Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a 1- to 4-player couch co-op action space shooter. Explore a colorful galaxy in a massive neon battleship that you control together by manning turrets, lasers, shields and thrusters. Only through teamwork can you triumph over the evil forces of Anti-Love, rescue kidnapped space-bunnies, and avoid a vacuumy demise.
This is easily one of the best 4 player couch co-op games out there that I've ever played, particularly when you specify "co-op", so no including cross-competitive/PVP things like Mario Kart.
I don't know if they made the Switch version easier for less than four people, but the corollary to that first sentence is that the Steam version gets pretty punishing if you are playing with *less* than 4 people.
You can also play with more than 4 people (lol), by having everyone else in the room yell things throughout the game :p Actually, it gets pretty helpful if at least there's a fifth person in the room who wants to "play" as "captain" and try to direct the chaos, because by later in the game set strategies of "you handle this and this" start to break down in a flurry of "I can't leave this turret or we're going to die, someone else handle it!" If there's someone good at it (without pissing off everyone else) who actually doesn't feel like she needs to be holding a controller herself to have fun directing/advising, that easily makes it a true 5 person game.
A group of us from work spent like 3 hours at a party doing nothing but playing this on a colleague's SteamLink with mostly XBox controllers, trading off controllers or just sitting and watching/yelling advice until things were winding down for the evening.
