Top Co-op games that you can enjoy with friends

Teamwork is what it's all about. Co-op games give you the advantage of working with others to conquer a game that could be very difficult to take on alone, or it just makes the experience a whole lot better, playing with your friends in a fun environment.

Here is a list of the top ten:

 

10. Dead Island

Dead Island, the open-world survival horror game, is perfect for the team who wants to play an entire campaign dedicated to killing off the zombies on the island of Banoi.

Several species of the undead, all with varying difficulty, roam the area ready to attack any stray islander that ends up nearby. Fortunately, the game allows a four-player online co-op. Upon its release, it obtained primarily positive reviews, with some criticism on in-game glitches.

 

9. Gears of War 3

 

An Xbox exclusive and a popular game for just about every Xbox user's collection. After the announcement of its release, Gears of War 3 received more than a million pre-orders. Karen Traviss, a sci-fi author popular for writing several books in the Star Wars franchise, wrote the story behind this video game.

Its campaign allows for two people to play locally and four to play co-op online.

 

8. Diablo III

Blizzard's Diablo is well-known throughout the video gaming community, even for those who don't personally partake in the battle through the Burning Hells. In fact, Diablo III set a new record for being the fastest-selling PC game within the first twenty-four hours of its release with 3.5 million copies sold.

To help you defeat Diablo, you're able to team up with three other players in a public game.

 

7. Minecraft

The sandbox game that took the world by storm - Minecraft quickly became popular with players of all ages, and even inspired merchandise, and its very own convention called MineCon.

With the ability to do just about anything, from chicken-hunting to mining for diamonds, Minecraft is a perfect game to play with another!

On console, co-op allows for four people split-screen, along with four more people online.

 

6. Rayman Legends

Ubisoft's platformer, Rayman Legends, is an overall beautiful game - from its gorgeous visuals to its amazing gameplay, it's definitely worth the time. It includes over 120 different levels and a local multiplayer football game called Kung Foot.

The game lets four players join in on local co-op as they control their own unique characters through the Rayman universe.

 

5. LittleBigPlanet 2

LittleBigPlanet 2 is a puzzle-platformer video game that has a heavy focus on player creativity. Each level varies, with some playing like an 8-bit game while others play like a racing game.

The entire story mode can be played with others, in a co-op that allows for up to four people either local or online.

 

4. Resident Evil 5

Capcom's franchise is another popular series for fans and non-fans alike. This survival horror third-person shooter became the franchise's best-selling individual game.

Resident Evil 5 has a co-op campaign, that supports either two people locally or two people online. Player 1 takes controls of the main character and player 2 holds the reigns for the support character.

 

3. Portal 2

Valve's Portal 2, a first-person puzzle-platform video game, has been considered numerous times as one of the greatest video games of all times.

Highly-regarded due to its extraordinary writing and dark humor, Portal 2 is a game that everyone should give a try.

Its co-op story actually takes place after the single-player campaign, but does not need to be played in order. You can play with another person either locally or online.

 

2. Borderlands 2

Borderlands is a game that traps you in for hours and hours; from exploring the land of Pandora to interacting with the colorful and rather humorous non-playable characters, there's always something to do.

And, what makes it even better? The fact that you can share the adventure of looting and completing quests with a partner. Co-op can consist of two people locally or four online.

 

1. Left 4 Dead 2

Left 4 Dead 2 is a cooperative FPS that follows four entirely different survivors than its predecessor. Players use a range of melee weapons and guns, as they fight their way through zombie hordes in five different campaigns.

Each game play is altered to the player's skill in order to create a challenge in each play through. Teamwork is allowed with either local co-op that holds two players or online co-op that allows four survivors to play together.
