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!

Games I enjoyed playing with my then-gilfriend:

  • Castle Crashers. 2.5D side scrolling action
  • Skyrim Together, although this requires at least one of you to have a decent level of understanding to get things to work smoothly
  • ibb & obb, puzzle
  • Portal 2, puzzle
  • Shadow Puppeteer, puzzle

Chiming in to confirm: ibb & obb was a whole lot of fun

My time to shine! My wife is notoriously picky about games. You didn't specify local or online co-op but most of these have local if not online since we prefer to only need one copy.

  • Apico
  • Death Road to Canada
  • Door Kickers: Action Squad
  • Dysmantle
  • Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 (some of the Lego games around this time are also fun)
  • Mother Russia Bleeds
  • Nine Parchments
  • Party Hard
  • Riptide GP: Renegade
  • Road Redemption
  • Slipstream
  • Super Mega Baseball (any of them)
  • Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia (I use the keyboard to type, she moves the character around with her controller)
  • Traveller's Rest
  • Trine
  • Unravel 1 & 2
  • Vampire Survivors
  • Wizard of Legend

Don’t Starve Together

My wife who is a huge Minecraft fan has been playing stardew valley with me.

She also loves the portal 2 coop

Not played most of the games you mentioned so not sure this’ll be your thing, but I’ve gotten back in to Sky: Children of the Light recently and it’s been great.

It’s beautiful, f2p (ad free!!!) on a bunch of different platforms, and going in as a pair will give you a head start since it has a social aspect and is designed to occasionally get players to cooperate (though you can play alone just fine, I do most of the time and cooperate with and befriend other platers). It’s mostly chill and you can take it at your own pace and make what you want of the world - follow the spirit guides and play through “proper” or fly/run/swim around and discover things on your own. You can use skills like playing instruments and taking photos, decorate your own or shared spaces, customise your character, chat to people from all over, or just chill in your favourite spot.

If you don’t mind horror games, the entire Dark Pictures Anthology and The Quarry are really fun shared stories with branching paths.

ABCDE ,

Are they local or online co-op?

EvilBit ,

Both! And the way they work is different based on the fact that locally you can both see the screen but online you have different views.

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.

ShepherdPie ,

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

solarvector ,

I didn’t see these in the list:

Wyldermyth - indie fairly unique story building campaign with turn based tactical combat.

Wastelands 3 - post apocalyptic RPG with good story, choices, and characters. Great tactical turn based combat. Other than the other Larian games this is closest to filling the BG 3 shaped hole.

Halo Master Chief Collection; 1 - 3, Reach, and ODST are amazing co-op. We’ve played through all of them multiple times. 4 is… disappointing.

Pappabosley ,

The dynamic story telling in Wyldermyth is fantastic, love interesting character arcs that can develop.

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.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

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
cm0002 ,

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…

PlzGivHugs ,

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?
