Until now, the PC is considered the best platform for gaming. Although consoles are also popular.

However, what to play in 2018 on PC? . And nothing new is known yet. Here are the top best masterpieces from the developers.

Modern games are real masterpieces with excellent graphics, thoughtful gameplay and a wonderful plot.

Earlier game industry could not please the user with variety. But now everything has changed.

The gamer has a huge selection of games for all occasions: MMOs, simulators and other genres.

Several very interesting things are planned for release in 2018. Players will definitely like them.

It is worth noting that among the new products of 2018 there are also continuations of fairly well-known franchises. And some famous developers released their first toy. Be that as it may, this year's list of games allows us to hope that we won't have to die of boredom.

Contents:

Far Cry 5

The long-awaited continuation of the franchise about survival in wildlife. However, in the fifth part, nature turned out to be not completely wild.

The developers moved the character to the USA. But this America is in no way similar to modern America.

It feels like a nuclear war has just happened. But that's not true. It’s just that religious fanatics got down to business.

They also led the once prosperous country to complete ruin.

The hero will have to fight these “messengers of God” without sparing ammo.

The gameplay in this part is interestingly implemented. There is even multiplayer (in the best traditions of consoles, with split screen). If you don’t have anyone to play with, you can choose an NPC assistant. He can be either a human or a bionic mechanism.

Animals can also be used as assistants. However, the plot imposes its own characteristics on them.

For example, the dog brings not slippers, but weapons. Otherwise, it's the good old FarCry with the capture of control points and a lot of shooting.

Features of FarCry

  • great graphics;
  • interesting story;
  • original gameplay;
  • presence of multiplayer;
  • gorgeous soundtrack;
  • open world;
  • constant pressure;
  • the game is quite difficult to complete;
  • many story and side quests;
  • You can complete tasks in any order you like.

All of the above suggests that FarCry 5 turned out to be very decent. The game will appeal to all action fans. It closely intertwines classic shooter features with some borrowings from RPGs.

Metro: Exodus

Continuation legendary series Metro. The action takes place in the vast expanses of Russia. However, the country is not like itself.

The thing is that events are developing after nuclear wars that completely covered the planet. And Russia received a very noticeable blow.

In the previous parts (2033, Last Light), the main character lived quietly in the St. Petersburg subway, fighting off crowds of mutants and raiders, meeting new survivors and sometimes getting to the surface. However, now his path lies to the east. He is looking for a new refuge.

In this part of the franchise, almost all the action will take place on the surface of the destroyed Earth. Raiders and mutants have become smarter.

Now it's not so easy to fight them. That is why several battle modes were added to the game. One of them is secretive.

The hero will have to travel thousands of kilometers. It is impossible to cover such a distance on your own two feet.

Therefore, a modified steam locomotive, made in the best traditions of the post-apocalyptic genre, is used as a vehicle.

Features of Metro: Exodus

  • excellent graphics;
  • a larger world (compared to previous parts);
  • new battle modes;
  • exciting plot;
  • interesting gameplay;
  • excellent soundtrack;
  • during the game the feeling of oppression does not leave;
  • familiar landscapes (Russia, after all);
  • To complete the game you will have to engage in strategic planning;
  • NPC intelligence has increased noticeably;
  • a huge number of plot twists;
  • redesigned dialogue structure.

If the developers did not lie about everything that should appear in the new part of Metro, then it can definitely be considered the best of the entire series. And the point here is not at all in the graphics. The franchise is finally getting closer to reality. This is good news.

A Way Out

Not quite classic. The plot tells the story of two prisoners who planned a daring escape from prison.

The peculiarity of the toy is that there is no single-player mode at all. Only two people will have to go through this masterpiece.

The screen is divided into two parts (in the best traditions of consoles). Plot A Way Out full of sharp turns.

And in plot dialogues, you can even turn the situation the way the user wants. If one player is having a dialogue, the second can easily intervene in it. Original solution.

To successfully complete the game you will have to plan everything down to the smallest detail.

Strategic planning is a key feature of the toy. If you just run and shoot, it won't lead to anything good.

