A little history

Co-op games have been popular on game consoles of the last century. Suffice it to recall the hits of the Dendy console, which was widespread in the post-Soviet space: Battle City, Chip and Dale, Battletoads, Double Dragon - these games, designed specifically for playing together, were no less loved than competitive projects - fighting games or sports simulators like Street Fighter and FIFA . Exploring levels and dealing with enemies together at the same console was priceless.

Co-op Games Today

With the development of technology, the co-op mode has received a lot of new opportunities - especially on PC. Modern cooperative games, in particular shooters, can be completed by playing over a local network or via the Internet; thus, the partner may be in another city, country or even on another continent.

Co-op shooters give gamers a completely different experience than single-player or competitive games. There is no need to confront each other; on the contrary, mutual assistance and teamwork are important in such games. To please all categories of gamers, many developers add single-player, competitive, and cooperative modes to their projects.

Diablo series

Release date: 1996-2012

A trilogy of games in the action/RPG genre, made in the style of dark fantasy and telling about the confrontation between people (descendants of the nephalems) and the embodiments of evil, the main one of which is the Lord of Terror - Diablo. The series is distinguished by the presence of several characters with their own unique abilities, a huge number of monsters that are reborn every time the game is started, as well as randomly generated locations. The advantages of these games should also include the possibility of cooperative play. The game on the Nesham website is included in the tops:

The series is currently Blizzard Entertainment's most successful franchise. The release of each part was a real event for the gaming community. The series consists of three main games: Diablo (1996), Diablo II (2000) and Diablo III (2012). Each of the games also came with an expansion pack that added additional levels and features to the game. The third part has co-op and multiplayer, which allows you to play the game together.

Half-Life 1 and 2

Release date: the first - 1998, the second - 2004.

A series of sci-fi first-person shooters that tell us the story of theoretical physicist Gordon Freeman, who is also the only one who can save the Earth from aliens. The games in the series are almost icons of the genre, largely due to the exciting gameplay, thoughtful level design and unusual plot presentation. In addition, the engine of the second part of the Source game (of course, significantly improved) is even today actively used by game makers to create their projects.

Despite the fact that every game in the Half-Life series is a single-player game, for a certain time Valve has been giving out a modification for co-op absolutely free of charge. In fact, the game becomes reoriented towards two players, receives new puzzles and a number of cooperative opportunities.

Serious Sam series

Release date: 2001-2011

Genre: First Person Shooter

A series of first-person shooters that stand out from many similar games with their whirlwind gameplay, when the player needs to shoot back from a huge number of opponents, using an equally huge arsenal of weapons. The total number of enemies per game can reach several thousand! Battles are cleverly diluted with simple puzzles and searching for keys, as well as jumping on platforms, dodging spikes, etc.

Another feature of this series is the possibility of cooperative completion of levels. Players liked the opportunity to smash various monsters to pieces together with a partner. Add a bit of absurd humor and an original storytelling style, and it becomes immediately clear why Serious Sam is very popular among players even today.

Garry's Mod

Release date: 2004

Genre: First person shooter,

A kind of physical “sandbox” that allows you to manipulate various objects independently or together with friends and conduct experiments with the physics of the Source game engine. Using this modification, you can, for example, connect, copy, change sizes or textures, and perform other actions with various game objects based on the Source engine. In addition, in addition to the “sandbox” mode, the modification has several fun online game modes.

It is worth noting that for the modification to work, players will need any game on the Source engine. In this case, the objects and characters of Half-Life 2 will immediately become available to the player, because they are included in the main distribution of the engine. Other games will allow you to use their content in the sandbox.

Samurai Warriors 2

Release date: 2006

Genre: Third person action,

The second part of the famous hack'n'slash series, which added several new characters, as well as a number of new features. The game begins with a choice of sides fighting for power over Japan. After choosing from the sides, the player is asked to choose a character (26 are initially available, the rest are revealed as you progress), each of which has its own characteristics of combat. In addition to the standard campaign, the game has a survival mode, and also features the ability to play together.

