Call your friends and enjoy the best co-op games for PC.

Nobody and nothing - except a friend, can compare to a good blaster who also has a good blaster, then you have two blasters in total and you can detonate twice as much. This is the beauty of our favorite co-op games, whether it's online multiplayer. In recent years, the ranks of the best co-op games, such as the time-tested Left 4 Dead and Arma 3, have been replenished with new RPGs, shooters and insane cooking simulations.

This is our latest collection of the best co-op co-op games. Some can brighten your day, while others can brighten up entire months.

Dropouts from the main list

Vermintide borrows a lot from another game also featured on this list, or to be more precise, it's Left 4 Dead in the guise of Warhammer. Still, it focuses on smoother, more original hand-to-hand combat, and stunning special effects that make the game a worthy choice for friends when they want to crush a couple of ratlings.

This game is especially appealing to fans of the Warhammer Fantasy universe, which is well known in the gaming world. The main actions in the game will be: selection of dropped items and equipment that can be upgraded. So in the circle of friends, completing missions over and over again guarantees you a good pastime.

Warning - don't play KALIMBA with a new friend... While the game looks like a light-hearted puzzle game, it's actually a powerful tool for pushing the limits of human tolerance. Each player has two colored totems. Solving color-coded puzzles will not be difficult, it will be much more difficult to coordinate the actions for the jump, especially if you rely on your partner.

Despite the difficulties, it's amazing how intuitive Kalimba feels: watching someone else play is more exciting than picking up a gamepad yourself (for simplicity, it's better to use it). It's tough, but no problem can be solved alone, and every victory is shared.

Magicka 2 is good in every way, just like the original. Magicka 2 has fixed bugs, improved graphics, and added several modes to our favorite co-op. The only thing I didn't like was the casting system. Apparently due to the large number of negative reviews, the developers have added new elements of spells and casting mechanics to more closely match the original. In the sequel, even the most hardcore sorcerers will be able to enjoy brilliant magic battles with friends.

If Payday 2 is a mixture of good action movies, then Monaco is one hundred percent distilled from Ocean's Eleven. In Monaco, you have to do superb thefts, hence the excitement and tension, which in itself is the perfect combination for a good time with friends. This game is a bunch of all sorts of details, plans, and there is something so beautiful when you cut off the electricity while your partner distracts the guard.

Great RPG from Runic that got me off Diablo III. It had more Diablo than Diablo itself, and this crazy dungeon dive is even harder and more intense when you get in with someone. In Diablo III, the maximum number of players is four, and in Torchlight, you can gather as many as six. Too much? In a game where monsters explode and leave fountains of gold, “a little too much” is not the right word.

The Trine puzzle game about three characters came out of nowhere, just in 2009, when the heyday of indie games was outlined. Trine's success spawned two more sequels. While Trine 3 has become more of a disappointment this year, Trine 2 takes the very best of the original, smoothes, enhances, and makes it all that much better. With the addition of online co-op, you can transfer control of two other characters to friends. As a gift, you are given a colorful picture and easy, almost relaxing, puzzles.

Is the first game in the series to deviate from the familiar historical setting. The creativity that has accumulated over dozens of years spills out from the updated Warhammer animation and a wide range of classes: from gnomes who take revenge for insults by unleashing wars, to vampire counts who replenish their armies with the living dead. The storyline campaign also looks fresh, where the player will be pleased with the updated RPG mechanics with quests and the selection of equipment for the heroes.

After Rome 2, Creative Assembly has significantly improved the engine and the level of artificial intelligence of opponents, thanks to which Warhammer can be called one of the series. And, as before, the campaign mode can be played with a friend. Do you dare to unite the greenskins and the gnomes, two sworn enemies? You can also install a mod and play with a friend for the same faction. There is no better cooperative strategy.

Overcooked is the natural embodiment of chaos. This is one of those cooperative games in which you need to join forces for the sake of winning, even if after the end of the game you do not even want to say what, but you don’t even want to see your partner again. But if you manage to catch the general rhythm and become part of the team coping with icy rivers, earthquakes in the kitchen, and even suddenly arriving pirate ships, then you will get indescribable pleasure.

Everything here is like in a real kitchen - one cuts onions, the second watches the stove, and the third (the one who is best kept out of the food) washes the dishes, running out of the kitchen from time to time. Overcooked was originally designed for multiplayer (it's not so fun to play it alone), but, alas, the game only supports a local network connection. But if you convince your friends to go into the game, then it will be one of the most unforgettable cooperatives.

In the year since its release, The Division has grown from an endless co-op shooter with cover to a co-op shooter with a very clear end goal. Yes, long quests and chases for pumped equipment are not suitable for everyone, but if you and your friends love character leveling shooters, then you should definitely pay attention to The Division.

Walking through post-apocalyptic Manhattan, regular shootouts with bots and a selection of custom missions will help each member of your team to unleash their skills. The skirmishes look very spectacular, and therefore a coordinated attack with grenade throws, deceitful maneuvers and covering fire will bring the same emotions even for the hundredth time as the first.

