Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change

Forgot about Gears. Yeah, those were awesome to co-op

[paradox@lemdro.id]

Gears 5 is still a tour de force of how to do a modern game. It's got cosmetics, customization, an acceptable (but not great) story, decent PvP, and imo the absolute best PvE. Nothing has managed to dethrone horde in 5+ years

If you likes it takes two, in march the same studio should release "split fiction".

Other titles that come to mind: cuphead, untitled goose game, overcooked (!), valheim.

Split fiction looks super cool!

I don't mean to advertise but I do watch this channel for inspiration gaming sessions with friends: https://youtu.be/ViCP7O9q-Vk ( co-op bros)

Arma 3 offers a unique coop experience due to Arma's nature. Worth a try if you have a group of friends to play with.

Bring back Army of Two lol

It makes me so mad when I see game on steam feature "online co-op" and in reality the co-op in game is "join your friend and help him sometimes as a guest" Dark Souls style. I swear me and my friend had to refund like 5 games recently just because it turned out all of them had that. Now we just play Valheim while waiting for something good to drop.

I'm sorry but if I've already paid $60 for a video game, I shouldn't also be required to make a friend just to be able to experience the entirety of the content this game offers, in the manner it was originally intended to be experienced.

Its a few released, these are last years:

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

Which games were those? I like that form of co-op as well, but I'd like to see a few tweaks compared to how From does it.

[fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com]

Ghost Recon. Outriders. There are more. And old games are still fun.

[whyausername_1@lemmy.world]

I have played It Takes two.
It did not require my friend to buy the game when we wanted to play together.
Further, the game was like 5$

[kelly@lemmy.world]

They are just joking about not having friends but the "in the manner it was originally intended" is particularly relevancy for dedicated co-op titles.

[linuxenjoyer@lemmy.world]

Monster Hunter Rise, Code Vein, State of Decay 2, there were some others but that's all I can remember right now.

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

That list counts very generously, even with those filters applied.

[pilon23@feddit.dk]

Our throats hurt from laughing when playing "Chained Together". It's short and cheap. We're happy we picked easy mode for the first play through since that's already quite challenging

[sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Railbound is a fun one

[whyausername_1@lemmy.world]

Oh dayum. Totally went over my head. Haha. Poor guy is getting down voted for no reason. 🥲

[sabata11792@ani.social]

Please devs, stop assuming I have 3 other friends.
