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

  Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2

    Do you find that NWN still holds up well today? I used to play it a lot when it first came out (first campaigns then dlc then persistant world servers), I haven’t really played the enhanced edition much yet, so just wondered.

    • Peffse@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      ooh, umm. I actually haven’t played it since 2018. I can’t speak for Enhanced Edition as that came out like a month after I completed the campaign.

  You should give Journey to the Savage Planet a try. It’s a 2 player 3D platformer metroidvania type game with upgrades and good humor.

  • Blackmist@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The sequel is on the way as well, with local co-op.

    Seconded.

  I’m currently playing V Rising right now with my wife after Divinity 2. We are LOVING it. Definitely give it a try!

  for local coop of course portal and as a bonus, kid safe, - it takes two, biped.

  If you don’t mind an MMO subscription fee, you might try A Tale In the Desert:

  www.desert-nomad.com

  It’s fairly niche, and it’s been years since I’ve played it, but it seems to still keep an active player base. It’s much more cooperative than most MMOs, with very little PvP. It’s like the whole community is working together to build a civilization.

    Wow, I didn’t realise that was still about! I’m tempted to go check it out again!

  Elden Ring with the Seamless Coop mod looks like great fun if you enjoy that type of game. I’ve wanted to try it for a long time.

• ngwoo@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Stardew Valley has really good multiplayer now. Might scratch some of that Minecraft and Terraria itch.

  source
• AChiTenshi@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  BattleBlock Theater is a good action platformer that has coop.

  Escape Room Simulator is a good 3d puzzle game that can be played coop as well.

  source
• Tedrow@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Check out Larian’s other masterpiece, Divinity: Original Sin II. Original Sin I is great as well, but a little dated.

  • Peffse@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Dang, I scanned the suggestions and didn’t see this one before posting!

  Can’t believe I hadn’t seen anyone mention “it takes two” great game, was free on Gamepass when I last played it.

      Not sure why you deleted, you’re right OP did say they had already played it, I just didn’t read that far 🤣 Grounded is my other suggestion. Or maybe Factorio or Across the Obelisk.

  Most of these have been mentioned before, but I’ll mention them again.

  Halo Master Chief Collection. Everything before 5 is local split screen. 5 requires two Xboxs. I would just avoid Infinite, but I believe it also requires two systems, maybe including PC.

  Diablo 3 is very accessible. 4 should be as well. I’m told Diablo 2 is the best, so I need to try to get back into it. All should be good options.

  Monster Hunter requires more patience. At least for World, cooperation is good but really the game is geared towards individuals being able to take charge as necessary. Track, set traps, bait, capture, etc. Multiplayer is VERY useful during fights though.

  Stranger of Paradise is kinda Souls-like but more forgiving. In my experience it’s A LOT more friendly to Multiplayer. It’s also a ton of fun with a friend.

  Psi-Ops: Mindgate Conspiracy. An old PS2 game. One person controls the body, the other controls the mind. Especially if you have a Gameshark and you can go Godmode.

  Ay of the old Street sports games were a blast back in the day.

  Older Twisted Metal for another old-school recommendations.

  I’m playing through BG3 with a good friend too, we’re actually planning on doing another, wildly different, playthrough when we’re done with this one. We’re playing sorta chaotic/neutral good right now and intend to do an evil campaign next with different characters and classes and possibly even modded.

  Now I obviously haven’t tried it yet but the game has so much hidden stuff, branching paths and different-to-play classes I’m fairly confident you can play it at least twice and have an almost entirely new experience!

  A couple titles that deserve mention and I don’t see in any other lists:

  Children of Mora - Narrative driven action RPG with some light Roguelite-ish elements. Amazing world building and story telling, good character choice/building and gameplay.

