(the app is forcing me to put a link so I put Timesplitters 2 gameplay cuz this is mostly a text post)
Hi everyone! I’ve been feeling frustration about games lately, remembering experiences I had as a kid playing co-op story games with my friends, like Timesplitters and Destroy All Humans, etc.
Modern multiplayer games sometimes have some co-op elements, but many of them are party games like Human Fall Flat or Among Us, or big Battle Royales or Multiplayer shooters. The co-op ones seem to only be survival games like The Forest.
I’m always looking for good co-op experiences to play with my friends, but it’s hard to find what I am looking for. I recently played It Takes Two with my partner and that was so wonderful.
Does anyone know any games like what I am looking for? It seems these kinds of games are so few and far between, sadly.
Here are some rough categories and hours included.
Builder / Survival
Sounded like you were not that interested in this genre but they can be fun co-op experiences.
Boss Encounters / Building
Played through V Rising with a friend, co-op pve, and it was a blast. We really enjoyed the different boss battles. We are going to revisit this one soon as they dropped / are dropping new content.
Exploration / Melee Combat / Story
Enjoyed playing Dying Light 2 with a friend, playing the game turned out to a mix of playing solo and playing co-op.
Platformer
Fox mentioned this and I’ll add it as well. Fun co-op platformer with some fun story telling aspects.
MMO
Fox also mentioned GW2 in the thread. There is a ridiculous amount of content in this game with no subscription required. Combat feedback/force has always felt weak imo but there is a massive world to explore and jumpy puzzles if you are into that (love them).
More story focused co-op
Also watching this thread as I’m curious what shows up. I haven’t played many games in this area on PC.
Can you expand about V Rising for Diablo and Stardew valley fans? Somehow I’m still on fence but sounds like great combo!
