List of cooperative games for weak PCs. RPG - for two
17. Strange Brigade
A dynamic shooter, the plot of which tells about the awakening of the ancient Egyptian witch-queen Seteki. Only the “Strange Brigade” - four brave adventurers who are ready to fight any danger for the sake of hard cash - can stop the ominous ruler and her minions.
Playing Strange Brigade alone is too boring, but in co-op the project reveals itself to its full potential. At various levels, bloodthirsty monsters, deadly traps and, of course, cunningly hidden treasures will await you, and an extensive arsenal of weapons and devastating spells, unique to each character, will help you deal with the creatures of evil.
16. A Way Out
A game completely aimed at playing cooperatively with a friend: you can’t go through it alone, you can’t go through it with a random player (not from the friends list in Origin), and there’s no need to - this project gives the most vivid emotions only when you play with someone you know well person, and preferably at one computer, in splitscreen. We won’t go into detail about the merits of A Way Out - we’ve already said everything in our review. If you have someone to play with, be sure to pay attention to this wonderful game.
15. Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide
The game in the Warhammer fantasy universe (which is not 40,000) invites players to team up and recapture the city of Ubersreik from the ratmen - mainly in close combat. Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide captivates with its dynamic and intense gameplay, impresses with the beauty of its locations and delights with its high complexity. In general, an excellent option for evening team fights.
14. Portal 2
Without exaggeration, the ingenious puzzle game from Valve could have been placed higher on our list, but due to its age it has given way to newcomers. The main feature of the Portal 2 cooperative is a very convenient, intuitive gesture system, thanks to which communication in the game does not require voice communication, and even residents of different countries can find a common language with each other. Interesting puzzles and signature humor remain in place, so the project will help you relieve boredom and have fun.
13. Gears of War
Only two games from the Gears of War series are presented on the PC - the first and fourth parts (the rest were released on consoles of the Xbox family), but they are enough for vivid emotions. Gears of War has a gloomy atmosphere, charisma of the main characters and fierce battles with undisguised, even ostentatious, cruelty.
12. Broforce
11. Killing Floor
10. Ghost Recon Wildlands
A shooter from Ubisoft, specially designed for cooperative play. Of course, you can play Ghost Recon Wildlands alone, but then you won't get even a fraction of the experience that this project provides when completing tasks together. It's all about the gameplay: the game belongs to the genre of tactical shooters and, obviously, AI-controlled characters cannot compare with real people who, with proper coordination of actions, will turn the passage of missions into a beautifully choreographed Hollywood action movie.
9. Dying Light
8. HELLDIVERS
7. Civilization
The sixth part of the strategic Civilization series is the newest at the moment, but co-op is also present in previous editions. Here, co-play is implemented within the framework of diplomacy: players can declare friendship, form an alliance and develop their civilizations together. Civilization VI is perfect for playing both over the Internet and on one computer - for the second case, there is a hot-sit mode in which participants take turns making their moves.
6.Cuphead
A long-term platformer released in 2017, with a stunningly beautiful visual style that references the cartoons of the 30s and 40s. Players will take control of funny characters and fight two dozen bosses. Cuphead has incredibly complex gameplay, so some friendly support comes in handy.
5. Path of Exile
4. Call of Duty
Starting with World at War, each part of the Call of Duty series contains, in addition to a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer, a co-op mode. In some installments of the franchise, players will have to fight zombies, in others - with aliens, but each time these missions delight with excellent presentation and exciting gameplay.
3. Destiny 2
Both parts of Destiny are designed for cooperative play, but only the second part is available on PC. Destiny 2 is about cooperative battles against alien invaders, accompanied by a mystery-filled plot and a carefully crafted futuristic setting. The game boasts not only exciting gameplay, but also beautiful graphics that demonstrate stunning landscapes.
2.Diablo
Diablo 2 turned 17 this year, Diablo 3 is 5 years old, but both projects still occupy places in all the tops cooperative games. The reasons for its success are high replayability, well-balanced gameplay, and exciting gameplay. Any fan of good action-RPGs periodically feels the urge to download one of the games in the Diablo series, call your friends and go to Sanctuary to deal with the presumptuous demons.
1. Divinity: Original Sin
Both parts of the Divinity: Original Sin series share honorable first place in our ranking of the best cooperative games on PC. And completely deservedly so, because every joint passage here turns into an exciting adventure, where players can argue with each other, intrigue each other, explore the world together or separately and, of course, fight numerous enemies. Best project You simply won't find it for a fun time with friends.
Co-op games for weak PCs
Almost all of the above games require fairly powerful video cards and processors. But what to do if your computer’s configuration can’t handle modern projects, but you still want to play co-op? Don't rush to break your piggy bank for an upgrade - we have a selection of co-op games for weaker PCs.
Dead Island is a series of zombie action games with parkour, close combat and a system of zonal dismemberment of the living dead.

