(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.

    Anyway, Stardew valley on PC (it has minimal system requirements and can basically run on any laptop) is the most coop fun I’ve had. As a bonus, it does support mods. A mod we liked was this one that pauses time when both players have a menu or dialogue up (which pauses time in single player). It let us coordinate our min maxing that we were both a smidge obsessed with.
