They're man-sized opponents with weapons and minds of their own, making them individual combatants that are more satisfying to fight than ravenous zombies. The five classes, each with separate skills and access to different weapons, help to give each player their own role. Those vermin are more varied, too, with a random selection of mini-bosses and horde types to make each run feel a little different.
Fatshark nailed the melee combat at its core and sprinkled in some breathtaking level design, and the end result might be the best horde survival game , even if you don't like Warhammer.
It's not exactly the most original setting: a dilapidated space station filled with aliens and crimson, world-building wall graffiti. Viscera Cleanup Detail turns this tried and tested scenario on its head, tasking you not with repelling the aliens, but cleaning up the bloody aftermath with a mop that looks like Zoidberg's mouth.
With up to 32 players, you mop up blood, collect spent shells, deposit bits of human in contaminant containers, refill med stations and incinerate body parts. You might think that more players means faster cleaning, but with you all tracking bloodied footprints across the floor and knocking over buckets filled with gory slop, it won't be long before things devolve into a food fight. But with human limbs instead of food. Overcooked and its sequel Overcooked 2 are both are silly games of simmering and sizzling, the physical manifestation of the phrase "too many cooks spoil the broth".
You're in a kitchen with up to three other players, and you have to make food to order by preparing and combining certain ingredients. To get this done properly, everyone needs to carry out their appointed tasks pronto. Thing is, it doesn't always work out that way. The kitchens of Overcooked are constantly changing. Narrow spaces mean players get in each other's way.
Sometimes the whole level shifts. Benches on a ship will slide down the deck with each large wave, altering the layout entirely, while cooking in two trucks means that one part of the kitchen will occasionally accelerate, suddenly becoming off-limits.
How will you get the chow off the hob before it boils into an inedible paste? By shouting at your fellow chefs, of course. Overcooked 1 and 2 are much the same, but it's 2 we'd recommend. For one, it's now got online multiplayer as well as local, letting you play with those geographically distant friends. For two, you can now throw ingredients back and forth between chefs. Your co-chef needs more mushrooms?
Maybe he'll catch the one you just threw to him; maybe it'll bonk him right in the face. There is a lot of shooting and adventuring on this list, but very few opportunities to hang out in a turnip field.
Stardew Valley lets you live out an alternate life as a farmer, away from the hustle and bustle of cities and video games with guns. It's about escape. Ever since the multiplayer update, you can now escape with friends.
It provides a place to be rather than a challenge to overcome. Each of you gets to dodder around town, either working together and divvying up tasks or ploughing away at individual farms. It's not that the Valley feels sterile without other humans, but there are only so many blackberries you can hand over to your NPC neighbours before your relationships start feeling one dimensional. With real people in the mix, you get an actual community.
Maybe your pal has a spare melon you can give to Penny for her birthday. Maybe they'll bake you a cake. Or steal your chickens. People breathe warmth and life into this farming game fantasy that's already about those things. You've got the freedom to pursue whatever charming humdrum activity takes your fancy.
Go fishing. Comb the beach. Or, if you want, mercilessly compete to see who can optimise profits. It's your farm. It's a simple pitch: a group of dwarven friends with class-based skills walk into an asteroid, mine for materials, and fight back the critters who fancy them for dinner.
What complicates matters is the need to leave again: once their pockets are full, the dwarves have got five minutes to down pickaxes and reach an escape pod before it leaves without them. This is even more complicated than it seems, because the asteroid's tunnels and caverns are a twisting warren interspersed with enormous drops. Re-trace your path inwards in reverse, in a rush, and it's easy to get lost - and those drops are now, of course, climbs.
If you thought to make your ad hoc constructions two-way when you threw them up on the way in, then no problem. If you were hasty, or if your platforms were destroyed by explosive enemies, then you're going to need to construct a new route. The adrenaline rush of your extraction is a thrill with friends over voice comms all panicking together. If you've never played Payday 2 or its predecessor, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was about perfect planning, stealth and crowd control.
The reality is a bit different, and it usually goes like this: the four of you excitedly chat about how you're going to approach a heist, you split up, someone fudges it almost instantly and every police officer in the world turns up to shoot you all in the head. It's more wave defense than precision stealth, with each player setting up traps, sharing ammo and trying to keep the police at bay as a timer ticks down. It's chaotic and messy, but the shooting is weighty enough and the skill trees are satisfying to advance through.
It's possible get through each of the heists without raising an alarm, but it's bloody hard and you stand very little chance until you've unlocked some of the more advanced skills. Still, the possibility hangs there like a 24 carat carrot, nudging you all to have another go until you've perfected every scenario. Streets of Rogue is a chaotic playground at the best of times. Adding more players makes it more so, but not just by mindlessly multiplying the destruction. While players are on the same 'side', the NPCs treat you all as separate entities - another person like them, not a faction they can magically recognise.
Combined with its systems-driven design already present in single player, it means that instead of blocking each other out, your options overlap to create more opportunities.
The usual friction between players who want to do things in different ways is reduced, as you can opt out of getting involved, or even exploit the other players' behaviour to give yourself more options. You died, but someone playing as a shapeshifter possessed a hacker, then reprogrammed a slot machine to improve its odds while a third player tried to win enough money to pay for the resurrection. And even if you're all going full chaos, the rippling reactions to your rampage produce as many laughs out of sitting back and watching the aftermath.
None of us know how we ended up with a loyal gorilla minion who joined a gang. The best example of asymmetry in co-op. It involves at least two players - one of you is defusing a bomb with judicious mouse clicks and cautious wire snips, the other is giving instructions from a bomb-defusing manual.
Neither player can look at what the other is doing. It's one of the most perfect set-ups for the destruction of a healthy relationship and a fantastic example of leaving the screen itself behind. You don't have to print out the manual to read from it you could just read the PDF file from a laptop but we think it's the best way to play. You flip hurriedly through pages, trying to decipher the theory of these explosive devices.
Then comes the challenge of communicating the quirks and symbols of the page in a way that won't be misunderstood. As the bomb handler, you're consistently double-checking and second-guessing your team mate as they stammer out their directions. In the end, you've just got to trust them.
Arma 3 takes place on a pair beautiful fictional Greek islands. It does have a single-player campaign, but it's that island, the vehicles, guns and mechanics, and the painstaking attention to detail, that makes Arma 3 great. It's a platform for the community to create their own games upon, and there's enough community made content that if you get into it, you could be playing Arma 3's cooperative mode to the exclusion of any other game.
There's something about Arma's design philosophy that makes it especially well suited to playing with other people. Partly there's the realism, which obviously lends itself well to the kinds of genuine squad tactics you can enact when playing with some dedicated friends or a committed community like ShackTac. Partly it's the way in which the islands are designed in spite of you, not in service to you, making your steady journeys across the landscape with another person feel more satisfying than overcoming a set of contrived obstacles.
Hopefully one of you is a good pilot. Now available for free to anyone who already owns Don't Starve, Don't Starve Together lets you try and survive its Burton-esque nightmare wilderness with friends. While you might think it would be easier to survive with someone to huddle up to by the night's fire, cooperation here won't just see you chopping up firewood twice as fast - the more players you have, the more competition there is for food.
Though a fun game, The main story is disappointing. If you are a fan of both Borderlands 1 and 2 characters and are invested in them, you will be pissed. Krieg deserved better.
