Ordinary people tell stories about how they go to work, sit with friends in cafes and sleep during breaks. To live brighter and have more cool stories in your arsenal about how you rescued princesses from the clutches of dragons, saved the world from the Forces of Evil and stole the cars of civilians in your spare time, do the right thing - play games.
Important point: this is not the top generally recognized best games, these are toys recent years, in which we, 2x2 employees, spent more than one night and which we would recommend to everyone. Trust us, we will not give bad advice.
The Witcher 3. Wild Hunt
Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE
Geralt, a specialist in the destruction of monsters, travels through a fantasy world in search of the girl Ciri, who can stop the coming of the Wild Hunt (just accept the fact that it is bad and scary). Walks through fields and forests, kills griffons, sleeps with beauties and jokes during breaks. Both the reaper and the trumpet player.Every part of The Witcher is obscenely good, and with each subsequent toy in the series everything only gets better. This is even unfair to competitors, who a priori should be very ashamed of how they are compared to The Witcher. "Wild Hunt" is super-elaborate quests, many of which have an unreal cool story behind them. All completed quests and decisions affect the ending of the game, which is cool and motivating. Combat system here I have received many advantages since the second part, Signs have gained in usefulness, the world is detailed and open as much as possible.
Even those who just love cool novels will like it. And oh my, how many localization gave rise to the most epic coubs!
Journey
Platforms: PS3, PS4
You are a mysterious someone, your goal is to get to a very distant mountain. The plot synopsis is more than fully described by this, but you can’t even imagine what a magical and unusual gaming experience is hidden behind it. This is very meditative and beautiful game- music, graphics, landscapes - in which you will need to go through very picturesque locations.
Everything here is truly unusual and unusual. No map, no tips, no multiplayer as such, but! During your journey, you can meet another player and move with him to that same mountain. You know absolutely nothing about your companion - except that he is a living person. You have no means of communication other than some sort of screaming, and only at the end, after completing the Journey, do you see your companion's name in the credits. A very unusual and cool gaming experience.
Grand Theft Auto V
There's no point in advertising GTA. Every Pokemon has known about the delights of this world since the days of Vice City. But the fifth part (aka the 15th game in the series) is something. Oh my God, Rockstar killed 266! millions! dollars! into game development! There are 3 main characters here with well-developed characters, whose stories are intertwined. The final goal is to rob the US Federal Storage, taking out more than 200 million dollars in bags and pockets. Oh my!
GTA V has maximum freedom: an open dynamic world, the ability to switch between heroes at any time and as many as 3 endings to the main storyline. Steal, go to strip clubs, steal cars, love, watch TV, do yoga, play Tamagotchi, take selfies, smuggle contraband! Everything is possible here.
And breaking news for those who have slept in a hole in recent years: GTA V finally has multiplayer. Now you can do the same thing online with your gang, and having friends is not at all necessary. But be prepared for a Game of Thrones style death - very, very sudden.
Deponia The Complete Journey
Platforms: PC
Deponia is a cool humorous quest that improves logic and erudition. An ideal option for those who can’t stand shooting games and consider ordinary quests primitive and boring. The plot of the quest is that Rufus, tired of life on a small planet littered with garbage, makes ridiculous escape plans one after another.
You don’t need a Friend level IQ to pass, don’t be alarmed, but The puzzles and plot are really cool, and the solutions are not always obvious. Deponia The Complete Journey is one of the best representatives in its genre. The only thing is to be prepared for the fact that localization killed a good half of the jokes, so if English allows, go in the original.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360, PS4, XBOX ONE
A fabulous cooperative puzzle adventure with not the most intricate plot, but a very powerful moral underpinning. There are two brothers whose mother died a long time ago, and then suddenly their father became very ill. The only thing that can save him is the sap of a huge tree that grows behind mountains, forests, fields and generally very far away. A strong and dramatic story that the creators managed to tell without using words (at least humanly understandable) at all.
There is no cooperative as such here: you will play as both brothers at the same time(get your joysticks ready, it will be hard without them). At first, the brain will refuse to understand how this is even possible, but over time it will get involved and even begin to enjoy such a process. The gameplay is original and intuitive: only two buttons to interact with the outside world, and two sticks to control the brothers.
