Playing co-op is a great way to spend time together, a good way to test friendships, and the perfect trainer for improving your teamwork skills. For those who are looking for something to play in a company, we have prepared a large selection of the best cooperative games.

Monster Hunter World

Strange Brigade

A dynamic shooter game, the plot of which tells about the awakening of the ancient Egyptian witch-queen Seteka. Only the "Strange Brigade" - four brave adventurers ready to fight any danger for the sake of hard cash - can stop the sinister ruler and her minions.

Playing alone in Strange Brigade is too boring, but in co-op the project is revealed in full force. At various levels, bloodthirsty monsters, deadly traps and, of course, cunningly hidden ones will be waiting for you, and an extensive arsenal of weapons and crushing spells unique to each character will help you deal with the creatures of evil.

a way out

A game that is completely aimed at cooperative passage with a friend: you cannot go through it alone, you cannot go through it with a random player (not from the list of friends in), and there is no need - this project gives the most vivid emotions only when you play with a well-known person , and preferably at one computer, in a splitscreen. We will not paint the merits for a long time - we have already said everything in. If you have someone to play with, be sure to pay attention to this wonderful game.

Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide

A game set in the fantasy universe of Warhammer (which is not 40,000) invites players to unite and recapture the city of Übersreik from the ratmen - mostly in close combat. Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide (as well as its sequel) captures with dynamic and rich gameplay, impresses with the beauty of locations and pleases with high complexity. In general, a great option for evening team battles.

Portal 2

Without exaggeration, the brilliant one could have placed higher on our list, but due to its age, it has given way to newcomers. The main feature of the Portal 2 cooperative is a very convenient, intuitive gesture system, thanks to which communication in the game does not require voice communication, and even residents of different countries can find a common language among themselves. Interesting puzzles and corporate humor remained in place, so the project will help you brighten up boredom and have fun.

Gears of War

Only two games from the first and fourth parts are presented on the PC (the rest came out on the consoles of the Xbox family), but they are enough for vivid emotions. Gears of War takes a gloomy atmosphere, the charisma of the main characters and furious battles with undisguised, even ostentatious, cruelty.

Broforce

Killing floor

Ghost Recon Wildlands

Shooter from Ubisoft, specially sharpened for cooperative passage. Of course, you can play Ghost Recon Wildlands alone, but then you will not get even a small fraction of the impressions that this project gives when performing tasks together. It's all about the gameplay: the game belongs to the genre and, obviously, AI-controlled characters can not be compared with real people who, with proper coordination of actions, will turn the passage of missions into a beautifully staged Hollywood action movie.

Dying Light

HELLDIVERS

Civilization

The sixth installment in the Civilization strategy series is the newest yet, but there is also co-op in previous installments. Here, the joint passage is implemented within the framework of diplomacy: players can declare friendship, unite in an alliance and develop their civilizations together. perfect for playing both over the Internet and on one computer - for the second case, a hot-sit mode is provided, in which participants make their moves in turn.

cuphead

A long-term platformer released in 2017 with a stunningly beautiful visual style that harks back to the 30s and 40s. Players will take control of funny characters and fight with two dozen bosses. Cuphead features incredibly complex gameplay, so friendly support here comes in handy.

Path of Exile

call of duty

Starting with World at War, each part contains, in addition to the single-player campaign and competitive multiplayer, a co-op mode. In some editions of the franchise, players will have to fight zombies, in others - with, but each time these missions delight with excellent staging and addictive gameplay.

Destiny 2

Both parts of Destiny are designed for cooperative play, but only the second part is available on PC. Destiny 2 is a cooperative battle against alien invaders, accompanied by a story full of mysteries and a carefully crafted futuristic setting. The game takes not only addictive gameplay, but also demonstrating amazing landscapes.

Diablo

The second and third parts of Diablo, after so many years, still occupy places in all the tops of cooperative games. The reasons for success are high replay value, well-balanced balance, exciting gameplay. Any fan of good action-RPGs periodically feels like downloading one of the games, calling friends and heading to Sanctuary to deal with presumptuous demons.

