272 Co-op & Multiplayer games reviewed and scored, best first.
272 reviews
The action RPG that turned build crafting into something you can actually read and steer — fifteen masteries, a specialization tree on every skill, and deterministic crafting — held back by a campaign nobody replays and an endgame that runs out of new ideas before you do.
8 / 10
A co-op zombie classic still Overwhelmingly Positive 17 years on, beloved for exactly what it doesn't have — no loot boxes, no unlocks, no grind — held back for the entire span of its Steam review history by one specific, remarkably persistent complaint about its Versus community.
8 / 10
A factory game where your conveyor belts double as your ammo supply, so a bottleneck in copper isn't a spreadsheet problem, it's a hole in your wall. Free and open source on Android and itch.io, a paid one-off on Steam, and one of the most distinctive marriages of automation and tower defence around.
8 / 10
A free, PS1-textured love letter to World at War and Black Ops 1's original Zombies mode, built by a small team that shipped ten hotfixes in its first five days — including one that directly fixed the exact balance complaint players were posting about at the same time.
8 / 10
A top-down sandbox RPG that spent six years in Early Access building the one system that actually separates it from the Terraria-likes around it — recruit settlers, hand them jobs, and your colony keeps working while you're off fighting something in a cave.
8 / 10
Team Ninja builds a three-stance, Ki Pulse-driven combat system deeper than almost anything else in the genre, then buries a big chunk of its own goodwill under Diablo-scale loot noise and mission design that leans hard on reused level layouts.
8 / 10
The most complete redemption story in gaming, a decade on. The 2016 launch reviews and the 2026 ones are describing almost different games — and the newest wave of criticism has nothing to do with the old one.
8 / 10
Grinding Gear Games rebuilt combat around commitment and rhythm instead of clear speed, redrew the passive tree and skill-gem system from the ground up, and is still rebuilding the endgame around them nineteen months into Early Access — a genre-defining campaign wrapped around systems that are still visibly under construction.
8 / 10
An emotionally overwhelming, near-universally acclaimed western epic — undermined for over six straight years by a mandatory launcher that reviewers say can prevent you from playing even the offline single-player campaign, and a 2024 "Labor of Love" award many felt the game's own neglect made absurd.
8 / 10
A third-person roguelite where every pickup multiplies the last one while a fixed difficulty clock keeps climbing underneath you — number-go-up design wearing a shooter's clothes. Reviewed against the game's full history, including the DLC launch Gearbox itself admitted put the PC version "in a really bad place," and the year it took to fix.
8 / 10
Eight years after release and still getting a major update every month, Rust remains the most uncompromising survival game ever made — and the one whose own veterans write the funniest negative reviews about how much of their lives it took.
8 / 10
A co-op drug-empire sim that turned into one of the biggest word-of-mouth hits of the past two years, built almost single-handedly and beloved for exactly the reasons Breaking Bad was — right up until the empire is built and there's nothing left to do with it.
8 / 10
A decade in Early Access ends with Drilling Thunder, a genuinely substantial 1.0 update that finally gives Scrap Mechanic's celebrated building physics a full story campaign — while leaving the host-dependent multiplayer that has bugged players since 2016 exactly as it was.
8 / 10
A top-down action-roguelite from the studio behind Dungreed, built around a Tetris-style artifact inventory that turns loadout planning into its own puzzle game — dense, generous with content, and let down late by a damage-sponge final boss and a steep endgame DPS wall.
8 / 10
A small Paris studio built a turn-based CRPG on Dungeons & Dragons' free 5.1 rules document rather than a paid brand license, and the result plays closer to an actual tabletop session than any of its bigger-budget rivals — verticality, light and darkness included — while looking and sounding like exactly the smaller production it is.
8 / 10
A cozy management game about dying, and one of the few games that earns the crying its reviews describe. The management half is fetch quests and minigames — which is the honest thing to tell you, because the store page sells it the other way round.
8 / 10
A terraforming survival-crafting game that turns a barren world into a breathable one in front of your eyes — beloved for exactly that transformation, and honestly criticized by a consistent minority for being addictive without offering much real friction or danger.
8 / 10
Respawn Entertainment's 2016 shooter remains Overwhelmingly Positive across more than 284,000 Steam reviews, widely regarded as one of the finest FPS campaigns ever made — a reputation shadowed by a genuine, years-long multiplayer DDoS crisis this review can confirm directly from the developer's own communications, and by the mandatory EA App launcher requirement that recurs as a real, persistent complaint even in reviews from Steam Deck-era players decades removed from launch.
8 / 10
A 2012 answer to Diablo III's always-online auction house, built by former Blizzard North designers — and still worth playing today largely because of the mod scene that kept extending it after Runic Games itself closed down.
8 / 10
A survival-crafting game with action-RPG combat and a boss list instead of a tech tree, built around a PvP fantasy that most of its players quietly opt out of. Two years past 1.0, with the studio now calling it content-complete, it's worth being precise about which version of this game you're actually signing up for.
8 / 10
A free-to-play space-ninja shooter that has been adding systems since 2013 without ever taking one away. Genuinely one of the most generous live-service games on the market, and one of the hardest to explain to a friend. Reviewed with Jade Shadows: Constellations current.
8 / 10
Shiro Games' open-world mercenary RPG treats a company of sellswords as a small business — wages, food, gear repair and prisoners are the real spreadsheet, and combat is what happens when that spreadsheet goes wrong.
8 / 10
A voxel zombie survival game built entirely around a scheduled siege that arrives on a known clock and gets worse every time. Eleven years in Early Access ended in July 2024 — the core loop is still one of the smartest in the genre, but the years show in how it looks, runs and argues with its own community about what it used to be.
7.5 / 10
A quarter-century-old RTS landmark, still played and beloved by a genuinely intergenerational audience — and, since early 2025, at the center of a real controversy among its own most dedicated veterans over new Three Kingdoms civilizations they say abandon the series' historical design philosophy.