The lion's share of the time we will rush around different ends of the map, destroying ordinary opponents and officers in batches. For defeating enemies we receive gold and experience. The first is used to purchase equipment and some abilities, the second is used to improve your characteristics. Improved characters make more powerful combos and can use their super attack more often.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Release date: 2007

Genre: First person shooter,

A first-person shooter dedicated, as you might guess, modern warfare. The game is distinguished by high-quality, precise gameplay, an excellent plot and its competent presentation. The first game in the Modern Warfare subseries, in which the developers for the first time decided to move away from World War II. The project was highly appreciated by both critics and players. The excellent multiplayer mode played a significant role in this.

In multiplayer, players have access to several modes, in particular: Free play (every man for himself), Team battle, Championship (capture flags), Headquarters (capture and hold headquarters), Sabotage (planting a bomb and protecting your base from it), Find and destroy (the same thing, only one team must plant the bomb, the second must prevent this from happening). In subsequent parts of the subseries, modes for cooperative play were also implemented.

Gears of War series

Release date: 2006-2016

A series of third-person shooters in which the main game feature is the player's use of cover, as well as the competent combination of tactical movement around the level with shooting. Players have access to an impressive arsenal of weapons, including a standard assault rifle with a built-in chainsaw for close-range attacks. The gameplay is very dynamic, and the games in the series also feature the ability to play through the story campaign cooperatively. In addition to co-op, the games offer a number of multiplayer competitive modes.

The games in the series were awarded a number of awards, including as the best game projects of the year, as well as for their graphic performance. Players appreciate the franchise for its hardcore, action and the ability to play together with friends. The first title sold over three million copies in ten weeks and became the fastest-selling game of 2006 and the second most popular game on Xbox Live during 2007.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Release date: 2007

Genre: Third person shooter,

A third-person action game based on the interaction of two completely different characters. The game is designed primarily for cooperative play, and when playing solo, your partner will be controlled by artificial intelligence. The game focuses heavily on the story and gunplay, in which the player can hide behind various objects and shoot blindly. The levels are fairly linear, but there is often the possibility of a tactical bypass.

Features of the game also include the ability to exchange weapons with allies, as well as the fact that the player almost never has to look for ammunition, since a partner can always give out a small portion of the necessary ammunition. In addition to the story campaign, the game also has a network mode, where players need to steal as much money as possible from the bank.

Left for Dead

Release date: the first - 2008, the second - 2009.

Genre: First person shooter, survival horror

A cooperative first-person shooter with elements of survival horror, in which the player, in the company of three other friends, has to go through various levels filled with a huge amount of all kinds of “dead stuff”. If the player runs alone, the rest of the characters will be played by AI. The main feature of the game is the presence of a so-called “director”, who adjusts the gameplay depending on the actions of the players, making each playthrough unique.

The project received many positive reviews, as well as a number of significant awards, largely due to its unique gameplay, with an emphasis on team action, as well as a gloomy atmosphere of horror and despair. On November 17, 2009, the second part was released, which subsequently added maps and campaigns of the first part. It is worth noting that a lot of people still play the game.

Resident Evil 5 and 6

Release date: 1996-2017

Genre: Third person shooter, zombies,

Two parts of the famous game series, made in the genre of third-person shooters, in which the player, in the company of a partner (controlled by a second player or artificial intelligence), goes through all sorts of missions filled with various mutants and zombies. The games are divided into small chapters, often with a mandatory boss at the end. Between chapters, the player can purchase equipment or improve existing ones.

The main difference between the sixth part and the fifth is the presence of as many as four story campaigns, the events of which take place in parallel with each other and often intersect at key points. Moreover, each of the campaigns is slightly different in gameplay. Thus, the campaign for Leon and Helena is more similar to the classic Resident Evil, and the campaign for Chris and Pierce is reminiscent of the fifth part of the franchise.

Killing Floor 1 and 2

Release date: P first - 2005, second - 2015.