Divinity: Original Sin

Risk of Rain 2

world war z

The ideological successor of the Left 4 Dead series, based on the film of the same name starring Brad Pitt. True, from the movie blockbuster (which, by the way, is based on the book of the same name), there is only a setting and a set of locations, otherwise World War Z is a typical cooperative shooter, a little less interesting and unpredictable than L4D.

However, he has something to interest you: hordes (no, HORDES) of zombies, a choice between character classes, a snowy one of several active places, as well as an interesting PvPvZ mode in which teams of players fight each other, simultaneously fighting off crowds of attacking the dead.

Don't Starve Together

In this stand-alone expansion for Don't Starve, you'll have to survive, as the game's name suggests, with a friend. At your disposal is a large selection of characters, a lot of resources and items created from them. Against you is a world full of secrets and dangers, ready to tear and devour uninvited guests. Want to see who is stronger?

Borderlands series

Fortnite

The Division 2

The story of a successful bioterrorist attack was continued in. The action moved to Washington, changed in the summer, but the gameplay remained the same - it's all the same exploration of locations and battles with marauders and enemy mercenaries.

Warframe

A very unusual and very popular game will take you on a journey through different planets of the solar system, where you will fight against enemies who have decided to capture the inhabited worlds. is a game about farming and grinding: you will complete tasks and participate in raids, slash, shoot and blow up opponents in non-stop battles - all for the sake of creating cool combat suits and powerful weapons. The game is available for free, so you won't pay a dime to participate in this grind festival.

Overcooked

Portal Knights

The developers of Portal Knights mixed mechanics with construction and it turned out not to be Minecraft at all, but an original cooperative project with trips to different islands and boss battles. In between battles, you can build your own house, and if the gameplay seems too easy, you can always try your hand at battles with especially strong enemies. However, it is worth noting that in a solo game you will certainly get bored, so it is better to go on an adventure with friends.

Deep Rock Galactic

A procedurally generated co-op shooter about spaceships fighting alien monsters in treasure-filled caves... wait, what? Yes, such an unusual description hides a good game that will give you an unforgettable experience with its setting and gameplay.

Four classes of characters, a large selection of weapons, a completely destructible environment, hordes of monsters attacking from all sides - after a few matches you will no longer worry about all the strangeness of what is happening, but the crazy pace of battles will take you over your head.

Although Sea of ​​Thieves had problems with a small amount of content at the start, now the project is able to captivate players for many weeks. There are story quests, and sea battles, and treasures guarded by skeletons, and even PvP. There would be a team, but there will always be adventures.

Co-op games for weak PCs

Almost all of the above games require fairly powerful and. But what if the configuration of your computer does not cope with modern projects, but you still want to play co-op? Don't rush to break your piggy bank for an upgrade - we have a selection of co-op games for weak PCs.

Serious Sam - all editions of the famous shooter series contain a co-op mode in which players can work together to repel an alien invasion led by the evil Mental.

Left for Dead is a dilogy from Valve in which players team up to survive in the world of the zombie apocalypse.

Lost Planet 2 is a futuristic shooter where gamers have to fight giant bugs on a distant planet.

Dead Island is a series of zombie action games with parkour, melee combat and a system of zonal dismemberment of the walking dead.

Resident Evil - the fifth and sixth installments of the franchise, as well as the Resident Evil Revelations duology, contain a co-op mode in which players will have to clean up the consequences of Umbrella's sinister experiments.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is an action-RPG set in the "" universe with co-op for three.

Invite your friends and enjoy the best co-op games on PC.

No one and nothing - except a friend - compares to a good blaster who also has a good blaster, then you have a total of two blasters and can blast twice as many. That's the beauty of our favorite co-op games, be it online or 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 frantic cooking simulations.

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

Dropped off the main list

Vermintide borrowed a lot from another game on this list, and 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 amazing special effects that make the game a worthy choice for friends when they want to crush a couple of ratlings.