Sacred 2– large-scale RPG with interesting classes, interesting plot and funny humor.

Invite your friends and enjoy the best co-op games on PC.
Nobody and nothing - except a friend - can compare with a good blaster, who also has a good blaster, then you have a total of two blasters and you can blast twice as much. This is the beauty of our favorite co-op games, be it online multiplayer. In recent years, the ranks of the best co-op games, such as the time-tested Left 4 Dead and Arma 3, have been supplemented by new RPGs, shooters and crazy cooking simulators.
This is our latest collection of the best co-op games to play together. Some can brighten up your day, while others can brighten up entire months.
Retired from the main list
Vermintide borrows heavily from another game also featured on this list, or to be more precise, it's Left 4 Dead in Warhammer guise. But it still focuses on smoother, more original melee combat, and amazing special effects that make the game a worthy choice for friends when they want to squash a few Ratlings.
This game is especially attractive to fans of the Warhammer Fantasy universe, which is very familiar in the gaming world. The main actions in the game will be: picking up dropped items and equipment that can be upgraded. So, playing missions over and over again with friends will guarantee you a good time.
Warning - don't play KALIMBA with a new friend. Although the game looks like a light-hearted puzzle game, it is actually a powerful tool for pushing the limits of human tolerance. Each player has two colored totems. Solving the color puzzles isn't particularly difficult, but coordinating your moves to jump will be much more difficult, especially if you're relying on your partner.
Despite its complexity, it's surprising how intuitive Kalimba feels: watching someone else play turns out to be more exciting than picking up a controller yourself (for simplicity, it's better to use that one). It's hard, but no problem can be solved alone, and every victory is shared.
Magicka 2 is good in every way, just like the original. Magicka 2 fixed bugs, improved graphics, and added several modes to our favorite co-op. The only thing I didn't like was the casting system. Apparently due to the large number negative reviews The developers added new spell elements and casting mechanics to be more consistent with the original. In the sequel, even the most hardcore sorcerers will be able to enjoy brilliant magical battles with friends.
If Payday 2 is a mixture of good action films, then Monaco is one hundred percent, distilled Ocean's Eleven. In Monaco you need to pull off excellent heists, hence the excitement and tension that comes with its own perfect combination to spend a good time in the company of friends. This game is a lot of details, plans, and there is something so wonderful when you cut off the electricity while your partner distracts the guard.
An excellent RPG from Runic that managed to steer me away from Diablo III. It was more Diablo than Diablo itself, and that crazy dungeon crawl is even harder and more intense if you go there with someone. Diablo III has a maximum player count of four, but in Torchlight you can have up to six players. Too much? In a game where monsters explode and leave fountains of gold, "too much" is not the right word.
The three-character puzzle game Trine came out of nowhere, right around the time of the indie gaming boom in 2009. Trine's success spawned two more sequels. While Trine 3 was a bit of a disappointment this year, Trine 2 takes the best of the original, smoothes it out, improves it, and makes it all that much better. With the addition of online co-op, you can hand over control of two other characters to friends. As a gift, you are given a colorful picture and light, almost relaxing, puzzles.
is the first game in the series to deviate from the usual historical setting. Decades of creativity flows out of Warhammer's updated animation and wide range of classes, from dwarves who avenge wrongs by starting wars to vampire counts who fill their armies with the living dead. The story campaign also looks fresh, where the player will be pleased with the updated RPG mechanics with quests and selection of equipment for the heroes.
After Rome 2, Creative Assembly significantly improved the engine and the level of artificial intelligence of opponents, thanks to which Warhammer can be called one of the series. And, as before, the campaign mode can be played with a friend. Do you dare to unite the greenskins and the dwarves, two sworn enemies? You can also install the mod and play with a friend for the same faction. I couldn't think of a better cooperative strategy.

