TimeSplitters 2 Co-op Story Mode Netplay 60fps
youtu.be
Best viewed in 60 fps. I'm player 1 and Mark is player 2. A code was used to correct the aiming system and this makes the game easier. Timestamps are below.O...

(the app is forcing me to put a link so I put Timesplitters 2 gameplay cuz this is mostly a text post)

Hi everyone! I’ve been feeling frustration about games lately, remembering experiences I had as a kid playing co-op story games with my friends, like Timesplitters and Destroy All Humans, etc.

Modern multiplayer games sometimes have some co-op elements, but many of them are party games like Human Fall Flat or Among Us, or big Battle Royales or Multiplayer shooters. The co-op ones seem to only be survival games like The Forest.

I’m always looking for good co-op experiences to play with my friends, but it’s hard to find what I am looking for. I recently played It Takes Two with my partner and that was so wonderful.

Does anyone know any games like what I am looking for? It seems these kinds of games are so few and far between, sadly.

    You probably played it already, but if you didn’t, Portal 2 has a Co-op campaign and it’s really good.

    I’m a bit surprised by your premise, games with local co-op have certainly almost disappeared entirely, but I haven’t noticed a trend in online co-op. Some good ones off-hand (that haven’t been mentioned). These are in descending order if my personal playtime as a rough proxy for how good I think they are.

    Have you played Deep Rock Galactic? It’s a wonderful games where you play a dwarf mining things, fighting off bugs while you do it. You play in a group of up to 4 people trying to complete your objectives together.

    I find it really hard to explain what makes it great, so you’ll just have to trust it’s avid fan base!

      Tried it with my wife, but unfortunately the game got frustratingly hard pretty quickly…

        I recommend giving Plate Up! a look. As good as it is, we also found Overcooked incredibly overwhelming/frustrating. Plate up is much better in that area, we feel. It eases you into the more hectic situations and you actually have agency over the design of the restaurant.

    We recommend V Rising. It’s an ARPG (Diablo-like), but with big focus on base building.

    You mine, you craft, you build a cool looking goth castle, and then you hunt enemies or bosses using your upgraded weapon and new skills. It’s very fun. You can spin up a local server and modify your own server/game rules to increase progress speed (as some features are designed for a 24/7 server, and your game only advances when it’s running, so some speedups are necessary)

    If you and your partner enjoy RPG’s, I highly recommend Divinity: Original Sin (and Divinity: Original Sin 2, though we haven’t finished that one yet). Very story-driven, the tactical combat is a blast when you get into strategizing and collaborating, and there are all sorts of non-combat shenanigans you can get up to as well (the second even more so than the first).

    The Trine series is a fun 1-3 player game with a nice story and a few puzzles to play trough.

    If you want to explore and do story on the side i can also always recommend Guild Wars 2. Base game is f2p so worthy of a look IMO.

    Use the Local Co-Op tag on Steam and you can filter them down pretty well. I played through these with my wife. They were a ton of fun. I put an asterisks beside my favorites.

    It Takes Two*
    Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (with the Legacy of Kain DLC)*
    Secret of Mana Remake*
    Unravel 2
    Full Metal Furies*
    Castle Crashers*

    These are good too.

    Helldivers*
    Road Redemption
    Rampage Knights
    Broforce
    Streets of Rage 4
    Huntdown*
    Any WORMS game, WMD is great.
    Overcooked
    Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime*
    Speedrunners
