Wherever you're playing, you would be hard-pressed to find a gaming experience more enjoyable than with a friend by your side in cooperative play. Nothing beats the thrill of collaborative discovery, as you defeat enemies and solve puzzles together in unison.

15 Balan Wonderland 𒊎
A throwback to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the golden era of Nintendo 64 collectathon platformers, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Balan Wonderland attempts to appeal to the wide-eyed early-morning-cartoon-loving '90s gamer in all of us. Despite the negative reviews and disappointing reception from players, there is still a lot of fun to be had for a pair of old-school platforming fans - if you take it for what it is.
The main draw for this colourfully magical adventure is the huge number of powers you can unlock through the game’s magical attire. There are over 80 costumes to try out, with each bringing its o♒wn set of abilities to play with. This makes its two-player local co-op the best way to play, as you can mix and match your abilities to navigate through the game and explore together. Go in expecting a bad game and come out with a laugh.
14 Rayman Legendsꦺ
Now over a decade old, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Rayman Legends builds upon the ultra-slick platforming perfection of Rayman Origins. As with Origins, Legends sees yo🉐u take control of Rayman and his lovable band of heroes as they utilise speed and moment to navigate the game’s intricately designed levels.
Co-op is a blast, with local support of up to four playable characters from the Rayman universe. It’s a good thing too, as the game can be deceptively difficult, making its revive fea෴ture all the more welcome. This way, you can get right back into the action without having to sacrifice all of that delicious momentum. The brilliant music levels are also an absolute delight to experience.
13 The Division 2 🃏 ♚
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Division 2 moves away from the wintry downtrodden New York of the first game and sees you exploring an impressively detailed Washington D.C. If you misse💎d the boat the first time around, its release on Extra makes it a great time to jump in with up to three buddies as you navigate its eerily desolate and overgrown dystopian streets.
There’s a compelling loot game in the middle of it all, which contributes to the large variety of builds to try out as you mow down the countless thugs and gangs roaming the streets. All in all, it’s a great co-op experience, especially when working together and coordinating to take on the game’s tough raids, or testing your collective𒀰 mettle out in t🎶he PvP Dark Zone areas.
12 ꦯ Bac🌳k 4 Blood
A spiritual successor to the iconic 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Left 4 Dead, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Back 4 Blood is a squad-based zombie survival shooter where you and three other players 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:must pick a character and work together to keep back෴ a ravenous zomܫbie horde.
Built with co-op in mind, Back 4 Blood is meant to be experienced with others as you coordinate through the impressively varied levels and assign your upgrades to the greater needs of the team. In a world full of Destiny-like live service shooters, Back 4 Blood takes things back to basics, with solid shooting🃏 and all-out bloodthirsty action. You’ll want to stick arouღnd, not for the promise of better loot, but for the action-packed moment-to-moment gameplay.
11 💧 💛 Borderlands 3
Though a little tone-deaf when it comes to its humour, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Borderlands 3 absolutely nails the loot-based first-person shooting mayhem the series has been gunningཧ for over the years. As with every entry in the series so far, Borderlands 3 is best played in co-op and gives series veterans the same satisfying shooting gameplay and a ridiculous amount of guns to play around with.
The game has the most interesting and varied locations in the series to date, with a wider variety of planets to explore and new vehicles to test drive. Customisation and movement have also been improved, allowing for a more streamlined 🌠experience as you experiment with a seemingly endless sea of gear and weapons. With its availability on Extra’s Game Catalogue, it’s the perfect🐈 time to dip in and wreak havoc across Pandora and beyond.
10 Children Of Morta 🍷
The stories in most indie 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:roguelike games generally take a backseat to the fast-paced combat and die-and-repeat gameplay loop the genre is known for. That is certainly not the case for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Children of Morta, a deeply story-driven action RPG dungeon crawler with an engaging plot and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a wonderful cast of characters, that will have you hooked frไom beginning to end.
You and a friend can choose to play as two members of the Bergson family, as you utilise each of their unique abilities to drive back the ever-growing corruption. As a roguelike, the dungeons are randomly generated, and each run feels unique in terms of the class-sp🅷ecific builds and unique items you can pick up along the way. It feels really great to head in with a friend and pick two characters that synergise well together. It’s the best way to make the most of this fant🦹astic narrative experience.
9 Overcooked! 2 ꦛ
The goal of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overcooked! 2 is to work as a team and cook increasingly compl𝓡icated and demanding dishes as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Great as a party game with friends, the gameplay is chaotic as you try your darnedest to work as a t🤪eam to make sure all orders are fulfilled faithfully and on time. The sequel adds a lot more wackiness into the mix, with imaginative recipes and off-kilter kitchen designs to ensure all budding chefs can stir, mix, fry and bake their 🦹way into cooking perfection. Just don’t expect any Michelin stars.
8 Darksiders Genesiܫs 🧜
As a spin-off of the popular mainline 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Darksiders games, Darksiders Genesis takes the series in an𒈔 interesting new direction. Moving away from the series’ more traditional third-person viewpoint, Genesis sees you controlling either War or Strife in a top-down isometric view in some reassuringly famili♛ar and satisfying hack-and-slashing action.
This is a great experience to play in two-player co-op, as you take on each character’s unique abilities and move sets while fighting gruesome enemies and solving interesting puzzles, centuries before the events of the ꧑first Darksiders outing.
7 𝐆 Alienation
Before Housemarque entered the AAA space with Returnal, they were known for producing some of the most chaotic 🦄and tightly controlled indie shoot-em-ups in video games. Alienation is no different, and is a tense, action-heavy isometric twin-stick shooter that is a fantastic co-op experience.
The entire game is centred around cooperative play, as you work together to mow dow༺n the plentiful hordes of varied monsters as they surround your squad in waves of increasing difficulty. The visuals are stunning, though you may not notice them much in the anxiety-inducing later levels when the challenge really ramps up. Make sure to bring a trigger-happy friend along for the ride.
6 The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan & Little Hope ♌
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Dark Pictures Anthology games are interactive dramas that offer a refreshingly unique cooperative experience. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Man of Medan has you take control of a group of misfits on a boat trip gone bad while 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Little Hope, the second ga🌟me in the series, sees a bunch of students and their professor stranded in an abandoned town which has been haunted since the 17th Century Witch Trials.
The co-op mode in both games has the neat feature of allowing you and up to five players (by passing around a controller) to take control of each character and the decisions they make throughout the game. The choices you each make will significantly impact the course of the narrative, sometimes leading to irreversib𓆏le events and dire consequences. It’s a nice idea as it allows for more of an interactive survival-horror experience than most games out there.