Overcooked is the natural embodiment of chaos. This is one of those cooperative games in which you need to join forces to win, even if after the end of the game you, not to mention, even want to see your partner anymore. But if you manage to catch the general rhythm and become part of a team coping with icy rivers, earthquakes in the kitchen, and even suddenly arriving pirate ships, then you will get indescribable pleasure.
Here everything is like in a real kitchen - one cuts onions, the second monitors the stove, and the third (the one who is best not allowed near the food) washes the dishes, running out of the kitchen from time to time. Overcooked was originally designed for multiplayer (playing it alone is not so fun), but, alas, the game only supports local network connections. But if you convince your friends to play the game, it will be one of the most unforgettable co-ops.

In the year since its release, The Division has evolved from an endless co-op cover shooter into a co-op shooter with a very clear end goal. Yes, long quests and chasing after upgraded equipment are not for everyone, but if you and your friends love shooters with character upgrades, then The Division is definitely worth paying attention to.
Walking through post-apocalyptic Manhattan, regular shootouts with bots and a set of non-standard missions will help each member of your team reveal their skills. The shootouts look very spectacular, and therefore a coordinated attack with grenade throws, deceptive maneuvers and covering fire, even for the hundredth time, will bring the same emotions as the first.
If your team wants to level up, then you can always find quests for any level in each of the five locations. In the Tier 2 location you will find raids and short missions where you need to show a well-coordinated team spirit. If you are interested not so much in shootouts as in quests with an emphasis on psychology, then choose the Dark Zone location, which may not show your friends the best side. If everyone has the updates installed, we recommend testing your strength in the Underground, Survival and upcoming Last Stand modes, where you can play both together and against each other, collecting weapons and equipment along the way.

Trying to pull off a complex heist in several stages in a team with not the most efficient bots in Payday 2 single player is not always fun, and sometimes even boring. But here the co-op mode comes to the rescue. With a friend, any heist turns into a mixture of "Ocean's 11" and "The Expendables."
And the only thing better than a stealthy robbery is a sudden change of plans, as a result of which an alarm sounds and you have to fight your way to the exit. And if the mistakes of bots are sometimes downright infuriating, then the mistakes of friends make the game much more interesting.

With its endless fun and weapon-heavy extravaganza, Borderlands 2 is one of the few games on this list that boasts a great single-player experience. You'll have a lot of fun exploring the planet Pandora, shooting goons from your car, endlessly replenishing your ammo as if you were trying to stock up for a gun party.
All this will be much more fun if you have a bunch of friends with you. Each character takes its place in the team, for example, on more difficult levels you will simply need to have a tank, a silent assassin and a medic in your team.
It's also worth noting that the durability of the creature and the value of the reward for killing them directly depend on the number of players in your team, so if you really want tough, bone-crushing action, you just need to find more friends.

Guacamelee is a vibrant mix of Metroids and Castlevanias styles, sprinkled with plenty of witty references and memorable carnival masks. The 2D art is simply stunning, as is the world exploration and combat system. What sets it apart from classic games from the Metroid and Castlevania series is its support for up to four players.
You can only play over a local network, so if you manage to lure your friends, they are unlikely to leave the screen until they explore every corner of Guacamelee.

All Monster Hunter games can be played solo or with strangers online, but in co-op (with a friend) the game really unlocks its potential. There are combos here, like in all Capcom action games, almost like in Devil May Cry, but more risky and conscious, forcing you to study the attacks of these huge creatures.
More difficult monsters force you to cooperate and be constantly on guard, and fights go much better when you and your partner specialize in in various forms weapons. And grinding rare drops and monster parts will be much more fun with a couple of friends on discord.

