If you’re looking for some hidden gems we did a pair of videos last year on indie co-op games: “15 Indie Co-Op Games You Might’ve Missed” and “15 Indie Co-Op Games To Put On Your Radar” We’d also recommend taking a look at our “Every Major Co-Op Game Coming in 2024” video where we talk about 30 games (maybe) coming out this year.

Well if you enjoy Action JRPGs, I recommend the Tales Series. Most games have co op. If you want to play Arise in Co-op, there's an easy to install mod for pc that runs seamlessly on the game. It's as simple as turning on a 2nd controller when you play, and if you're alone, it's plays as if the mod isn't installed. I highly recommend it.

I don't trust your list. Monster Hunter World plays horribly in co-op because of cutsenes, so Rise should be in it's place. And Endless Dungeon has really low user reviews, so I don't see how it could have gotten into top 15. Risk of rain 2 has pretty much no co-op mechanics. I played a lot of it and just can't remember anything we actually cooperated on with friends. The best you can do is put down turrets that have healing as Engi. Nobody Saves the Worlds has terrible ability switching.
@TheCoOpBros2 ай бұрын
Some of those are fair points, lists like these are going to be very subjective. To us Monster Hunter World has enough highs to make up for some of those issues like the cutscenes and such. Taking on a super hard monster like Nergigante and that feeling of beating it together by the skin of your chin is something that's stuck with us! Similarly, a game like Risk Of Rain 2 may not have super deep co-op mechanics but is simply really fun to play together and is also another game that fosters that feeling of camaraderie when you're in the toughest difficulty and doing everything you can to get through it together. When it comes to Endless Dungeon, I don't think it's fair to judge it only on it's user scores. The game received an 8 from IGN and PC Gamer while smaller outlets like God Is A Geek and Attack Of The Fanboy gave it 9s. Hard disagree on Nobody Saves The World, we think they nailed the ability mechanics lol

Obviously this list is subjective, but in my opinion DRG is way too low on thet list. First point - unlike a few of the other games showcased there, DRG was specifically designed as a multiplayer experience, and the cooperation is implemented directly into the design, while in most singleplayer games with multiplayer it's just two characters instead of one doing the thing you normally do. Second point - system requirements. Me and my uni friends are able to enjoy the cave-dwelling dream-job simulator all together, because the game is very well optimised and can run even on low hardware. It is extremely accessible because of that alone, and 100 hours in, the actual gameplay still feels like we're only just starting to get the hang of it. Plus the weapon variety is drawn out, so we're still getting new content to enjoy and experiment around. Rock and stone miners!

DOS 2 was way more enjoyable than BG 3 as a co-op game for me and my friend. The main reason is the combat system. You have very few levels for characters in BG 3 and often the levels are super boring. Classes like barbarian, rogue and fighter were especially boring with very limited skills. The loot is also mostly boring and you rarely find something better than what you already have. We've played through DOS 2 like 3 times but I doubt we'll ever play BG 3 again. BG 3 was also incredibly easy and we had to mod the game so that all enemies had +200% health and it was still mostly too easy. Sure the story was better in BG 3 and everything outside combat, but when I play a co-op game, the combat is the most important thing for me.