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

Warning - don't play Kalimba with a new friend. Although the game looks like a light-hearted puzzle game, it is actually a powerful tool for pushing the limits of human tolerance. Each player has two colored totems. Solving the colored puzzles will not be difficult, but 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 surprising how intuitive Kalimba feels: watching someone else play is proving to be more exciting than picking up a gamepad yourself (it's better to use it for simplicity). It is hard, but no problem can be solved alone, and any victory is shared.

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

If Payday 2 is a mix of good action movies, then Monaco is 100% distilled from Ocean's Eleven. In Monaco, you need to pull off superb heists, hence the excitement and tension, which in itself is the perfect combination for a good time with friends. This game is full of all sorts of details, plans, and there is something so beautiful when you cut off the electricity while your partner distracts the guard.

A great RPG from Runic that managed to put me off Diablo III. It had more Diablo than Diablo itself, and this crazy dungeon crawl is even harder and more rewarding if you get in there 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, "too much" isn't the right word.

The three-character puzzle game Trine came out of nowhere, just in 2009, when indie games were on the rise. The success of Trine spawned two more sequels. While Trine 3 has been more of a disappointment this year, Trine 2 takes the best of the original, smooths it out, improves it, and does it all so much better. With the addition of online co-op, you can give control of the other two characters to your friends. As a gift, you are given a colorful picture and light, almost relaxing, puzzles.

is the first game in the series to deviate from the usual historical setting. The creativity accumulated over decades spills over from the updated Warhammer animation and a wide range of classes: from dwarves who avenge insults by unleashing wars, to vampire counts who replenish their armies with the living dead. The story 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 greenskins and dwarves, 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 don’t even want to say anything, but don’t even want to see your partner again. But if you manage to catch the general rhythm and become part of a team that copes with icy rivers, earthquakes in the kitchen, and even pirate ships that suddenly appeared, then you will get indescribable pleasure.

Everything here is like in a real kitchen - one cuts onions, the second monitors the stove, and the third (the one that is better not to let food in) 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 LAN connection. But if you convince your friends to enter the game, then this will be one of the most unforgettable co-ops.

In the year since its release, The Division has evolved from an endless co-op shooter with cover to a co-op shooter with a very clear end goal. Yes, long quests and chasing after upgraded equipment are not for everyone, but if you and your friends love shooters with character upgrades, then The Division is definitely worth paying attention to.

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

If your team wants to level up, you can always find quests for any level in each of the five locations. On the Tier 2 location you will find raids and short missions where you need to show a well-coordinated team spirit. If you are not so much interested in gunfights as quests with a bias in psychology, then choose the Dark Zone location, which may not show your friends from the best side. If everyone has updates installed, then we recommend testing your strengths in the Underground, Survival and the 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 efficient bots in Payday 2 single player is not always fun, and sometimes boring. But here comes the co-op mode. 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 an alarm sounds and you have to fight your way to the exit. And if the mistakes of bots are sometimes frankly infuriating, then the mistakes of friends make the game much more interesting.

With endless fun and gun extravaganza, Borderlands 2 is one of the few games on this list that boasts a great single-player experience. You will have a lot of fun while exploring the planet Pandora, shooting goons from a car, endlessly replenishing your ammo, as if you are 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 their place in the team, for example, in more difficult levels, you will simply need to have a tank, a silent assassin and a medic in your team.

It's also worth noting that the durability of the creature and the value of the reward for killing them is directly related to 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 mix of Metroids and Castlevanias styles, with plenty of witty references and catchy carnival masks. The 2D rendering is amazing, as is the exploration and combat system. And it differs from the classic games from the Metroid and Castlevania series with support for up to four players.

You can only play on the local network, so if you manage to lure your friends, they are unlikely to come off the screen until they explore every corner in Guacamelee.

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

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

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

Project Rare is a fun co-op sandbox, but really a lot of fun when played with friends. Sea of ​​Thieves is a great open world game with absolutely no demands - come on board with your friends, choose a direction and just enjoy the sea sip while drinking grog, playing musical instruments and shooting each other with cannons. Or just chat with each other for an hour against the backdrop of a beautiful sunset.