This sequel to Vermintide definitely expands on the Left 4 Dead formula, adding an entirely new group of enemies in addition to the Skaven and a clearer leveling and loot system. The game feels good and moderately tough when you slam a huge club into the ratman's face. The build system is simple and is divided into five character types. If you like Left 4 Dead, but have already played it too much, Vermintide 2 will grab your attention and is perfect for a couple of dozen hours of bloody carnage.

Project Rare is a fun co-op sandbox, but it's really fun when played with friends. Sea of Thieves is a wonderful open world game and is completely undemanding - jump on board with your friends, choose a direction and just enjoy the boat ride, drinking grog, playing musical instruments and shooting each other with cannons. Or just chat with each other for an hour against the backdrop of a beautiful sunset.
For fun and profit, you can chase other teams and engage in ship-to-ship combat, look for lost treasures, or capture a skeleton fort, but it's just great to chat with friends like in a chat room with beautiful waves and a sudden Kraken.

Besides the loot boxes, Destiny 2 has a good Halo-style campaign, a ton of fun side quests, everything more strikes and two raids for six people.
Destiny 2 features dozens of hours of co-op play, from silly fun to serious final battles. There's enough fun to be had out of all this before the Eververse starts bothering you.

Overcooked is the epitome of chaos. The type of co-op where you have to help each other to win, but chances are you won't even be talking at the end of the day. Overcooked 2 keeps the same idea of breaking relationships, but before you start hating each other, you'll really enjoy playing together. The sequel adds new maps and new difficulty. You can play online or locally. You can now make sushi and teleportation has been added. Just like in your regular kitchen, really.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a sprawling, inventive adventure and one of the best RPGs ever made. You can play one of the best RPGs with three friends in online co-op. Players rule the chaos of this world, and that means one friend can kill a guard or reveal his second identity as a living dead man at the worst possible time, but that's exactly what makes OS2 so great to play with friends.
You no longer have to deal with a dedicated group of characters that you form over time. You're dealing with three stubborn people trying to achieve different goals. It's a beautiful mess of one of the most lush, immersive RPG worlds. And once you're done, Game Master mode lets you create new campaigns from scratch using an extensive D&D-style toolkit.

Total War: Warhammer was the first project in which the company moved away from historical themes and it worked. 10 years of Warhammer creativity flows here, both in the animation and the diverse factions. In Warhammer 2, Creative Assembly tried to solve the problems of the series that have been present for many years: the gameplay ceases to hold up as the empire grows and dominates the world map.
What hasn't changed is launching a grand campaign with a friend, taking two friendly factions against the rest of the world. Sharing control over a huge army is truly a breakthrough: one of you can take care of local control and deployment of troops, while the second will carry out tactical cavalry raids. Or whatever it is in Warhammer, lizard-like people, huge bats and so on. If you have Warhammer 1, you can combine these games into a global campaign.

Warframe can get boring quickly, as the core gameplay involves completing randomly generated levels in an attempt to level up your character. And so time after time. Some missions are inconvenient to complete alone, and playing online with strangers is not suitable for everyone, especially beginners. But Warframe transforms if you invite your friend into it, turning into a fun virtual shooting gallery where you and a friend can shoot hordes of enemies.
And if the game hooks you, then you can spend more than one day understanding all the intricacies. You can sit until the morning, reading on forums strategies for upgrading things and crafting features. But you can also play it with friends who have just started it - you don’t have to go through it at the same time. You can go about your business and meet on the Grineer ship from time to time.

Cuphead doesn't get any easier just because a friend has your back in co-op. Adding a second player overloads the already overcrowded world with colorful animations and complicates the passage of this arcade side-scroller, so multiplayer is an option only for concrete best friends.
But in the same way that your brain and hands merge into perfect strength after many failures, and the gradual recognition of patterns takes root at the level of pure instinct, the interaction between two people turns into telepathy. Friendly telepathy with the goal of completing a cartoon game.

