WGTC:
You don’t need to do any research on Starwhal to realize what Breakfall’s primary inspiration must have been. Once you’ve got your hands on a controller and experienced the ludicrous flip-and-flop mechanics of the titular narwhals-out-of-water, you know: this is a game meant to recreate those multiplayer nights, gathered on the couch with your friends, laughing so hard you find it difficult to breathe. It’s a bright, endlessly silly indie with love showing in every inch of screen space, and that makes it kind of hard to fault in any sort of serious critical way. If you’ve got some friends with great senses of humor to join you on the couch, you’re in for a real treat. If not, well, you might want to wait to jump in.

Double XP highlight a few great games to play as a couple.
Glad to see Borderlands on there! Those are me and the wife's favorite games to co-op.
Honorable mention:
Until Dawn
Although it's not a coop game, it is still a nice game that can be played with a partner or even a friend or family member. I played this game with my oldest niece and she quite enjoyed the experience.
I really need to pick that one up, I've heard nothing but positive response about it from the community. I don't know what's taken me so long to get it.
It's a great game! Well worth the $20 and it's frequently on sale for less than that
It's underrated.
Some people don't like it because it's cheesy, but that's what makes the game all the better.
Overcooked is a great game if you want to yell at your girlfriend like Gordon Ramsey

In an era where local multiplayer games are harder and harder to find, Starwhal is a great love letter to those of us who used to spend countless hours playing games such as Madden, Mario Kart, GoldenEye or Tekken with our buddies.
Unusual, though? Absolutely. You are after all, controlling narwhals. In space.
