However, she suddenly finds a unique power that allows her the ability to rewind time. With this new power, Max rekindles a friendship with her childhood mate, Chloe. Together the duo ventures out to uncover a mystery surrounding a missing student from the area. However, during their journey, they uncover something far more sinister being kept within the school.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands may have started out in the last mainline game as a DLC to test the waters, but it’s now a full-on experience that you’ll definitely want to play with friends–or your loved one.

In this game, you’ll play the Borderlands version of D&D, complete with Tiny Tina as your dungeon master and plenty of monsters for you to kill with blades, magic, and guns.

At the end of the Iraqi War, a group of soldiers stumble onto a temple that they were never meant to see. Now, they must team up with soldiers from the other side of the war in order to survive, but whether they will or not will be based on your choices.

In addition, how you chose to interact with other characters may determine who lives and dies and whether any of you survive the night. This is the perfect game to play with someone else–playing alone is a little too terrifying.

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a great puzzle party game that can be enjoyed with two or more players. In this game, one player has been trapped with a bomb that’s surrounded by a number of puzzles. To defuse the bomb, the player has to explain what they are looking at while the rest of the party focuses on finding solutions. Meanwhile, you’re working against the clock as you attempt to defuse the bomb successfully. To make things even more entertaining, if you have a compatible VR headset, you can make things feel all the more dramatic.

Grabity is an arena brawler where players take on the role of a robot that controls a unique gun that can be used to pick up random objects to use as either projectiles or a shield. From there, it’s an intense battle to see who comes out on top. Fortunately, the gameplay is pretty easy to get into with the developers using a twin-stick approach. 

The game allows up to four players in either local or online matches. It’s simple but addicting, and if you’re not sure if this title is worth the purchase, you can try a free demo right on Steam.

#18 Lego The Lord of the Rings

Release Date:  November 13, 2012 | Platform:  PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One
Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: No 
Co-op: (Local: ?? | Online: ??)
Genre: Adventure, Action, Funny, Casual, Puzzle

PC | Xbox

There are so many great Lego games out there perfect for players of all ages. It’s tough to pick just one, given the number of properties that have been given the brick treatment. We’ve simply chosen a favorite–Lego The Lord of the Rings. In this game, players work together as part of The Fellowship during their quest to destroy the One Ring.

Being a Lego-based game, the narrative is toned down for a wider audience. Meanwhile, the gameplay mixes in button mashing to defeat enemies and plenty of puzzles to solve throughout the campaign. Additionally, this game condenses the entire trilogy storyline. This is just an example of one Lego-based title that you could pick up, but overall, the gameplay mainly remains the same throughout all the various titles.

#17 Don’t Starve Together

Release Date:  April 23, 2013 | Platform:  PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch
Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: Yes
Co-op: (Local: 6 | Online: 6)
Genre: Exploration, Open World, Survival, Crafting, Horror

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

In Don’t Starve, players are dropped into a dark and dreary world with little instruction about what to do. Players control a scientist named Wilson as he survives through the night with monsters and supernatural enemies hot on his tail. Throughout the game, players will have to search and scavenge the world during the day to gather supplies from firewood to food to survive nightfall. This survival game received a standalone expansion called Don’t Starve Together not long after the game was released. The gameplay remains the same, but multiplayer support has been added. Have fun with a friend or a random player online!

#16 Rayman Legends

Release Date:  September 3, 2013 | Platform:  PC, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch
Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: No
Co-op: (Local: 4 | Online: No)
Genre: Platformer, Adventure, Action, Side Scroller, 2D

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

It’s been a little while since we had a new Rayman title release onto the market. This long-running franchise has quite the fan base and you’ve likely enjoyed some of the earlier titles. If not, Rayman Legends is still a great jumping point if you’d like to play a fantastic platformer.

Overall, the game narrative is simple: a dark force has taken over the lands and captured the princesses. Now, it’s up to Rayman along with his friends in order to rescue them. The gameplay is simplistic and involves defeating enemies along with solving some puzzles that will allow the players to progress further into the campaign. What makes this a great co-op game is that the title will allow players to seamlessly drop into the level at any point.

