Hey everyone. I’m in search of games I can play with 1 or more friends. After my experience with ‘A Way Out’ I wish there were more co-op games like that. Anyway, I’m hoping to get some recommendations. It doesn’t need to be story-driven, just something that you think is a lot of fun and could provide a decent amount of hours of entertainment.
Co-op games we’ve played:
A way out, Far cry series, Halo MCC, Minecraft and I’m sure there’s more but i can’t remember off the top of my head.
@anon63424221 and I played Minion Masters as a team today - it’s pretty fun, but I dunno if you already have it. Usually, they give out freebies codes for new card packs.
I’m sure that @YQMaoski, @Fraggles and @Pylinaer can think of many more.
A quick list of games I know are good co-op games, most of which I have unfortunately not been able to try myself yet.
Aragami
Battleblock theater
Degrees of Separation
Divinity Original Sin 1+2
Mercenary Kings
Moon hunters
Outland - If you already have it, sadly not for sale anymore.
Portal 2
Risk of Rain 1+2
Terraria or Starbound
The Trine series
Warhammer: Vermintide 1+2
Overcooked series
Worms series
Jackbox series
Castle Crashers
Move or Die
Enter the Gungeon
Cuphead
Broforce
I guess not all of those are strictly co-op but they’re all pretty fun!
Here are a few I like that were not mentioned before:
Wow so many options to look at thanks everyone!
Some of these are online or local-only multiplayer:
Multiplayer in the Steam/PS4 versions is restricted to Online Only; It’s only available for Explorer’s Island, a place where you can build anything from scratch. You’ll have to progress the story to a certain point be able to access it.
The first game in the series doesn’t have multiplayer.
ie. Harry Potter, Marvel Super Heroes 1/2, Star Wars (they’re all getting a remake titled The Skywalker Saga, which includes all 9 movies in a single game), etc.
Awesome thanks for the info. I can’t wait for Skywalker saga, I hope it has actual online co-op this time around. Actually now that I’m thinking about it I wonder if I could use radmin to trick the game into thinking its local multiplayer or LAN I guess. If LAN is even an option.
Castle Crashers hasnt been mentioned yet.
I second these choices:
Borderlands (any)
Castle Crashers
Magicka
Overcooked (either one)
Personal recommendations:
Portal Knights (cutesy Minecraft)
Sacred 2 (dated, but still fun)
Steam Remote Play or Parsec will also work
@FacuBlues got you covered there.
Things I know about (some are Steam remote/local play only)
Battleblock Theater
Broforce
Castle Crashers
Cat Quest II
Children of Morta
Crypt of the Necrodancer (recommend local play)

Farm Together

Helldivers
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Left 4 Dead
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Magicka

Portal 2
Risk of Rain 2
Rocket League
Serious Sam (if it supports it)
Spelunky
Tales Series (if it supports it)
Trine

Also have a look at the Co-op tag or designation on steam.
Some games I haven’t seen mentioned:
ibb & obb - short co-op platformer puzzle
We Were Here - f2p 2 player puzzle, requires mic communication
Sniper Elite 2,3,4 - Tactical shooter, snipers, stealth
Tick Tock: A Tale for Two - 2 player puzzle that doesn’t require direct online connection
Resident Evil 5 - as long as you are ok with the controls, this is a fun co-op tactical shooter
Dungeon of the endless is a great game i recommend it so very much but it is not similar at all to the ones you have played together. It is a tower-defense resource-management strategy game
Im actually surprised nobody mentioned Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
You can play it the same way you play A Way Out.
Because it’s not a co-op game?
I played that one, I actually bought it thinking it was two players but it wasn’t.
The Trine series is the best co-op games for 2-3 people, granted you will hate each other afterwards.
We already hate each other… We play Mario kart.
Excellent you will have a similar experience there. Like in most multiplayer games.
This. Been playing this a lot with my bf lately, it’s such a good time.
