Bonus points if it has a good story. Also, I’m not going to play DRM-controlled games
Borderlands series (Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands as well), Gunfire Reborn, Vermintide 2, Helldivers 2, Remnant: From the Ashes, Valheim (not fps but you can use mods for first person view) and coop is amazing in Valheim, Nioh 2. Also could do Gears series (3rd is best, 4th and 5th are ok but still decent fun with friends).
I’ve been into co-op games lately with my friends.
Edit: steam spring sales is coming soon™. Can’t wait to grab a few of those.
I also reccomend deep rock galactic, the devs are very involved in the community. The community is (mostly) amazing. There isn’t much story and it is completely hidden in the in game encyclopedia and the wiki. No drm (apart from steam) and lots of content and depth that keeps you hooked once you make it to your first promotion.
Already played 500h+ of DRG with close friends that don’t live close by.
Great game to have fun, talk, but also challenging if you want it to be.
Can’t recommend it enough!
ROCK AND STONE!
ROCK & STONE, BROTHER!
If you want no DRM, you are basically only going to get your games from GOG.
Vermintide 2.
Deep Rock Galactic.
FarCry (I think all of them? It’s been forever since I played 1-3 tho; the newest ones all have co-op)
Halo 1 and 2
But not 3, Reach or ODST?
When I was a kid I had a blast playing Time Splitters: Future Perfect on my friend’s PS2. Such a fun game, with a great co-op story mode.
It’s got to be one of the best co-op games ever made IMO. Also a ton of fun to be had with the arcade modes.
Seconding Dying Light 1 and Borderlands 2. Excellent games! If you’re open to 3rd person, Helldivers 2 and The Division 2. No idea about DRM, though.
Helldivers and Division are definitely DRM.
Removed by mod
You didn’t even contribute a game which is why you were downvoted. You were edgy for just being edgy
Halo is my top pick, the first three have great stories and couch co-op if you need that, and if you get the master chief collection (halo mcc), the multiplayer is great and you can find tons of forge mode maps created by people, from race modes to mini golf haha
Gears of war is also fantastic, epic story, fun gameplay, and who doesn’t love a chainsaw bayonet lol
Deep rock galactic is another really fun one, I can’t say there’s too deep of a story too it, but it’s endlessly repayable with all the combinations of weapons and procedurally generated missions.
Oh gears, amazing co-op! Great cover system and a chainsaw on a gun. Phenomenal!
Helldivers 2 is fantastic fun and I still play it weekly, even though I’m max level with everything unlocked.
Technically not a FPS though
And has mandatory online anyway, so that would be DRM.
True, but you can go first person for ADS.
Does portal 2 coop count? Technically it’s a FPS
Left 4 Dead 2 has a split-screen mod.
Halo 1, 2, 3 & Reach
Bro, ODST is like the best one!
Indeed, how could I forget quite possibly the best game Bungie ever put out
Borderlands Borderlands 2
- all the DLC’s.
Then if you’re still interested, Borderlands Pre-sequel
And if you find yourself really into the series, Borderlands 3
Remnant 2, it’s third person but it’s one of my favorite games ever.
How does it compare to the first?
It’s a big improvement on every area, especially the bosses and levels.
It’s the kind of game that makes it hard to go back to the original.
Good to know! I played through most of the first, which I felt like I was ultimately tolerating…
The first game felt like a really cool tech demo with the occasional cool boss here and there.
The sequel is that concept turned into a proper game. Each world now has it’s own mini-campaign that ends in a final boss with dialogue, minor choices and everything.
The bosses are my favorite part though, the main ones are extremely creative and polished, especially the final one.
The problem with the first (I haven’t played the second), was that it felt like a story game where you play through the story in one go, when it ultimately turned out to be an instance grinding game to get gear to progress.
I went in expecting dark souls with guns, but got the weird love child of world of warcraft and dark souls with a reset button to progress.
Mmm, the structure is more or less the same, you now have 2 (3 with dlc) stories per world that you can get each reroll.
I played about 15 hours with a friend and honestly found it to be a very annoying experience
The combat never felt satisfying, and reminded me a little too much of destiny 2. By this I mean that all the shots from your guns sounded and felt like you were roughly sneezing on the enemies, and the ui felt too “clean” for what was supposed to be a more gritty game
The layouts of the dungeons felt nonsensical, such as in that one British town setting, or absolutely mind numbingly boring, such as in the futuristic open desert one
After my time playing, it felt like I was making no story progress (besides the characters sometimes saying “wow where’s that one character we saw for all of ten minutes”), and it was never clear how I was supposed to progress. This is in stark contrast to dark souls, where this is an intended and relishable experience
To clarify, are you talking about Remnant 1 or 2? Which one is better?
Remnant 2. I’ve heard that remnant 1 is better, but never played it
