Sometimes you need a hand to hold, so we’ve updated our list of the 25 best co-op games to play on PC with a headset-wearing friend or a muted stranger. Whether solving puzzles, sneaking, shooting zombies or stabbing mythical creatures in the face, the existence of another player adds an element of unpredictability. You might synchronise your stealth takedowns and execute the perfect plan, but it’s just as likely that your co-op partner will constantly alert the guards and throw your situation into chaos. Luckily both success and failure are more compelling when you can take credit for the former and blame someone else for the latter. Our criteria is our own. We’ve excluded competitive multiplayer games that require cooperation, for example, so you won’t find Dota 2 in the list.

However, anything that has a co-op mode counts, even if it’s a game chiefly thought of as being about its singleplayer or competitive modes. Now let’s hold hands and together we’ll go on a magical journey through the land of correct opinions.

Remember, your comment will live on forever, so make it a good one. “No Game X?” isn’t useful. A brief explanation of why Game X is wonderful absolutely is. Nauallis says: lol, you have Far Cry 4, but not Dying Light. I argue this because Far Cry 4’s main missions cannot be completed in co-op. While your buddy can join you for nearly every antic possible on the main map, the story mission lock-out makes some of the tougher, longer missions more of a slog. Don’t even get me started on the boss fights when you visit Shangri-La.

Dying Light, on the other hand, features similar open world, parkour, and a similar map (though smaller, but more detailed). Except for the first and the very last mission, every story mission and every quest/subplot/fetch mission is available to play with up to 3 friends. Not only does this entirely change the way you play, it makes harder difficulties substantially more fun: running around in the dark and in the rain becomes an adventure instead of merely a terrifying sojourn into your nightmares. Leafy Twigs says: Best co-op game ever was World of Warcraft. My partner and I decided to play again after some years away from it. I rolled a paladin and she rolled a priest. And we went all the way to level cap duo-ing dungeons originally meant for five players.

Some of them were challenging, especially since we decided to skip heirlooms. But it was some of the best gaming experiences I’ve had. Yelling across the room at each other with ideas after our 6th wipe. Barely pulling off a victory when most of the dungeon bosses were 3 levels above us. And then mixing and matching other classes. Could a hunter and warlock make an effective dungeon team, even when the only heal spells are “mend pet” + “healthstone”?

Warrior and druid? Double rogues? The combos felt endless. What was easy with one combo, was tricky or near-impossible with another. Never ran out of ways to challenge ourselves. Best of all, leveling was fun again.

No mindless grinding. No dealing with obnoxious randoms. Just the two of us against the world (of warcraft). Moraven says: I met my SO and many friendships through World of Warcraft. We raid together as the 2 tanks for the guild.

Being able to communicate tank swaps to someone a few feet away plays differently. For starting out long distance, we sought out other games to play beyond WoW. Titan Quest, PixelJunk Monster and Heroes III co-op maps. PixelJunk has been our favorite TD and it has seamless co-op. You can even both dance on the same Tower to help boost it quicker.

Someone will stay to boost a tower while the other would go pick up coins and gems. Defense Grid does not have that same co-op experience. SnipperClips and Affordable Space Adventures on Nintendo hardwave have provided unique co-op puzzle solving experiences.

Mp3 Rocket V6.0.7 Pro Final Full [exclusive] on this page. Most of Nintendo’s platformers (Donkey, Mario, Kirby, Yoshi) have provided co-op the past few releases. Nixitur says: Some of my favorites are as follows: Monaco Basically, you and up to three friends do a heist on a place.

There’s vastly different characters to choose from, so ideally, it becomes like Ocean’s Eleven, with the Redhead leading away a guard while the Cleaner knocks out the other one and the Locksmith quickly opening up the door to escape. In reality, it’s rarely like this. You’re a bunch of bumbling fools constantly trying to get out of whatever scrape you’ve just gotten yourself and your friends into. And it’s great! Magicka Imagine giving yourself and up to three of your friends thousands of possible, absurdly powerful spells. Now explain the basics of how they work. Now turn on friendly fire.
