All in all, Starwhal is an excellent couch multiplayer game that'll doubtless be a house favourite in many establishments. The frantic yet simple action keeps the game accessible to newcomers, but is chaotic enough that it will take a lengthy amount of time to get stale. There's a fairly meaty amount of content being offered as well, with five game modes, thirty stages, a few dozen challenge levels, and literally thousands of costume combinations awaiting players. For only twelve dollars - at launch - you'll be hard-pressed to find a more enjoyable game that can be played with multiple people. We'd highly recommend that you pick up Starwhal, call a few friends over, and engage in a highly competitive session of space narwhal combat.

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.
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.