#15 The Witness

Release Date: January 26, 2016 | Platform: PC, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One
Camera: First Person
Multiplayer: No
Co-op: (Local: No | Online: No)
Genre: Puzzle, Exploration, Open World, Adventure, Mystery

PC | Xbox | PlayStation

Who doesn’t love a good puzzle? The Witness is nothing but a puzzle game, in which players are dropped on an island filled with puzzles that only get more complex and vague as you progress. The experience is quite soothing and visually appealing, and while it’s a more quiet and laid-back experience, it’s a breath of fresh air.

You might find this game to be a bit less baffling with the help of another player. Unfortunately, this is a single-player video game experience–but the game is all about looking at puzzles from multiple perspectives. It’s a perfect title to hand the controller back and forth.

#14 Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine

Release Date:  April 24, 2013 | Platform:  PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch
Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: Yes

Genre: Stealth, Indie, Heist, 2D, Strategy

PC | Xbox | Nintendo

Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine throws players into a heist as they attempt to score some big loot while not getting caught. Played from a top-down perspective, players will start a heist by picking out a character, each of which will have a unique attribute. After this, you’ll attempt to grab all of the goods in a level without drawing attention or losing your life. You’ll either successfully execute a major heist without any hitches or end up in a chaotic mess as you and your friends flee for your lives.

Camera: Third Person

Co-op: (Local: 2 | Online: 2)
Genre: Action, Advenute, Hack and Slash, Loot, Action RPG

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

If you enjoyed the original Darksiders games, Darksiders: Genesis throws players into a prequel as they take on the role of Strife, the last horseman, given the task of hunting down Lucifer. As a result, you’ll take on all kinds of demonic forces in an epic hack and slash action-packed installment to the series. This is also the first time that a game in the franchise has recieved a cooperative multiplayer mode. 

Players can go through the game together either online or locally via split-screen. You can still enjoy this game if you haven’t played a Darksiders title before, and it might even inspire you to play the past installments to see how the narrative continues.

Pummel Party is an excellent title for fans of the old Mario Party games. A more grown-up version of Nintendo’s classic party game, players progress through board games and participate in a slew of mini-games. Up to eight players are allowed to join either online or locally. Players will make their way through the hazardous terrains of the board game in the hopes of winning the match while being tossed into crazy mini-games. Of course, if you don’t have enough players to fill a lobby, you can allow bots to join in and let the mayhem commence. 

#11 Spelunky 2

Release Date:  September 29, 2020 | Platform:  PC, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch
Camera: Third Person

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

In Spelunky 2, players control a spelunker in search of treasure within a series of different caves. While underground, players are susceptible to enemies, traps, and, of course, damsels in need of rescuing. Spelunky is eternally entertaining and unique as levels are randomly generated with four distinct areas that increase in difficulty. The second installment only adds to the fun, with more treasure to loot, dangerous caverns to explore, and people in need of rescue. Best of all, the sequel added cooperative gameplay with secondary player options available both locally and online.

PC | Xbox | PlayStation

We Were Here is a puzzle game that requires two players and an online connection. The game throws players into an abandoned castle where they get separated. However, because they both have access to walkie-talkies, players can stay in communication and work out how to complete puzzles and escape the castle together. Similar to other titles on this list, you have to play through the game with a secondary player as the game requires communication to explain where you’re located and the puzzles that need to be solved. This is also not a very long title, coming in at around three hours.

#9 Tick Tock: A Tale For Two

Release Date:  February 28, 2019 | Platform:  PC, Switch
Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: No
Co-op: (Local: No | Online: 2)
Genre: Puzzle, Adventure, Indie, Casual, 2D

PC | Nintendo

Tick Tock: A Tale For Two adapts a Scandinavian fairy tale into a puzzle game made for two players. In the narrative, players are trapped in an unusual world, and to escape, they’ll need to solve several cryptic clues. However, the entire puzzle is not shown on any one particular screen. Instead, this game is played with two devices as you talk with each other through voice chat. 

