Games, sometimes, are best experienced with a friend or two by your side. These games in particular are more than just another way of keeping yourself entertained, and will put your friendships to the test in some cases (It Takes Two, I’m looking at you). Whether your thing is gunning down hordes of monsters, building a beautiful farm together, or simply trying to survive, we’ve delved into some of the best co-op games of all time to convince your pals to explore.
Gaming can be a very solitary activity at times. You boot up Elden Ring, and before you know it, you’ve not spoken to a single person other than Ranni for 10 hours. However, gaming is also one of the best activities for connecting with those close to you, and in some cases, it can make or break a friendship (a few of my own friendships have been very much tried and tested by It Takes Two).
Co-op games are an absolute treasure because of this. Massively multiplayer games can certainly have the same effect, however, there’s something about being able to curl up on the sofa with a buddy and blast through a couch co-op run of Borderlands that makes co-op games privy to hosting much more heart-warming memories than, I hate to say it, my hundreds of hours with Valorant and Dead by Daylight.