For a couple of years, Klei refused to include co-op in its gothic survival masterpiece, arguing that co-op mode would ruin the unique atmosphere, which consists entirely of a feeling of loneliness and independent exploration of the world. As it turned out, the developers worried in vain, because the notorious atmosphere in the company of friends is felt even brighter. At the moments when cyclops deer burst into your camp, destroying half of your winter supplies, you understand that it’s better to deal with this kind of thing in a cooperative.
Klei is renowned for its attention to detail and balance in its games, and Together's three main modes (Survival, Wilderness and Endless) have the perfect balance of item drops and character skills. The most interesting is the Endless mode. Chatting with a friend on Discord or Skype while trying to pool resources to survive the coming harsh winter - isn't that great? And remember: Happiness is a refrigerator full of frog legs.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (or LIADS) is truly an achievement in local multiplayer design. We've seen a resurgence of local multiplayer in PC games lately, but only a few have it. unique style, color and originality like LIADS.
LIADS also promotes intra-team conflict in places where other co-op games do not. With so many stations and only two crew members, failure comes from poor communication rather than lack of skill. The game is, of course, good, but it’s still annoying that there is no online co-op option. Despite this, it feels like the game is designed for co-op play while sitting on the same couch, plus there are a bunch of settings for the co-op mode.

A strange and grotesque co-op game with a brilliant idea: you and your friends will play as space cleaners, forced to clean up all the chaos that the brave space marines from other games leave behind. Grab a bucket with a rag and get ready to wash blood off walls, burn limbs, collect shell casings and repair pipes using welding. Yes, it's dirty work, but it's dirty work in space and with friends, and, oddly enough, it's enough to have a fun few evenings.
The highlight of Viscera Cleanup Detail is its physics, which sometimes throws up interesting surprises. For example, if you are carrying a bucket of bloody water and collide with another player, all the water will spill in the blink of an eye, creating even more work. Be prepared for unkind comments if you forget the dynamite in the stove; and, of course, nothing compares to the sight of your friend being crushed by a faulty elevator, even if it means another half hour of cleaning.
But the fun doesn't stop there: each corpse has name tags, and this is where most of the game's Easter eggs can be found. You can also find out what happens if you press all the buttons on a device that resembles dynamite (spoiler: it is dynamite) and ruin the final cleanliness rating for the level by trying to feed a chair to an alien octopus, which will lead to a large green burp on the ceiling, walls and your friends. This is a real gem of the gaming industry. And if you have a group of friends who are open to new ideas, then it's time to give the game a chance.

There are many good Lego games on the market that can be recommended to connoisseurs of this style: for example, Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Lego Batman 2 or Harry Potter, but Marvel games are superior to all others. They are not tied to specific film adaptations, and therefore you can see in them a team of Spider-Man, Captain America, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men (you don’t get this even in modern comics).
The levels here are interesting and inventive - you will visit Doctor Doom's castle, Stark Tower, Asgard and other locations. Essentially, this is a grand tour of the Marvel universe, created with great love for the characters, which is evident in their animation and voice acting. In addition, here you can explore Manhattan or jump from a S.H.I.E.L.D. carrier. This part is much more interesting than the sequel, which focuses on the adventures of the Avengers.

The main feature of Far Cry is waiting. Getting to the outpost undetected creates tension. Taking out a couple of guards creates even more tension. Eventually, someone notices you, raises the alarm, and all hell breaks loose.
In the company of a friend, all these outings will be much more interesting. You can always see by the outline what your partner is doing so risky. When it's time to go out into the open, the sheer variety of toys in Far Cry 4 creates chaos that you'll enjoy immersing yourself in. Why sneak around in the shadows when you can drop grenades from a helicopter while your friend demolishes the main gate on a war elephant?

It was intended to be a cooperative Half-Life, but the mood is very reminiscent of the episode “Interdimensional Cable” from the series “Rick and Morty.” We go to a random server and find ourselves in the colorful world of Teletubbies. We go to another - and here we are waiting for a parody of the Mega Man series, a secret military base, or Egyptian pyramids, where you will have to fight off Anubis himself with grenades.
Download a set of quirky maps, connect with your friends, and immerse yourself in a retro shooter full of funny and awkward moments. If you play with the right people, you'll have hours of fun in a hilarious romp with monsters, scientists, and soldiers from Half-Life.

