    Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a Borderlands spinoff shooter/RPG that’s co-op and happens to be free to claim on Epic games store this week. I haven’t played it yet but really enjoyed the Tiny Tina DLC for Borderlands 2.

        In-game everyone is usually wonderful.

        The official discord server, on the other hand… no. Just no.

            I swear, the best way to experience Helldivers 2’s community is to just be decent in games with randoms, maybe watch CommissarKai’s videos (do not go into the comments section) for tips on teamplay, and absolutely positively do not venture into the steam forums, the discord, or any other big discussion forum centered around the game because it w i l l be a cesspit, unfortunately. The Steam forums have the usual toxic trolls, but the Discord (and other hubs) is usually having furious arguments over buffs, nerfs, what is meta, what isn’t, what should be done what shouldn’t be and so on. For a silly little PvE co-op power fantasy game.

            I’m not sure if Deep Rock Galactic has this problem, I’ve played it and it all seemed pretty positive but I never got into the game as much as I did HD2.

        I take it you’ve never had the displeasure of being dropped into a PlayStation lobby? Lots of TKers and Kickers on PS. I don’t get the same from Steam players.

    So, you’re essentially looking for games like Borderlands, do you want more RPG in it or less?

    Remnant: From the Ashes gets my vote. It’s a superb co-op shooter despite getting somewhat repetitive near the end. There’s also a sequel that seems to be well liked but I never got around to playing it.

      I found the solo play of both Remnant games really unsatisfying. Slow pacing, uninteresting enemies. Is it much better with friends?

        I haven’t played much of singleplayer but I did find it engaging with friends, especially the bosses.

      If you enjoyed Remnant then it’s definitely worth picking up Remnant 2. Remnant 2 improves on everything that was great about Remnant.

    Synthetik. Insane coop shooter that has the most dopamine inducing gameplay I’ve ever experienced.

    Out of all the games here, this one is the absolute hidden gem. Because nobody has heard about it. But they absolutely should.

      Plus all the Halos before, yeah. Unfortunately online co-op on the master chief collection just would not function properly for me and a friend which was devastating

        I’ve heard that was an issue years ago, and fixed. We were able to play thru every game fine.

          This was less than a year ago, constant disconnects. We soldiered through but the second mission in Halo 2 would consistently DC when starting the warthog phase

    I’m not into these, even though I try them from time to time. But one was actually a looooot of fun - Shadow Warrior 2. The gunplay, the chaos, it was extremely entertaining!

    And it only costs a few bucks.

      Shadow Warrior 2 is so fun, I was and still am so disappointed they scrapped co-op for the third one.

    check out:

    Ink Inside On steam.

    It’s a couch co-op action RPG with ranged combat meets beat em up fights. Aesthetic is 2014 cartoon network, with a story based on a lost Nickelodeon pilot. Voice cast is solid with Brian David Gilbert too.

    If it sounds interesting, could definitley be up your alley!

      And it’s on sale for 10$ on steam rn, damn. It’s missing the multi-player tag, otherwise I would have had it on my wishlist for co-op 3rd person shooters sooner :<

    Halo is an all time great and especially for co-op.

    Timesplitters 2 and 3 for some older stuff. They’re spiritual successors to Goldeneye (made by mostly the same people) and they both feature fun coop campaigns. Shouldn’t be too difficult to emulate.

    Earth Defence Force. Basically, you are participating in a B-movie scenario, with UFOs, kaiju, giant ants, flamethrower clams, and winged frogs. It is quite a good time, and the higher difficulties require genuine skill and cooperation.

    EDF 6 is the best in the series from a gameplay standpoint, but is far weaker than 4 or 5 when it comes to the level design + narrative. Still, the QOL pushes the game to the next level, especially if you got pals to tackle the missions. There many different weapons, not just in power, but also shot pattern, reload style, knockback, and so forth. Also, there WILL be hundreds of enemies on onscreen at any given moment. Each of the four classes have very distinct characteristics when it comes to loadout, mobility, and purpose, so you should be able to find a good match for yourself.

      I’m not really sure EDF 6 is the best entry point to the series, as it’s a direct sequel to EDF 5. I think it will get really confusing story- and missionwise, more so than it already is. EDF 5 was a soft reboot and is also a bit cheaper.

      My friends and I really liked the WORLD BROTHERS 2 spinoff too, if someone is looking to play with a young player that might be a better starting point than the mainline games. The rest of the series spinoffs have not really done it for us.