If your team wants to level up, then you can always find quests for any level in each of the five locations. At the Tier 2 location, you will find raids and short missions where you need to show a well-coordinated team spirit. If you are interested not so much in shootings as in quests with a bias in psychology, then choose the Dark Zone location, which can show your friends not from their best side. If everyone has updates installed, we recommend that you test your strength in the Underground, Survival and upcoming Last Stand modes, where you can play both together and against each other, collecting weapons and equipment along the way.

Trying to pull off a complex heist in several stages in a team with not the most agile bots in Payday 2 singleplayer is not always fun, and sometimes boring. But here the cooperative mode comes to the rescue. Together with a friend, any robbery turns into a mixture of Ocean's 11 and The Expendables.

And better than a secret robbery can only be a sudden change of plans, as a result of which the alarm sounds and you have to fight your way to the exit. And if the mistakes of bots sometimes frankly enrage, then the mistakes of friends make the game much more interesting.

With endless fun and weapon extravaganza, Borderlands 2 is one of the few games on this list to boast a great single player experience. You will have a lot of joy while exploring the planet of Pandora, shooting goofs from your car, endlessly replenishing your ammunition, as if you were trying to stock up before a gun party.

All this will be many times more fun if you have a bunch of friends next to you. Each character takes his place in the team, for example, on more difficult levels, you just need to have a tank, a silent killer and a medic in your team.

It is also worth noting that the resilience of the creature and the value of the reward for killing them directly depends on the number of players in your team, so if you really want hard, furious action, you just need to find more friends.

Guacamelee is a vibrant blend of Metroids and Castlevanias styles, with plenty of witty nods and catchy carnival masks. The 2D rendering is simply amazing, as is the exploration of the surrounding world and the combat system. And from the classics from the Metroid and Castlevania series, it is distinguished by support for up to four players.

You can only play on a local network, so if you manage to lure your friends, they are unlikely to unstick from the screen until they explore every corner of Guacamelee.

All parts of Monster Hunter can be played solo or with online strangers, but in co-op (with a friend), the game unleashes its potential. There are bundles of combos here, as in all action games of Capcom, almost like in Devil May Cry, but more risky and deliberate, make you study the attacks of these huge creatures.

More complex monsters force you to cooperate and constantly be on your guard, and fights go much better when you specialize in different types of weapons as your partner. And grinding rare drops and parts of monsters will be much more fun with a couple of friends in discord.

This sequel to Vermintide definitely expands on the Left 4 Dead formula, adding an entirely new group of enemies, in addition to the Skavens, and a clearer leveling and loot system. The game feels good and moderately tough when you slam a ratman in the face with a huge club. The build system is simple and divided into five types of characters. If you like Left 4 Dead, but you've already played it, Vermintide 2 will grab your attention and is perfect for a couple of dozen hours of bloody carnage.

Project Rare is a fun co-op sandbox, but really fun to play with friends. Sea of ​​Thieves is a beautiful open world game and absolutely not demanding - climb aboard with your friends, choose a direction and just enjoy the sailing trip, sipping grog, play musical instruments and shoot each other with cannons. Or just chat with each other for an hour against the backdrop of a beautiful sunset.

For the sake of fun and profit, you can chase other teams and join the battle ship to ship, search for lost treasures, or capture the skeleton fort, but it's just great - chatting with friends like in a chat room with beautiful waves and a sudden Kraken.

Aside from loot boxes, Destiny 2 contains a good Halo-style campaign, a ton of fun side quests, an ever-increasing number of raid strikes, and two six-man raids.

Destiny 2 includes dozens of hours of co-op, from silly entertainment to serious endgame battles. There is enough fun to be learned from all of this before the Eververse starts to bother you.

Overcooked is the epitome of chaos. The type of cooperative where you need to help each other to win, but most likely, at the end of the day, you won't even talk. Overcooked 2 retains the same idea of ​​breaking the relationship, but before you hate each other, you will really enjoy playing together. The sequel adds new maps and new difficulty. You can play online or locally. Sushi can now be made and teleportation added. Just like in your regular kitchen, really.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an action-packed adventure and one of the best RPGs ever made. You can play one of the best RPGs with up to three friends in online co-op. Players rule as well as chaos in this world, which means one friend can kill a guard or reveal his second living dead identity at the wrong time, but that's exactly what makes OS2 so great to play with friends.

You no longer need to deal with the loyal group of characters that you form over time. You are dealing with three stubborn people who are trying to achieve different goals. It's a beautiful mess in one of the lush, addictive RPG worlds. And once you're done, Game Master lets you create new campaigns from the ground up with an extensive D&D style toolkit.

Total War: Warhammer was the first project in which the company moved away from the historical theme and it worked. 10 years of Warhammer creativity flows here, in both animation and versatile factions. In Warhammer 2, Creative Assembly tried the problems of the series, which have been present for many years: the gameplay ceases to hold at the time of the growth of the empire and domination of the world map.

What has remained unchanged is the launch of a grand campaign with a friend, to take two friendly factions against the rest of the world. Sharing control of a huge army is really a breakthrough: one of you can take over local control and deployment of troops, while the other will make tactical raids of cavalry. Well, or whatever in Warhammer, lizard-like people, huge bats, and so on. If you have Warhammer 1, you can combine these games into a global campaign.