In the game you will have to solve many issues together. And do it very quickly. Otherwise, the cops will quickly shoot the prisoners. Sometimes there are times when there is only one pistol (for example). And you need to decide who will get it. Everything else is in the same spirit.

Features of A Way Out

  • non-standard game mode;
  • wildly twisted plot;
  • wonderful graphics;
  • excellent plot;
  • quick change of game types (secret movement, trash, and so on);
  • great soundtrack;
  • open world;
  • side quests;
  • high difficulty games;
  • constant work in a team;
  • high level artificial intelligence;
  • some tasks are very difficult.

This unusual toy promises to be very high quality and exciting. But the main thing is the co-op mode. This way you will never get tired of the game. There are a lot of possible options for the development of events. And this is what attracts us most to A Way Out.

Tropico 6

The Great El Presidente is back! A unique strategy with RPG elements that has previously won the hearts of millions of gamers.

Here the economy is closely intertwined with the fighting. And this greatly dilutes the gameplay.

In this part of the franchise, the territory of the state is not limited to one island.

The player has a whole archipelago at his disposal. And the dictator must try with all his might so as not to bore his subjects. Otherwise they will “throw him off”.

You can, of course, rule through fear. But this support is the most unreliable. However, the game is more about taking care of the economy rather than fighting. And this distinguishes the strategy from similar toys. They need to be fought. But not in Tropico.

In the sixth part, the graphics have grown noticeably, the gameplay has become more varied. But artificial intelligence has also become much smarter.

Now playing Tropico has become truly interesting. The gamer has an almost real state at his disposal, which can be built the way he wants.

Fig.5. Kingdom Come: Deliverance

A completely new toy, the action of which develops in the medieval Czech Republic (then called Bohemia).

The game is designed in the RPG style, but also has serious simulator features.

It allows gamers to fully immerse themselves in the difficult life of a person from the Middle Ages.

A feature of Kingdom Come: Deliverance is its incredible realism. The locations are based on real-life cities. People also once lived in the vast expanses of Bohemia. Also, the main character is required to eat, drink and wash. Here it is - a raid of simulators.

The plot revolves around the fact that as a result of a noble conspiracy, the hero loses his family.

He enters the army as a simple soldier with the goal of going all the way to the highest ranks and avenging the death of his family.

You can choose another career (blacksmith, diplomat, etc.).

Learning to wield swords, bows, crossbows, axes and other weapons is very difficult. Another sign of realism.

The developers tried to make the graphics as realistic as possible. In this they succeeded.

Features of Kingdom Come: Deliverance

  • realistic graphics;
  • thoughtful physics;
  • a plot calculated to the smallest detail;
  • addictive gameplay;
  • atmospheric soundtrack;
  • huge game world;
  • a large number of main and side quests;
  • high difficulty of the game;
  • possibility of choice of development;
  • classical experience system;
  • unsurpassed realism;
  • Players are required to think strategically.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the most realistic RPG that currently exists. If the user wants to completely immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages (with all its cute features), then this toy will help achieve the goal.

The world of games is primarily created for entertainment. Today you can choose a game to suit every taste and color. However, the question often arises: what to play on PC? Not all games will leave a positive impression and emotions due to their low quality/non-uniqueness. But at least 5 games in each genre stand out for their graphics, gameplay or original plot. They were remembered by critics and ordinary players, and left their mark on gaming history, and the question “What to play on PC” disappears when they are launched. We invite you to check out the new and outstanding games that are worth playing on PC.

Of course, this list is not complete, and it does not take into account other outstanding projects that you can probably remember yourself. Perhaps your opinion will be different in some places, however, these games were positively assessed by the gaming community. In our opinion, these are some of the most vibrant and high-quality games worth playing on PC. The variety of genres will help anyone make their choice.

When adults gather, it is mistakenly believed that they have nothing to do except talk and feast. This is wrong! There are many fun games, which will allow you to spend interesting and unusual time in company, laugh and relax. All games are designed for a company of 6 people or more. They can be played on a college camping trip, at a party or at someone's birthday.

