Best split-screen PC games with controller support (self.gaming)

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.

People have mentioned it yet, but I want to second It Takes Two, such a fantastic game! Story might not not appeal to everyone, because of relationship drama and a particular scene, but younger kids tend to ignore it and gameplay is a blast anyways! (Platinum'ed it with my then 8yo son.)
Death Squared is a great cooperative puzzle game for 1, 2 or 4 players.
The Overcooked! games are really nice coop games, albeit more and more chaotic the further you move on.
Moving out is similar to Overcooked, but haven't played it myself.
ibb & obb is such a cool lo-fi coop platformer.
Shift Happens is another cool coop platformer, and costs almost nothing.
Unravel 2 is another gem in coop platformers, with quite a moving story.
Pikuniku is very cool for younger kids, and a very funny game, too!
Minecraft Dungeons is a nice Diablo clone, but not that dark and suitable for younger players.
You can't go wrong with Tetris. I personally like the Puyo Puyo Tetris variants and Tetris Effect.

Moving Out is a meditative game. Also a contemplative one depending on where you're at.

Seconding Overcooked, with the caveat that you'd better have a strong relationship with whoever you're playing with, because it will test it. It really is incredibly fun, though.

And having just looked at the trailer for Moving Out, I might have to try that with my partner if we ever exhaust Overcooked.
