Co-op game recommendations

[Ian]

I've posted on here a couple of times over the past 5 years about good co-op game recommendations, but I've played through the ones I've got now - so thought there may be some new ideas .

Rather than multiplayer (like Titanfall 2), I was looking for games with a specific co-op mission element to it - like Borderlands 2 or Orcs Must Die 2. Any suggestions for something released in the past year, or up and coming for early 2017?

I'm so out of the loop with games now!

Minecraft.

PC or PS4?

The ones that jump to mind off the top of my head are the likes of Left for Dead 2, Payday 2, Fifa (if you like that kind of thing). Is Portal Co Op? I think it might be.

EDIT: Today I learned Steam has a co-op section!

I didn't know this!

Done all of those ones already, unfortunately. Portal is co-op and good fun, but only 2 player and I'd ideally be after 4.

I spotted a couple of games on that Steam section - Helldivers and CoD: Black Ops III (apparently the campaign is co-op!).

Minecraft.

Fair enough. I wondered if you might have already done them.

Ah yes, the CoD Zombies mode is co-op I do believe.

That's one of the favourite games of our niece. Who is six

That game frightens the life out of me but she's hardcore!

Never played co-op so take these with a pinch of salt.

Old school

Based on old school Shadow Warrior 2, Shadow Warrior was neat but not co-op,

Rock of Ages 2: Bigger & Boulder graphics look better than the original which made me laugh out loud. If you like the Pythons you got to buy both

Cheers @Abarbarian . Firing up steam to take a look now!

Perusing the Steam sales it looks like the Resident Evil franchise is mainly co-op.

Ta!

I bought "Helldivers" in the end, but it looks like the other guys have also bought Titanfall 2, so I think the multiplayer (rather than co-op) will keep us busy for a while .