Many games for a company do not require special preparation and props

Conversation games

  • Understand me. The company is divided into male-female pairs. You can come up with a theme yourself, for example, “Maternity hospital”. The point of the game: the “husband” asks questions about the child out loud, and the “wife” tries to answer them with gestures. The main thing is to ask unusual questions and see what gestures the “wife” will respond with.
  • Associations. The company sits in a circle. Someone starts: whispering any word into his neighbor’s ear. He, without hesitation, speaks into the ear of the next participant his association for this word. The next one is his own association, and so on until the word-association returns to the one who started the game. I wonder what the original word will be transformed into!
  • Who am I? All participants wear a paper ribbon on their forehead with the name of the movie star written on it. All participants see what is written on the foreheads of others, but do not know what is written on theirs. You need to take turns asking others questions that will help you understand what is written on your forehead. For example: “Am I a man?”, “Did I act with Tom Cruise?”, “Did I win an Oscar?” You can write the names of the animals - then the questions will be appropriate: “Do I live at the North Pole?”, “Am I a herbivore?” They play until the last pair. The loser buys everyone beer or ice cream.
  • Crocodile. Someone from the company says the name of a popular film in the ear of another participant, and he shows it with gestures to the whole company. The company's task is to guess this name. If the name consists of several words, then you can write down the guessed words so as not to forget. Of course, if you wish, you can wish for any words, not just movies.
  • “In my pants.” Any headlines are cut out from the press (magazines, newspapers). Their meaning is unimportant. They are then folded into a large envelope. Each participant takes out one headline and reads it aloud after the phrase “It’s in my pants...”. It sounds very funny - especially if it turns out something like “In my pants... there was a competition for the largest cucumber grown.”

Games with props

Target

All participants are given blank sheets of paper and pens (pencils). On the sheet you need to draw a large circle, inside of which there are 4 more circles, to make a target of five circles. You need to put a point in the middle and draw lines crosswise through it, so that the result is 4 sectors.

Participants must write: in the first circle from the center - the letters P, P, S, L, one in each sector. In the second circle - numbers from 1 to 4 in any order, in the third - one name each (animal, bird, fish, insect). The fourth contains 4 adjectives (funny: fat, drunk, stupid, lying around, etc.). In the fifth - 4 any proverbs or sayings.

Games with props are not suitable for travel, but are ideal for parties.

Now we collect all the targets and read (with attribution). The letters in the center of the circle mean: P - work, P - bed, S - family, L - love. The numbers mean where each participant ranks in work, family, bed and love. Animal and adjective - who the participant is in a given area of ​​​​life. For example: Sasha is a “greedy jackal” at work, a “fat arctic fox” in bed, and so on.

Proverbs are a person’s motto in work, family, bed and love. It may turn out, for example, that “In Sasha’s bed the motto is “Without a greeting there is no answer,” and in the family the motto is “No matter how much you feed the wolf, he looks into the forest.” If playing with targets is not enough and you want to laugh more, try one of the following games!

  • Get an apple. The team is divided into male-female pairs. A couple is selected to participate in the competition. A rope is stretched at a level of 2 m from the floor. On it, at the level of an adult’s mouth, a large apple is suspended by its tail. The chosen pair must eat it without using their hands. Whichever pair ate the entire apple was the winner.
  • Transfusions. Two people from the company play. Take two bottles (one of them is empty). You need to draw water with a straw (you can use juice, mineral water or beer) from one bottle and pour into another. Whoever does it faster is the winner. True, there is a chance that someone will drink it all and accept their defeat.
  • Floating apple. Here two from the company participate in the competition. Apples are thrown into a large bowl of water. The participants' hands are folded behind their backs. You need to grab the apple with your teeth and remove it from the water. Whoever does this first wins.
  • Mummy. Participants are divided into two teams. One of the players on each team is a “mummy”. The essence of the game: the team must wrap their “mummy” as quickly as possible. Regular toilet paper is used as bandages. Second part of the game: unwind the mummy by winding the paper back into a roll. Fun guaranteed!

If you don't have a twister, you can choose any other outdoor game!

