What are the best co-op games you enjoy? Anything from the modern games, to the old games.
For me, I’m aiming for PC games, or a game that can be easily emulated like PS2 games or GameBoy Advance.
Main focus, is that you are supposed to play 2 players or more (and are actually fun to play) with little to no internet. (Trying to prepare in advance)
Nucleus Coop (for Windows only unfortunately) makes lots of games that ordinarily don’t have offline splitscreen to work in that way.
Don’t worry. Linux has Wine and can often emulate windows games. Few occasions its even better framerate than actual windows. But not as common to see :P Great recommendation!
For playing with my kid I got:
Untitled Goose Game Pizza Possum Stardew Valley Shift Happens
Spelunky2 is good, up to 4 players.
Very hard but definitely worth persevering with.
Where is Raft in these lists?
Timesplitters 2 and 3
Portal 2
Ooo, i LOVE timesplitters! Awesome game! Wish more games today was less PvP online and more campaign co-op. That game is amazing.
Borderlands 2 is great for co-op, but I’m not sure if you can do local splitscreen if that’s what you’re looking for.
I’ve only played Borderlands 2 in local split screen co-op.
My favourite co-op games are:
Since OP mentioned it, how may of these can do offline co-op? I don't think DRG does, and it's the only one I've done multiplayer on (though it is otherwise a great suggestion)
Ah, fair, my bad - did not read that bit properly. I need more coffee this morning.
N+ for the xbone is pretty good. It’s very simple but addictive.
If you can emulate get Mashed: Fully loaded for the PS2
I used to play some monkey game at uni but we were always stoned so I can’t remember exactly. Mebbies it’s something like Monkey ball tennis? There was loads of games within
Call to Arms: Gates of Hell
A jewel we’ve found recently. It’s incredibly fun and vast
Brothers: Talle of Two sons - pretty cool as you can play on 1 controller.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 (OG) - have awesome memories with it.
Earth Defence Force 4 or 5 - over the top bug extermination and built in split screen even on PC.
Last thing I can recommend is Saints Row 2, 3 or 4 - but you need something like Nucleus to play on the same device.

Quake and Quake 2 have a bunch of co-op modes and they have been updated for crossplay on modern systems. I was just running some of the newer map packs with my buddies last night. Quake is $4 on Humble right now.
