Best Co-op Games for You and Your Pookie ♡

Nothing brings gamers closer together than playing a co-op game side by side 🫂✨. As we celebrate World Friendship Day, here’s a list of some of the best games that will strengthen your relation or put it to the test (you won’t find Chained Together in this article, as we definitely wouldn’t like to cause any friendship drama)

1. Overcooked! 2

Get ready for some (crazy) chaotic kitchen fun with Overcooked! 2. This hilarious cooking simulation game requires you to prepare and serve a variety of dishes in increasingly absurd and challenging kitchens. Teamwork and communication are key as you navigate moving platforms, portals, and even flaming obstacles.

Turn up the heat 🔥🦐and cook up a storm. Grab Overcooked! 2 (for less than €5❗) on Kinguin.

2. A Way Out

A Way Out is a unique co-op game that can only be played in two-player mode, either locally or online. You and your Pookie will play as 🚨 two inmates who must work together to break out of prison and stay on the run. With its gripping story and diverse gameplay, A Way Out offers an unforgettable cooperative experience.

Experience the thrill of A Way Out here for Xbox and here for PC.

3. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

Pilot a neon spaceship through the galaxy in Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime. This colorful and frantic co-op game has you and your duo controlling different parts of the ship- like turrets, shields, and thrusters- to fight enemies and rescue cute space bunnies. Coordination and quick reflexes are crucial for success.

Navigate the cosmos and save the bunnies 🐰🐰🐰 here.

4. Portal 2

Portal 2’s co-op mode is a masterclass in puzzle-solving and teamwork. You and your Pookie will need to use your brains (and portals) to navigate through complex and clever test chambers designed by the sadistic AI, GLaDOS. With its witty dialogue and mind-bending puzzles, Portal 2 offers endless fun.

If you happen to have a friend, who don’t know any gaming classics, and plays only new AAA, this is a brilliant idea for a gift <3. 

Purchase Portal 2 on Kinguin.

5. Divinity: Original Sin 2

Dive into a rich, immersive RPG experience with Divinity: Original Sin 2. This critically acclaimed game allows you and your Pookie to explore a vast, open world filled with intricate quests, strategic turn-based combat, and deep character customization. Cooperation and tactical planning are essential to overcome the game's many challenges.

We recommend Divinity: Original Sin 2 in GOG version here, but feel free to find other platforms here. 

6. Cuphead

For a mix of classic animation and tough-as-nails gameplay, look no further than Cuphead. You and your Pookie can team up as ☕ Cuphead and Mugman, tackling a series of challenging bosses in this beautifully hand-drawn game. Precision and coordination are key to overcoming its demanding levels.

Face off against the devil's minions in Cuphead on Kinguin.

7. It Takes Two