Warframe can get boring quickly, as its core gameplay is about playing through randomly generated levels in an attempt to level up your character. And so over and over again. Some missions are inconvenient to complete alone, and playing online with strangers is not suitable for everyone, especially for beginners. But Warframe transforms when you call your friend into it, turning into a fun virtual shooting gallery where you can shoot hordes of enemies together with a friend.

And if the game hooks you, then you can spend more than one day, understanding all the intricacies. You can sit until the morning, reading the strategies for upgrading things and crafting features on the forums. But you can play it with friends who just started it - you don't have to go through it at the same time. You can go about your business and cross over on the Grineer ship from time to time.

Cuphead doesn't get any easier just because a friend can cover your back in co-op. The addition of a second player overloads an already overflowing world with colorful animations and complicates the passage of this arcade side-scroller, so multiplayer is an option only for reinforced concrete best friends.

But in the same way that your brain and hands merge into perfect power after many failures, and the gradual recognition of patterns takes root at the level of pure instinct, the interaction between two people turns into telepathy. Friendly telepathy with the aim of passing the cartoon game.

For a couple of years, Klei refused to introduce co-op into their gothic survival masterpiece, arguing that co-op would spoil the unique atmosphere, entirely composed of a sense of loneliness and independent exploration of the world. As it turned out, the developers were worried in vain, because the notorious atmosphere in a company with friends is felt even brighter. At the moments when the cyclops-deer burst into your camp, destroying half of the supplies for the winter, you understand that it is better to deal with this in a cooperative.

Klei is renowned for its attention to detail and balance in games, which is why the three main modes Together (Survival, Wilderness and Endless) strike the perfect balance between spawning items and character skills. The most interesting is the Endless mode. Chatting with a friend on Discord or Skype while trying to pool resources to survive the coming harsh winter - isn't that great? And remember: Happiness is a refrigerator full of frog legs.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (or LIADS) is truly an achievement in local multiplayer design. Recently we have seen a resurgence of local multiplayer in PC games, but only a few have the unique style, color and originality of LIADS.

LIADS also promotes intra-team conflict in places where other co-op games don't. So many stations and only two crew members, defeat comes from communication blunders rather than lack of skill. The game, of course, is good, but still annoying that there is no possibility of online co-op. Despite this, one feels that the game is tailored for joint passage while sitting on the same couch, plus there are a lot of settings for the co-op mode.

A strange and grotesque cooperative game with an ingenious idea: you and your friends have to play as space cleaners who are forced to clean up all the chaos that the brave Space Marines from other games leave behind. Grab a bucket with a rag and get ready to clean the walls of blood, burn limbs, collect shells and repair pipes by welding. Yes, it's dirty work, but it's dirty work in space and in the company of friends, and, oddly enough, this is enough to have a fun few evenings.

The highlight of Viscera Cleanup Detail lies in its physics, which sometimes throws interesting surprises. For example, if you are carrying a bucket of bloody water and collide with another player, then all the water will spill over in the blink of an eye, creating even more work. Be prepared for rude comments if you forget the dynamite in the stove; and, of course, nothing beats a picture of your friend being hit by a faulty elevator, even if that means another half hour of cleaning.

But the fun doesn't end there: name tags hang on every corpse, and this is where most of the in-game Easter eggs can be found. You can also find out what happens if you press all the buttons on a device that resembles dynamite (spoiler: this is dynamite) and ruin the final cleanliness rating at the level by trying to feed the alien octopus a chair, which will lead to a profuse green burp on the ceiling. walls and your friends. This is a real diamond in the gaming industry. And if you have a group of friends who are open to new ideas, then it's time to give the game a chance.

There are a lot of good Lego games on the market that can be advised for lovers of this style: for example, Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Lego Batman 2 or Harry Potter, but Marvel games are superior to all others. They are not tied to specific film adaptations, and therefore you can see a team of Spider-Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four and X-Men in them (you can't wait for this even in modern comics).

The levels are interesting and inventive - you will visit the castle of Doctor Doom, Stark Tower, Asgard and other locations. Basically, this is a big tour of the Marvel Universe, created with a lot of love for the characters, as shown by their animation and voice acting. Additionally, you can explore Manhattan or jump off an SHIELD aircraft carrier. This part is much more interesting than the sequel, which focuses on the adventures of the Avengers.

Far Cry's main gimmick is waiting. Penetration unnoticed before the outpost creates tension. Removing a couple of guards creates even more tension. Eventually, someone will notice you, raise the alarm, and hell begins.

In the company of a friend, all these outings will be much more interesting. You can always see from the outlines what your partner is doing so risky. When it comes time to go out into the open, the sheer variety of "toys" in Far Cry 4 will create chaos that you can immerse yourself in with great pleasure. Why sneak in the shadows when you can drop grenades from a helicopter while your friend knocks down the main gate on a war elephant?

It was conceived as a co-op Half-Life, but its mood strongly resembles the "Interdimensional Cable" series from the "Rick and Morty" TV series. We go to a random server and find ourselves in the colored world of Teletubbies. We go to another - and here we are waiting for a parody of the Mega Man series, a secret military base or the Egyptian pyramids, where you will have to fight back with grenades from Anubis himself.

