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

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.
Excellent game but not a co-op game. The characters are split up on one controller and having only one person control both is pretty important plot wise for the ending.
Wow, I’ve been living a lie all these years. Haven’t played it, but I heard everyone saying its co-op. Little did I know… its a co-op singleplayer. Sad, because I was about to play it with someone…
Real co-op games I played and recommend is Borderlands 2 and Torchlight II.

I know many of these were already mentioned but was just listing some of the ones we have enjoyed.
Thanks again everyone for all the options, I’m still looking through them. Theres one game i found out about a while ago but isn’t out yet, but has a planned release for next month. ‘Isles of Adalar’ Its an open world co-op or single player game set in a fantasy RPG world. It looks really cool and has a demo on steam. I haven’t played it yet (Its downloading) They plan to support up to 4 player co-op in the future. This game also features amazing mod support and an in game level editor.
Not gonna lie i completely forgot about this game until today. When i was going through my steam wishlist and saw it there, it sparked that interest again.
This seems pretty good
[Edit: Wow I didn’t realize i had typed so much]
Okay I played the Demo. The game looks cool, it runs very well I got a solid 170 FPS. However I don’t really like it now. The movement is very strange, combat is quite annoying. i went with the default stuff mostly, so i got the knight class right click was shield attack was left click.
Here’s the main thing I didn’t like about it, you’re character does some strange lunge forward attack. So after I got out of the main area there was a group of I don’t know bandits or something. Because of that lunge attack I would always be sent into the middle of them and all of a sudden I was being hit from all sides.
In the menus there was so much going on it was overwhelming. Text all over the place, boxes everywhere. The camera movement sucks. When you go to loot something it resets to a default position, getting close to walls had affected it in a strange way as well, I don’t know how to explain it.
Default brightness was very low, I had to up it to max so see in some areas. Character creator had limited options, which in some cases may be a good thing, but from what was there, the human was the only one that had a bunch of options, maybe in the full game there will be more for the other races. The level up screen was basic, not a bad thing but the amount of skills was another thing that was overwhelming. There were so many to chose from.
Oh and back to those bandits, they ended up killing me, and the screen said ‘YOU ARE DEAD’ but nothing was happening. I couldn’t do anything but open the pause menu and select the options there, the YOU ARE DEAD actually got in the way of one of them, anyway I ended up just closing the game since that was pretty much the only option I had.
Now for the things I did like. Smithing,enchnating, alchemy, there all simple and straight forward. The land itself was very nice, it looked like something that I would want to wonder through aimlessly. The traits to your character, well a couple of them seemed really cool, like this lore master trait allowing you to discover a lot of the lore in the universe (Also a very easy way to get your speech skill up). The other traits however all seemed to revolve around bribery, intimidation or debate. So i think there needs to be more variety there, unless of course the traits are suppose to only revolve around speech.
To end things off, the game looked really cool with a lot of strange charcvers, 2 player co-op (4 in the future), mod support, level editor, and many more things but over all in this demo that was not a good first impression of the game. Hopefully things will improve by the time it launches, but as of right now this isn’t a game I’ll be buying any time soon sadly. I was really hoping to have another really cool medieval fantasy type game, and one i could enjoy with friends.
Most of what I would suggest would not be PC-related and/or console-exclusive…
(most of my gaming experience is console gaming after all)
If via Steam or any other distro platform, I can’t really say that there are any that I can attest to on a personal level, but I can say from non-distro platforms that there are a few likely not mentioned gems I would recommend a try.
THUG Pro (A well-made and maintained mod that uses THUG 2 for the code base)
Pokémon Crystal Clear (a well-made and maintained ROM hack that turns the game into an open-world experience and is link compatible as well as original hardware compatible)
GT2 Plus (An ISO mod of the PAL release of Gran Turismo 2-currently Simulation Mode only-that has two levels of modding, one that removes all the bugs but keeps everything vanilla and the other that fixes all the bugs but adds a lot of removed content)