There is nothing here besides the main storyline, and it goes through quite quickly - in about 4 hours. All scenes and tasks are very original and atmospheric, there are no repeating mechanics, but there are magnificent colorful landscapes. The story itself is cruel and bloody in places, but most importantly, very magical and emotionally powerful.
Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE
Team-based online shooter from Blizzard with fantasy art. In the future, the machines have risen after all, as the Terminator promised. But the Overwatch organization was able to overcome the rebel robots. Everything calmed down, the guys from the organization ceased to be needed by humanity, which is why they were forced to go home. But a few years later, crime gained momentum, and Overwatch members had to reunite as a team and take up arms in order to save civilians.
Multiplayer ideal, raised to absolute. Based on the experience of Team Fortress 2, which is played even almost 10 years after its release, it is basically obvious: team shooters live outside of time, like Tsoi, they just have to conquer their audience. Blizzard did not impose its game - the noise around it arose and did not subside from the first days of the beta release. And after the release, the servers, which were designed for something inhuman, crashed. The flow of people wanting to play turned out to be greater than this very “inhuman” thing.
Overwatch is very different characters, each with its own history and skills, a bunch of arenas and modes(3 cards each). Persians do not need leveling or customization, everything is decided only by your personal skills- nothing extra. The gameplay is intuitive and clear, and even your girlfriend will like it due to the drawing: it will stick to the monitor while you create destruction.
Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE
The nuclear boom has given rise to a post-apocalypse. Only those who managed to reach the bunker survived. Everything is either half-destroyed or half-mutated. After 200 years, the hero crawls out of the bunker and goes for a walk through the destroyed world in search of his son, Sean.
Generally recognized as one of the most anticipated projects of 2015 more likely to succeed than not. The locations are well-developed, the enemies are very terrifying, the quests are interesting(although, to be fair, there is also wild boredom like “bring me that thing that’s quietly lying across the road”), the overall plot is gaining momentum, and in the end it turns out that the hero is involved in some wild story. For fans of the original duology it will cause pain and a burning sensation below the back, but for everyone else it will be very playable.
Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE
Hipster adventure movie quest, Very cool interactive everyday life, in which you live the life of a girl student, Max. At a critical moment, the gentle creature discovers the ability to rewind time and correct mistakes. At first, the skill is used mainly for everyday student trifles, but as the action progresses, it turns out that the city of Max is facing an apocalypse, and it would be good to prevent it.
The game was released as a series, episode by episode, and if the first parts are similar to a girl's series with a teenage drama, then somewhere in the middle the suffering fades into the background, and the main thing becomes The hellish mystery of the disappearance of a girl in the style of "Twin Peaks". Every decision and action has its fruits and sooner or later it will definitely come back to haunt you. Included - cool soundtrack, well-developed detective plot, realism with a pleasant dose of mysticism. The disappointing thing, however, is that the final choice is the same for everyone and does not depend on your previously made decisions.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Platforms: PS4
The main character Nathan and his wife bought a house, chose curtains to match the color of the sofas and happily live a quiet life until Nathan’s older brother, who was considered dead for many years, turns up. Oh, yes: in the previous parts of the game, Nathan was a treasure hunter. Little has changed here: suddenly the living brother says that there is a treasure waiting in Madagascar, and the guys go in search of the mythical Libertalia.
Impossible beautiful exclusive for Sonya, which forced many stubborn PC people to get a console. "A Thief's End" is elaborate third-person action with puzzles, shootouts(there are more weapons in the arsenal, and shootouts are approaching the title of ideal), action scenes at the level of Hollywood action films and the ability to choose answers in dialogues. But be prepared for a very poor Russian localization.
Need for Speed (2015)
Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE
There is no point in talking about the legendary Need races for Speed- they earned their name back in the distant 2000s. This is not just a game, this is a real era. The 2015 restart has everything that the mutated series managed to lose in the last parts: advanced car tuning, a brave new open world, and police racing.
At first it seems that restarting the series is not the idea of the creators, but of PR people who wanted more gold from an already obsolete product. But in reality it turns out that the game is from the 15th year absorbed all the best from the previous parts, and the output was the very essence of Need for Speed. A must for anyone who has ever felt the rush of adrenaline behind a keyboard, joystick or a real steering wheel.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX ONE
Welcome to the interactive Game of Thrones. You are the Dragonborn who conveniently arrives in the province of Skyrim just when he is needed most. The world is threatened with death from dragons, and you need to overcome a lot of difficulties to stop the fire breathers and their lord Alduin.
