Hilarity can ensue at any moment with a collection of pirate items on hand like a banjo and hurdy-gurdy for sea shanty sing-alongs or a tankard for some booze-based camaraderie. If creativity was electricity, It Takes Two power an entire town. The result is a game that always feels fresh, and always encourages its co-op partners to figure out new ways of working together. And most importantly, everything is built around the idea of cooperating with your partner, as it literally cannot be played alone.
Instead, the most important part is goofing off with your friends and pretending to be rock stars together, an experience Rock Band delivers in ace of spades. For those that continue to virtually rock, we salute you. Like so many others, this was a very tough list to cull to just 10, with games like Resident Evil 5, Destiny 2, and the aforementioned Borderlands and Halo games just missing this list for one reason or another.

YES NO. Was this article informative? In This Article. Divinity: Original Sin II. Release Date. The game is simplistic to pick up, making it playable by anyone who'd want to. That simplicity helps feed into how addictive it is. Playing for thirty minutes can quickly end up being a few hours with how the game sucks the player into it. It's too fun getting to hack through enemies— and occasionally your friends, at least when it comes to earning a princess's love. Left 4 Dead is one of the pinnacles of co-op shooters.
It can be played with up to four friends and takes players through a variety of scenarios where they have to survive the zombie apocalypse. At first, it seems pretty simple as the zombies are more than manageable. That all changes when rescue is on the horizon.
The players are bombarded with hoards of zombies and infected , making escape a true challenge. The special infected only ramp up that difficulty, providing far different challenges than normal zombies would. When it comes to co-op games, the top of the heap is always going to be Borderlands.
It's the ultimate looter shooter and practically invented the genre before "loot" became a dirty word in the video game industry. In Borderlands , up to four players get to select a vault hunter who comes with their own special talents and skill trees. It makes replaying the game multiple games more fun and gives the group of players more variation.

No exaggeration: the introduction of wave-based, co-op multiplayer touched nearly every shooter that followed, and the first time out, it—and Gears 2 as a whole—felt like a revelation.
There are no mouth animations, no 3D display options, and certainly no TressFX. But Guardian of Light manages to capture everything I love about the Tomb Raider series—puzzles, exploration, open space—in a bite-size portion that I can play with my brother. Will I ever have as much fun as I did when the first Left 4 Dead came out? Groups of friends split into teams of four every night for weeks, carefully coordinating how to hack, shoot, smoke and boom each other into pieces.
No game since has matched the deep satisfaction of cackling like a mad-man over voice chat while vomiting bile onto a close friend.
