Interesting games to play with friends. Online games with friends

I'm a very big fan computer games, and I prefer games with co-op mode the most. What could be better than playing a good game in a great company of friends? Stock up on sofa provisions - make a big cup of coffee, make a huge sandwich, open it with a package of chips, and sit down for a couple or three hours of playing a good co-op with an interesting plot. But even if everything is more or less ready, one of the most important questions remains - what to play? I think many people have had this question, and here is a complete “paragraph”. In this post, I want to figure out which co-op games today can be called the best, and what is 100% worth paying attention to.

First of all, the main choice will be the game genre for you and your friends. In my case, every time I argue with my friends, what are we going to play? Someone wants a shooter, or a light slasher to just relax. I prefer more interesting and exciting games, where the main task the hero not only to smear all his enemies on the walls, but also to have a storyline, pumping and character development. Where you don’t just need to shoot and swing a sword, but also think logically. Some people generally love simulators. Racing, fighting games, or growing cabbage. In general, how many people have so many opinions. But how do you choose a game that everyone will like?

And here is a list of the games that my friends and I sit down to play:

Torchlight 2 – The world of Torchlight is at the epicenter of adventure, mystical discovery, and many worlds. All this is generated randomly. It's hard not to compare this game to Diablo 3, the setting is very similar. The game has a different graphics stylization, and also features a tame pet that helps you in the game. Part 2 can be played with six players. The gameplay is very interesting and enjoyable. This game is worth playing with friends.

Don't Starve Together is a unique atmosphere of the survival genre, where the feeling of loneliness and independent exploration haunts you even in co-op mode. The game is famous for its attention to detail and the balance of appearing items and character skills.

Tom Clancy's The Division is a cooperative shooter with a clearly defined end goal. Long quests for leveling up your character and equipment are not suitable for everyone, but if you and your friends like shooters with leveling up, then you should definitely pay attention to the game. Regular missions, Additional tasks, and the game's combat system will help each player reach their potential. After all, the completion of the task depends on the actions of each player.

Forza Horizon 3 – a co-op mode has been added to the game. Each race can be completed together. So if you're somewhere behind everyone else and your friend is ahead, you'll both get first place medals. If you didn’t complete the trick according to the task, but your friend did it, then you will also get credit for it. You can compete with each other at any time. This is one of the most friendly racing simulators, and you should sit down with your friends.

Killing Floor 2 is a shooter where you and 5 other players must survive a series of attacks. During the defense you have to shoot and beat up very restless enemies. Get together with your friends, choose your class, grab your weapon tighter, and go ahead to fight off the crowds of monsters attacking you. And don't forget that teamwork is vital.

Diablo 3 is a co-op game for 2-4 players. One casts useful spells, another takes on crowds of enemies, the third helps from afar. The characters also have active and passive skills, some of which apply to the entire squad. As you increase the difficulty level, you get more experience, gold, and a chance to get rare or legendary pieces of equipment. But for this you will have to work hard in the battle with the next boss, using various tactics.

GTA Online - 4 players team up to go through a series of story missions in which each character plays a role in a big heist. Missions will competently make each player feel that the outcome of the event depends on him.

Borderlands 2 is a frantic action shooter with interesting and addictive gameplay. You have a lot of fun exploring the planet Pandora, upgrading your hero and constantly experimenting with your combat classes and various types weapons. A lot depends on playing together. After all, the cooperative mode is the heart of the game.

Far Cry 4 – unfortunately, you won’t be able to go through the main campaign together. But there are several separate missions that you can complete with a friend. Together you capture terrorist bases, interacting with the entire world around you. You can split up, where one will be at the very epicenter of combat events, and the second will cover it from the heights, reporting where the opponents are.

Payday 2 – in co-op mode you can play with four players, performing various heists, with more than 30 missions. In the 2nd part of the game, a dynamic scenario mode appeared, where if you fail the task, then the next time the plot will be different. Everyone can follow their own development branch. You can create a unique team from different player skills. In the game you can change your character's style, improve weapons and special equipment.

Portal 2 - the sequel turned out to be very successful, and the co-op mode added even more colors to the game. Huge locations, excellent graphics, gameplay based on the creation of 2 portals. To complete the levels, you and your friend need to solve a series of puzzles while helping each other.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon - the game was originally conceived as a cooperative game. In the co-op mode, the game becomes much more interesting than a single company. In the plot, you are a special forces group chasing the leader of a drug cartel, gradually destroying his camps and crowds of heavily armed enemies.

Gears of War 4 is a game about strong male friendship, where beefy fighters fight their way back to back through the horrors of a dying world. IN online mode A game is available for up to 5 people, where you constantly destroy endless waves of monsters. The co-op mode of this game is a dynamic shooter, close teamwork, and maximum drive.

Of course, I cannot list all the games, but I tried to talk about interesting and more popular ones. I also did not specifically assign this or that place to games. I think every game deserves attention. Well, as they say - “Felt-tip pens have different tastes and colors,” so it’s up to you to decide which game is best for you. Write in the comments what games you play.

The virtual world is very interesting and varied, but exploring it alone can quickly get boring, then you can invite a friend or friends to join you. Fighting monsters and aliens, exploring fantasy worlds and looking for various objects is much more exciting in the company of faithful comrades. And while completing tasks, you can exchange impressions, consult, ask for help, for this you need to write in special chats. Surely your friends will not refuse you and will be happy to help, but you don’t forget about them: cover, protect, save in difficult times! There are a lot of games in which there is a collective passage, most often these are shooters, strategies, survival simulators and RPGs. All you have to do is choose a plot to your liking and start quickly!