The world here is also infinitely open, the player can do whatever he wants. The graphics are wildly beautiful and cause multiple aesthetic orgasms. Plus complete creative freedom: you can start a family, you can become a thief, a murderer, a noble knight - or even a princess. Eat spectacular battles, the ability to upgrade certain attacks and skills. The good thing about the plot is that certain RPG mechanisms generate their own stories, which is original and addictive.
The most honest Skyrim trailer ever.
Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360
Everything here is as gloomy as in the horror stories about “a black, black street in a black, black city.” Humans have been decimated by a disease that turns everyone into undead, and main character goes on a long trip to restore white balance and stop the approaching Age of Darkness. And so you walk around the world, completing quests and fighting enemy creatures.
It won't be fun or easy - only difficulty level 180 and fear, only hardcore. Remember "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on Dandy, in which, when you died, you found yourself at the very beginning? It's about the same here, but lighter. Every creature taller than half a meter kills you in two spits, and each death throws you back strongly, taking away the accumulated experience. But at least not to the beginning.
builds character and creates magic with nervous system , and against the backdrop of a clear trend towards simplifying games, it is delightful and especially valuable. A must for those who really like to overcome difficulties.
Tomb Raider (2013)
Platforms: PC, MAC, PS3, XBOX 360
Tomb Raider (2013) is a prequel to the very first game in the series. Here Lara famously transforms from an archaeological university graduate into a fierce sex symbol for all gamers. In the story, Lara and her expedition are looking for a lost civilization, but a terrible storm destroys the ship, and then throws all the survivors onto the shore of a seemingly uninhabited island.
When Crystal Dynamics announced that it was planning to... bring gaming's most famous woman up to date, the world held its breath: it’s clear that restarts are a terrible thing. But in the end it turned out very well: a perfectly executed third-person combat system, enjoyable gameplay and a realistic system for acquiring survival skills. Is it true, brain-racking puzzles have gone into oblivion, for which old Lara was so famous. But this is compensated by a large number of advantages - take at least a good competitive multiplayer system and Lara’s breasts, which retained their firmness.
Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE, ANDROID, IOS
Dandy's dead joysticks and childhood will never go away, but time passes. In recent years, “Mortal” has been gaining momentum and evolving, and in the “top ten” this is felt especially powerfully: the bones crunch here as loudly as ever. For example, Sonya and Johnny Cage had children who inherited their parents’ love for blood and also rip out the insides of everyone they come across. For example, in the 10th part, you can destroy, ugh, a father’s manhood with the hands of his own daughter.
New heroes like Predator, and also those who returned from vacation (for example, Tanya from part 4). In general, ideal k-k-combo pairs for fights. And there’s more variety: Now you can choose priorities in battle for each hero. From controversial points, an opportunity arose... buy Fatality. The archaic keystroke system still works, but now you can get away with it simply by paying.

It’s also known as “Watch Dog”, “Dog Watch” and how else this name has not been joked about. A guy in a fashionable cap is engaged in magical hacking - he hacks the phones of rich and respected people using Bluetooth. At one party, he is fired upon and a chase begins, during which the hero’s niece dies in an accident. And he decides to become an avenger.
Basic the plot is not that wow, not particularly memorable or stands out in any way. But there are funny dialogues and jokes that smooth out the situation. There is complete beauty and detail all around, Although There are problems with physics and textures. There will be many plot Easter eggs, games of hide and seek, action, shooting, racing and good assignments outside the main storyline.
True, we still didn’t understand What do dogs have to do with all this?.
Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360
Mix of adventure-shooter-RPG first-person, in which you play as a guy whose vacation hasn't gone according to plan. Jason Brody (this is you, meet me) comes with friends to an exotic island, where they hang out, have fun, take selfies, jump with parachutes, until one day they are captured by sadistic pirates. Jason manages to escape, and he is fired up with a desire to take terrible revenge.
A cool open world with frighteningly realistic graphics and a plot that you won't want to tear yourself away from.. Players will need to storm pirate territory, hunt all kinds of creatures and evolve from a weakling into a tough guy who saved his friends and matured during the time you spent with him. A special treat for fans of "Lost".

A shooter that captures the imagination and amazes it to the deepest depths. Private detective Booker receives an order: to get to a flying city, whose location is not really known, and rescue a girl from there. Then it turns out that some kind of absolute horror is happening in the world and a destructive war is about to break out.
