carnage, Guacamelee 2 for action platformer and Overcooked for co-operative mayhem (though you may accidentally swear at him out of frustration playing this). I think the Borderlands games still do split screen also but the smaller split can be difficult to focus on imo.

“ Open-world action-RPG in a fantasy realm of cats and dogs. Sequel to the award-winning original, CAT QUEST II lets you play solo or with a friend, as both a cat and dog! Quest in a world filled with magic, defeat monsters and collect loot in a catventure like never before!”
I've heard Divinity Original Sin 2 has local co-op if you're looking for RPGs. Not sure how appropriate it is for that age though, but just thought I'd throw it out there. I second Diablo 3 for RPGs as well, but also might not be age appropriate.
I haven't played the Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga, but those I've heard have good co-op. I do like Lego City Undercover which I think has it as well.
The Borderlands games are some of my go-to co-op games (when my friends wanted to play them), but they might not be age-appropriate though.
Sackboy and Rayman Legends might be good for platformers.