Genre: First person shooter, zombies

A duology of games in the genre of a cooperative first-person shooter with elements of survival horror, in which six people on one of the maps must destroy many mutants and then defeat a powerful boss in the end. Depending on the game settings, the boss appears after the 4th, 7th or 10th wave of monsters. Between waves, players can purchase weapons and equipment from the store (money is earned by killing mutants). There is also a small RPG element here. In particular, you can improve your character’s perks for the experience gained in battles.

Both parts of the game were warmly received by the gaming community. Many noted the similarity of this project with the game Left 4 Dead, but at the same time emphasized that the Killing Floor franchise is not without its own uniqueness and is definitely capable of leaving a positive impression.

Trine 1-3

Release date: 2009-2015

A trilogy that combines genres such as 2D fantasy platformer, RPG and puzzle. The main feature of the games in the series is the ability to complete levels as three different characters at once, switching between them at the right time. Each of the characters has their own unique skills that will be necessary for the player at different stages of the levels.

The locations are built in such a way that sooner or later the player has to take control of one or another character. For example, a knight can fight with opponents and use a shield to protect the team from enemy projectiles. The thief uses a bow and arrow, as well as a grappling hook. The magician has the ability to create objects and move them in space. The games in the series also include co-op for 3 people and special levels for playing together.

Borderlands 1 and 2

Release date: the first - 2009, the second - 2012.

Two parts of a cooperative first-person shooter with RPG elements, in which 1 or 2 players go through a story campaign, completing main and secondary NPC tasks. The game has several playable characters with their own unique skills, many quests (which is more typical for MMORPGs) and a lot of all kinds of loot (weapons, upgrade modules, etc.).

The game implements interesting feature– procedurally generated weapons and items that can receive improved firepower or, for example, effects such as setting the enemy on fire. The same system is used to create special enemies that players encounter along the way. It is also worth noting the unique hand-drawn style, which has become a kind of calling card of the series.

Lost Planet 2 and 3

Release date: 2006-2013

Genre: Third person shooter about aliens,

Two parts of the famous third-person shooter, which partly copy the gameplay of the first game in the series. Specifically, we have mechanized armor, extreme terrain, and huge boss battles. There is also an RPG element here. The main difference between the second and third parts of the series is the presence of co-op, thanks to which players of up to four people can go through the story campaign.

In addition to the story campaign and co-op, the games in the series have several multiplayer modes, which also feature deeper character customization, including a wide selection of models of the face, legs, torso, etc. In general, the projects received mostly positive reviews, in which players noted excellent multiplayer content and original monster designs.

Magicka 1 and 2

Release date: the first - 2011, the second - 2015.

Genre: Arcade, fantasy, magic

A fun action-adventures focused on co-op. In both parts of the series, the player, in the role of one of the wizards, in the company of his friends (up to 4 players), must go through all kinds of levels in order to stop the “Dark Evil”. The series amazes with a huge number of all kinds of magical combinations, as well as absurd situations that arise as it progresses. The degree of absurdity is also increased by the fact that friendly fire is always on here and with some particularly massive spell you can accidentally fry your comrades. Such errors will occur to you often, moreover, the game expects and demands them from you!

In general, the whole point of the series is in the cheerful co-op, which is equipped with a huge amount of humor. The games also contain references to everything possible, various secrets and artifacts, as well as a flexible spell system based on the combination of various elements (which often gives unpredictable and sometimes even funny results).

Terraria

Release date: 2011

Genre: Arcade, adventure, RPG, sandbox,

An adventure indie sandbox in which the player can explore the world, mine resources, create various objects and structures, fight monsters, and all this in a huge randomly generated 2D location. At the same time, the location has a clear zoning, and some types of monsters or resources can only be found in a certain zone. The variety of items, equipment and enemies in the game is very large, in particular, the number of items alone here exceeds 2000!

With one of the patches, co-op was added to the game, as well as an “expert mode”. In the co-op mode, several people can now explore the world at once, and the “expert mode” significantly complicates the game, in particular, the mobs become stronger, and the dropped loot is much less than in normal modes.

