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!

Torchlight 2 and 3 are fun looting co-op experiences.

If you’re into souls-likes, try “Stranger of Paradise”

Its fantastic, nobody has heard of it for some reason. I played this last year with a friend and it was really fun (if you’re into that playstyle)

Darksiders Genesis was also very fun with my little cousin, more hack n slash, one player gets to be pure meelee and the other half meelee half twin stick ranged.

Sniper Elite (4?) is pretty good as a chill co op FPS mission progression game.

Otherwise, probably any survival craft will do, you already played a few. I enjoyed Valheim and Planet Crafter and wish Subnautica had Multiplayer.

Since you enjoyed BG3, I’d strongly recommend Divinity: Original Sin 1&2 if you have not played them already.

Other than that, a few random suggestions with sizeable coop campaigns:

  • Outriders
  • The Ascent
  • Remnant 1&2
  • Resident Evil 5&6
  • Saints Row 3&4
  • Trine 1-5
  • Valheim

I own DOS 2 from back when it came out, does DOS 1 still hold up? Would it be better if we just played 2 either way?

Both are great games, with 1 being a little rough around the edges but still very playable. The gameplay is different enough that it’s worth playing them both imo. Story might be better if you play 1 first, but I played through 2 first, then went back later to play 1 and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

I probably vehemently disagree with some recommendations to play BG 1 and 2 btw, your mileage may vary. It requires very specific builds and knowledge of DnD, or lots of trial and error. You can easily build a well rounded group and find yourself unable to progress because of lacking one very specific thing. If that doesn’t sound to annoying, it might be worth a shot. If nothing else, rolling characters is fun.

Well, OP could always play BG1 and BG2 which are still two of the greatest games ever.

ShepherdPie ,

Dark Souls 1 (remastered) & 3 along with Bloodborne are good options.

ImplyingImplications ,

The “We Were Here” series is a fun puzzle co-op game. The first one’s free if you want to try before you buy.

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

I believe the entirety of the Gears of War series has a co op mode

Also if you don’t know anything about the series like I did before playing Gears 5 with my kids, don’t play it with kids…

PlateUp can be fun in 2 player co-op. If you’ve played Overcooked, its basically a clone of that, but turned into a roguelike. Its not the longest or deepest, but its still solid, and the price is very fair IMO, esspecially if you get it on sale.

It’s a very different experience, but have you considered Baldur’s Gate 2?

Nostalgia ,

Diablo 4

Trail ,

Path of exile is superior.

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

Peffse ,

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

Peffse ,

Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2

Edit: Oh, Neverwinter Nights

AChiTenshi ,

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.