Download a set of quirky maps, connect with your friends, and dive into a retro shooter full of fun and awkward moments. If you play with the right people, then you will have hours of fun in a hilarious booth with monsters, scientists and military men from Half-Life.

Exploration, mining, crafting and adventure in the vast 2D galaxy from Starbound can pull you in for hours. Passing story quests, creating colonies on other planets, pumping an arsenal, a ship and their abilities are implemented here in a very interesting way. And all this is multiplied by two if your buddies are connected to the game.

In the co-op mode, you can easily invite friends to work on joint projects: destroy a couple of monsters or just walk around the spaceship. It is allowed to complete story quests, as well as fight bosses, which are extremely difficult to defeat alone. The game has an amusingly designed chat - everything written is displayed in bubbles above the heads of the characters. An excellent solution that only complements the wonderful atmosphere.

Amplitude Studios made a name for itself with Endless Space and Endless Legend, but their most creative and original project was their beautiful (but weird) Dungeon of the Endless. A couple of fragile heroes and resources fall under your control, the main task is to save the crystal during the periodic attack of opponents. Everything here looks painfully familiar, but the small differences will still surprise you. Time only moves when you open the doors to the dungeon. To complete the level, you need to find a crystal and make a crazy dash to the exit, through the creatures teeming everywhere.

If you play alone, then it is more of a tactical game, with the ability to pause during the battle and think over a further strategy. Co-op removes this option and makes the game more intense. To survive on later difficult levels, you need to have a large supply of resources, a clear understanding of where who should be, and what towers to build. It's so easy to get confused or scattered, but that's the whole point of the game.

The roguelike genre, plus tower defense, plus co-op and RPGs, might seem like incompatible things, but it still fits together.

The original Killing Floor deserves praise and of course it makes sense to recommend Killing Floor 2, as it is a big step forward, here you will find more players and new levels, plus all sorts of bonuses are added to early access members. Killing Floor 2 is a big game, even in this unfinished state. This is an FPS in which you and the other 5 players have to withstand a series of attacks. During the defense, you have to shoot and beat some very restless test subjects.

Survival can be very difficult (especially in difficult modes), and do not forget that teamwork is vital. It's good that Tripwire cannons are made here at a height: recoil and accuracy of fire.

What I like most about this game is paperwork. Wait, wait! Come back! KTNB is a scene-based game in every action movie where a hero has to defuse a bomb and some nerd on the phone asks him "what do you see?"

KTNB has made a splash with the Oculus Rift, but you don't need experimental VR hardware to enjoy the game. A sapper can grab a laptop from one side of the couch, while advisers can open their mine clearance instructions on the other side. Communication is the most important thing in this game, and any number of players can give advice, making KTNB a team game terrifyingly.

GTA has a ton of merit, but co-op heists are probably the best Rockstar has to offer in the open world. Four players team up to overcome a series of story missions in which each hero plays a role in a massive heist. Everything from stealing vehicles as part of a heist preparation to murder and other interrelated tasks will be here.

Missions competently make everyone feel as if he is the one who plays a key role in all these troubles on the way to fabulous wealth.

When all four players come to the end of each heist, dramatically escaping from the cops, you will have much more fun than the main plot of the game. If only Rockstar did more of these missions. They would pay off in full.

There is no doubt that Portal 2 has received a very crude co-op campaign. As two test robots Atlas and P-Body, you and a friend must explore the darker, more dangerous side of GLaDOS programs, as they are too dangerous for human subjects. The 3D spatial thinking that makes the Portal series so exciting will work even harder when you're not alone in solving problems.

The co-op in the game turns out to be great if neither of you knows the answer: if your partner has to patiently wait every time for you to solve the riddle, you feel like an idiot; if not, they will rush you, which makes the game really cool. True, it is very difficult, several years after the release of the game, to find newcomers. Fortunately, Valve's team of map editors have created a complete set of excellent new maps to play in pairs.

For starters, Guacamelee 2 has been on this list for years for its Metroid-style spirit and co-op support. The sequel supports up to four players, allowing you to travel together and lots of fun, colorful combos in classic beat-em-ups. A more recent game, as opposed to the slow and atmospheric Hollow Knight, which is why the co-op fits in so well. Stupid, hypertrophied (in terms of characters) and with really fervent battles. You can also now play as a chicken.

It may be surpassed by Original Sin 2, but it's still one of the best: deep, rewarding RPG you can play with a friend.

Divinity: Original Sin can be distinguished for several reasons. First, it is a return to the form of a classic RPG. Secondly, you can explore this deep world and ridiculously funny texts with a friend, this opportunity appeared for the first time in the game, and is popular with gamers.

The Enhanced Edition has completely overhauled the voice acting, artwork and trophies. There are also new modes for fans of brutal fighting, or those who want to explore the history of the world.

A massive, 100-hour RPG can be played with friends on a drop-in / drop-out basis, but the most dedicated of you should understand that you will have obligations to your partner in the game. The implications are huge, so it's best to partner with your best friends to experience a story with them that you won't find anywhere else.

Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator

Year of issue: 2011 | Developer: Thomas Robertson | Buy

Let's be clear on one thing right away: Artemis is not a Star Trek game. There are a number of legal reasons for this. Deal? Deal. Definitely not based on Star Trek.