Active games

  • Swamp. Cool old game. The company is divided into teams, but two people can participate. The players receive two cards each (you can take regular sheets of paper). Task: these cardboard boxes are “bumps”, and you should move along them from one to another in order to cross the “swamp” (room, corridor) as quickly as possible. “Drowned in the Swamp” fulfills the collective’s wish.
  • Ball battle. Participants are divided into two teams of equal size. Each participant ties an inflated balloon to his leg with a thread. You can buy balls of the same color for each team. The longer the thread, the better. The balls must be on the floor. On command, you need to destroy your opponents' balls by stepping on them with your feet, and at the same time not allow them to step on your own ball. The owner of the burst ball leaves the game. The winner is the team whose ball will be the last one to survive on the “battlefield”.
  • Oh you horses, my horses! The competition requires two pairs of participants and a room where there are no breakable objects. Each pair is divided into a “horse” and a “rider”. The “rider” sits on the shoulders of the “horse” (usually a thin girl on the shoulders of a muscular guy). A piece of paper with a written word is attached to the “rider’s” back. The other “rider” must read what is written on the opponent’s back and, at the same time, prevent him from reading what is written on his back.
  • Siamese twins. The company is divided into two teams. Two people from each team participate. They are placed sideways to each other. Left leg one participant is tied to the right leg of the other, and their torsos are tied with straps. The result is “Siamese twins”. All actions should be performed at speed. "Siamese twins" work with two different hands (one right, one left), without talking to each other. They must complete various tasks given by the opposing team: sharpen a pencil, tie shoelaces or open a bottle, pour it and drink.

Our site has grown, and many have already become confused. Even the newly added rating column fails to give a clear picture of the game. Therefore, as an experienced cooperative gamer, I will help everyone who does not know what to choose for playing with a friend, and in this article I will give list of the best co-op games with a brief description of friendly gameplay and other important information.

In the past, our editors have already prepared a handy article for you, in which they provided a whole list of cooperative games that you cannot miss. Since 2012...



So, below is a list of games in the format: "Game, year of release (number of players in the co-op) - brief description." If the game cannot be played online for free, this will also be mentioned.

I repeat that list of purely cooperative games, i.e. with co-op, so I will skip games where online battles between players dominate. Also, I won’t mention the completely old stuff.

What you can't miss



You should be ashamed if you haven't played these games with your friends.

In the Action/Shooter genre:


, 2011 (4 players)- a mixture of action, role-playing game with inventory and shooter. It has an interesting plot and upgrade opportunities for players, but due to its simplified physics it is often .
, 2011 (2) - an arcade game in the style, but with co-op. A gigantic array of all kinds of weapons, a lot of humor and cynicism, every second explosions and debauchery make the game a fun thing.
, 2009 (2) - an exemplary cooperative game, designed for assistance, where two players have to truly survive as a team, the game contains a lot of team actions, and sometimes you can’t even open the door without a partner. What can we say about the crowds of zombies and bosses, for which all your ingenuity will come in handy.
, 2009 (4) - a unique game. In fact, an attempt to cross shooters, but in the end it turned out to be an excellent hurricane action game with a million guns, pleasant surprises, bosses and a cool plot. There are 4 complementary classes available, but the headshot skill still has the greatest value.
, 2009 (4 co-op) is an internationally recognized cooperative shooter, where team play is needed more than ever, because you need to shoot hundreds of zombies, kill stronger and smarter mutants who constantly set traps, and there is no way to survive alone. Also here you can play as a zombie and fight against “survivors”, and there is also a lot of cooperative action and scope for tactics.
, 2009 (6) - at first glance similar to the game above, but the gameplay is very different. The zombies here are tougher and stronger, but slower. There are highly specialized classes of players.
and , 2009/2011 (2) - here for two players there are unique “special operations” and survival modes with increasing difficulty, it’s very fun and interesting, and latest maps you will have to work hard and become very sophisticated in killing armored juggernauts.
, 2008 (4) - excellent co-op for all story missions, as well as the legendary Zombie mode, when you have to fight off the waves and block all the passages with boards, getting more powerful weapon with every wave.
It’s a pity that in the new COD series there is no such mode, and there are no more than 2 people there....
, 2011 (2) - a pleasant cooperative game for connoisseurs. One slows down time and shoots, the other throws enemies into the air and possesses them; it’s definitely worth going through with a friend. In addition, there is an excellent survival mode, reminiscent of the “zombie” mode in the game above.

