r/CoOpGaming

Been on a big coop kick lately and my friends and I keep cycling through the same handful of popular titles. We've played through the obvious ones and are genuinely hungry for something fresh that doesn't get talked about enough.

I stumbled onto a couple of smaller indie coop games recently that completely blew me away, and it got me thinking about how many hidden gems are probably out there that just never got the attention they deserved. Sometimes the best coop experiences come from games that flew under the radar at launch or never had a big marketing push behind them.

So I wanted to ask this community specifically because you all seem to actually play and seek out coop games rather than just defaulting to whatever is trending. What is that one coop game you have pushed on multiple friend groups that somehow still surprises people when they hear about it? Could be anything: couch coop, online, survival, puzzle, brawler, whatever the genre. Bonus points if it works well with two players since that is usually our group size.

Drop your recommendations below and if you can, give a quick sentence or two on why it works so well as a coop experience. Would love to build a solid list from this thread.

That can be played in multi users like Crazy eight,but it should help play online

I've decided to try implementing online coop mod for the Chamber of Secrets and apparently not only is it possible, but after a few days I got to work to almost playable state! It's still very rough, but the plan is to make it possible to complete the whole game with 2 or more people :)

Hey guys im 28F looking to make a new farm with co op on pc. GBT Timezone, we have 3 people definitely joining up to now, message me if interested. i think it would be cool, and ideas are welcome too, it's just for fun. :)

I am currently searching for an online game that I can play with my friends for the purpose of having fun. My goal is to find a game that I can easily load up and ask my friends to get on and have a fun time with.

I would like to find a game that is an indie game, or at least something similar. My goal isn’t to find something like COD or Fortnite but rather something like Peak, lethal company, repo, etc. I haven’t tried peak or lethal company but they both look super fun and I would like to find a game like that.

My goal is finding something that isn’t a shooter and that isn’t a battle Royale or anything competitive for that matter. I’m trying to find a fun game that is kinda chaotic and action packed but still controlled enough that I can laugh and stop trying for a second. All I want is that it isn’t competitive and is fun. Funny characters or funny systems, just something to turn my brain off and play. Price isn’t a limiting factor here but I would love if it wasn’t much above $30

EDIT: PC player and all friends are PC too so don’t worry about needing to support multiple consoles. Preferably steam or epic launcher but really anything works.

TLDR: Looking for fun multiplayer game that isn’t competitive to play with friends. Price isn’t an issue. PC games.

Thanks!!! All help is appreciated.

Hi my family has Divinity 2 on Xbox x and Xbox One and both consoles. We wanted to set up online multiplayer with the two consoles but the Xbox X says it needs Xbox One version of game to connect.

If I buy a second Xbox One version of the game to put in the X, will it be compatible to play with the other Xbox One or are we wasting our money?

Please help!

Hey all,

My friend group is 5 people and we're wanting to find something similar to PEAK. We've got some weird constraints so hoping you guys can help.

The deal:

• We need 5 players, either native support or a mod that actually works. We tried the L4D2 local server mod and it was unstable so we gave up on that.
• No horror. So stuff like R.E.P.O or Lethal Company is out.
• Can run on integrated graphics. A couple of us are on ThinkPads with i7-10th gen. For reference, "Peak" runs fine on low settings (laptop gets hot but it works), so that's about our limit.

What we've tried and didn't click with:

• L4D2 - mod was too janky
• Human Fall Flat - too wobbly, got annoying fast
• RVThereYet - fun for a bit but got boring quick

What we've played:

• Don't Starve Together
• It Takes Two / Split Fiction
• PICO PARK 1 & 2, hella fun

Games on our radar but not sure about:

• Super Battle Golf
• Pratfall
• Mecha Chameleon (worried 5 are not enough for it to be fun)

Anyone got some hidden gems we're missing?

Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’m completely new to Valheim and looking for a friendly group to join for my first run.

I’m playing on PC via Steam.

I’m really interested in the building and system-design aspects of the game, so I’d love to team up with people who enjoy exploring, building a base together, and figuring things out at a steady pace. My goal is to learn the game mechanics while making some new friends.

Important note: I'm still learning English, so please bear with me! I'll do my best to communicate, but I might be a bit slow sometimes.

If you have a dedicated server or are planning to start a fresh co-op run for beginners, please let me know! I’m based in Brazil (playing in the evening), but I’m happy to join anyone who values a collaborative and non-toxic environment. Let's build something cool!

Kinda getting a rougelike itch again (been playing Slay the Spire, Binding of Isaac both solo) and looking for something to play with a friend (PC/Steam) to break up the usual CS2/Rocket League game sessions we've fallen into.

Looking for something that can be played in short bursts, maybe some loot/progression/something to chase, and if someone decides to play solo, the other person isn't behind in either story, or now at a detriment because the other player is overpowered/overgeared.

Games we've already played:

• Nightreign
• Nioh 2
• Arc Radiers
• Monster Hunter World

Some games I've thought of trying with them:

• Risk of Rain 2

I have already played a few hours and dig it, it seems like a great option.

• Gunfire Reborn

Similar idea to RoR2.

• Ravenswatch

Seen some recommendations for this, know the least about it, but it seems cool.

We also have Helldivers and Deep Rock Galactic, but just haven't put much time into either. Other games had their hooks in us at the time.

Thanks!

Im at the moment considering It Takes Two or Stardew Valley or maybe both. If you guys have any recommendations let me know. As well as any dating advice lol. Maybe a game that can bring us closer together. Thank you!