From there, players must figure out how to solve the puzzles by explaining what is shown on their screens. The puzzles can get frustrating, so talking through the problem is crucial. If you’re after a long game, this one might not be for you, coming in at around two hours.

#8 Outward

PC | Xbox | PlayStation

Outward is a survival RPG that can be played with a friend both locally and online. In this game, players are set to survive the world of Aurai, but to do so, they’ll need to be prepared for the worse. It’s all about exploration and questing in this game, with a large open-world map perfect for those with wanderlust. With a map that doesn’t offer any guidance, players will have to figure out not only where to go, but where they are currently located. As mentioned, survival is a big part of this game as well–the world is harsh and you’ll need to monitor your vitals, ensuring your character is not thirsty and has the right gear equipped for the season.

Outside of that, the combat is broken up between utilizing melee-style weapons and spellcasting. So far, two DLC expansions have been introduced to add more content into the world of Outward.

Genre: 2D, Funny, Beat em Up, Hack and Slash, Action

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

Castle Crashers is a pretty iconic indie title from the development team The Behemoth. The studio has gone on to create other games, but you’ve likely played Castle Crashers before, or are at least familiar. It’s a hack and slash title where players take on the role of a knight that must defend the kingdom from all sorts of enemies. 

Visually, the game is a 2D side-scroller where players face a series of boss battles. Up to four players can join in the battle in what will take most players about seven hours to complete. If you haven’t tried this game yet, you’re missing out on a gem.

#6 Overcooked 2

Release Date:  August 7, 2018 | Platform:  PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch
Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: Yes
Co-op: (Local: 4 | Online: 4)
Genre: Casual, Funny, Comedy, Cooking, Difficult

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

Working in a kitchen is tough, but it’s probably not as tough as Overcooked makes it out to be. For those of you who want an over-the-top party game experience, Overcooked is the stress-inducing title for you. In particular, it’s worth diving into Overcooked 2, which comes packed with more levels and more insanity. Within the game, players take on the role of cooks that are tasked with completing dishes correctly and on time–no matter what obstacles are in their way.

With a group of players working together, things shouldn’t be too hard to complete, right? Well, this game throws players into some really wacky kitchens and locations. You’ll find the layout constantly changing and obstacles getting in the way of where you need to go. As a result, players are constantly swapping dishes around and attempting to get everything out in a timely fashion. It’s chaotic, mindless fun that will have players throwing their dishes and ingredients around the kitchen as the clock winds down.

#5 Stardew Valley

Release Date:  February 26, 2016 | Platform:  PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch
Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: No
Co-op: (Local: 4 | Online: 4)
Genre: Farming Sim, Life Sim, Pixel Graphics, RPG, Open World

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

Taking some inspiration from the Harvest Moon franchise, Stardew Valley was created by indie developer ConcernedApe. The game put players in control of a rundown farm with the goal of making it profitable again by raising healthy crops and livestock. This will mean tending the weeds, clearing fields, planting seeds, watering crops, maintaining the livestock, supplying food, and harvesting goods. Working together to make the best possible farm manages to be both engaging and eternally relaxing, and most call this the ultimate ‘zen’ game.

#4 Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

Release Date:  September 9, 2015 | Platform:  PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch
Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: No
Co-op: (Local: 4 | Online: No)
Genre: Action, Indie, Space, Cute, 2D

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is an indie hit and a very simple game to understand, but as the game progresses, it’s extremely difficult to master. In this game, players are in command of a spaceship where they must explore the galaxy. However, it’s not always that easy, as there are different enemies and hazards you’ll have to face on your trip. Being a big ship, there are several stations located around that make it difficult to quickly move to another area. That’s where having co-op available will come in handy, as multiple players can jump around the ship and maintain attributes such as weapons, shields, and engines.

As you progress you’ll have the ability to make upgrades to give your ship a unique load-out. Furthermore, the levels are randomized so you can always find something new to explore each time you start the game up. However, much like other titles on this list, you can add more than just two players to this game. Developers Asteroid Base has made this title to support up to four players.

