DIGITALCommunication is key to good cooperation according to In Sink from Clock Out Games. A solid puzzle adventure, In Sink requires two things to work well. Being able to communicate clearly, and thinking a bit laterally with puzzles.
There’s a new challenge around every corner, and it will take all of your combined brain power to make it to the end. Some of these puzzles can be particularly tricky and will take you more than a few minutes to solve. If you enjoy escape room themed games then we heavily recommend In Sink.

For those that enjoyed other automation games but were looking for something a bit more sci-fi, then grab Techtonica.
Carry The Glass
Exactly What The Name Says
Sometimes you just want a quick game to dive into with a friend, something that doesn’t demand a huge time investment but still offers a good laugh or two. Carry The Glass fits that niche perfectly, though be warned - it might test your patience and your friendship along the way.
The concept is simple but chaotic: you and your partner must work together to transport a fragile glass across a series of increasingly difficult obstacles. The slightest misstep or bump will shatter it, forcing you to restart from the last checkpoint. As the pressure builds with each level, so does the tension, right up until the final delivery - assuming you both make it that far intact.
Limbs
Puppet Pal Theatre
Get ready for some lighthearted chaos and bickering in Limbs, a whimsical co-op puzzle game created by the inventive team of Moritz Goldi and Dominik Wursch. This imaginative title brings a quirky, handcrafted charm that’s hard not to love.
In the game, you and a friend control a floppy string puppet navigating a storybook-style kingdom filled with toy-like scenery. While the visuals are cozy and inviting, the gameplay demands real coordination, as even the simplest actions can feel hilariously difficult. If you enjoy games built around clumsy teamwork and laugh-out-loud moments, Limbs is worth checking out.

One wrong move or miscommunication will see you both falling to your dooms (or near-dooms, depending on the game mode you choose), so your bond will truly be tested.
Each area has its own obstacles to get through, so you can never get too comfy. You can play with up to three other friends in local multiplayer, so if you're up for an experience that's as stressful as it is fun, Chained Together is for you.

SUBSCRIPTIONUnlike most games that simply drop you in an open world, Core Keeper is one of the few games that relies on you actively deciding the world you want to explore. You're initially dropped in a small room with some necessities, and you have to mine your way through everything. While there are some random open rooms, they're scarce and spread far away from each other.
Featuring a bird-eye view, this game is the perfect blend of open-world, survival, and farming simulator. As you progress further, you can automate the farming of almost every resource in the game, and the process of doing that is quite fun and engaging as well.
