Bonus points if it has a good story. Also, I’m not going to play DRM-controlled games

    Note: unfortunately these are all on PC and don’t have couch coop unless specified otherwise. I also don’t think they have DRM aside from normal steam stuff (or require an internet connection for actual gameplay purposes), but any steam DRM should be easy to remove.

    Warframe: space ninjas: the game (though it does require an online connection since it’s basically a coop mmo, and it is third-person as opposed to first-person)

    Payday: basically cops vs robbers. You’re the robbers.

    Killing Floor: Lodesemone! Dosh! Grab it while you can, lads! Money, money, money! Coop zombie survival. I hope you love blood and gore.

    Abiotic Factor: what if you were a scientist in the Black Mesa GATE Cascade Research Facility and you had to survive? Can be played single player or multiplayer.

    Halo: MCC: Halo already has a reputation for being the ultimate coop shooter. The MCC adds and expands coop for the games; however the PC version lacks split-screen. This can supposedly be added back with a mod, but I haven’t tried it so I can’t attest to how functional it is.

    I’ve heard Sven Coop is really good if you like Half-Life stuff. It’s a coop Half-Life mod.

    Risk of Rain 2: technically third-person, but a very good coop shooter.

    Halo is the all time best co-op shooter hands down. The lore is surprisingly deep and the story telling is top notch.

    Of course I am referring to 1, 2, 3, odst, and reach.

    3 and on support 4 player co-op. All are in the master chief collection. Added bonus that odst is like an unofficial firefly reunion

      Fyi, afaik Halo MCC supports 2 player coop on Halo: CE, and 4 player coop on the other games. That said, they removed split-screen on the PC version. Supposedly they keep saying they’ll add it back eventually but, well, “eventually” has yet to happen.

      That said, I’ve read there’s a mod for native split screen now so you don’t have to do the awkward Nucleus Coop stuff. I haven’t tried it though, so ymmv.

        Thanks for this. Removing the split screen from the PC version was one of the worst decisions I’ve seen for a game remake.
