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!

Earth Defense Force. You can probably get 4.1 on a sale really cheap and that could be a decent introduction to the series as a whole, it also has the best overall story tone in my opinion, made of 110% grade B cheese

If you two enjoy it and don’t feel burnt out, you can later get EDF 5, which has several QoL updates compared to 4.1, but tends to have a higher price.

Subnautica can be played together using the Nitrox mod

nitrox.rux.gg

If you don’t mind an MMO subscription fee, you might try A Tale In the Desert:

www.desert-nomad.com

It’s fairly niche, and it’s been years since I’ve played it, but it seems to still keep an active player base. It’s much more cooperative than most MMOs, with very little PvP. It’s like the whole community is working together to build a civilization.

Wow, I didn’t realise that was still about! I’m tempted to go check it out again!

Co-op is making a comeback!

Playing right now:

  • Helldivers 2
  • Hunt: Showdown

Ideas based on games you mentioned:

  • Divinity 2
  • Remnant
  • Wasteland 3
  • Crayta
  • Medieval Dynasty (haven’t actually tried coop on this yet, but single player was great)

Interesting team dynamics:

  • Deep Rock Galactic
  • Lethal Company
  • Rimworld (Coop is wild)
  • Aliens: Fireteam Elite

Surprisingly Engaging:

  • Journey to the Savage Planet
  • Golf with Friends

Nintendo:

  • Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3
  • Contra / Contra 3 (I think there is a new one coming)
  • TMNT Turtles in Time (There is a new TMNT already out too)
  • Bubble Bobble

Keep coming back to it:

  • StarCraft II Coop (free to play now)
  • Diablo II Resurrected (still better than III/IV/Last Epoch/Grimm Dawn etc.)
  • Portal 2 (lots of challenges to complete)

Pikmin 3

Elden Ring with the Seamless Coop mod looks like great fun if you enjoy that type of game. I’ve wanted to try it for a long time.

Popping in to suggest Ship of Fools and Cult of the Lamb

Ship of Fools was shorter than I’d like but lots of fun. Currently playing through Cult of the Lamb co-op and and we’ve been having a blast

My wife and I just finished Super Mario Wonder. It was a lot of fun. Every level has a weird psychedelic section that completely changes the players or the level temporarily. It shakes it up and gives a lot more variety than the other side scrolling Mario games.

You can play Stardew Valley in multiplayer co-op mode, it’s also quite cheap at $14, it’s available on every platform and even has excellent Linux support

Weird to see someone mention Linux support on Lemmy.

Super Mario 3 is pretty sweet

Serious Sam - almost any version!

Ark survival evolved is something my husband and I enjoy playing together that’s quite fun. The base building and dino taming together is very enjoyable if you’re on a private server.

If you give this one a try, make sure whoever is hosting sets their server to private and invites the other person via steam. Otherwise you might get randos.

Project Zomboid. Feels like a Sims game with zombie and great survival elements. Arguably, the best zombie survival game to hit the market. Supports split screen couch co-op.

Came here to say Zomboid!

Also, OP, dont be afraid to jump straight into mods. You dont have to fuss with a single file. Right from the start, inside the client, you can join modded multiplayer servers. The mods are automatically installed and applied then and there. Zero setup! I say this because a whole heap of mods are strictly quality of life and they really ease the learning curve.

However, picking and choosing your own mods for your own server is the headache you might expect. Let some saintly admin do all that work for you.
