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!

~ Hyrulian

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!! I'm going to compile a list and check them all out one by one!

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

I have a co-op buddy too and heaps of good suggestions from others here. Two that I've been enjoying as 2 person co-op:

Wartales: started this after completing BG3 and it was a real interesting change in thinking. This is fantasy party adventure, but you run a team of mercenaries, so it's more about the team build and strategy, rather than the specific character focus that you have in BG3.

The Wild Eight: an isometric survival, crafting, set in a plane crash in the snow. Some story, discovery elements included.

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.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

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 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)

[–] cordlesslamp 2 points 9 months ago

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)

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Serious Sam - almost any version!

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Unraveled 2 is a beautiful and fun game for 2 people.

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

You should try a wholesome cute game called Bread and Fred!!! It's got penguins!

[–] RabbitMix@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

BattleZone (the one from like 2016) is surprisingly fun and has optional VR support

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Prodeus is still EA, but it has a solid first episode with good Co-op gameplay if you're into retro style shooters.

If you really want to go old school, OG Doom from 1993 and Bungie's Marathon Trilogy(1994-96) support co-op. I haven't tried Doom yet, but you do need to be technical to figure out Marathon co-op.

Here's a co-op indie game I made for Windows PCs. $1.

Remnant 2 is sweet!

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 9 months ago

Outriders. And a bit more tame but Unravel 2 for in-person.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I enjoyed playing Toodee and Topdee with my roommate. Fun puzzle game. Can be played singleplayer or multiplayer. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1303950/Toodee_and_Topdee/

Minecraft Dungeons is also quite fun for co-op. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1672970/Minecraft_Dungeons/
