Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/SĪ list of the best co-op games of all time obviously is incomplete without It Takes Two appearing somewhere on it.As long as you both retreat to bed at the same time each day, you can live out the fantasy farming experience however you want, but with some helpful company to hand. In co-op, each of you can choose to do whatever you want across the town, together or apart. Stardew Valley isn’t a game you’ll tire of quickly, but when you find yourself endeared by it, you’ll often wish you were sharing your farm with someone else. I love playing Stardew Valley co-operatively, a lot more than playing solo, anyhow. Tend to your crops and animals together in Stardew Valley. This workload can be lessened, however, by bringing a friend on board for co-op.

There’s a lot of grinding involved in Stardew Valley, which often sees players sinking hundreds of hours into perfecting their farms. It’s so much more than a pixelated RPG that lets you harvest crops and name your animals, though, and will have you restoring life to the entire town one step at a time. Stardew Valley is the farming simulator with a charming tale to tell, coming from one-man powerhouse, Eric Barone (AKA ConcernedApe).
However, gaming is also one of the best activities for connecting with those close to you, and in some cases, it can make or break a friendship (a few of my own friendships have been very much tried and tested by It Takes Two).Ĭo-op games are an absolute treasure because of this. You boot up Elden Ring, and before you know it, you’ve not spoken to a single person other than Ranni for 10 hours. Gaming can be a very solitary activity at times.
