(the app is forcing me to put a link so I put Timesplitters 2 gameplay cuz this is mostly a text post)

Hi everyone! I've been feeling frustration about games lately, remembering experiences I had as a kid playing co-op story games with my friends, like Timesplitters and Destroy All Humans, etc.

Modern multiplayer games sometimes have some co-op elements, but many of them are party games like Human Fall Flat or Among Us, or big Battle Royales or Multiplayer shooters. The co-op ones seem to only be survival games like The Forest.

I'm always looking for good co-op experiences to play with my friends, but it's hard to find what I am looking for. I recently played It Takes Two with my partner and that was so wonderful.

Does anyone know any games like what I am looking for? It seems these kinds of games are so few and far between, sadly.

If you and your partner enjoy RPG's, I highly recommend Divinity: Original Sin (and Divinity: Original Sin 2, though we haven't finished that one yet). Very story-driven, the tactical combat is a blast when you get into strategizing and collaborating, and there are all sorts of non-combat shenanigans you can get up to as well (the second even more so than the first).

Divinity 2 is awesome!

Not sure about the first one but the second allows for literal split screen couch co-op or for online play. I will say that for me, I didn’t like it as much in split screen on a literal couch because there’s a lot of reading that you can do and my eyes are terrible. I definitely think it’s great to play though in multiplayer when everyone is on their own computer.
