Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

  Has nobody mentioned Barotrauma? Had a few hundred hours of fun with this, my buddy and I. Especially if you don’t mind shit being a bit shiny. It is unique, and it keeps on giving.

  Unraveled 2 is a beautiful and fun game for 2 people.

  Wildermyth is an awesome indie RPG that I’ve had a lot of fun with as a two-player coop game. It’s a turn-based dungeon crawler with a strong focus on role play and party dynamics.

  I hear great praise for Across the Obelisk as a coop game from my friends, although I personally bounced off of it. It’s a roguelite deck builder like Slay the Spire, but with multi-player, lots of meta progression, and a heftier time commitment for each run.

  Gunfire Reborn is a roguelite looter shooter that’s a blast in coop. I think it’s still in Early Access, but what’s already there is enough for me to be happy with it as a full game. To me it’s a spiritual successor to Borderlands in combat and gamefeel, but without the grinding.

  Serious Sam - almost any version!

  Ark survival evolved is something my husband and I enjoy playing together that’s quite fun. The base building and dino taming together is very enjoyable if you’re on a private server.

  If you give this one a try, make sure whoever is hosting sets their server to private and invites the other person via steam. Otherwise you might get randos.

  Cat quest 2 if you like cat puns and something casual. (Cat quest 1 is single player and doesn’t (really) connect to the storyline of the sequel)

  Since you played all Borderlands and just finished a D&D game, why not play “B&B” on Borderlands, there’s a game called Tiny Tina’s Wonderland which plays like Borderlands but is set in “medieval” fantasy (but still has gun for some reason)

  Sea of Thieves.

  My recommendation for two people is a Brigantine, just for challenge.

  You’ll fight better in a Sloop, but a Brigantine is more fun to operate for two people.

  Outward is made to be played by two players. It’s a really beautiful survival rpg with difficult combat.

  Rayman Legends.

  Solasta crown of the magister

  Steam link

  • MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I love solasta to bits but I think it will feel really bad to play directly after BG3. You need to have a lot of love for DnD and the jank of indies to enjoy it all the way

    • Smashfire@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Agreed, we played it after BG3 and it sure felt like a B rate movie but would still recommend to add to the list

  If you don’t mind horror games, the entire Dark Pictures Anthology and The Quarry agree really fun shared stories with branching paths.

  • ABCDE@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Are they local or online co-op?

    source

    • EvilBit@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Both! And the way they work is different based on the fact that locally you can both see the screen but online you have different views.

  If you’re into souls-likes, try “Stranger of Paradise”

  Its fantastic, nobody has heard of it for some reason. I played this last year with a friend and it was really fun (if you’re into that playstyle)

  Darksiders Genesis was also very fun with my little cousin, more hack n slash, one player gets to be pure meelee and the other half meelee half twin stick ranged.

  Sniper Elite (4?) is pretty good as a chill co op FPS mission progression game.

  Otherwise, probably any survival craft will do, you already played a few. I enjoyed Valheim and Planet Crafter and wish Subnautica had Multiplayer.

  The “We Were Here” series is a fun puzzle co-op game. The first one’s free if you want to try before you buy.

  I believe the entirety of the Gears of War series has a co op mode

  Also if you don’t know anything about the series like I did before playing Gears 5 with my kids, don’t play it with kids…

  Grounded

  Abiotic Factor. It’s basically a co-op Half-life.

  There’s a game on Kickstarter called Outbound. It’s in alpha access right now.

  The game looks like it’s literally Raft in a camper van. Haven’t tried it yet but I plan to.

  Core Keeper comes out of Early Access soon I think and should be up your alley

• Dnb@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I’d highly recommend Stolen Realms. Pretty cheap too

  It’s a hex grid turn based game. You can have up to 6 characters (difficulty scales per character) and can each control as many in the party as you want. Turns are taken as enemy, and players with the players able to act at the same time so you aren’t waiting too long if you are communicating about what you want to do.

  It has multiple “classes” with skill tiers that require you to take a few from that “class” but you can spec however you want.

  The roguelike mode is very fun for quick sessions and will reward you with a choice of random skills and armors after every fight, but it also saves if you need to go and play later.

  Outriders. And a bit more tame but Unravel 2 for in-person.

  Prodeus is still EA, but it has a solid first episode with good Co-op gameplay if you’re into retro style shooters.

  If you really want to go old school, OG Doom from 1993 and Bungie’s Marathon Trilogy(1994-96) support co-op. I haven’t tried Doom yet, but you do need to be technical to figure out Marathon co-op.

  I enjoyed playing Toodee and Topdee with my roommate. Fun puzzle game. Can be played singleplayer or multiplayer. store.steampowered.com/app/…/Toodee_and_Topdee/

  Minecraft Dungeons is also quite fun for co-op. store.steampowered.com/app/…/Minecraft_Dungeons/

  Since you mentioned Vintage Story I’m gonna go ahead and praise that suggestion. A game truly worth supporting! Developed by only two people, with a huge dedication. Game has a lovely community too. Definitely give it a shot 👌
