(the app is forcing me to put a link so I put Timesplitters 2 gameplay cuz this is mostly a text post)

Hi everyone! I've been feeling frustration about games lately, remembering experiences I had as a kid playing co-op story games with my friends, like Timesplitters and Destroy All Humans, etc.

Modern multiplayer games sometimes have some co-op elements, but many of them are party games like Human Fall Flat or Among Us, or big Battle Royales or Multiplayer shooters. The co-op ones seem to only be survival games like The Forest.

I'm always looking for good co-op experiences to play with my friends, but it's hard to find what I am looking for. I recently played It Takes Two with my partner and that was so wonderful.

Does anyone know any games like what I am looking for? It seems these kinds of games are so few and far between, sadly.

When I started to read your post I was going to reply with ItTakes Two, but then I saw you already played it. IMO that is the best co-op game ever. A little bit of everything, amazing graphics, gameplay, music. I only wish I found something close to it.

My friend and I played We Were Here Forever. Not an action game whatsoever. Graphics were meh. Story ok. The challenges were fun but difficult. If you are looking for a "thinking/puzzle" co-op that requires good communication, you may want to give it a try.

Following this post to see other comments, as I would love to try out a good co-op as well.
