Hello all! My buddy and I finally finished up Baldur's Gate 3 this week and we are not left with a giant co-op game shaped whole in our hearts. It was such an incredible experience and it was truly even more fun running through it together. We are excited to hop into another game, but we have no idea what to play. We've played a lot, and some games we've finished or tried recently included:

  • Borderlands 1, 2, and 3
  • Minecraft, Terraria, Vintage Story
  • Raft, 7 Days to Die
  • A Way Out, It Takes Two

I'm posting here today to ask if any of you have some suggestions for co-op games we could check out! I've Googled for suggestions to no end and 90% of what's there is games we've already played. If anyone has any recommendations for us they would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

~ Hyrulian

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!! I'm going to compile a list and check them all out one by one!

Since you mentioned Vintage Story I'm gonna go ahead and praise that suggestion. A game truly worth supporting! Developed by only two people, with a huge dedication. Game has a lovely community too. Definitely give it a shot ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I'd highly recommend Stolen Realms. Pretty cheap too

It's a hex grid turn based game. You can have up to 6 characters (difficulty scales per character) and can each control as many in the party as you want. Turns are taken as enemy, and players with the players able to act at the same time so you aren't waiting too long if you are communicating about what you want to do.

It has multiple "classes" with skill tiers that require you to take a few from that "class" but you can spec however you want.

The roguelike mode is very fun for quick sessions and will reward you with a choice of random skills and armors after every fight, but it also saves if you need to go and play later.

Core Keeper comes out of Early Access soon I think and should be up your alley

Abiotic Factor. It's basically a co-op Half-life.

Super Mario 3 is pretty sweet

I enjoyed playing Toodee and Topdee with my roommate. Fun puzzle game. Can be played singleplayer or multiplayer. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1303950/Toodee_and_Topdee/

Minecraft Dungeons is also quite fun for co-op. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1672970/Minecraft_Dungeons/

I couldn't find it mentioned already, but I really loved Vagante. https://store.steampowered.com/app/323220/Vagante/

Prodeus is still EA, but it has a solid first episode with good Co-op gameplay if you're into retro style shooters.

If you really want to go old school, OG Doom from 1993 and Bungie's Marathon Trilogy(1994-96) support co-op. I haven't tried Doom yet, but you do need to be technical to figure out Marathon co-op.

There's a game on Kickstarter called Outbound. It's in alpha access right now.

The game looks like it's literally Raft in a camper van. Haven't tried it yet but I plan to.