For fun and profit, you can stalk other teams and engage in ship-to-ship combat, look for lost treasures, or take over the skeleton fort, but it's just fine to chat with friends in a chat room with beautiful waves and the sudden Kraken.

In addition to the loot boxes, Destiny 2 features a good Halo-style campaign, a ton of fun side quests, an increasing number of strike strikes, and two six-man raids.

Destiny 2 includes dozens of hours of co-op, from silly entertainment to serious final battles. There's enough fun to be had from all of this before the Eververse starts bothering you.

Overcooked is the embodiment of chaos. The kind of co-op where you have to help each other to win, but most likely you won't even talk at the end of the day. Overcooked 2 keeps the same idea of ​​ruining relationships, but before you hate each other, you'll really enjoy playing together. The sequel adds new maps and a new difficulty. You can play online or locally. Now you can make sushi and teleportation has been added. Just like in your usual kitchen, really.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a sprawling, inventive adventure and one of the best RPGs ever made. Play one of the best RPGs with up to three friends in online co-op. Players rule the chaos in this world, and that means one friend can ditch a guard or reveal his second undead identity at the most inopportune times, but that's exactly what makes OS2 so great to play with friends.

You no longer have to deal with the loyal group of characters 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 most lush, immersive RPG worlds out there. And once you've completed your playthrough, Game Master mode lets you create new campaigns from scratch with the help of 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, both in animation and versatile factions. In Warhammer 2, Creative Assembly tried the problems of the series that have been present for many years: the gameplay ceases to hold at the time of the expansion of the empire and dominance on the world map.

What has remained unchanged is launching an epic campaign with a friend, taking on two friendly factions against the rest of the world. Sharing control of a huge army is truly a breakthrough: one of you can take care of local command and deployment of troops, while the other will make tactical cavalry raids. Well, or what is there in Warhammer, lizard-like people, huge bats and so on. If you have Warhammer 1, you will be able to combine these games into a global campaign.

Warframe can get boring quickly, as the main gameplay in it is to complete randomly generated levels in an attempt to level up the character. And so time after time. Some missions are inconvenient to complete alone, and playing online with strangers is not suitable for everyone, especially beginners. But Warframe is transformed if you call your friend into it, turning into a fun virtual shooting range 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 on the forums the strategies for upgrading things and the features of crafting. But it can also be played with friends who have just launched it - it is not necessary to play it at the same time. You can mind your own business and cross paths on the Grineer ship from time to time.

Cuphead doesn't get easier just because a friend can have your back in co-op. The addition of a second player overloads an already crowded 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 instincts, the interaction between two people turns into telepathy. Friendly telepathy in order to complete a cartoon game.

For a couple of years, Klei refused to introduce co-op into its gothic survival masterpiece, arguing that the co-op mode would spoil the unique atmosphere, entirely consisting 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 the company of friends is felt even brighter. At the moment when cyclops-deer break into your camp, destroying half of the stocks 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 Together's three main modes (Survival, Wilderness and Endless) strike the perfect balance of item spawns 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 oncoming 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. We've seen a resurgence of local multiplayer in PC games lately, but few have the style, color, and originality of LIADS.

LIADS also promotes intra-team conflict in places where other co-op games don't. With 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, it feels like the game is geared towards co-op co-op, plus there are plenty of options for co-op.

A strange and grotesque co-op game with a brilliant idea: you and your friends will have to play as space cleaners, forced to clean up all the chaos that the brave space marines from other games leave behind. Grab a bucket of rag and get ready to clean walls of blood, burn limbs, collect shell casings and repair pipes with welding. Yes, it's a dirty job, but it's a messy job in space and in the company of friends, and, oddly enough, it's enough to have fun for a few evenings.