So Artemis is one of the best Star Trek games ever. It is presented as a "simulator of the captain's bridge on a spaceship," and its highlight is that each player has his own control scheme with different data. Players (captain, gunners, helmsmen, engineers, operators and scientists) see only a screen in front of them, so, say, an engineer cannot help the gunners or sit at the wheel. But he will be able to distribute energy among the engines.

In the center of everything is the captain, who, oddly enough, does not have any screens in front of his eyes: he just yells at his subordinates so that they do what is required. In last year's version 2.0, we saw a lot of innovations affecting control schemes and general drawing style. If you have played only the first version of Artemis, then we recommend that you gather a company and play a fresh upgrade on the local network.

It's incredible how quickly you adjust to the military command and response system (“Helmsman, set course to Deep Space 1, hold half pulse.” “Half pulse to DS1, yes, captain”). And this is not because you got used to the role, but because here you need to formulate commands clearly and concisely, otherwise you will all die. Well, maybe a little because you got used to the role.

The ability to play with two or three is not surprising to anyone, but the Arma engine supports dozens of players at the same time. There is actually something to see here, one plays as a pilot, takes you and ten more people to the war zone, leaves there to connect with twenty other people for the assault. There is no strict co-op in Arma 3, but I included it in the list because it becomes truly memorable when everyone is on the same side against the overwhelming number of AI opponents.

As you dive into Arma 3, be sure to check out Zeus' multiplayer mode. One player, as Zeus, plays the game as a D&D dungeon master, multiplying equipment and enemies. As soon as you anger Zeus, he will immediately send lightning strikes at you. This is one of the fantastic co-op missions that should never be missed.

This is one of the best PC games. Isn't there a reason to download it? No? Most see Spelunky as a single-player game, but all the fun is centered on the multiplayer. There are so many things that can go wrong here - an accidentally dropped rock, bomb, vase (or any other item) can send your friend to dive towards the sharp thorns, but this is only a small part of the potential of co-op play. Remember, when you play the game together, you cannot underestimate the power of magic.

In two pairs of hands, it is easier to carry important items around the level. The deceased player can be resurrected at the next level, which makes the passage of Spelunky much easier. You can even create cunning plans - one distracts the merchant, and the second drops bombs on him. In most cases, of course, everything goes down the drain, but isn't that why we sit down to play Spelunky?

The fanatically balanced, well-written shooter Left 4 Dead 2 is built on the struggle of four surviving members of the same team. As soon as an incredible number of zombie monsters are sent to the team, the team needs to clearly coordinate their actions, and be ready at any time to save a friend at the last second, so that later such a story can be safely retold.

Valve also deserves credit for how long they've supported L4D2, adding level editors, Steam Workshop support, porting maps and characters from Left 4 Dead 1, continue to offer "mutations", frequently changing game modes that offer something new for the experienced players.

Left 4 Dead 2's vibrant modding community is also a huge part of why this game is so highly regarded as they have produced new campaigns such as. This kept the fun of L4D2 even after the base companies were completely out of date. Plus, you will be able to play as a Velociraptor, which undoubtedly guarantees our highest rating.

Tramps, hello! Below is a selection of the best co-op games for both two and multiple players. If there are suggestions for other games, write in the comments.

Diablo Series

Release date: 1996-2012

A trilogy of action / RPG games made in the style of dark fantasy and telling about the confrontation between people (descendants of the nephalem) and incarnations of evil, the main of which is the Lord of Terror - Diablo. The series is distinguished by the presence of several characters with their own unique abilities, a huge number of monsters that are reborn with each new start of the game, as well as randomly generated locations. To the pluses of these games, you should also add the possibility of cooperative passage. The game on our site is included in the tops:,

The series is currently the most successful franchise in Blizzard Entertainment's campaign. The release of each part was a real event for the gaming community. The series consists of three main games: Diablo (1996), Diablo II (2000), and Diablo III (2012). Each of the games was also supplied with an add-on, adding additional levels and opportunities to the game. In the third part there is a cooperative walkthrough and multiplayer, which allows you to play the game together.

Half-Life 1 and 2

Release date: the first - 1998, the second - 2004

A series of sci-fi first-person shooters that tell us the story of theoretical physicist Gordon Freeman, who is also the only one who can save the Earth from aliens. The games in the series are almost an icon of the genre, largely due to the fun gameplay, thoughtful level design and unusual presentation of the plot. In addition, the engine of the second part of the Source game (of course, significantly modified) is even today actively used by game developers to create their projects.

Despite the fact that every game in the Half-Life series is a single-player game, since a certain time, Valve has been giving away mods for cooperative play absolutely free of charge. In fact, the game is being re-focused on two players, it gets new puzzles and a number of cooperative opportunities.

Serious Sam Series

Release date: 2001-2011

Genre: First person shooter

A series of first-person shooters that stand out against the background of many similar games with hurricane gameplay, when the player needs to shoot back from a huge number of opponents, using an equally huge arsenal of weapons. The total number of enemies in a game can reach several thousand! Battles are intelligently diluted with simple puzzles and finding keys, as well as jumping on platforms, dodging spikes, etc.

