I'm looking for some fun PC games I can play with my wife/nephews. I'm therefore looking for PC games that support split screen with controller support. Any genre, but preferably games that can be played by someone no older than 12. Will be playing them on a ROG Ally connected to a TV with xbox controllers. Interested in any genre.

My partner and I are huge fans of Boomerang Fu, and have enjoyed it with a couple of friends too - it's same-screen local co-op so hope that still works. Very easy to pick up, and lots of fun!

Ultimate Chicken Horse is a really fun party game!

Towerfall, ultimate chicken horse, gangbeasts, stick fight, overcooked are some of my personal favorites. All easy couch coop or competition 2-4 player games. Also keep talking and nobody explodes is a figurative blast, but I don't know how well a 12 year old would do with the communication needed there... might be able to handle it.

The new Lego Star Wars is really really good and has fantastic drop in/drop out multiplayer. Also a fan of TMNT Shredder’s Revenge for co-op

Ultimate Chicken Horse needs to be on this list. It’s a competitive platformer where before each round, everyone adds a piece to the level. You need to make it hard enough that someone doesn’t finish, but easy enough that you finish. If everyone finishes, no one gets points.

Very fun, possibly my favorite couch game.

Seconded, I love UCH so much. One of my favorite multiplayer games, I've never had anything but a great time with it.

It Takes Two was an absolute blast with my wife

Anyone have any idea how well the game works on a Steam Deck? Would love to play it docked to my TV but I've heard EA's launcher causes some problems on the SD.

We played it on Nintendo Switch, a far weaker device, at stable 30fps (slightly worse resolution than screen size but not too bad after you get used to it). Barring weird EA stuff should work great on steam deck

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I figured that would be fine, just worried about the EA stuff.

That game is great fun. Also their other game, A Way Out, but that could be a bit mature at points for young children.

Loved The Way Out as well as ait Takes Two.