Portal 2

Release date: 2011

Genre: First person puzzle

The second part of the famous “portal” puzzle with a first-person view, which develops and improves the gameplay of the first part. The gameplay here is also built around a special device that allows you to create portals in space and instantly move to Right place. In addition to moving the player directly, the portal gun also helps move various objects (for example, companion cubes or turrets). The game is among the top games with

Among the many gameplay innovations in Portal 2, it is worth noting the presence of a cooperative mode, which allows you to complete levels in the company of another player. Moreover, each player can use both their own portals and those of their partner (although there is no connection between all four portals in the game). Most co-op puzzles also rely on players interacting with various elements (often using portals), but co-op is much more complex than solo play.

Lord of the Rings: War in the North

Release date: 2011

Genre: RPG, third person action

An action role-playing game with elements of co-op for up to three people, based on the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, in which players take on the role of one of several heroes and travel to various locations in the world of Middle-earth. The project does not repeat the hackneyed plots of the original trilogy, but highlights events unfolding parallel to the main plot of the books, thereby expanding the LotR universe.

There are three characters in the game, each of which has its own abilities and will be much better at something than the others (for example, the elf specializes in healing the team and raising morale, and the dwarf is good for frontal attacks and withstanding large quantity damage). On their way, the heroes will meet many different monsters, and at the end of each level they will have a boss battle, after which they can get useful loot and level up their character.

Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide

Release date: the first - 2011, the second - 2013.

Genre: First person shooter with RPG elements, zombies, open world

First-person action game in the survival horror genre with role-playing elements, a huge open world and an emphasis on cooperative passage of the story campaign.

Now the player in the role of one of the characters, having gathered a company of up to three of his friends, will have to find out the cause of the pandemic, and then escape from one, and then from another, infected island.

The basis of the gameplay here is to explore the island, fight with the infected, and complete main and secondary quests. During the course of the game, players gain experience, which can be spent on leveling up their character, and also find supplies and weapons. The latter breaks down as you use it, so you will have to constantly look for the best weapon (or repair and/or improve the existing one).

Overcooked 1 and 2

Release date: the first - 2012, the second - 2018.

Genre: Indie

A cooperative arcade game designed for completing levels in a company of up to four people on one screen, in which the best chefs from all over the world must save the world from an eternally hungry monster (in the first part of the game) and the Walking Bread (in the second). The project features funny cartoon graphics and original gameplay.

Each level here represents a unique location (cafe, pirate ship, crater active volcano, ice blocks, etc.), where players create culinary masterpieces and feed visitors for a while. At the same time, something at the level constantly interferes with the completion of the assigned tasks. For example, due to the rocking motion on the ship, players will constantly have to chase plates moving back and forth, and on ice blocks it is very difficult to stand on your own.

Torchlight II

Release date: 2012

Genre: Third person RPG, indie,

An action RPG in a steampunk world, where the player, represented by one of four characters, must complete levels, fight monsters, collect loot and level up his character. In some ways the game is reminiscent of the famous Diablo, however, with its own unique features. So, in particular, the game contains familiars, it is possible to catch fish, and in general there are some gameplay “tricks” that are more suitable for the MMORPG genre.

There is also the possibility of cooperative play (for the absence of which many criticized the first part of the game). Co-op supports play for up to six people, with the number of players directly influencing the number of opponents thrown against them. The multiplayer game itself remains the same as the single-player game without any special innovations.

Dead Space 3

Release date: 2013

Genre: Third person shooter, survival horror,

A third-person sci-fi survival horror game that is final game in the Dead Space trilogy. Compared to previous installments of the franchise, the gameplay has undergone significant changes. So, for example, our character can crouch and hide behind cover, and the opponents are not only necromorphs, but also fanatical soldiers, and therefore battles can take place on three sides at once. Another feature of the gameplay is the possibility of playing the game cooperatively for two people.

Interestingly, the cooperative version of the game has some differences from the single player version. For example, some side quests can only be obtained in co-op. In addition, each player can from time to time experience hallucinations that are invisible to their partner, and begin to react to them (for example, shooting in different directions at non-existent enemies, hitting their friend).

Don't Starve

One of the features of the game is that there is no training here - just take it and master everything yourself.