Another feature of this series is the possibility of cooperative passage of levels. The players liked the opportunity, together with a partner, to smash various monsters to shreds. It is also worth adding a bit of absurd humor and an original style of storytelling here, and it becomes immediately clear why Serious Sam is very popular among players even today.

Garry's Mod

Release date: 2004 r.

Genre: First person shooter,

A kind of physical "sandbox" that allows you to manipulate various objects on your own or together with friends and arrange experiments with the physics of the Source game engine. With this modification, you can, for example, connect, copy, resize or texture, and perform other kinds of actions with a variety of game objects, which are based on the Source engine. In addition, in addition to the "sandbox" mode, the modification has several fun network game modes.

It is worth noting that for the modification to work, players will need any game on the Source engine. In this case, objects and characters of Half-Life 2 will immediately become available to the player, since they are included in the main distribution of the engine. Other games will allow you to use their own content in the sandbox.

An interesting feature is implemented in the game - procedurally generated weapons and items that can receive improved firepower or, for example, such effects as setting the enemy on fire.

The series amazes with a huge number of all kinds of magic combinations, as well as absurd situations that arise as you progress through it. The degree of absurdity is also increased by the fact that friendly fire is always on here and you can accidentally fry your comrades with some especially massive spell. You will often encounter such errors, moreover, the game expects and demands them from you!

In general, the whole point of the series is in a fun cooperative, which is equipped with a huge amount of humor. The games also have references to everything that is possible, various secrets and artifacts, as well as a flexible spell system based on combining various elements (which often gives an unpredictable, and sometimes even funny result).

The variety of items, equipment and enemies in the game is very large, in particular, the number of items alone here exceeds 2000!

With one of the patches, co-op was added to the game, as well as an "expert mode". In the cooperative mode, several people can now explore the world at once, and the "expert mode" greatly complicates the game, in particular, the mobs become stronger, and the drop-out loot is much less than in normal modes.

Among the many gameplay innovations in Portal 2, it is worth noting the presence of a cooperative mode, which allows you to complete levels in the company of another player. In this case, each of the players can use both his own portals and the portals of his partner (although there is no connection between all four portals in the game). Most puzzles in co-op are also based on the interaction of players with various elements (often using portals), but co-op is much more complex than single-player.

Genre: RPG, third-person action game

A 3-player action RPG inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien, in which players take on the role of one of several heroes and travel to different locations in the world of Middle-earth.

There are three characters in the game, each of which has its own abilities and in some ways will be much better than the others (for example, the elf specializes in healing the team and raising morale, and the dwarf is good for frontal attacks and withstanding a lot of damage). On their way, the heroes will meet many different monsters, and at the end of each level they will have a battle with the boss, after which you can get useful loot and pump your character.

The core of the gameplay here is to explore the island, fight the infected, and complete the main and secondary quests. In the process of passing, players gain experience that can be spent on pumping their character, and also find supplies and weapons. The latter breaks down with use, so you will have to constantly look for the best weapon (either repair and / or improve the existing one).

Each level here is a unique location (cafe, pirate ship, the mouth of an active volcano, ice blocks, etc.), where players create culinary masterpieces and feed visitors for a while. At the same time, something at the level constantly interferes with the implementation of the assigned tasks. So, for example, because of the rocking on the ship, the players will constantly have to chase the plates going back and forth, and on the ice blocks it is very difficult to stand on their own feet.

Torchlight ii

Release date: 2012 r.

Genre: Third person RPG, indie,

Action RPG in the steampunk world, where the player, represented by one of four characters, must complete levels, fight monsters, collect loot and upgrade his character. The game is somewhat reminiscent of the famous Diablo, however, with its own unique features. So, in particular, there are familiars in the game, there is the possibility of fishing, and in general there are some gameplay "chips" that are more suitable for the MMORPG genre.

There is also the possibility of cooperative passage (for the absence of which many scolded the first part of the game). The cooperative supports the game up to six people, while the number of opponents thrown against them directly depends on the number of players. The multiplayer game itself remains the same as the single-player game without any special innovations.

Dead space 3

Genre: Third person shooter, survival horror,

This sci-fi third-person survival horror game is the final game in the Dead Space trilogy. Compared to previous parts of the franchise, the gameplay has undergone significant changes.

Another feature of the gameplay is the possibility of cooperative passage of the game for two people.

Interestingly, the cooperative version of the game has some differences from the single player. So, for example, some side quests can only be obtained in co-op. In addition, each of the players may from time to time experience hallucinations that are invisible to their partner, and begin to react to them (for example, shoot in different directions at non-existent enemies, hitting their friend).

One of the features of the game is that there is no training here - take it and master it yourself.

In April 2016, a multiplayer version of the game was released, in which all previously released content was sewn in, as well as a number of innovations were added. So, for example, now the character does not die, but becomes a ghost with his own abilities and skills. In addition, in survival mode there is an opportunity to resurrect each other. In addition, the multiplayer game can take place both cooperatively and with the possibility of PVP.

The tasks in the game are very diverse - it can be a robbery of a bank or a jewelry store, or maybe the security of a drug laboratory. In addition to the main tasks, the game contains random events that greatly diversify the gameplay.

