Nine Parchments

A game where you go to throw a perfectly aimed Frost Bomb... Only to freeze yourself and your partner. Gauging distance is a must.
When one is surrounded by multiple enemies... One shall use every available spell to take 'em down. In the end your co-op buddy is so engrossed in smacking enemies... That he doesn't realize that he managed to kill you as well. Ensure that you remember that you aren't alone and that your partner is somewhere... Amidst all the chaos...
In certain areas, you might be doing well... Constantly moving and keeping enemies at bay... Only for your foot to slip and you end up falling backwards into a crevice that blended in rather well with the background... Leaving your partner to deal with a horde of mobs. Watch your surroundings! They aren't always to your advantage.
There are so many more accidents... So many other things that may happen... Not all bad. Sometimes they are happy accidents. But that's for you to figure out... If you so choose to play the game. :3
After exploding enemies, including your own face with a giant fireball or zapping/stunning the sheet out of your partner when all he is trying to do is put an end to that one annoying Boss... You are bound to learn a thing or two, and become a far better player.
As for the rest... Hijinx ensue in real life as well...!

This is a really fun, approachable couch co-op twin-stick shooter. It has a fun theme and lots of collectable items, upgradable skills, and unlockable characters, that encourages replaying earlier levels. It has rock-paper-scissor game mechanics that encourages the team to work together when fighting monsters, and it is fairly forgiving when players screw up. We have had a lot of laughs with this one, and it feels like we accomplished something, even when we only managed to unlock a hat of stun-resistance.

I have MANY hours played on this game for Nintendo Switch.
This game deserves a spot in everyone's library. It is the perfect couch co-op and party game. It is super fast to drop in and drop out of a game in progress and you're literally playing a bad wizard so the fact that there's friendly fire shenanigans is appropriate. BY THE WAY you CAN turn off friendly fire if you want. You can also switch to reverse friendly fire, where if you hit a teammate you take the damage instead.
The art is charming, the gameplay is smooth and intuitive, and the fun is infinite. At your next party set up a four player game, have someone always manning player one, and set out controllers for players two through four. Anyone can walk up and push a button to instantly join and the same button instantly drops no matter where you are. This has been a huge hit at every gathering we have hosted and even the non-gamers give it a shot and have a blast.

perfect game for a chill session with friends (with lots of replayability too!)
can just throw them a controller and everyone will be able to pick up right away. no learning/teaching needed which is great for when your friends are too stupid to use technology! xD

Scratches the Magicka itch and has a fun campaign to do with friends! The progression system for unlocking character variants is cool as well.

Getting it on sale is more worth your while, and lets you buy 4 copies for your friends without hurting the wallet too much

a PvPvPvCO-OP game is the last game i would have expected. but this game is amazing.
so wtf did I just write?
at first glance this game is supposed to be a co-op game however teamkilling has penalties in regular playthrough and this game has unironically amazing PvP.
during the playthrough with 3 of my friends we took more damage to each other than to the enemies. On average there were like up to 100 teamkills per map we were on because it was just too damb funny grieving each other.
the gameplay definitly got the old Magika vibes. Just without crafting your own spells but picking from a list. movement feels great. i can highly recommend this game with 4 players. especially ones that dont mind griefing each others.

Good game but the arenas are too small and it's hard in co-op not to kill each other or yourself, it gets boring too quickly and I still haven't managed to collect all nine parchments.
