My Favorite 👥 Co-Op Games

Gaming is better with a partner, but it can be hard to pick something that everyone is excited about. Luckily, I have just the things.

The 15 games below are "co-op", meaning 2+ players play at the same time using their own controller, working together to accomplish a goal.

Please let me know if you'd like to nominate an addition!

Great game. Good story, great presentation / cinematography. Gameplay itself was light, but that was really the style. Didn't bother me at all. Action was engaging and experience was gripping.

Great in co-op. Puzzles were good and combat was satisfying. Good upgrade system too. And a story! Really has it all- just don't play it solo.

Very fun! Cute and (not usually) vindictive. Neat puzzle design, fun to collaborate. Excited to try the harder ones eventually. These definitely got harder, too. Cute little story to go with it too, which wasn't necessary but was pleasant.

Very stylized game. Good, usually fair. Impressive depth. Hard, but usually satisfying bosses. Great multiplayer too. Really the complete package!

Great adaptation of a complex board game. Missions were cool and varied with only a couple of very frustrating ones. Would have been nice to be able to roll back individual actions, but being able to restart rounds was easy enough. Had a ton of fun playing with friends and exploring the world.

Superb gameplay. Always new environments and styles to keep things fresh. Story was decent, but a little hamfisted. Presentation overall was great though, espeically puzzles and level designs. There's one really traumatic scene that Player 2 hated, but she had no other complaints. A good game for getting better at 3D platforming.

Very charming game. Puzzles were fine and controls were a little finnicky, but it's easy and fun and we had a nice time. Music is great, cutscenes were hysterical. There's a million little things to find.

Fun to run around and do co-op space adventures. Light game, but enjoyable in groups. Cool power-ups, too.

Really great puzzles. Good physics, fun to think outside the box. Not every puzzled esign was a hit, but most of them were. Very fun multiplayer, but works well solo.

Avg Rating: 4/4⭐

A little light on direction in some areas which led to some frustration in progress (having to do a puzzle a few times because of a hard one after it), but awesome use of asymmetric information and some good puzzles. Really neat experience. Played with vicky, would also be very neat with a rando.

Cute game! Definitely some neat puzzles. Some worlds were more interesting than others, but they did a good job varying the core theme. We did a challenge level and it was genuinely challenging! There was also coin collection, but for no real reason? It was weird. Enjoyable though.

Neat puzzle game. I liked the asymmetry, but some puzzles were hard to do on a controller and there were noticeable bugs. But, there were some very neat sections and I'm glad we played.

Avg Rating: 3/4⭐

Neat little game! Clever the way it pairs players without actually needing a connection or server. Puzzles were mostly straightforward, though we got stuck a little. Nice theme though, and worth a quick play if you enjoy asymmetric puzzlers.

Great gameplay, nice graphics (if not a little hard to parse at times). Didn't really have a story, but pretended it did.

Pretty good, but the puzzles this time around were more frustrating than before. Still neat co-op, I like the concept. It was differently creepy than the other, too.
