Lately I've been playing Portal 2 co-op with my nephew, and we just finished it. Now he wants to play something else together, but I'm not sure what to suggest. He suggested Unturned, but I'm not usually good at FPS style games and don't want him getting upset if I can't play as well as him and end up holding us back. Whatever we play has to be appropriate for younger children, so it can't be anything too violent for example. Does anyone have suggestions on good co-op or multi-player (2-player) games to play with children, preferably available for free? Bundle game suggestions are also OK though, since I do have a bunch of extras from my past purchases. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Edit: I forgot to say that we need online co-op or multi. My nephew doesn't live nearby, so local co-op/multi won't work for us.

How about the " Trine " series. It's a nice platformer with beautiful graphics and great gameplay.
Currently it has a 85% discount.

Warthunder, Warframe. Even though those are kind FPS'ish they dont demand much of fps skill like CS or similar. At least that how I see them.

How about Command and Conquer red alert 2? You can play skirmish togheter against eachother or in the same team against the computer. my friends kid plays it too. It is often for sale in a c&c pack for like 5 dollars. And its a very good game.

I will add one of my favourite games for co-op - Monaco.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot about the classic - original Contra for NES! Best game for manly co-op action.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to look into them more closely, but from the titles I recognize, there ought to be something in here that will work for us. More suggestions are certainly welcome though -- the more ideas I have, the better. :) Thanks!