The highlight of Viscera Cleanup Detail lies in its physics, which sometimes throws out interesting surprises. For example, if you're carrying a bucket of bloody water and you collide with another player, all the water will spill in the blink of an eye, creating even more work. Be prepared for unkind comments if you forget the dynamite in the stove; and, of course, nothing compares to seeing your friend being slammed down by a malfunctioning elevator, even if that means another half hour of cleaning.

But the fun doesn't end there: every corpse has name tags hanging on it, and this is where most of the game's 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 on the level by trying to feed the alien octopus a chair, which will lead to a copious green burp on the ceiling, walls and your friends. This is a real gem of the gaming industry. And if you have a group of friends open to new ideas, then it's time to give the game a try.

There are a lot of good Lego games on the market that you can recommend to connoisseurs 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, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men in them (this is not even expected in modern comics).

The levels here are interesting and inventive - you will visit Doctor Doom's castle, Stark Tower, Asgard and other locations. In essence, this is a great tour of the Marvel Universe, created with a lot of love for the characters, as shown by their animation and voice acting. In addition, here you can explore Manhattan or jump off a S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft carrier. This part is much more interesting than the sequel, which focuses on the adventures of the Avengers.

The main feature of Far Cry is waiting. Penetrating unnoticed to the outpost creates tension. Remove a couple of guards - creates even more tension. Eventually, someone notices you, raises the alarm, and all hell breaks loose.

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 in such a risky way. When it's time to go out in the open, Far Cry 4's sheer variety of "toys" will create havoc that you'll dive into with great pleasure. Why sneak around in the shadows when you can drop grenades from a helicopter while your friend blows down the main gate while riding a war elephant?

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

Exploration, mining, crafting and adventure in the vast 2D Starbound galaxy can keep you busy for hours. The passage of story quests, the creation of colonies on other planets, the pumping of the arsenal, the ship and your abilities are implemented here in a very interesting way. And all this is multiplied by two if your friends are connected to the game.

You can easily invite friends to the cooperative mode to work on joint projects: destroy a couple of monsters or just walk around the spaceship. It is also allowed to complete story quests, as well as fight bosses, which are extremely difficult to defeat alone. The game has a funny 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 (if weird) game 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 small differences will still surprise you. Time moves only when the doors to the dungeon are opened. To complete the level, you need to find a crystal and make a crazy dash to the exit, through the creatures swarming everywhere.

If you play alone, then it's 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 which towers to build. It's so easy to get confused or run away, but that's the whole point of the game.

The roguelike genre, plus tower defense, plus co-op and RPG, it may seem that these are incompatible things, but they still fit together.

The original Killing Floor is to be commended and of course it makes sense to recommend Killing Floor 2 as it's a major step forward, you'll find more players and new levels, plus all sorts of bonuses added to early access members. Killing Floor 2 is a big game, even in this unfinished state. This is an FPS where you and the other 5 players must endure a series of attacks. During the defense, you have to shoot and beat some very restless test subjects.

Survival is sometimes very difficult (especially in difficult modes), and do not forget that teamwork is vital. It's good that the Tripwire guns are made here at their best: recoil and accuracy of fire.

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

KTNB made a splash with the Oculus Rift, but you don't need experimental VR hardware to enjoy the game. The minesweeper can take a laptop from one side of the couch, while the advisers open their demining 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 terribly team game.

GTA has a lot to offer, but co-op heists are probably the best thing Rockstar has to offer in an open world game. Four players team up to overcome a series of story missions in which each hero fulfills his role by participating in a big heist. There will be everything from stealing a vehicle as part of the preparation for a robbery, to killing and other interrelated tasks.

Missions cleverly make everyone feel like they are playing a key role in all these troubles on the way to fabulous wealth.

When all four players reach the end of each heist, escaping the cops in dramatic fashion, you'll have a lot more fun than the game's main storyline. If only Rockstar would do more missions like this. They would pay off in full.

There is no doubt that Portal 2 received a very raw co-op company. As two test robots Atlas and P-Body, you and a friend must explore the darker, more dangerous side of the GLaDOS programs, as they are too dangerous for human test subjects. The 3D spatial thinking that makes the Portal series so immersive will work even more when you're thinking about solving problems on your own.

