As I've aged, my interest in competitive multiplayer games has waned. I find that I have no interest in fighting other players online, that I don't really care about the score I get, and that having those things present in a game tends to pair me up with players I'd rather not play with…
Yup, we’ve played every Borderlands game, It Takes Two, Palworld, Rotwood, PlateUp, LEGO Harry Potter, Deep Rock Galactic, Outward, Stardew Valley, Cult of the Lamb, Sea of Thieves, Baldur’s Gate 3, Grounded, Don’t Starve Together… We also play other ‘competitive’ games co-op against bots, like in Beyond All Reason, Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and Predecessor. I could go on but I could list games for a while. Definitely always looking for new ones though.
Sure you can play doom 1 and 2 campaigns in co-op. No need for modding. You don’t even need a network card. Just buy a cable to connect both serial-ports on the PCs.
That was my first co-op experience and it still one of the best I’ve ever had.
Our throats hurt from laughing when playing “Chained Together”. It’s short and cheap. We’re happy we picked easy mode for the first play through since that’s already quite challenging

Portal 2 co-op is dope.
One of my favorites. The ability to be a dick to your friend and vice versa adds more replayability then you’d expect
If you likes it takes two, in march the same studio should release “split fiction”.
Other titles that come to mind: cuphead, untitled goose game, overcooked (!), valheim.
Split fiction looks super cool!
There’s heaps of mods for classic games to turn them into co-op, including Doom (3), half life, quake, aliens vs predator, etc.

And from memory, the number of enemies scales with the number of players. It’s gets pretty hectic pretty fast.
Arma 3 offers a unique coop experience due to Arma’s nature. Worth a try if you have a group of friends to play with.
Rayman Legends is an amazing couch co-op game if you like platformers. I still think about the musical levels from time to time.
Should really check that one out, I’ve always heard good things
Ghost Recon. Outriders. There are more. And old games are still fun. (But yes, more would be better)
Sea of Stars added co-op for up to 3 players in a recent update.
Also, Broforce is 1-4 players
ooo, i was wondering when that Sea of Stars update was coming out, thanks. time to buy it
Railbound is a fun one
