Co-op for coordinated teams
Some groups don't want to relax, they want to sweat: tricky bosses, hordes that punish every mistake and victories you earned. This page collects shooters, fighting and action games with co-op according to Steam and IGDB – for teams who like to push their limits together.
Voice chat is a must here, and assigning roles pays off. If the mood turns after the tenth wipe, switching to something calmer helps.
Our picks
Elden Ring
Bosses that are brutal alone become shared triumphs with summoned friends at your side.
Risk of Rain 2
A roguelike that gets harder every minute. The longer you survive, the crazier enemies and items get.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2
Melee combat against hordes of rat men in a grim fantasy world. Without teamwork, everyone dies.
Popular games: Sweaty