In April 2016, a multiplayer version of the game was released, in which all previously released content was embedded, and a number of innovations were added. So, for example, now the character does not die, but becomes a ghost with his own abilities and skills. In addition, in survival mode it is possible to resurrect each other. In addition, the multiplayer game can take place both cooperatively and with the possibility of PVP.

Payday 2

Release date: 2013

A cooperative bank robbery simulator in the first-person shooter genre. At the beginning of the battle, the owner of the gaming room chooses a contract and its complexity, after which a team of four people goes on missions. The tasks in the game are very diverse - it could be robbing a bank or a jewelry store, or maybe guarding a drug laboratory. In addition to the main tasks, the game contains random events that significantly diversify the gameplay.

The game is designed exclusively for team actions. This is especially well revealed in the division of characters into classes, each of which will be very useful during the passage. In general, competent pumping plays a very important role here. And it’s much more interesting to play with a well-developed and well-played team than with random players who sometimes may not behave very adequately.

Saints Row IV

Release date: 2013

Genre: Third person shooter, mafia,

An open-world, third-person action-adventure game in which the player controls the leader of the Third Street Saints gang and becomes President of the United States in the process!

On our website the game is included in the top games with.

The game is distinguished by an abundance of humor, whirlwind gameplay (most of which is made possible thanks to the superpowers of the main character), as well as the incredible convenience of all game mechanics. One of the advantages is also worth noting the presence of a cooperative, which was added to Saints Row 4 with one of the additions. In it, the main character's associates from the main plot are sent to hell to free their boss from his forced marriage to Satan's daughter.

Arma 3

Release date: 2013

Genre: First person shooter, open world

Tactical first-person shooter with role-playing game elements. This is essentially a hardcore military simulator, where your shots will be affected by parameters such as gravity or wind, and the body position or fatigue of the character will have a positive or negative effect on your shooting accuracy.

Another innovation is the presence of drones, which allow you to quietly find out the location of the enemy.

Network play and co-op are implemented in the game, however, not all missions are available for co-op, which, however, can be solved with the help of the Steam workshop, where a fruitful community of fans has released great amount modifications, including for co-op.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes

Release date: 2013

Genre: Third person action, RPG

One of the many games in the Lego series, made in the action-adventure genre and telling about the adventures of the superheroes of the Marvel universe. The game is a prequel to Lego Marvel's Avengers, but has an original plot in which Nick Fury assembles a team of superhumans. In general, the gameplay is not very different from other games under the logo of the famous designer. Alone or in the company of a partner, we run through the levels, fight enemies and solve simple puzzles, collecting Lego pieces along the way that fall out of almost any object.

Unlike other Lego games, the gameplay has become more dynamic, and we have the whole Manhattan open for exploration, in which we can steal cars (like in some GTA), help non-player characters and destroy almost everything around. Naturally, doing this in the company of your friend is many times more interesting and fun.

Insurgency

For the sake of realism, there are no interface elements on the screen, and the player’s death occurs after 1-2 hits.

The game literally forces allies to act together, because otherwise you will simply be destroyed by a more competent and tactically savvy enemy. Entering this game after some CS or Battlefield, you literally understand that you are just a burden and have never played real shooters. The game will require straight hands, good reactions and the ability to act harmoniously in a team.

Divinity: Original Sin

Release date: 2014

There is also a co-op mode in which 2 players can go through the storyline (and 4 players can play in multiplayer).

The game features deep interaction with the world. For example, almost all items can be transferred here or tried to be combined with each other. In addition, various elements can interact with each other here, for example, a wet enemy will receive less damage from fire). In general, the project turned out to be very deep and will certainly appeal to all fans of the genre.

Destiny

Release date: 2014

Genre: First person shooter, RPG

A futuristic online first-person shooter that also includes MMO elements. The story campaign in the game is a kind of preparation of the player for high-level multiplayer content, in which Destiny is revealed in all its glory. And even the joint passage of the initial stages is tied to the level of the players, i.e. You won’t be able to get into a team with players much stronger or weaker than you.