2011 (16) - a fun arcade shooter with a sea of ​​blood, high-speed gameplay and pretty cool heroes. It’s difficult to say which part is best to play; all games in the series (FE, ) have co-op with whirlwind gameplay (but part 3 can only be played for a fee).
Tom Clancys Splinter Cell- and, 2005/2010 (2/4) - unsurpassed secret agent simulators, where you need to sneak into the enemy base as unnoticed as possible and attack from the inside, cutting out light bulbs, hacking systems, etc.
and , 2007/2008 (4/16) - better cooperative ones tactical shooters, in Vegas there will be 2 action games and there will be more coolness. Stun grenades, motion sensors, cameras and everything in order to achieve the goal.
, 2007 (2) - a classic “console” shooter with a 2-3 person view, the game was actually created for joint passage and it would be stupid for all connoisseurs of the genre to miss it.
and , 2007/2010 (2) - interesting, but very short games, where players will have to play as crazy bandits with a very difficult fate, get ready for the maximum obscene language and shocking scenes.
, 2011 (4) - a medium-sized game that surprises with its narrow focus and active gameplay. There is not a single game so tailored to team bank robbery and gang warfare. (with a free launch, not everything is smooth, but on Steam the game costs only 300 rubles)
, 2007 (4) - a game whose engine is used in hundreds of games. The co-op here is made as a pass-through and training before online battles, but thanks to its speed of gameplay and unique setting, it deserves attention and passing with a friend.
- an excellent cooperative shooter. The joint campaign is so well developed that even the cutscenes and the beginning of missions are different for pairs of players, a long plot, action, big bosses. The game is criticized for the endless stupidity of the AI ​​and its console nature.



There are almost no cooperative races in nature. Almost the only game where there are friendly modes and hints of co-op is (2010, 4-20 players) (although the game didn’t really catch on on PC, because it’s not very convenient to aim on the keyboard).

Strategies:


There are also only a few cooperative strategies. Should attract attention:
, 2008 (2) - co-op campaign for two players, interesting game in itself, but many may be put off by a certain “cartoonishness” and excessive cynicism.
Other popular strategies, for example, the series, can be played in battle mode, setting the mode, for example, “2 players against 4 bots”, which can be a fun activity and test yourself for a long time.

Arcade:


, 2011 (3) - a recently released platformer (with a side view). A very nice, rich and bright picture, as well as puzzles for three players, pushed the game into the top cooperative arcade games for PC.
, 2011 (4) - a parody game from a team of students, but with very high-quality physics and realism of magic (water freezes and also extinguishes fire, etc.), as well as a large scope for combining elements. (stone+fire - fireball, fire+dark energy - powerful laser, etc.)


Diablo 3 these games will lose relevance :)

Sandboxes:


, 2011 (2) - leader in the puzzle/sandbox/puzzle genre. Exciting cooperative tasks, cute robots, nice graphics and physics, as well as thousands of fan cards - these are the main trump cards of the game.
, 2009 (35) - a sandbox, a “miner simulator”, as many joke. The main goal of the game is really to dig and extract valuable resources, as well as survive and fight the darkness. But what players do with these materials (huge spaceships, replicas of cities, interactive castles with traps) has made the game very popular and fun for friends. With a group of like-minded people you can build whatever you want, realize your childhood dreams and much more.
, 2011 (255) - during the first hours of the game, this is a complete analogue of the above-mentioned game, only in a 2D (flat) dimension. But then suddenly a jungle appears, a damned world, hell, a bunch of weapons, the ability to craft machine guns and lightsabers... in short, wild action begins, as well as huge bosses, from which valuable materials and equipment fall.


If I missed any game and touched your cooperative feelings, then be sure to write a comment and I will add to the article!

P.S. I will point this article out to everyone who doesn’t know what to play, because the PM is filled every day. Therefore, help make an exemplary article!
P.S. 2. If anyone asks about the logic of the order of the games, I will say - in order of interest and compulsory completion, but purely by eye and in my opinion, so don’t be too picky.