Exploration, mining, crafting and adventure in Starbound's massive 2D galaxy can keep you busy for hours. Completing story quests, creating colonies on other planets, upgrading your arsenal, ship and your abilities are implemented here in a very interesting way. And all this is multiplied by two if your friends join the game.
In co-op mode, you can easily invite friends to work on joint projects: destroy a couple of monsters or just walk around the spaceship. You are allowed to complete story quests, as well as fight bosses who are extremely difficult to defeat alone. The game has a fun chat design - everything written is displayed in bubbles above the characters' heads. An excellent solution that only complements the wonderful atmosphere.

Amplitude Studios made a name for itself with Endless Space and Endless Legend, but the most creative and original project became their beautiful (albeit strange) game Dungeon of the Endless. A couple of fragile heroes and resources fall under your control; the main task is to save the crystal during periodic attacks from enemies. Everything here looks painfully familiar, but the small differences will still surprise you. Time moves only when the doors to the dungeon are opened. To complete the level, you need to find the crystal and make a mad dash to the exit, through the creatures swarming everywhere.
If you play alone, then it’s more of a tactical game, with the ability to press pause during the battle and think through your further strategy. Co-op removes this option and makes the game more intense. To survive at later difficult levels, you need to have a large supply of resources, a clear understanding of where who should be, and what towers to build. It’s so easy to get confused or run away, but that’s the whole point of the game.
The roguelike genre, plus tower defense, plus co-op and RPG, may seem like incompatible things, but they still go together.

The original Killing Floor deserves praise and, of course, it makes sense to recommend Killing Floor 2, since it is a serious step forward, here you will find more players and new levels, plus all sorts of bonuses are added to early access members. Killing Floor 2 is a big game, even in this unfinished state. It's an FPS where you and up to 5 other players must survive a series of attacks. During the defense you have to shoot and beat up some very restless test subjects.
Survival is sometimes very difficult (especially on difficult modes), and do not forget that teamwork is vital. It’s good that the Tripwire guns are made here at a high level: recoil and accuracy of fire.

What I like most about this game is the paperwork. Stop, stop! Come back! KTNB is a game based on the scene that every action movie has where the hero has to defuse a bomb and some nerd on the phone asks him “what do you see?”
KTNB is making waves with the Oculus Rift, but you don't need the experimental VR hardware to enjoy the game. The deminer can take the laptop from one side of the sofa, and the advisers open their demining instructions on the other side. Communication is the most important thing in this game, and any number of players can give advice, making KTNB a terrifyingly team-based game.

GTA has a lot going for it, but co-op heists are probably the best thing Rockstar has to offer in an open world game. Four players team up to overcome a series of story missions in which each character plays a different role as they take part in a grand heist. There will be everything from stealing vehicles as part of the preparation for a robbery, to murder and other interrelated tasks.
Missions cleverly make everyone feel like they are playing a key role in all these troubles on the path to fabulous wealth.
Having all four players come to the end of each heist while escaping the cops in dramatic fashion is far more satisfying than the game's main story. If only Rockstar would make more missions like this. They would have paid for themselves in full.

There's no doubt that Portal 2 has a very crude co-op experience. As two test robots, Atlas and P-Body, you and your friend must learn the darker, more dangerous side of the GLaDOS programs, as they are too dangerous for human test subjects. The 3D spatial thinking that makes the Portal series so addictive will work even better when you're not alone in solving problems.
Co-op in a game is great if neither of you knows the answer: if your partner has to wait patiently for you to solve a riddle every time, you feel like an idiot; if not, they will rush you, which is what makes the game really cool. It’s true that it’s very difficult, several years after the game’s release, to find newcomers. Luckily, Valve's team of map editors have created a full set of excellent new maps for dual play.

First off, Guacamelee 2 has had a place on this list for years, thanks to its Metroid-esque spirit and co-op support. The sequel supports up to four players, allowing you to travel together and have tons of fun, colorful combos in a classic beat-em-up. More fresh game, in contrast to the slow and atmospheric Hollow Knight, which is why co-op fits so well here. Stupid, exaggerated (in terms of characters) and with really fun fights. You can also now play as a chicken.

