Every little piece of crafting is a mini-game all of its own. And that&#8217;s where I come unstuck.<\/p>\n<p>From a growbag in the corner of a hotel room to heat lamps set up in abandoned bungalows, to live the American dream you&#8217;ll need to quickly and efficiently optimise your grow rooms, scaling up at lightspeed and managing multiple different strains of product to meet customer&#8217;s needs. I am, frankly, terrible at that.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s where co-op, and my friend Robin, comes in. Robin has a preternatural skill for organising that knows no bounds. After playing this for five hours, I&#8217;m not entirely certain Robin isn&#8217;t running a cartel in <em>his<\/em> spare time. Even more seriously, I&#8217;m not certain Robin has left our in-game production facility for anything more than buying soil and baggies since we started playing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"sdjyhnMGWHvc8qJynqFtHj\" name=\"schedule 1 get pseudo\" alt=\"Schedule 1 pseudo - The connections page showing the relations between characters, highlighting supplier Shirley Watts.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/schedule-1-is-my-favourite-co-op-game-of-the-year-because-it-lets-me-bully-my-friends-into-doing-the-hard-parts-for-me-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: TVGS)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Somehow, despite our completely different interests, we&#8217;re both having the time of our lives. My job is to make sure there&#8217;s cash in the ATM and to pick up the shopping list of gear I&#8217;m being sent into the world with. I can guess why we need weed seeds, sure, but I don&#8217;t know why I have to bring back an inventory full of energy drinks, viagra and horse semen and at this point I&#8217;m too scared to ask.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m not certain Robin has left our in-game drug production facility for anything more than buying soil and baggies since we started playing<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>I&#8217;ll never have to. We each play to our own strengths. I take most of the risks, using a skateboard and Schedule 1&#8217;s warped physics to evade police checkpoints. I deal, I manage our external contractors to make sure they have enough product for our more distant clientele, and I also keep an eye on what&#8217;s selling so I can tell Robin what we need more of. In addition to running our sales and project marketing, I&#8217;m our chief fun officer, picking up new skateboards, baseball cats or even a couple of comedy hats to keep morale high.<\/p>\n<p>My partner, meanwhile, spends his time growing plants and stuffing them into mixers to make new, wilder, strains. Which is why I&#8217;m out there trying to sell things like Dark Bud, Weekend Ass and, er, Strawberry Monkey to my clientele. As someone who can&#8217;t order a pornstar martini without getting the giggles, this is intolerable cruelty. It&#8217;s repaid though, because I&#8217;m the one who sees our clientele go bald. I&#8217;m the one who sees them go from pink-eyed baristas to low-gravity astronauts.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"sbR7bMfAeHjFDc7LaNjJrc\" name=\"Schedule 1 Mixing Station Recipes\" alt=\"A mixing station for drugs in a videogame\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/schedule-1-is-my-favourite-co-op-game-of-the-year-because-it-lets-me-bully-my-friends-into-doing-the-hard-parts-for-me-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: TVGS)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The best co-op games are well crafted and let everyone have their own job and own mechanics. Think Operation Tango or It Takes Two. The thing is, handcrafted co-op is hard to make and finite. Sandboxes like GTA Online have their own version in the heists, but Schedule 1 is so wide-open, so desperate to do just about anything it is you desire, it&#8217;s refreshing. Yes, we could both grow or both sell, but as we want different things from our games at 9 pm in the evening, Schedule 1 is offering us both what we need without compromise.<\/p>\n<p>The feeling of a loosely defined role is part of why I fell hard for Content Warning too, as my friends often let me play as the camera man, which I often played as a mix of Attenborough-esque documentarian and YouTube monster. But Schedule 1 has a much wider possibility space, such a big range of different activities to take part in, that it feels like I can really get lost in it, picking up the bits I like while leaving those that I don&#8217;t to someone else. Running drugs, buying weapons and escaping the cops? That&#8217;s my thing. Schedule 1 is letting me do as much of it as I want.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ZBWKxSfZyfPDEe6qf3bYVj\" name=\"schedule 1 pseudo get use\" alt=\"Schedule 1 pseudo - An old man in a wheelchair outside a yellow house at night.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/schedule-1-is-my-favourite-co-op-game-of-the-year-because-it-lets-me-bully-my-friends-into-doing-the-hard-parts-for-me-3.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: TVGS)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The problem, then, is that there&#8217;s one area neither Robin or I want to bother with.