The game has three character classes, and each of the characters also has a special Ghost robot that constantly accompanies us and helps us in every possible way. The gameplay is designed for cooperative play, since, as in many MMOs, independent play here is uninteresting and ineffective. In multiplayer, there are several modes, and random events periodically appear on the maps, in which, with proper luck, we can participate.

Dungeon of the Endless

Release date: 2014

Genre: RPG, indie, tower defense

An exciting roguelike game with elements of such genres as tactics, strategy, RPG and tower defense. The premise of the game is simple, we are on a prison ship crashing over a planet, which we now need to explore by choosing a couple of characters and, with their help, making our way up from the dungeon into which the spaceship landed. The locations here are divided into rooms in which both monsters and something valuable can appear. Moreover, in already completed rooms, monsters are guaranteed to appear and will head towards the crystal sticking out of the wreckage of the ship (its destruction entails loss), so the player will have to worry about defense.

The game also features excellent co-op, in which you not only have to micromanage, but also coordinate with a partner (or partners of up to 4 players). Those. in battles you have to agree on who is responsible for what, divide resources in half and decide who will build what now.

Genre: MMO, first and third person shooter, survival, zombies

A first/third person action game with sandbox and survival horror elements, positioning itself as a global rethinking of DayZ with its own unique features. In general, everything is quite standard for the genre - we have a huge location in which we appear with practically no means of subsistence. There is despondency and devastation all around, caused by the apocalypse, but we must simply survive, getting food, drink, uniforms, weapons, etc.

The game has the possibility of co-op. Surviving with a friend is much more interesting, given that the game world is extremely aggressive. Zombies can appear completely unexpectedly, and aggressive other players cause a lot of trouble. The game is in the open test stage, but it’s good that the developers are constantly improving the game and adding a lot of new content to it.

Depth

Release date: 2014

Genre: First Person Shooter

A multiplayer action game in which the player can take control of a huge shark or a diver. Obviously, the gameplay will be different in both cases. So, for example, a shark relies on its own strength and stealth (there is even the possibility of improving its skills), and a diver, whose task is to extract treasure from the depths, can acquire weapons and equipment to better resist the predator.

There can be up to four divers and two sharks in one round. The arsenal of scuba divers includes all kinds of mines, grenades, underwater pistols, knives, harpoons, tracking systems, turrets, etc. It would seem that with such an arsenal, sharks are in a losing situation. But be that as it may! The game developers have done a good job of balancing the sides, so every fight between humans and a predator will be unique and unpredictable.

Teamwork is the key to success in this game, as evidenced by the dynamism of the battle and the firepower of the opponents.

In general, everything here is done on high level. Arrive in an armored vehicle vehicle into the midst of enemies and causing chaos there - an incomparable pleasure. The game contains a lot of beetles and robots, a competent mixture of dynamics and stealth, as well as excellent humor and high-quality graphics.

The GTA Online multiplayer mode can offer even more opportunities to players, in which you can explore the world alone or with friends, perform special cooperative missions (including bank robberies), take part in all sorts of competitions and third-party entertainment, or simply cause total mayhem .

Combat takes place from a third person perspective. Here the player can use both weapons and powerful spells. There are battles with epic bosses, random events, and much more. Another advantage of the project is the presence of a cooperative of up to four people, which allows you to explore dungeons, build buildings and fight opponents together.

Tom Clancy's The Division

Release date: 2016

Genre: Third person shooter, post-apocalyptic

A third-person co-op action game set in the near future in New York City. The player finds himself in the center of a viral epidemic, and eliminating its consequences will directly depend on the actions of all participants in the game. The project is structured in such a way that the most suitable teammates for your playing style will be selected for your team, and the total group size can reach four people.

As the player progresses, he will find himself in the so-called “dark zone,” which is essentially a PVP and PVE zone.

Here players must find various in-game items and then evacuate them using a helicopter.

Release date: 2016

Genre: Third person action, horror,

All characters here are controlled by living players, while both survivors and killers have their own unique gameplay and playstyle.