The game is focused exclusively on team action. This is especially well revealed in the division of characters into classes, each of which will be very useful during the passage. In general, competent pumping plays a very important role here. And it is much more interesting to play with a pumped up and well-played team than with random players who sometimes may not behave too adequately.

Release date: 2013 g.

Genre: Third person shooter, mafia,

An open-world, third-person action-adventure game in which the player controls the leader of the Third Street Saints gang and becomes the President of the United States in the process! The game is an example of a purely entertainment product that does not pretend to be realism or a well-thought-out plot, but pretends to be the most diverse, funny and sometimes even absurd gameplay. On our site, the game is included in the top games with.

The game is distinguished by an abundance of humor, hurricane gameplay (most of which becomes possible thanks to the superpowers of the protagonist), as well as incredible convenience of all game mechanics. Of the advantages, it is also worth noting the presence of a cooperative, which was added to Saints Row 4 with one of the add-ons. In it, the main character's companions from the main plot go to hell to free their boss from a forced wedding with the daughter of Satan.

Arma 3

Release date: 2013 g.

Genre: First person shooter, open world

A tactical first-person shooter with RPG elements. In fact, this is a hardcore military simulator, where parameters such as gravity or wind will affect your shots, and the position of the body or character fatigue will positively or negatively affect the accuracy of shooting. For the first time in the series, it became possible to dive under water, secretly penetrating enemy bases or destroying surface ships by planting mines. Another innovation is the presence of drones, drone, allowing you to discreetly find out the location of the enemy.

The network game and co-op in the game are implemented, however, not all missions are available for the co-op, which, however, is solved with the help of the Steam Workshop, where a fruitful community of fans has released a huge number of modifications, including for the co-op. For cooperative passage, you can unite both together and in small groups.

Lego marvel super heroes

Release date: 2013 g.

Genre: Third Person Action RPG

One of the many action-adventure games in the Lego series that tells the story of the adventures of superheroes in the Marvel Universe. The game is a prequel to Lego Marvel's Avengers, but has an original storyline in which Nick Fury summons a team of superhumans. In general, the gameplay is not very different from other games under the logo of the famous constructor. We, alone or in the company of a partner, run through the levels, fight enemies and solve simple puzzles, collecting along the way Lego pieces that fall out of almost any object.

Unlike other Lego games, the gameplay has become more dynamic, and we have a whole Manhattan open for research, where we can steal cars (like in some GTA), help non-player characters and destroy almost everything around. Naturally, doing this in the company of your friend is many times more interesting and fun.

The teams in the game are divided into fighting squads, where each of the players has his own clearly delineated specialization and, accordingly, a game task. For the sake of realism, there are no interface elements on the screen, and the player's death occurs after 1-2 hits.

The game literally forces allies to act together, because otherwise you will simply be destroyed by a more competent and tactically savvy enemy. Having entered this game after some CS or Battlefield, you literally understand that you are just a burden and have never played real shooters. The game will require you to have straight hands, good reaction and the ability to work harmoniously in a team.

Divinity: Original Sin

Release date: 2014

Turn-based RPG based on the game mechanics of classic RPGs.

There is also a cooperative mode in which 2 players can go through the storyline (and 4 players can play in multiplayer).

The game implements deep interaction with the world. So, for example, almost all objects can be carried here or try to combine with each other. In addition, various elements can interact here with each other, for example, a wet enemy will receive less damage from fire). In general, the project turned out to be very deep and will certainly appeal to all fans of the genre.

Destiny

Release date: 2014

Genre: First person shooter, RPG

A futuristic online first-person shooter that also includes MMO elements. The storyline campaign in the game is a kind of preparation of the player for high-level multiplayer content, in which Destiny is revealed in all its glory. And even the joint passage of the initial stages is tied to the level of the players, i.e. you cannot get into a team with players much stronger or weaker than you.

The game has three classes of characters, and each of the characters also has a special robot-Ghost, which constantly accompanies us and helps us in every possible way. The gameplay is geared towards cooperative play, because, as in many MMOs, independent play is uninteresting and ineffective here. In multiplayer, there are several modes, and random events periodically appear on the maps, in which we, with due luck, can participate.

Dungeon of the endless

Release date: 2014

Genre: RPG, indie, tower defense

An addicting roguelike game with elements of genres such as tactics, strategy, RPG and tower defense. The plot of the game is simple, on a prison ship we crash over a planet, which now needs to be explored, choosing a couple of characters and with their help making our way up from the dungeon into which the spaceship landed. Locations here are divided into rooms in which both monsters and something valuable can appear. Moreover, in the rooms already passed, monsters are guaranteed to appear, which will go to the crystal sticking out from the wreckage of the ship (its destruction entails a loss), so the player will have to worry about the defense.

The game also has an excellent co-op, in which you already have to not only micromanage, but also coordinate with a partner (or partners up to 4 players). Those. in battles, you have to agree on who is responsible for what, divide resources in half and decide who and what will now build.

Miscreated

Release date: 2014

Genre: MMO, first and third person shooter, survival, zombie

A first / third person action game with sandbox elements and survival horror, positioning itself as a global reimagining of DayZ with its own unique features. In general, everything is pretty standard for the genre - we have a huge location in which we appear with practically no means of subsistence. Around the despondency and devastation caused by the apocalypse, well, we must simply survive by obtaining food, drink, uniforms, weapons, etc.

