I guess these games are a good excuse to
get your friends over welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we will be
counting down our picks for the top 10
video games that are best played co-op
thanks for this list we looked at games
that can be played alone in single
player but we feel provide a much
stronger experience when played with a
buddy or two or three know that we
aren’t talking about the overall quality
of the game on its own but rather just
how preferable it is to play these games
with a friend this can be for a variety
of reasons such as avoiding bad computer
partner AI working together to overcome
difficult objectives or simply because
it’s more enjoyable with someone by your
side

number ten star fox zero all right Pepe
good luck
after a near decade hiatus from one of
Nintendo’s flagship franchises bucks in
the gang sword back into the gaming
scene earlier this year to a lukewarm
reception no abnormalities detected from
gear while several aspects of the game
were praised much of the criticism
revolved around Star Fox zeroes awkward
and cumbersome control scheme the player
must multitask flying with the analog
stick and aiming with a gamepad which is
much easier said than done use the
cockpit view on the gamepad when you
need precision aiming however the game
featured a co-op mode where players
could divide the roles of flying and
shooting respectively which alleviates a
lot of the stress that arises from
trying to do both yourself now you and a
pound can actually enjoy the game
together because you’ll actually be able
to play it without cursing obscenities
at the screen no it’s so I’m so shooting
stuff you’re watching peasant I’m so
sure look at your game number 9 Diablo 2
it’s been a while since I’ve seen any of
your kind in the West it would be an
honor to aid you in any way that I can
multiplayer gaming really began to
evolve and take new shape with the
rising surge of online communities on
the PC one of the most pivotal reasons
for its expansion and success was
blizzards battlenet which the company
utilized for massive online play in
their games like Starcraft it will take
more than just killing a few beasts in
the wilderness to earn my trust we feel
the online component was best
implemented though into Diablo 2 as its
dungeon crawling style of gameplay just
screamed cooperative fun even today 16
years later after release thrill-seekers
u-19 Diablo 2 game lobbies in search of
the exciting danger that awaits in those
deep dark environments considering that
the worlds are randomly generated and
can be played with up to 8 players it’s
a cooperative experience that can well
go on for years it’s good to see some
strong adventures around here number 8
halo 5 Guardians
the original halo defines the landscape
of online multiplayer for consoles in
the early 2000s though we’re more
talking about the campaign here
[Music]
although coop play was definitely
available in previous installments it’s
not quite as realized as it is in
guardians if one were to play the
campaign mode on their own they would
have to endure bafflingly stupid AI
partners that get in the way far more
than they can help out it’s crazy to
think that what would have been an
otherwise phenomenal addition to the
Halo series could be ruined by poorly
designed computer allies maybe even
worse by the removal of split-screen
play
thanks Microsoft much appreciate it
we’ll get you on the sixth try number
seven lovers in a dangerous space-time
in this breakout indie hit the player is
tasked with controlling a spaceship and
all the different stations within it it
is entirely possible to play the game on
your own but think of it like this on
Star Trek you really think it would be
easy for one person to manage the
entirety of the enterprise on their own
we don’t think so which is why this game
is much better with others it’s not that
it necessarily takes away any of the
challenge that the game provides but
rather it actually benefits from the
additional element of working together
as a team
gamer’s will create a bond based on
trust and coordination to trudge through
the perilous depths of space in one
piece
number six time crisis three
we’re going to skip the formalities and
just cut to the chase here it’s a light
gun shooter why would you ever play a
light gun shooter by yourself well the
answer here is simple dual cabinet setup
by giving each player their own screen
to work with the game places a strong
emphasis on covering your ally whenever
they’re under fire not to mention the
weapon swap system introduced in the
third game which allows for more
strategic communication furthermore
aside from just lending you a helping
hand the game is just a blast that
should be shared with someone as you
shoot away the bad guys you can both Moo
and awe at the on screen and our keep
together
number five the division we don’t have
much Intel and we don’t have the luxury
of failure not with Manhattan under
lockdown and Brooklyn on the brink
ubisoft’s huge open-world shooter tasks
players with moving through desolate
city streets in this online-only
experience with an abundance of players
constantly playing online and the name
of the game being survival firefights
breaking out around every corner is
pretty much normal for this game
in such a dangerous landscape it’s a
good idea to find some companions and
travel together to better the chances of
outlasting any ambushes that may come
your way
it should also be noted that alliances
aren’t everlasting as players can
backstab each other just as quickly as
they become partners much like Destiny’s
online world finding players that you
can cooperate and bond with is essential
for success
number four The Legend of Zelda Triforce
heroes
[Music]
so before we explain anything to you
let’s have a little grammar lesson the
game is called Triforce heroes heroes
plural so go figure it’s better with a
group for the anti social gamers among
us Triforce Heroes doesn’t force you to
go multiplayer as every level can be
tackled on your lonesome but considering
how tedious it is to carry doppelgangers
in single-player Nintendo clearly
envisioned this one to be played with
others
[Music]
nearly every puzzle and boss requires
precision great timing and multitasking
things which would become a serious
headache if you tried to do the belong
[Music]
the game really does shine in
multiplayer and all things considered
why should link have to save Hyrule
alone every time right number three
order lands to
the borderland series in a nutshell is
all about scavenging the wasteland for
valuable loot such as weapons and more
weapons and some shields and then two
more weapons for someone to play through
all this alone it can become very
repetitive very quickly as the gameplay
is essentially on our rinse repeat cycle
of doing the same thing even diehard
Borderlands players agree that playing
alone is not the way to go and that the
experience of playing with others is
practically night and day are you
gathering Luton experience with
teammates is a much smoother experience
overall as mission objectives can be
tackled at a group with each member
using their skills with a greater goal
number two left 4 dead 2 left 4 dead is
a co-op based first-person shooter set
in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with
the undead if such a cataclysmic event
were to happen in reality
you’d really like to have trustworthy
and capable people by your side to help
you out right
well the AI of your allies at left 4
dead 2 provides new such dependability
as they scamper right into danger
leaving you well left 4 dead
[Music]
it’s for this reason that playing online
with others is a much more pleasurable
way to go through the game as people
will actually listen to the suggestions
you make cover your bank in desperate
situations and make more intelligent
decisions ensuring your survival in each
stage trust us when we say use your
brains and play with others
before we reveal our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
number one Resident Evil 5 Resident Evil
4 made a huge splash in the gaming world
when it was released and when a
follow-up was officially revealed the
hype skyrocketed that’s why I’m upon
helped put them at ease unfortunately
all expectations were crushed upon
playing the game as the horrendous AI of
your partner Sheva was laughably stupid
for insistence on running into groups of
enemies using up precious healing items
and not following commands made her
almost as brain-dead as the zombies in
prior games thankfully the game
supported co-op playing split-screen or
online and we highly recommend playing
Resident Evil this way as opposed to
going solo
playing with another human makes the
experience much more manageable and
enjoyable overall because they can
actually you know help
do you agree with our list L order you
to kill us both what video game do you
