My mate and I quite fancy doing some online play with our PS5s. We're not committed enough to play shooty shoot with the big boys (i.e. the kids and unemployed who do nothing else), but we fancy some online cooperative type games.

He's got 'It takes two', which has a free second player version, that we're going to start off with, and we've discussed GTA V when the PS5 version is released, but I wondered if the PH Massive had any suggestions of other online two player co-op games?

Currently playing Far Cry with a mate. It's fun if not a little cut scene heavy.

FIFA 22 is the other obvious choice.

A Way Out. (PS4)

https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=...

A little old now, but a good (if predictable) story, lots of random things to do along the way, such as pushups (mash that button like it’s 1980’s 8-bit!), balancing a wheelchair, (62 seconds in case you’re competitive) and takes around 10h to run through.

You then need to do it all again of course as the other character & try the different decision trees along the way.

A mate & I look specifically for co-op games, and that was our pick of things we did last year. We’re currently working our way through Portal2, and have Human: Fall Flat for after that. Green Hell tentatively lined up for later in the year.

I'd recommend Sackboy: A Big Adventure - has online and local co-op modes, probably my fave game of this generation so far!

Overcooked 2 is a good shout too.

Thanks for the suggestions chaps.

On Sunday, we got the headsets working and friended each other and got going on It Takes Two.

What a great game and great fun cooperating towards a common goal. Really enjoyed it. Will certainly take a look at the suggestions in this thread.

Fallout 76 has developed into a good online co-op game, you can be on a team up to 4 people. There's options to play on private teams (you and your mate) on a public server, be part of a public team on a public server or with a 1st membership you can have your own private server.

It's a mix of quest and non linear explorative stuff. A big part of the game now is camp building too which takes up lots of time but is enjoyable once you see the end result!

The Overcooked games are fun for this, and need some good communication to do well at. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is great too, I assume the PS4 version can be played on PS5 too.

It Takes Two is the new game from that studio. I really enjoyed A Way Out but I think It Takes Two is better.
