Games Like Ion Assault (2026)

Shared: Couch Co-op

A wobbly physics puzzle platformer where you guide a clumsy ragdoll named Bob through surreal dreamscapes. Chaos is the mechanic, not the bug.

Shared: Survival Mode

Six years post-launch and still receiving free updates, this physics-driven engineering sandbox rewards the players who treat it like a second job - and quietly destroys weekends for everyone else.

Shared: Couch Co-op

Soccer with rocket-powered cars sounds gimmicky until your first aerial goal, and then you lose four hours without noticing. Free-to-play with a Metacritic 86, this one earns every minute of your time.

Shared: Couch Co-op

Gorgeous on the outside, brutally unforgiving underneath, Cuphead is the boss-rush couch co-op that will bond you with a friend or destroy that friendship entirely, probably both in the same session.

Shared: tier:sub-5

Russian roulette with a 12-gauge and enough item-based mind games to make pure luck feel like a skill issue. Dirt cheap, brutally short, weirdly hard to put down.