The plot setups are quite classic- a princess in a tower, a hero with a dark past, the world is on the verge of disaster. But all this is summed up in such a way that the result is something completely new.. And although the game world is fictional, you still immerse yourself in it and believe: atmosphere and detail take their toll. Here's what's cool Every little detail is important to the plot, but only. Spectacular fights for real complicated story, told in a movie-like shooter form.
Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX 360, IOS
Something very terrible happened in the world: everything fell apart into small pieces, and the only place that survived was the Bastion. The blond guy, whom you have to play for, wakes up in an incomprehensible place and is going to go towards this very Bastion, where he finds out that the fortress has been destroyed, and in order to restore it (and the world) and destroy the universal Evil, you will have to make a lot of effort than you and get busy.
A very nice and detailed adventure game, in which it is not immediately clear what WTF is going on here . You travel to different locations, fight local bosses and difficulties, then move back to Bastion, where you choose what weapons you will take and what potions you will throw in before your trip. Towards the middle you are already getting ready strategically choose the right equipment, which adds a decent amount of advantages to the game’s interestingness.
Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 460, PS4
Fantasy adventure, which at first glance is very similar to Bastion (the same developer, after all), but in fact it is something completely different. You will have to play as the red-haired singer Red, whose life was recently attempted and who is determined to fiercely take revenge for this. On her side is a huge talking sword, Transistor, in which the consciousness of the unknown person who saved Red’s life is placed.
Outwardly, everything is similar to Bastion: a third-person action RPG in which you need to travel through a beautiful fantasy world, fight and do all sorts of little things. But the gameplay has become deeper since the studio's first game, the story is more personal, and the atmosphere is atmospheric. If you give free rein to whining, you can say about Monotonous battles and fairly short game duration.
Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360
A high-quality puzzle experiment with fairly complex puzzles- for logically thinking masochists who like to test their wits and cannot imagine life without difficulties. The plot is simple: main character, Chell, wakes up in one of the chambers of the highly scientific Aperture laboratory and attempts to escape. She has a portal gun at her disposal, with which she can move herself and other objects.
It won't be too difficult at first, but that's just the beginning.: further even primitive things will become confusing, and an empty room will turn into a quest. Extremely good localization and a lot of high-quality humor. It is bound to appeal to those who love brainstorming games and want to get the maximum profit from games.
Hello tramps! Below is a selection of the best co-op games for both two and multiple players. If you have suggestions for other games, write in the comments.
Diablo series
Release date: 1996-2012
A trilogy of games in the action/RPG genre, made in the style of dark fantasy and telling about the confrontation between people (descendants of the nephalems) and the embodiments of evil, the main one of which is the Lord of Terror - Diablo. The series is distinguished by the presence of several characters with their own unique abilities, a huge number of monsters that are reborn every time you start the game, as well as randomly generated locations. The advantages of these games should also include the possibility of cooperative play. The game on the Nesham website is included in the tops: ,
The series is currently the most successful campaign franchise Blizzard Entertainment. The release of each part was a real event for the gaming community. The series consists of three main games: Diablo (1996), Diablo II (2000) and Diablo III(2012). Each of the games also came with an expansion pack that added additional levels and features to the game. The third part has co-op and multiplayer, which allows you to play the game together.
Half-Life 1 and 2
Release date: the first - 1998, the second - 2004.
A series of sci-fi first-person shooters that tell us the story of theoretical physicist Gordon Freeman, who is also the only one who can save the Earth from aliens. The games in the series are almost icons of the genre, largely due to the fascinating gameplay, thoughtful level design and unusual plot presentation. In addition, the engine of the second part of the Source game (of course, significantly improved) is even today actively used by game makers to create their projects.
Despite the fact that every game in the Half-Life series is a single-player game, for a certain time Valve has been giving out a modification for co-op absolutely free of charge. In fact, the game becomes reoriented towards two players, receives new puzzles and a number of cooperative opportunities.
Serious Sam series
Release date: 2001-2011
Genre: First Person Shooter
A series of first-person shooters that stand out from many similar games with their whirlwind gameplay, when the player needs to shoot back from a huge number of opponents, using an equally huge arsenal of weapons. Total enemies per game can reach several thousand! Battles are cleverly diluted with simple puzzles and searching for keys, as well as jumping on platforms, dodging spikes, etc.
