oooooh, now see I play too many videogames, so I'm gonna give you A List. [ also, get these games on sale lmao, Never pay full price for a digital product. also also, NO LIVESERVICES HERE!!!! ]
"The Peak of The Mountain."
- there can only be one king, and that crown was given a long time ago. and that is
Left 4 Dead 2. [ it LITERALLY doesn't get better than this. omg. I've sunk disgusting hours into this with friends. ]
"Traditional Campaigns"
- like Halo MCC, these one's follow the traditional story structure while allowing you to play with a friend.
every Far Cry released after 3. [ like, literally, every single one supports co-op. try out 5. ]
Dying Light. [ oof, this one's peak. maybeee don't touch 2 or The Beast, cause it's a little downhill after the first. only a little. ]
Borderlands 2, The Pre-Sequel, and Wonderlands. [ it's freakin borderlands dude. you know what's up ]
Dead Island 1 & Riptide [ get some of that seventh gen goodness, yeaaaa ]
Portal 2. [ technically a shooter. definitely first person. sounds good enough to me! ]
"aw ew a story mann just give me a gun and something to shoot!"
- no frills shooters with exceedingly excellent gunplay. [ allergen warning: contains roguelikes ]
Prodeus [ a classic boomer shooter made in 2022. it's peam ]
Echo Point Nova [ an open-world fps with unreal amounts of freedom and even better gunplay. you don't get an Overwhelmingly Positive review score NOT being the best. ]
Roboquest [ roguelike one -- it's fast, it's fun! shoot robots! yippee! ]
Gunfire Reborn [ roguelike two -- a pinch more RPG, but just as good as roboquest. either or, honestly. ]
"co-op GRINDHOUSES"
- wanna just boot up a match or mappack and get to goring any group of poor sods put in front of you? check these out!
Vermintide 2 [ get this on sale, and no other time. "like left 4 dead, but melee! and warhammer!" ]
Killing Floor 1 & 2 [ for your own sanity, a 3rd game does not exist. ]
Deep Rock Galactic [ it's DRG. technically a live service game but... it's just SO much better than that label deserves. also, everything live service about it is FREE!!! ]
the Serious Sam Series [ just pick one and go nuts, they're all p good picks ngl ]
"Tactical Trials"
- are you and your brother deeply uncoordinated? then it's time to lock in!
GTFO [ a slow stealth horror horde shooter with more than enough boot to kick your teeth in. it's a gamer ass game lmao ]
Ready or Not [ a SWAT fps with some serious ass shoes dude. seriously. ]
The Outlast Trials. [ it's outlast... but multiplayer... woah. not really a shooter but this section of this half assed list is REALLY underdev'd, people just don't make tactical games "fun" anymore lmao ]
uhh and that's the end of the list loole
