Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? - eviltoast

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!

    Since you enjoyed BG3, I’d strongly recommend Divinity: Original Sin 1&2 if you have not played them already.

    Other than that, a few random suggestions with sizeable coop campaigns:

    • Outriders
    • The Ascent
    • Remnant 1&2
    • Resident Evil 5&6
    • Saints Row 3&4
    • Trine 1-5
    • Valheim

      I own DOS 2 from back when it came out, does DOS 1 still hold up? Would it be better if we just played 2 either way?

        Both are great games, with 1 being a little rough around the edges but still very playable. The gameplay is different enough that it’s worth playing them both imo. Story might be better if you play 1 first, but I played through 2 first, then went back later to play 1 and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

        I probably vehemently disagree with some recommendations to play BG 1 and 2 btw, your mileage may vary. It requires very specific builds and knowledge of DnD, or lots of trial and error. You can easily build a well rounded group and find yourself unable to progress because of lacking one very specific thing. If that doesn’t sound to annoying, it might be worth a shot. If nothing else, rolling characters is fun.

      Well, OP could always play BG1 and BG2 which are still two of the greatest games ever.
