The best co-op games: Top 7
Cooperative games are entertainment that teaches teamwork. Playing with a live person is much more interesting than with an artificial mind. The selection details the 7 most popular variants presented in different game genres.
Gunfire Reborn
We begin our rating with an unusual shooter with RPG elements. The game supports co-op with up to 4 people. There are no special rules for co-op playthrough. It is enough to stick together, watch each other’s back and periodically resuscitate fallen companions.
Despite the cartoonish design, the game has complex mechanics. With each successive level, the monsters become even more difficult. Computer opponents are not stupid, so you will have to make every effort to destroy them. There are many traps in the locations, which it is important to jump over the platforms correctly.
Gunfire Reborn has a huge number of weapons. They fall out of every dropped monster. Each crossbow or cannon has its own critical damage characteristics with the ability to be pumped. Players will need to puzzle over which one to keep.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes
A game in the genre of cinematic horror is almost not scary. The action takes place in an ancient Sumerian temple lost somewhere in Iraq. Players must make it through until morning, battling monsters all night. Victory depends on the correct choice of each participant.
In The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes there are two options for cooperation. In the first mode, the connection takes place via the internet, in the second – via local network. The game can be played by up to 5 people at a time.
Valheim
An interesting survival simulation takes players to the land of the Vikings. The hero finds himself in the world-prison Valheim, filled with monsters. He has to find food, set up shelter and kill monsters that prey on humans.
The team mode in Valheim stands out positively from games of a similar genre. In order to level up your hero, fruitful collaboration is important. Friends make it easier to take down bosses and level up equipment faster. Armour and resources can be shared.
Diablo II: Resurrected
It’s still Diablo II, but with better artwork and music. It’s all about killing the main villain, Diablo. Over the course of the game you pump up your character’s skills, collect and upgrade your equipment. Hordes of monsters and story bosses must be destroyed on the way to victory.
Diablo II: Resurrected is best experienced in co-op. The game has a huge map, so it’s easier to move around in your company. Players can trade weapons and consumables dropped from monsters. Together, it’s easier to defeat bosses and advance to the next levels.
Farming Simulator 22
A realistic farming simulation that tackles all aspects of agricultural development. The player spends time managing the financial account, choosing equipment and buildings, seeds and livestock. Improper choices or storage will cause crops to die and machinery to fail.
Farming Simulator 22 is easier and more fun to play in co-op. Up to 16 friends can be invited into the game. Participants can take over vacant plots by becoming farmers, or work together. In the latter case, responsibilities are shared between the players, making it easier to develop the farm.
GTFO
A hardcore shooter that is best played in co-op. To survive, gamers must use resources wisely. Ammo is scarce, so to kill a monster you must shoot specifically at the head. The monsters are deaf, which is why players need to keep their voices down. A horde of congeners will descend upon the squeal of a single creature.
GTFO is a survival co-op. The team must be cohesive and skillful. The four members must work as one. If someone slows down, they will die themselves and ruin the rest of their comrades.
It Takes Two
An interesting game that is originally designed for two-person co-op. The simple mechanics of It Takes Two gradually become more complex in the early levels. Players evolve as they level up their abilities. Once a tool’s skill level is maxed out, it is exchanged for an interesting skill.
The game has many challenges and fast changing locations. Competitions are not difficult, but require the players to work together as much as possible. Participants must rely entirely on a companion to solve the problems.
