(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.

    Use the Local Co-Op tag on Steam and you can filter them down pretty well. I played through these with my wife. They were a ton of fun. I put an asterisks beside my favorites.
    Darksiders Genesis*
    It Takes Two*
    Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (with the Legacy of Kain DLC)*
    Secret of Mana Remake*
    Unravel 2
    Full Metal Furies*
    Castle Crashers*

    These are good too.

    Helldivers*
    Road Redemption
    Rampage Knights
    Broforce
    Streets of Rage 4
    Huntdown*
    Any WORMS game, WMD is great.
    Overcooked
    Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime*
    Speedrunners
    Shadowgrounds
