Hello all! My buddy and I finally finished up Baldur’s Gate 3 this week and we are not left with a giant co-op game shaped whole in our hearts. It was such an incredible experience and it was truly even more fun running through it together. We are excited to hop into another game, but we have no idea what to play. We’ve played a lot, and some games we’ve finished or tried recently included:
- Borderlands 1, 2, and 3
- Minecraft, Terraria, Vintage Story
- Raft, 7 Days to Die
- A Way Out, It Takes Two
I’m posting here today to ask if any of you have some suggestions for co-op games we could check out! I’ve Googled for suggestions to no end and 90% of what’s there is games we’ve already played. If anyone has any recommendations for us they would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!! I’m going to compile a list and check them all out one by one!

You should try a wholesome cute game called Bread and Fred!!! It’s got penguins!
Wildermyth is an awesome indie RPG that I’ve had a lot of fun with as a two-player coop game. It’s a turn-based dungeon crawler with a strong focus on role play and party dynamics.
I hear great praise for Across the Obelisk as a coop game from my friends, although I personally bounced off of it. It’s a roguelite deck builder like Slay the Spire, but with multi-player, lots of meta progression, and a heftier time commitment for each run.
Gunfire Reborn is a roguelite looter shooter that’s a blast in coop. I think it’s still in Early Access, but what’s already there is enough for me to be happy with it as a full game. To me it’s a spiritual successor to Borderlands in combat and gamefeel, but without the grinding.
I enjoyed playing Toodee and Topdee with my roommate. Fun puzzle game. Can be played singleplayer or multiplayer. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1303950/Toodee_and_Topdee/
Minecraft Dungeons is also quite fun for co-op. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1672970/Minecraft_Dungeons/
I’m currently playing V Rising right now with my wife after Divinity 2. We are LOVING it. Definitely give it a try!
Divinity original sin 1 and 2.
The first one is harder. 2nd one if better to start with. Good fun if you like strategy and storytelling.
Games I enjoyed playing with my then-gilfriend:
- Castle Crashers. 2.5D side scrolling action
- Skyrim Together, although this requires at least one of you to have a decent level of understanding to get things to work smoothly
- ibb & obb, puzzle
- Portal 2, puzzle
- Shadow Puppeteer, puzzle
Chiming in to confirm: ibb & obb was a whole lot of fun
Satisfactory
BattleZone (the one from like 2016) is surprisingly fun and has optional VR support
Diablo 4
Path of exile is superior.
Might as well add Grim Dawn too. Though I’ve heard multiplayer can be a little janky.
I haven’t played it, but I have heard good words for having a few playthroughs. But I believe it does not have the staying power of POE.
Depends on the player, I think. It’s a rather unique kind of game in the ARPG genre since you combine two masteries to make up your class. I prefer Grim Dawn over most other games in the genre, including PoE.
Again, this is very much YMMV. Depends heavily on what you prefer as the player.
Cult of the Lamb’s latest content release is bringing 2-player local coop
Try out the Divinity Original Sin series, also produced by Larian. Different system and setting but it’s wonderful.
Seconded, Divinity is great!
Abiotic Factor. It’s basically a co-op Half-life.
Outward is made to be played by two players. It’s a really beautiful survival rpg with difficult combat.
Unraveled 2 is a beautiful and fun game for 2 people.
I’m playing through BG3 with a good friend too, we’re actually planning on doing another, wildly different, playthrough when we’re done with this one. We’re playing sorta chaotic/neutral good right now and intend to do an evil campaign next with different characters and classes and possibly even modded.
Now I obviously haven’t tried it yet but the game has so much hidden stuff, branching paths and different-to-play classes I’m fairly confident you can play it at least twice and have an almost entirely new experience!
