I am looking to make some last minute purchases to play with one or more friends, and I have poked around Steam’s Co-Op page. I’m curious what new co-op games everyone on Lemmy is playing.
I just picked up Raft and Deep Rock Galactic the other day, but you can never have too many new (never played) games!
Can't go wrong with Stardew Valley for something chill and Terraria is among the best games ever made.
A big one I haven't seen mentioned here yet is Plate Up. The best way I know to describe it is roguelike Overcooked with more agency and a slower curve into the stressful moments. We much prefer it as a result. It's been getting free content at a pretty solid pace, too.
V Rising. similar to valheim, but vampires instead of vikings. fight bosses against the sunlight to unlock abilities, structures, crafting.
Halls of Torment. similar to vampire survivors, but with a very diablo 2 feel.
Gunfire Reborn. similar to dead cells/hades, but it’s a FPS.
Hyper Jam. the single best multiplayer arena brawler I’ve ever played. no decent matchmaking so you need a friend or 3, but it’s $4 aud in the sale. get your host to disable the confusion perk.
Agree with Children of Morta. I’ve been unable to find another 2-player coop game that hooked my friend and I like CoM did. The progression was well-paced and story elements sprinkled in felt organic. Definitely a recommend at the current sale price
I found hunt showdown to be way too serious and difficult lol. I’m trying to stay away from pvp shooters as well. Great game if it’s what you’re looking for though
You need a good group that can work together, coordinate, plan and work through challenging rooms.
You like stealth mixed with action. You’re gonna spend most of the time sneaking up on the sleepers with bursts of action if they wake up or when you have to unlock an alarmed door.
You’re gonna get your butt kicked. This is a difficult game that can end a run in under minute if you get too sloppy or cocky. But that’s half the fun.
You can set aside a good chunk of time for each game. An easy map will take an hour. There aren’t that many easy maps. We’ve gone 3 hours and failed a run multiple times. We also use the time to catch up with each other. We’ve spent 5 to 10 minutes in front of a door chit-chatting before clearing a room.
It’s bloody good fun, but you need a good group for it.
We played that one as well! We almost beat it I think. I will probably never forget the mosquitoes in that game because I found a beach with them a bit earlier than I should have and I proceeded to die more times than I can count trying to get my stuff back lol.
Not a new one I’m playing, but the Trine series are great 1-3 couch (or online, I believe) coop games. Only note is that the third game is pretty different from the rest, and also suffers from some over-ambition and under-delivering. It can safely be skipped, but I personally also like it, despite it’s flaws.
My group just finished Remnant From The Ashes, which was a pretty fun souls-lite with guns, and the sequel is due in a couple weeks. Other games we enjoyed as a group that I didn’t see mentioned already are Gunfire Reborn, Divinity 2, Wildermyth, Division 1/2, Escape Simulator, and Helldivers. All on sale for under $20 each
Big Starship Troopers vibes. Do you like accidentally killing your friends with grenades, mines, rocket launchers, driving over them with tanks, dropping drop pods on their heads, all in the name of killing bugs? Then this game is for your.