  Cassette Beasts - Pokemon, if it were good. Much more mature story, tons of quality of life systems that makes building things fun, a weakness system that matters a lot more than “number big” and the entire game is double battles. I’ve played the game start-to-finish in couch co-op and it was incredible. They’ve recently added online multiplayer, but I cannot say with 100% certainty that the online allows you to engage with the story together. Couch co-op has one player play as the companion character in an otherwise unchanged experience whereas online has one player character hop into another player characters world.

  Weird enough, the Monster Hunter franchise - I’m not sure how this isn’t anywhere else in this thread. Use large weapon to hunt large monster. Build bigger weapon to hunt bigger monster. World and Rise are both on sale on Steam right now. World is dumb to move through the story together though, despite the fact that most fans who aren’t me are likely to call it the better game.

  Dying Light

  • Pappabosley@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    But not 2, because the sequel doesn’t have true co-op

    • Gumus@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      What are you on about? I’ve played and finished the campaign and DLC in Dying Light 2 playing only coop.

  Nine Parchments - Top down Magic slinging romp. Similar to the Majica series, but with less knowing how to do certain key-press combos.

  Orcs Must Die 2 - 3rd person tower defense where you place traps and use spells and weapons to take down foes. Continues the story of the first game, which did not have multiplayer, unfortunately.

  Children of Morta - Top down dungeon crawler. Take on the roles of a family trying to hunt down an ancient evil. Like the Belmont’s of Castlevania fame.

  Full Metal Furies - Top down action fighter. Fight the Titans as some of the last remaining survivors of Ragnarok. Fun dialing with a good-sized world map to explore.

  Astroneer - 3rd person survival crafting on a randomized planet. Cute component designs and a unique air management system. Plays best with a mouse & keyboard.

  Deep Rock Galactic - Space Dwarves Corporate mining simulator. You and up to 4 friends drive do into infested planetoids in order to make some Gold. Destructible terrain and shenanigans.

    Is there any reason you recommend two specifically over three? I know there is a third Orcs Must Die game but I have no idea if the community considers it “good” or not.

    source

    • Clasm@ttrpg.network ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I haven’t played the third one co-op yet, unfortunately so I can only assume that it holds up like the second one does.

• EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  As of last week, Cult of the Lamb

• Blackmist@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Grab a PS2 emulator and give Kuri Kuri Mix a go.

  It’s by FromSoft of all people and it seems hardly anyone has heard of it.

  source
• soliloquy@startrek.website ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Popping in to add Ship of Fools and Cult of the Lamb

  Ship of Fools was a little shorter than I’d like but lots of fun. Currently playing through Cult of the Lamb co-op and and we’ve been having a blast

  • Zoomboingding@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    In the same vein, check out Klei’s new game Rotwood. I’m early access, but well worth the price, and will no doubt receive updates for years to come.

    source
• PunchingWood@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  For crafting/exploration/survival I’d recommend Valheim. Don’t judge it by its looks, the game is insanely fun with friends.

  source
• RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Assuming Steam?

  • Halo, obviously. Master Chief Collection is pretty cheap to pick up these days, don’t miss out on the Halo 3 ODST DLC.

  • Ready Or Not can be a challenge with just two people, but it is very rewarding to get a good score.

  • Zero Hour is very similar to Ready Or Not, but it has different features and I find it a bit easier.

  • Deep Rock Galactic

  • Risk of Rain 2

  • Elden Ring (Seamless Coop Mod is highly recommended)

  • Monster Hunter World (include Iceborn DLC)

  • Generation Zero

  • Project Zomboid (if you like this one you’ll probably sink hundreds of hours into it)

  • theHunter Call of the Wild (chill hunting shooter)

  • Farming Simulator 2019 (new ones may be better, haven’t researched)

  • Barotrauma

  • Factorio

  • Elite Dangerous

  • Green Hell

  • The Forest

  • Sons of the Forest

  • Morrowind has an OpenMW fork that supports multiplayer, if you get it set up this can be a fun game to play

• RabbitMix@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  BattleZone (the one from like 2016) is surprisingly fun and has optional VR support

  You should try a wholesome cute game called Bread and Fred!!! It’s got penguins!
