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!

There's just not many story mode games that compare to Larians for co-op. Besides take two/a way out, I haven't found any RPGs that are worthwhile (borderlands was the closest I guess but the gameplay is boring)

There is the Baldur Gate 1 and 2 Enhanced Edition that has multiplayer. I never really tried it, so I can't say how good it is.

Another one is Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. The multiplayer has standalone campaigns. Definitely need to get the fan patches for this game.

I appreciate the response. Unfortunately my partner wouldn't want to play such dated games. I on the other hand don't mind them.

Best out of these for couples? She doesn't play shooters nor most first-person titles. I don't like turn-based games.

I'd recommend the we were here series. They're two people puzzle games.

Second this. It's a puzzle game that is all about communication. One player is in the room that has to solve the puzzle, the other player is in a different room that has the solution to the puzzle.

This is a game that you don't play being able to look at each other screens.

Just a warning, I’m a wimp and got scared in one specific scene/puzzle. It’s a very minor horror theme, ended up having to have my husband sitting on the floor next to me facing the other way to complete it cos I got too scared. Loved the series though, amazing games.

I wouldn't say horror, but it does have a sinister motif.