It may have been surpassed by Original Sin 2, but it's still one of the best: a deep, rewarding RPG that you can play with a friend.
Divinity: Original Sin stands out for several reasons. First, it's a return to classic RPG form. Secondly, explore this deep world and ridiculously funny texts, you can work with a friend, this opportunity appeared for the first time in the game, and is popular with gamers.
The Enhanced Edition has completely revised the voice acting, pictures and trophies. There are also new modes for fans of brutal combat, or those who want to explore the history of the world.
A massive, 100-hour RPG can be played with friends on a drop-in/drop-out basis, but the most dedicated of you should understand that you will have obligations to your playing partner. These are huge consequences, so it’s better to take your best friends as a partner so that you can experience a story with them that you won’t find anywhere else.

Let's get one thing straight: Artemis is not a Star Trek game. There are a number of legal reasons for this. Agreed? Agreed. Definitely not based on Star Trek.
So, Artemis is one of the best Star Trek games. It is presented as a “simulator of the captain's bridge on a spaceship,” and its highlight is that each player has his own control scheme with different data. Players (captain, gunners, helmsmen, engineers, operators and scientists) see only a screen in front of them, so, say, an engineer will not be able to help the gunners or take the helm. But he will be able to distribute energy among the engines.
At the center of everything is the captain, who, oddly enough, does not have any screens in front of his eyes: he simply yells at his subordinates to do what is required. In last year's version 2.0, we saw many innovations affecting control schemes and the general style of drawing. If you have only played the first version of Artemis, we recommend getting a group together and playing the new upgrade on a local network.
It's incredible how quickly you adapt to the military system of orders and responses (“Helmsman, set course for Deep Space 1, hold half impulse.” “Half impulse to DS1, that's right, Captain”). And this is not because you have gotten used to the role, but because here you need to formulate commands clearly and concisely, otherwise you will all die. Well, maybe a little because you got used to the role.

The ability to play with two or three will not surprise anyone, but the Arma engine supports dozens of players simultaneously. There's actually a lot to see here, one plays pilot, takes you and ten other people to a war zone, leaves you there to link up with twenty other people for an assault. Arma 3 isn't strictly a co-op game, but I'm including it on the list because it becomes truly memorable when everyone is on the same side against an overwhelming AI enemy.
As you dive into Arma 3, be sure to check out the Zeus multiplayer mode. One player, in the role of Zeus, leads the game as a D&D-style dungeon master, breeding equipment and enemies. As soon as you anger Zeus, he will immediately send lightning strikes at you. This is one of the fantastic co-op missions that you should never miss.

This is one of the best games for PC. Isn't there a reason to download it? No? Most people see Spelunky as a single-player game, but all the fun is in the multiplayer. There's so much that can go wrong here - a stray rock, bomb, vase (or any other object) can send your friend diving towards sharp spikes, but that's just a small part of the potential of co-op play. Remember: when you're playing through a game together, don't underestimate the power of magic.
It’s easier to carry important objects around the level with two pairs of hands. A dead player can be resurrected at the next level, which makes completing Spelunky much easier. You can even create cunning plans - one distracts the merchant, and the second drops bombs on him. In most cases, of course, everything goes down the drain, but isn’t that why we sit down to play Spelunky?

Fanatically balanced, well-written shooter Left 4 Dead 2 is built on the struggle of four surviving members of one team. As soon as an incredible number of zombie monsters are sent to the team, the team needs to clearly coordinate its actions, and be ready at any time to save a comrade at the last second, so that then such a story can be safely retold.
Valve also deserves credit for how long they have supported L4D2 by adding level editors, Steam Workshop support, porting of maps and characters from Left 4 Dead 1, and continuing to offer "mutations", frequently changing game modes that offer something new for the experienced players.
Left 4 Dead 2's active modding community is also a huge part of why the game is so highly regarded, having produced new campaigns such as . This allowed L4D2 to remain fun even after the base company became completely obsolete. Plus, you get to play as a Velociraptor, which certainly guarantees our highest rating.