The game has the possibility of a cooperative. Surviving with a friend is many times more interesting, given that the game world is extremely aggressive. Zombies can appear completely unexpectedly, and aggressive-minded other players are a lot of trouble. The game is in the open test stage, however, I am glad that the developers are constantly improving the game and adding a lot of new content to it.

Depth

Release date: 2014

Genre: First person shooter

Multiplayer action game in which the player can take control of a huge shark or diver. Obviously, in both cases, the gameplay will be different. So, for example, a shark relies on its own strength and stealth (there is even the possibility of improving skills), and a diver, whose task is to extract treasure from the depths, can acquire weapons and equipment in order to better resist a predator.

There can be up to four divers and two sharks in one round. In the arsenal of scuba divers all kinds of mines, grenades, underwater pistols, knife, harpoons, tracking systems, turrets, etc. It would seem that with such an arsenal sharks are in a losing situation. But no matter how it is! The game developers did a good job of balancing the sides, so each fight between humans and a predator will be unique and unpredictable.

You can only win here with a full-fledged team and competently using the skills of your characters. Plus, it's in the co-op where the real fun begins.

In general, everything here is done at a high level. Driving an armored vehicle into the midst of enemies and making a mess there is an incomparable pleasure. The game has a lot of bugs and robots, a competent mixture of dynamics and stealth, as well as excellent humor and high-quality graphics.

Grand Theft Auto V and online

Release date: 2015 g.

Even more opportunities can be offered to players by the multiplayer mode of GTA Online, in which you can explore the world alone or with friends, carry out special cooperative missions (including bank robberies), take part in all kinds of competitions and third-party entertainment, or simply repair total chaos ... The main goal of the online mode is to make money, which can be immediately spent on the purchase of movable and immovable property.

Genre: Third-person shooter, post-apocalypse

A third-person action game tailored for a co-op, which takes place in the not-too-distant future in New York. The player finds himself in the center of a viral epidemic, while the elimination of its consequences will directly depend on the actions of all participants in the game. The project is structured in such a way that your team will select the most suitable partners for your style of play, and the total group size can reach four people.

As the player progresses, he will find himself in the so-called "dark zone", which, in fact, is the PVP and PVE zone. In it, players can both fight against each other and try to stick together, fighting stronger and more tenacious NPCs.

All characters here are controlled by live players, while both survivors and assassins have their own unique gameplay and style of play.

During the game, all characters can be pumped. In addition, between game sessions, you can purchase various items that can help in survival (or vice versa in killing survivors). In general, the game offers a rather diverse gameplay, and if for the killer the variability of the passage is limited only by the skills of a particular character, then for the survivors, players can choose whether to act together or try to survive on their own.

Battlefield 1

Release date: 2016 Nov.

Genre: First person shooter,

An online first-person shooter based on the events of the First World War. And although the game has a single player campaign, the main focus here is still on multiplayer. The player can choose from four classes, each with its own set of skills, abilities and weapons. Map battles can include up to 64 players. The game has various locations and a variety of techniques that you can use.

In general, the gameplay is largely traditional for the series, but the developers tried to make everything much more interesting, larger, cooler, which, however, they did. The game is captivating from the first minutes, largely thanks to the gameplay that was perfected to the smallest detail and incredibly beautiful graphics, for which the project received a number of prestigious awards. I am also glad that the developers are releasing large-scale DLCs at an enviable frequency.

TheHunter: Call of the Wild

Release date: 2017 Nov.

Genre: First person shooter, hunting simulator, adventure

A first-person hunter simulator, in which literally everything is wonderful: a huge open world, a wide variety of all kinds of game, colorful graphics and even a cooperative mode for joint hunting. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the not very high-quality optimization of the game, which the developers, hopefully, will fix in future patches.

The first thing I want to note here is the locations that amaze with their beauty. And although this project is about hunting, there is something to do in the game and in addition to killing animals. So, for example, here you can collect horns, find notes, take pictures of local beauties, etc. The game is leisurely and meditative, so the project is very for an amateur, but this is more likely not a minus, but its peculiarity. It's a little more fun to play with a partner, so co-op is highly recommended, especially if you're new to the genre.

PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS

Release date: 2017 Nov.

Genre: Third Person Shooter, Adventure

The essence of the game is to remain the last survivor on the island. You can play as a solo, duo, or squad up to 3-4 people.

The game as a whole is very dynamic, moreover, at a certain moment it spurs players to action by the emergence of the so-called white, blue and red zones. The white zone is safe, in the blue zone - players gradually lose health, and the red zone is subjected to massive shelling. The white and blue circles decrease over time, forcing players to move towards the center while fighting each other.

Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop

Release date: 2017 Nov.

Genre: Third person shooter, arcade,

An isometric arcade co-op shooter featuring both the original game and a custom modification with a bunch of changes. The plot is simple - to save the planet, a detachment of elite fighters is assembled, the character of which we control. In the original game, the squad consisted of four people, in turn, the modification expanded it to eight. It is worth noting that this add-on is no longer focused on the storyline campaign, which is perfectly passed by the four of us, but on additional modes, somewhat reminiscent of "mutations" from the Left 4 Dead game.
