A comprehensive list of good co-op games.

Greetings! 

My spouse and I pretty much only play co-op games now. They are a great way to spend time together and have fun together. The problem is that we are running low on games! If anyone has any recommendations then that would be appreciated. I'll list a number of them below that wee have played (and mostly liked). Feel free to add to this list so that we can get a good master list going! I would organize this, and may at a later date, but right now the task is too daunting. I will try to include my thoughts on the game as well.

If you can think of any others then please add them! Always looking for more games to play with the spouse. 

 

  • How is It takes Two not on this list? 

    Since it is October, I would also recommend Phasmophobia, Inside the Backrooms, Killing Floor 2, and V Rising. 

  • I haven't played any of those yet. It takes 2 has been on my list for a bit though so I think it's time to buy it =) 

    Thabks for the other recommendations! 

  • Killing Floor 2 is an older game but a good co-op game with colorful visuals and animations. I like The Division 2; it's another older game. Nice list btw! Good luck ! 

  • Thought I added to this thread, but Trine is a good RPG/co-op game whether it's couch or online. There's 3 or 4 out now I believe and you can get the first three as a bundle I believe.

  • deep rock galactic
    how about some side scrolling beat em ups? Streets of rage 4, shredders revenge, castle crashers
    gauntlet slayer edition

  • Include both Guacamelees and Crawl and Broforce!

  • A way out!! It's kind of short but super fun! And there are some twist at the end too!

  • Good list. As well as the other replies in the thread.  I'd add Golf with friends with it's variety of player made courses. 

  • I noticed you've got 7 Days to Die on your list, and I have to say, it's a personal favorite of mine as well. The thrill of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies is just too good to pass up. And guess what? I recently came across some exciting news about the upcoming Alpha 21 update for 7 Days to Die. It's gonna bring some awesome new features and improvements! Oh, and speaking of the game, have you checked out the 7 Days to Die Mod Launcher? It's a game-changer when it comes to adding mods and enhancing the gameplay experience. Now, let me add a recommendation to your list. Have you tried The Forest? It's a sandbox survival game where you and your spouse can work together to build shelters, explore the mysterious island, and fend off hostile creatures.

  • We really liked Divinity 2. A nice, pleasant pace. Sometimes in co-op games one player tends to stop and smell the roses while the other zooms across it, barely reading the story. This one was a good mix.
