Did some 2 player couch co-op yesterday. Finally finished the broforce campaign, great game.
Then moved onto Warhammer Chaosbane, a top down hack & slash game. It has satisfying combat, but as is common with these games, the story and characters are very forgettable. A shame but still fun to team up with a friend against the hordes.

Since finishing the Elden Ring DLC I have been playing Doom Eternal, which was actually one of the first games I bought for the PS5 when I got it at the end of 2021. At that time I was pretty new back to gaming, having got back into it after we got a Switch for the kids at the start of the pandemic, and I got stuck early on ([spoilers] at the first mancubus in the cultist base [/spoilers]). I just could not get the hang of it — it was a while ago now but I'm pretty sure I must have tried lowering the difficulty (from Hurt Me Plenty) to no avail. I could barely remember what all the buttons did, and if I did remember it took me about 30 seconds to look down at the controller and find the button I needed, let alone use anything strategically during combat! I came to the conclusion that returning to gaming in my mid-40's this game and games like it were just beyond me.
Now, playing on Ultraviolence (?), I'm past the point I was stuck at ([spoilers] beat the cultists base and on the Doom Slayer level [/spoilers] and having so much fun! There were a few encounters later in that level that I thought I had reached my limit and was considering turning the difficulty down, but made it through before I cracked.
I have also been playing Cult of the Lamb on PS+ to wind down.
One aspect that I thought was pretty cool for Chaos Bane was if one person is going through their skills or equipment to make some changes / upgrades, the other can still run to the next area and everyone will tag along automatically and you won't be forced to simply wait.
Considering most developers have thrown couch co-op in the bin, it's very