Co-op in the game is great if neither of you knows the answer: if your partner has to wait patiently every time you solve a puzzle, 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. Luckily, Valve's team of map editors have created a complete set of great new maps to play in pairs.

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

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

Divinity: Original Sin stands out for several reasons. First, it's a return to the classic RPG form. Secondly, you can explore this deep world and ridiculously funny texts together with a friend, this opportunity appeared for the first time in the game, and is a hit with gamers.

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

The 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 game partner. These are huge consequences, so it's better to take your best friends as a partner in order to experience a story with them that you will not find anywhere else.

Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator

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

Let's get one thing clear 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 out there. It is presented as a "simulator of the captain's bridge on a spaceship", and its highlight lies in the fact that each player has his own control scheme with different data. Players (captain, gunners, helmsmen, engineers, operators and scientists) see only the screen in front of them, so, say, the engineer will not be able to help the gunners or sit at the helm. But he can distribute energy among the engines.

At 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 to do what is required. In last year's version 2.0, we saw a lot of innovations affecting control schemes and the general drawing style. If you played only the first version of Artemis, then we recommend gathering a company and playing a fresh upgrade on the local network.

It's incredible how quickly you adjust to the military system of orders and responses ("Helmsman, set course for Deep Space 1 station, maintain half pulse." "Half pulse to DS1 station, that's right, 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 will not surprise anyone, but the Arma engine supports dozens of players at the same time. There's actually a lot to see here, one plays the pilot, takes you and ten other people to the war zone, leaves there to link up with twenty other people for an assault. Arma 3 doesn't have strict co-op play, but I included it in the list because it becomes truly unforgettable when everyone is on the same side against the overwhelming number of enemy AI.

As you dive into Arma 3, don't forget to check out the Zeus multiplayer mode. One player, in the role of Zeus, leads the game as a D&D-style dungeon master, breeding equipment and enemies. Once you anger Zeus, he will immediately send lightning strikes at you. This is one of the fantastic missions for the co-op, which should not be missed in any case.

This is one of the best games for PC. Isn't there a reason to download it? Not? Most see Spelunky as just a single player game, but all the fun is in the multiplayer. There are so many things that can go wrong here - an accidentally dropped rock, bomb, vase (or any other object) can send your friend diving into sharp spikes, but this is only a small part of the potential of a cooperative game. Remember, when you play the game together, don't underestimate the power of magic.

In two pairs of hands it is easier to carry important items around the level. The dead player can be resurrected at the next level, which makes the passage of Spelunky many times 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 Left 4 Dead 2 shooter is built around 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 comrade at the last second, so that later such a story can be safely retold.

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

The active community of Left 4 Dead 2 modders is also a huge part of why this game is so highly regarded, they have produced new campaigns such as . This kept the fun of L4D2 even after the base companies were completely obsolete. Plus, you'll be able to play as a Velociraptor, which certainly guarantees our highest score.

If you have only one gaming device and you want to play with someone together, then such an opportunity exists. Unlike multiplayer games, where each player has their own device, two-player games have to share it. This playstyle creates more chaotic battles as each player can see and react to other players' movements.

Although, on the other hand, now you can count not only on yourself, but also on your friends. Some creatures have received a higher amount of health, but the players, in turn, become hungry faster. You can play together online, set up a local network, or survive using one computer.

The mechanics of death has also become interesting. Now, after one of the players goes to another world, he becomes a ghost and can continue to travel with the group in the form of incorporeal matter until he is resurrected. Considering also the fact that they appear in the game, there is simply no time to be bored there.

You will have to think quite a lot in the game, because your enemies are cunning and insidious. It will be very hard for you, because the rat-men know how to take you by surprise, how to instill in you a sense of hopelessness. They will pull you apart one by one, crush you in a crowd, not even allowing you to move to a safe distance. Even experienced players choke on their own blood and have no way to fight back. An even greater variety and a horde of rats brought a great addition to the game. Co-op is possible both online and through a local network.
