Favorite co-op games

[KazaneHime]

I was talking with my co-op partner @TalesofGaming and realized we hadn't seen a suggestion list on here for co-op games, so I figured I'd start one!

 

For my list, these are the games we could play together over the internet. I ordered based on my enjoyment of them, but I recommend trying any with a buddy!

 

I would love to make a running non-ordered list of the best co-op games. I might make one using the PSNP+ extension if there is enough interest! Also very open to any suggestions for how best to lay this out.

You could probably list them as well by:

 

Single-player w/ co-op (i.e. Code Vein, Dark Souls)

Co-op Only (i.e. Operation: Tango, It Takes Two)

Single-player w/ online/separate co-op (i.e. Ghost of Tsushima with online DLC)

 

Just some suggestions. ☺️

 

As for keeping it up-to-date, you could always edit your main post with the whole list?

Great idea for a topic;

 

I'd like to add Risk of rain 1 and 2, never hear enough about these gems.

My favorites:

Dead Rising 2

Saints Row 2, 3 & 4 (I have yet to do a full co-op playthrough of the reboot)

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1&2

A Way Out

I think having the table is a great idea! ?

 

For reference- there is a pretty good site called Co-Optimus (https://www.co-optimus.com/) that has a lot of great info on the exact types of co-op / number of players etc.

 

 That has been a good resource for me when looking for games to play with my wife/ sister/ mates etc - listing whether it’s online or couch, how much is co-op vs. single-player etc…

… could be of some use to you too!