Together it’s more fun and easier

Going through missions together is much easier than alone. And the tasks, rest assured, are very difficult and dangerous. For example, in shooters you will deal with brutal terrorists and militants, crazy villains - world conquerors, alien invaders and other evil spirits. They will not let you relax, they will constantly shoot, throw granules, and taking hostages or mining buildings is generally their favorite pastime. You, in the role of a brave special forces commander, will rescue poor hostages, clear buildings, and also capture and neutralize terrorists, although it is better and more effective to simply finish them off so that one day they will not return to their old ways. Of course, in shooting games you can also act splendid isolation, but the question is: how long can you last against a dozen, or even a couple of hundred militants armed to the teeth? If there is at least one comrade next to you, or better yet two, three, four or more, then you will feel much calmer and more confident, because brothers in arms will be able to cover you and will always lend a helping hand.

In survival simulators you can also often find modes in which you can play with friends and strangers online. You can usually gather in small groups of two to eight people. One of the heroes becomes the main one, he is responsible for everyone, he is the first to rush to fight opponents, takes care of shelter, food, water, medicine, weapons. In general, the role of the chief is not as simple and sweet as many people think. This is a big responsibility and a complete headache. But if you can become a good, fair and caring leader, other team members will fight and fight for you.

In survival games you must always be on guard, because zombies, aliens, ghouls, goblins, robots and other creatures are prowling around. And danger often comes from people, because when life is important resources is not enough, killing one’s own kind is not such a sin, but an urgent necessity. So, first of all, when you find yourself in a post-apocalyptic world, find allies, and destroy the rest of the people and the dead without any regret. Also, collect resources and monitor the needs of your small squad. Remember that it will be difficult in any case: in the desert, on the beach, in the mountains, and in the city.

When you can't do without support

In strategies and RPGs, a sense of companionship is especially important. Just imagine, your hero will be thrown into the thick of war, for example, in World War II, in the war of the worlds of the future, or somewhere else. There are armed enemies all around, everyone looks at you as if you were a mistake of nature and is trying to destroy you as quickly as possible in order to immediately take everything from you. If there is only one hero, then with 99% confidence we can say that he will be killed very soon, perhaps in the very first seconds. If there is a friend or two or three nearby, then chances arise.

You will take part in a variety of battles, for example, you will find yourself in parallel universe in the midst of the World War and you will fight on the side of one of the armies: Russia, the USA or European countries. A faithful friend will cover you, bring you a weapon or ammunition, distract an attentive enemy, bandage a wound - he can do anything. Fights can find you not only somewhere in parallel, but also in the future or in the past. The Second World War, a war with aliens some hundred years later, medieval campaigns of conquest - choose what you like best. In some online strategies, you and your friends can build a village, a city or an entire empire that will last not a year, not a hundred years, but thousands - from the time of the caveman to the present day. Coping with such a large-scale task with friends is much easier and more fun. Alone, you simply won’t keep track of everything, and your empire will be destroyed.

And, of course, it will not do without magic, magical creatures, ancient castles, Vikings and other heroes. You can find all this in a variety of RPGs, which are full of original plots. If you need to fight a giant boss or a huge fire-breathing dragon, then a friend will be very useful. One of you will distract the formidable enemy, and the other will deliver sudden, accurate and crushing blows.

Loneliness is an absolute evil, unless you are a hermit, monk or poet. And the culture of domestic games initially consisted of joint gatherings at 8-bit consoles. Playing together (sometimes there may be more people) has been customary in Russia for a long time. Our selection is dedicated to such joint entertainment.

Gears of War series (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC)

The Gears of War series is designed to be played together. The implementation of the cooperative mode here is one of the best not only in the genre, but in the gaming industry in general. Exploring this dark world with a friend is much more fun. From the point of view of gameplay for two, absolutely all parts are good, including the weak Judgment. Let's call Gears of War 2 the best.

Halo 3 (Xbox 360)

Halo (as a series) is also ideal for co-op play. However, the third part remains the most powerful and most interesting from the point of view of gameplay and history. Among other things, the second main character here is a full-fledged one, and not a dummy, as in Halo 4.

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (PlayStation 2, Xbox)

The best two-player game in the Mortal Kombat franchise outside of the main fighting series. The adventures of Liu Kang and Kung Lao through the locations of the original Mortal Kombat with the plot is a true fan's dream and an ideal representative of the now almost dead "beat" em "up" genre.

Chip & Dale (NES)

Favorite childhood pastime. A favorite of Khrushchev's five-story buildings. The perfect co-op platformer with advanced features (Chip can grab Dale and throw him, and vice versa), fun music and wonderful level design. There are two parts.

Resident Evil 5 and 6 (PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360)

High-quality cooperative horror Resident Evil 5 and furious hellish shooter Resident Evil 6. Did you play alone? Well, take a boyfriend or girlfriend. In the cooperative, both parts will sparkle with new colors. And if you want more, then buy Resident Evil: Revelations 2.

Diablo III (PC, Mac OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One)

Diablo III turned out to be good not only as a personal adventure with endless monster slaughter, but also as a fun game for two for a week or two.

Borderlands 2 (PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360)

At first it will seem to you that best game Earthlings have not yet come up with a solution for two players. About 50-60 hours. Then an understanding of the monotony of what is happening will come. Don't panic, stop playing for another week, and then turn on Borderlands 2 again. It is a cooperative drug that should be taken in doses.

Contra (NES)

Who hasn't played it with their grandfather, father or grandmother? It seems that Contra came to every home of former Soviet citizens in the early 1990s. And the memories of this complex (it’s much more difficult to play with two people than alone) shooter-arcade are still alive. As if it was just yesterday.
