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

Hello all! My buddy and I finally finished up Baldur’s Gate 3 this week and we are not left with a giant co-op game shaped whole in our hearts. It was such an incredible experience and it was truly even more fun running through it together. We are excited to hop into another game, but we have no idea what to play. We’ve played a lot, and some games we’ve finished or tried recently included:

Borderlands 1, 2, and 3
Minecraft, Terraria, Vintage Story
Raft, 7 Days to Die
A Way Out, It Takes Two

I’m posting here today to ask if any of you have some suggestions for co-op games we could check out! I’ve Googled for suggestions to no end and 90% of what’s there is games we’ve already played. If anyone has any recommendations for us they would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

~ Hyrulian

Outward is pretty fun (and at times bs and challenging). It is also not that long of a game to finish. The soundtrack is also good.

I have a co-op buddy too and heaps of good suggestions from others here. Two that I’ve been enjoying as 2 person co-op:

Wartales: started this after completing BG3 and it was a real interesting change in thinking. This is fantasy party adventure, but you run a team of mercenaries, so it’s more about the team build and strategy, rather than the specific character focus that you have in BG3.

The Wild Eight: an isometric survival, crafting, set in a plane crash in the snow. Some story, discovery elements included.

Not played most of the games you mentioned so not sure this’ll be your thing, but I’ve gotten back in to Sky: Children of the Light recently and it’s been great.

It’s beautiful, f2p (ad free!!!) on a bunch of different platforms, and going in as a pair will give you a head start since it has a social aspect and is designed to occasionally get players to cooperate (though you can play alone just fine, I do most of the time and cooperate with and befriend other platers). It’s mostly chill and you can take it at your own pace and make what you want of the world - follow the spirit guides and play through “proper” or fly/run/swim around and discover things on your own. You can use skills like playing instruments and taking photos, decorate your own or shared spaces, customise your character, chat to people from all over, or just chill in your favourite spot.

Dark Souls 1 (remastered) & 3 along with Bloodborne are good options.

PlateUp can be fun in 2 player co-op. If you’ve played Overcooked, its basically a clone of that, but turned into a roguelike. Its not the longest or deepest, but its still solid, and the price is very fair IMO, esspecially if you get it on sale.

It’s a very different experience, but have you considered Baldur’s Gate 2?

  Path of exile is superior.

The Division 2 is fantastic co-op and often gets put on sale.

It’s an old game, but Pixel Junk: Monsters is a ton of fun as a co-op tower defense. Don’t bother with the sequel - s’bad.