During the game, all characters can be upgraded. In addition, between game sessions you can purchase various items that can help in survival (or vice versa in killing survivors). In general, the game offers a fairly varied gameplay, and if for the killer the variability of the passage is limited only by the skills of a particular character, then for the survivors players can choose whether to act together or try to survive on their own.

Battlefield 1

Release date: 2016

Genre: First person shooter,

Online first-person shooter based on the events of the First World War. And although the game has a single-player campaign, the main emphasis here is still on multiplayer. The player has four classes to choose from, each with their own set of skills, abilities and weapons. Map battles can include up to 64 players. The game has various locations and a variety of equipment that can be used.

In general, the gameplay is largely traditional for the series, but the developers tried to make everything much more interesting, larger-scale, cooler, which, by the way, they did. The game is captivating from the first minutes, largely thanks to the gameplay, polished to the smallest detail and incredibly beautiful graphics, for which the project received a number of prestigious awards. I’m also glad that the developers release large-scale DLC with enviable frequency.

TheHunter: Call of the Wild

Release date: 2017

Genre: First person shooter, hunting simulator, adventure

A hunter simulator with a first-person view, in which literally everything is wonderful: a huge open world, a wide variety of all kinds of game, colorful graphics and even a cooperative mode for joint hunting. Among the minuses, it is worth noting the not very high-quality optimization of the game, which the developers, hopefully, will correct in subsequent patches.

The first thing I would like to note here is the locations that amaze with their beauty. And although this project is about hunting, there is something to do in the game besides killing animals. So, for example, here you can collect antlers, find notes, photograph local beauties, etc. The game is leisurely and meditative, so the project is very much for everyone, but this is rather not a minus, but rather its feature. It's a little more fun to play with a partner, so co-op is highly recommended, especially if you're new to this genre.

PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS

Release date: 2017

Genre: Third person shooter, adventure

The essence of the game is to be the last survivor on the island. You can play solo, duo, or in a squad of up to 3-4 people.

The game as a whole is very dynamic, and at a certain moment it encourages players to take active action by creating the so-called white, blue and red zones. The white zone is safe, in the blue zone players gradually lose health, and the red zone is subject to massive shelling. The white and blue circles get smaller after a certain time, forcing players to move towards the center and fight each other.

Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop

Release date: 2017

Genre: Third person shooter, arcade,

An arcade cooperative shooter in an isometric projection, which contains both the original game and a custom modification with a bunch of changes. The premise is simple - to save the planet, a squad of elite fighters is assembled, the character of which we control. In the original game, the squad consisted of four people, in turn, the modification expanded it to eight. It is worth noting that this add-on is no longer focused on the story campaign, which can be played just fine with four players, but on additional modes that are somewhat reminiscent of “mutations” from the game Left 4 Dead.

The essence of the main game is still to exterminate hordes of aliens in the spirit of the good old Alien Shooter, but again, in the company of your friends, which adds more dynamics to the game and a number of unique cooperative features.

Each enemy is painted a certain color, which reflects its vulnerability to one of the elements (fire, ice, etc.). There are also bosses in the game, to which you need to select your own tactics, distributing certain roles between players.

In particular, the weapon in the game determines the fighting style and the player’s role in the team, and armor provides various skills that can and should also be selected to suit your playing style. Players need to craft all this (as well as various drinks, traps, etc.) from resources obtained from monsters and resources found at the location.

What are cooperative games nowadays? First of all, these are online games in which players form teams and fight against bots or against other teams of players. But these can also be regular games on a PC, which, in addition to single players, also have the ability to play online.

Co-op games are deservedly very popular, thanks to such an important component of gameplay as team spirit.

You may also be interested in the TOP 10 online games and the TOP 10 best MMORPGs.

10.Resident Evil 6

Capcom often experiments with its games. If the previous part of Resident Evel failed, then Resident Evel 6 turned out to be very good.

The game has several companies for different characters, and it is best to play through the company in co-op, since the artificial intelligence is a little stupid. By the way, the fifth part also had a pretty good co-op.

9. Left for Dead 2

Again, 4 people can play in co-op. The point of the game is to get to the shelter.

