What are your favorite split-screen co-op PC games? (sh.itjust.works)

My wife and I like to play games together, but PC devs often skip couch co-op options. For example, I bought Halo Master Chief Collection because I know Halo co-op is legendary and I never really played Halo growing up, nor did she. But the PC version specifically doesn't have split screen co-op where the console version does.

We already own and play Stardew Valley, Outward (fantastic game if you aren't aware), and Civ 5 (we prefer it over 6).

So what other options have you enjoyed that I may have missed?

My girlfriend and I both have computers (i built her a gaming PC so she could move off her laptop). The games we have enjoyed are Halo (no local co-op), Overcooked 2 (local co-op available), The Escapsists 2 (local co-op available), and "Keep talking and nobody explodes" (only 1 person needs the computer other is reading material helping them). Games we play together with co-op but we need to be on our own rigs are Apex legends (if we can call that Co-op), Starship troopers Extermination, Deep Rock Galactic, Left 4 dead 2, Satisfactory, The forest, Terraria, and Call of Duty BO3 custom zombies.

Honorable Mention: Old School Runescape. I grew up playing this game, played it again in college and got my girlfriend into it as well and now we both play often. It can be played on PC or even has a very well made mobile client that lets you play the same game on mobile. (be careful, the joke is that the game is called Run-Escape, since it tends to pull you in like a crack addiction lol)

Love overcooked 2. Just be able to laugh at your mistakes!
