if truly given a chance, i would like to try something like overcooked or overcooked 2. Though I must say that the anxiety build up is there. But I believe that this game is better played with another mate, than solo which i have been playing all my games on. Even Cat Quest II or Cuphead would bring some good experiences.

Cat Quest II will be a perfect entry game for my wife, so I can Introduce her to the world of gaming!

I am most looking forward to playing Hexen with my Brother, we absolutely loved playing that game in the 90's.
It Reminds me of das where we hang out everyday and hat fun.

Cat Quest 2

I loved Cat Quest 1 and the possibility of co-op just sounds amazing!!

Baldurs Gate 3 with my long-standing party of friends - we all completed Divinity 2 together and we had a blast! Itching for more of the same :)

Look forward to playing Cat Quest II with my girlfriend, who's stuck abroad and we just learned she might be terminally ill.
That game really keeps us together and focused on the time we still have.

I'd like to play cuphead with my friends to see them break apart the controller in frustration and anger while equally experiencing the same.

I would like to play "It takes two" with my fiancee (soon-to-be wife). She has never played any "serious" video games, apart from the first "Super Mario" and the first "Adventure Island", so I am hoping that this would ignite her passion for video games. :D

I hope to soon play Endless Legend (one of my all time favourite games) with some friends, as I just recently realized a few loved the game, & introduced others to the it!

Can't wait to play Halo Infinite with my girlfriend, which is not on here, but otherwise I'm excited about Darksiders Genesis!

My daughter just turned 7. For 7 years she has listened to the Monkey Island music playing on my phone as an alarm and ringer, seen Monkey Island desktop images on my computer and listened to me quote a game she knows of but could never play because she was not yet reading. The time I spent with my older brothers playing this series around the time of my parent's divorce was profoundly meaningful to me and helped me to see a humorous side to an otherwise hard time. Needles to say, my appreciation for this game and those times with my brother runs deep. As such I very much look forward to sharing the Monkey Island series with my beautiful silly daughter. It is an odd humor that I feel she will greatly appreciate (much like her odd dad) and puzzles are something we have always enjoyed together.

Modding
More Modding
and Modding tools
and the amount quality Mods available
and what else? Support for Modders to get into Modding

I don't have a specific answer to the game to play with together with a friend.
Every great quality game out there for me depends on the degree of mod support and ability to mod and the ability to use cheats to enhance the gameplay. Great coop games for us me + friends depends on the quality of mods available to us.
Using Cheats in like FF7 - 10 enhances gameplay and work around solutions for nasty bugs like Pandora's Box...

Since the focus is modding I shall stick with that...

UE4+Unity Engine Games are good starting points.
Others like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Stardew Valley, and Valheim are all good choices cause of mods.

Modding allow you to take an old game and use HD textures to make it look pretty so the graphics doesn't feel that awful.

Modding allows Single player games like War for the Overworld to allow Co-Op with my friends.

Modding allows Single player only games to share our creativity and mods with other friends as we sit next to each other in a PC cafe and play our games with mods side by side enjoying the fruits of our labor.
Eg. RE0 - RE3 with active modding communities and editing our own personal customizations to the mods that already exists makes the games even more enjoyable with friends despite being a Single Player.

Modding allow you to play an older games over and over again and it stills doesn't get old when you are playing with friends
Eg. Grand Strategy games from Paradox like EU4 and CK3 contain many countless quality mods that help me and my friends play for many times over and it preserves the game play quality cause of good quality modding community as it said before prevents it from getting old.

Modding allows YOU to play the game with your own flavor and tastes and you get to share that with friends.
Eg. Conan Exiles using mods allow you to play the game in custom map zones using custom RP specific features with a small group of friends that without modding you cannot do.

Modding support + Mod tools allows:
Adding custom NPCs
Custom Item
New looks for those custom items + custom stats
New maps
New monsters
More custom variety content like quests
To make the overall gameplay all that much better and you cannot do those in modern day "blizztard" games
Less grinds... Grinding is just not fun it makes gameplay a painful chore like many MMOs or U Be Sh- (Ubis-)

For 10+ years I been playing many games with modding and once you start you really cannot go back. Since you get used to modding so much that playing without mods feels too bland...
Just to name a few more...
Dragon Age Origins that allows the Toolset to build custom NPCs and levels like more allies to the Climax battle that DA2 and Inquisition cannot do.
Just a group of friends doing this one project together then seeing the final results makes the game much more enjoyable.

3RD Generation for Dark Crusade
Ultimate Apocalypse for SoulStorm
Both of these preserves the Warhammer 40K DOW gameplay cause it's there's only a few (way too few) well done game that allow you to play as other faction other than Space Marine or the Imperium. And my friends agree with me that those who don't play SM had been deprived of a Warhammer game that is well done enough where you get to play as other factions that is NOT SM.
With Modding Warhammer 40K DOW is the best Warhammer 40K gameplay and user experience for coop so far. That is an old game that ages like fine wine.

And I still haven't got to the ridiculous yet mega awesome ones like MHW or Bethesda's FO4, Oblivion and Skyrim and I don't even want to get started in those ones. Heavens knows how long I'd stretch this post than it already has.

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance.
My brother and I played that (and the other games from the Dev) many aeons ago.
So it would be kind of nice to replay that. Sadly my brother is no longer capable of that however that nostalgia feeling does seem enticing.

I would love to play Cuphead with friends because it's been a tough year and Cuphead would be great for my mental state which has been amplified by this pandemic and not getting to see my friends or family to game.

We look forward to playing Thea 2. We have both enjoyed playing these types of games since we started computer gaming in the early 1980's. We take the opportunity for a little verbal smack down while soaking up some suds as we discuss the gameplay.
