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

Hello all! My buddy and I finally finished up Baldur’s Gate 3 this week and we are not left with a giant co-op game shaped whole in our hearts. It was such an incredible experience and it was truly even more fun running through it together. We are excited to hop into another game, but we have no idea what to play. We’ve played a lot, and some games we’ve finished or tried recently included:

  • Borderlands 1, 2, and 3
  • Minecraft, Terraria, Vintage Story
  • Raft, 7 Days to Die
  • A Way Out, It Takes Two

I’m posting here today to ask if any of you have some suggestions for co-op games we could check out! I’ve Googled for suggestions to no end and 90% of what’s there is games we’ve already played. If anyone has any recommendations for us they would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

A few I’ve played with a friend of mine: the We Were Here series, Portal 2, Monster Hunter World, Factorio and Deep Rock Galactic (which we both didn’t like, but it’s pretty popular)

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

Try out the Divinity Original Sin series, also produced by Larian. Different system and setting but it’s wonderful.

Cat quest 2 if you like cat puns and something casual. (Cat quest 1 is single player and doesn’t (really) connect to the storyline of the sequel)

Since you played all Borderlands and just finished a D&D game, why not play “B&B” on Borderlands, there’s a game called Tiny Tina’s Wonderland which plays like Borderlands but is set in “medieval” fantasy (but still has gun for some reason)

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

i’ll just add a few i haven’t seen yet:

  • Chained Together - running gauntlets while … chained together
  • Children of Morta - adorable graphics meet solid gameplay and vivid storytelling
  • Core Keeper - top-down Terraria with great pixel art, full release in a week!
  • Cosmoteer: Build your 2d-Spaceship and do what you want! Full workshop support with tons of available mods.
  • (hmm so much stuff starting with c, gotta change my game)
  • Element TD 2 - classic tower defense experience
  • Heavenly Bodies - Adventure game with physics!
  • Kingdom: Two Crowns - the right thing for chilling :-)
  • Necesse: even more Terraria, but with a huge world and settlements to build and manage. Still in EA, and needs polish, but great game even now!
  • Neon Chrome: Cyberpunk twin-stick shooter
  • Operation Tango: Asymmetric Coop, one is a hacker, the other is the agent on the ground
  • Streets of Rogue: “immersive sim”-top down twin stick action roguelite - i cant even describe it well, but it is heaps of fun and chaos can pop up around every corner!
  • Synthetic: twin-stick shooter with tons of guns and a hefty difficulty later on
  • Grim Dawn: ARPG, and one of the best in its class. Dated, but still updated (and gets a new expansion soon-ish!). community is running seasons which add new areas, items and whatnot! i’ve sunk 1500 hours into that one, so i am probably biased when i say give it a whirl.

Elden Ring with the Seamless Co-op mod. It’s not difficult or complicated to set up and it works extremely well

Sea of Thieves.

My recommendation for two people is a Brigantine, just for challenge.

You’ll fight better in a Sloop, but a Brigantine is more fun to operate for two people.

Since you mentioned Vintage Story I’m gonna go ahead and praise that suggestion. A game truly worth supporting! Developed by only two people, with a huge dedication. Game has a lovely community too. Definitely give it a shot 👌

Outward is made to be played by two players. It’s a really beautiful survival rpg with difficult combat.

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.

PunchingWood ,

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

Outward is pretty fun (and at times bs and challenging). It is also not that long of a game to finish. The soundtrack is also good.