To fight off various zombies, you are given many different weapons. Pistols, shotguns, dynamites, Molotov cocktails, sniper rifles, etc. Also, everything that comes to hand is used.

In addition to ordinary zombies, which you can kill in packs of 20, there are also bosses with whom you have to tinker. There are many different cards in the game, making the passage varied.

If you don’t have enough standard maps, then you can download more, but already made by amateurs.

8. Dead Island

The development of this game lasted more than five years, but still the game came out and turned out to be very good. A good plot, beautiful graphics, enemies are literally dismembered into pieces. The detailing was also impressive. The game almost looks like a well-made movie, where the players are the actors.

There are several characters in the game, and each of them has their own characteristics - some shoot better, while others fight. They won't let us really shoot - there aren't that many cartridges. But hand-to-hand combat - please. If you want, hit with an oar, if you want, hit with a bat.

You can play the game alone or with friends. The second option, of course, is much more interesting and fun.

7. Gears of War: judgment

In fourth place is one of the best Microsoft exclusives.

The most insidious and beautiful game Bill Corporation. Lots of weapons and meat, a very good plot. We won’t even talk about multiplayer - it turned out just great. In our opinion, this is the best part of the Gears of Var series, especially in terms of online play.

Well, if you are not a fan of online battles, we recommend playing the first two parts of the series - they have the best plot.

6.Portal 2

In a co-op Portal 2 The same puzzles await us as in the single-player game. But they will be even more complex and unpredictable. Your partner has a portal gun.

The downside of Portal 2 is that there is only two-player co-op. However, no more is required.

It is worth noting that the map for the co-op is constantly updated, which is very pleasing and generally fits well with the concept of the game, which is based on puzzles, and not just soulless shooting.

5. Army Of Two: The Devil's Cartel

The game takes place in Mexico. We are fighting against drug traffickers.

Thanks to the new engine, destructibility has appeared in the game, and the game itself looks graphically better than its predecessors. A detailed character customization system has also appeared. The game has a very wide arsenal of weapons.

This part of the game places a strong emphasis on teamwork, forcing players to think together in order to complete the tasks assigned to them correctly and efficiently.

4. Dead Space 3

The third part of the famous horror, and now also action, has changed a lot compared to the previous parts. The game takes place on a snowy planet inhabited by necromorphs.

Crafting can be considered the most interesting innovation - now it is not money that falls from defeated enemies, but valuable resources. You can also find resources using a search bot. With these resources, you can produce weapons with or without blueprints.

Changed and appearance characters - now they wear warm suits, which can be changed in the wardrobe.

A co-op is very different from single player- you need to interact with each other and play together. Periodically, one of the players experiences hallucinations, and the second player does not see them. The player, under the influence of hallucinations, can shoot in different directions or even at his partner.

3. Panzar

Free online game Panzar from Russian developers made at the world level, thanks to a modern game engine Cry Engine 3

The graphics have been raised to unprecedented heights. All details on the characters and the surrounding world are worked out carefully. If it’s snow, then it glitters and shimmers in the light, if it’s meadows, then you can see how literally every blade of grass moves, if it’s water, then it gurgles and flows realistically between the stones, the rocks are depicted in the smallest detail, and you can’t even talk about trees to say - they are great!

But for a true gamer, graphics don't matter, you might say, and that's true. What is the gameplay of this project? Is it worth paying attention to it, and how do you even play it?

Read all about the pros and cons of the game in the Panzar review.

2. Metal War Online

When we think about online session games with combat vehicles, we usually think of World of Tanks, War Thunder or Star Conflict. And these are just the most famous examples. At the same time, few people think that there are much more projects of this genre, and their level of quality is often no lower than all kinds of “Tanks”.

Metal War Online is an example of just such a game. This is a free session 3D shooter from Russian developers with a look to the future, which compares favorably with similar projects in terms of action and drive.

Here players do not get bored and hide in the bushes, but fight in co-op with each other in armored, high-speed and killer cars with machine guns, rocket launchers and artillery launchers. How many MMO games do you know with this kind of gameplay?

1. Warframe