#3 Portal 2

Release Date:  April 19, 2011 | Platform:  PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch
Camera: First Person
Multiplayer: No
Co-op: (Local: 2 | Online: 2)
Genre: Platformer, Puzzle, Dark Humor, Funny, Sci-Fi

PC | Xbox | Nintendo

The Portal franchise from Valve only has two mainline installments, and if you’re planning some cooperative fun, you’ll need to pick up Portal 2. This game came out in 2011 and is a lot like The Witness, a game we mentioned earlier. Overall, Portal is a puzzle game, but it’s a puzzle game that focuses on a device that can create wormholes. 

Portal 2 offers players a new collection of levels to complete. With the use of a Portal Gun, players can create wormholes that connect. It’s a bit difficult to explain in writing, but once you see some footage you’ll immediately understand the gameplay premise. These levels will have players thinking outside of the box and it can be quite challenging.

#2 A Way Out

Release Date:  March 23, 2018 | Platform:  PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One
Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: No
Co-op: (Local: 2 | Online: 2)
Genre: Story Rich, Action, Adventure, Crime, Emotional

PC | Xbox | PlayStation

Instead of relying on a multiplayer aspect because it’s more fun, A Way Out does so because single-player is simply not an option. You play as either Leo or Vincent you try to escape from prison with a friend in split-screen mode. Don’t want to buy the game? No problem. You can still play with someone who owns it without having it yourself so long as you are playing with that person. Besides the fun of trying to escape from prison, you can also enjoy fun mini-games like arm wrestling, spearfishing, and more as part of a mode called Grenade Brothers. You’ll definitely want to take advantage of this compelling story with a good buddy.

#1 It Takes Two 

Release Date:  March 26, 2021 | Platform:  PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One
Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: No
Co-op: (Local: 2 | Online: 2)
Genre: Puzzle, Action, Adventure, Emotional, Platformer

PC | Xbox | PlayStation

It Takes Two stole the show in 2021, named Game of the Year and becoming one of the best co-op games on the market. The title is designed specifically for co-op split screen, meaning that you have to play with another player either in person or online. There are tons of unique game mechanics and puzzles to solve throughout, along with plenty of minigames. The underlying story might hit home for a lot of people and there are plenty of themes that can definitely bring tears to your eyes, but at the end of the day, this is just a fun title, plain and simple.

Genre: Funny, Adventure, Physics, Sandbox, Comedy

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

Human: Fall Flat is a wacky game that was released back in 2016, but its continued popularity has allowed the game to continue on with multiple new ports. This is a physics-based puzzle platformer where players take on the role of a humanoid character who can freely explore the world and attempt to reach new areas by grabbing objects, moving them around, and working with other players.

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

Unravel is a unique platformer where players control a character made of yarn. To maneuver around the levels and obstacles, players need to ensure that they have enough yarn unraveled and free from any snags. It was during E3 2018 that we received the surprise release of Unravel Two, a new installment that takes the same core gameplay mechanics and adds a secondary player option. Now with two characters, you’ll need to work together to complete another difficult series of puzzles and hostile environments.

With a limited amount of yarn restricting their movement, the game mixes puzzle elements with platforming. It’s a fun little series, though sadly, it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting an Unravel Three.

Camera: Third Person
Multiplayer: No
Co-op: (Local: 2 | Online: No)
Genre: Romance, Advenute, Story Rich, Sci-Fi, RPG

PC | Xbox | PlayStation | Nintendo

How far would you go for love? In Haven, you play as a couple who have given up everything in order to be together, including leaving their homeworld and going to a forgotten planet just so they can try to live together in peace and happiness. After all, they only need each other for company.

Naturally, things don’t go as planned, but that’s part of the fun. Players will control these characters in both combat and other activities as they attempt to survive from one day to the next. You’ll live together, work together, fight together, and through it all, you’ll grow your relationship. This may is not the game you expected, but it might just be the game you need.
