Personally, I picked up Space Marine 2, Astro Bot, Sifu (for free obvi), as well as Cat Quest 3, Thank Goodness You're Here, and Okami HD.

I tried the demo for Penny's Big Breakaway after watching the Dunkey preview video. I would have preferred more of the movement tied to other buttons than just different combos on square, so I did not pursue it further unfortunately.

Just finished Mario Odyssey and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze on the switch with my 4 yo Daughter. She mostly likes to watch, but I thought Astro Bot would blow her mind, and Cat Quest might get her to pick up the controller with me in Coop. Finger's crossed.

Played a bunch of Space Marine 2 with a buddy of mine and we promised to play the campaign together, unfortunately we haven't been able to match schedules recently. It's amazing though. Can't wait to dive in more. The others I'll get to soon enough.

How about all of you?

Those are fantastic picks for co-op! My partner isn't a big gamer unless it's a 2D Mario, Overcooked, or PlateUp lol. We played a bit of It Takes Two and it was great, but when we got to "chapter 2" where the gameplay switched up she fell out of it.

I also got her into Speedrunners because she's really competitive and likes to go fast. I'm hoping that the Astro Bot speed run levels will excite her.

Another one for co-op that could be good if you don't mind the theme is Cult of the Lamb.

. . . if you don’t mind the theme is Cult of the Lamb

That looks right down our alley. Thanks for the recommendation!