Another feature of this series is the possibility of cooperative completion of levels. Players liked the opportunity to smash various monsters to pieces together with a partner. Add a bit of absurd humor and an original storytelling style, and it becomes immediately clear why Serious Sam is very popular among players even today.
Garry's Mod
Release date: 2004
Genre: First person shooter,
A kind of physical “sandbox” that allows you to manipulate various objects independently or together with friends and conduct experiments with the physics of the Source game engine. Using this modification, you can, for example, connect, copy, change sizes or textures, and perform other actions with various game objects based on the Source engine. In addition, in addition to the “sandbox” mode, the modification has several fun online game modes.
It is worth noting that for the modification to work, players will need any game on the Source engine. In this case, the objects and characters of Half-Life 2 will immediately become available to the player, because they are included in the main distribution of the engine. Other games will allow you to use their content in the sandbox.
Samurai Warriors 2
Release date: 2006
Genre: Third person action,

In addition to the standard campaign, the game has a survival mode, and also features the ability to play together.
The lion's share of the time we will rush around different ends of the map, destroying ordinary opponents and officers in batches. For defeating enemies we receive gold and experience. The first is used to purchase equipment and some abilities, the second is used to improve your characteristics. Improved characters make more powerful combos and can use their super attack more often.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Release date: 2007
Genre: First person shooter,
A first-person shooter dedicated, as you might guess, modern warfare. The game is distinguished by high-quality, precise gameplay, an excellent plot and its competent presentation. The first game in the Modern Warfare subseries, in which the developers for the first time decided to move away from World War II. The project was highly appreciated by both critics and players. The excellent multiplayer mode played a significant role in this.
In multiplayer, players have access to several modes, in particular: Free play (every man for himself), Team battle, Championship (capture flags), Headquarters (capture and hold headquarters), Sabotage (planting a bomb and protecting your base from it), Find and destroy (the same thing, only one team must plant the bomb, the second must prevent this from happening). In subsequent parts of the subseries, modes for cooperative play were also implemented.
Gears of War series

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
Release date: 2007
Genre: Third person shooter,
A third-person action game based on the interaction of two completely different characters. The game is designed primarily for cooperative play, and when playing solo, your partner will be controlled artificial intelligence. The game focuses heavily on the story and gunplay, in which the player can hide behind various objects and shoot blindly. The levels are fairly linear, but there is often the possibility of a tactical bypass.
Features of the game also include the ability to exchange weapons with allies, as well as the fact that the player almost never has to look for ammunition, since a partner can always give out a small portion of the necessary ammunition. In addition to the story campaign, the game also has a network mode, where players need to steal as much money as possible from the bank.
Left for Dead
Release date: the first - 2008, the second - 2009.
Genre: First person shooter, survival horror
A cooperative first-person shooter with elements of survival horror, in which the player, in the company of three other friends, has to go through various levels filled with a huge amount of all kinds of “dead stuff”. If the player runs alone, the rest of the characters will be played by AI. The main feature of the game is the presence of a so-called “director”, who adjusts the gameplay depending on the actions of the players, making each playthrough unique.
The project received many positive reviews, as well as a number of significant awards, largely due to its unique gameplay, with an emphasis on team action, as well as a gloomy atmosphere of horror and despair. On November 17, 2009, the second part was released, which subsequently added maps and campaigns of the first part. It is worth noting that a lot of people still play the game.
Resident Evil 5 and 6
Release date: 1996-2017
Genre: Third person shooter, zombies,
Two parts of the famous game series, made in the genre of third-person shooters, in which the player, in the company of a partner (controlled by a second player or artificial intelligence), goes through all sorts of missions filled with various mutants and zombies. The games are divided into small chapters, often with a mandatory boss at the end. Between chapters, the player can purchase equipment or improve existing ones.
The main difference between the sixth part and the fifth is the presence of as many as four story campaigns, the events of which take place in parallel with each other and often intersect at key points. Moreover, each of the campaigns is slightly different in gameplay. Thus, the campaign for Leon and Helena is more similar to the classic Resident Evil, and the campaign for Chris and Pierce is reminiscent of the fifth part of the franchise.
Killing Floor 1 and 2
Release date: P first - 2005, second - 2015.
Genre: First person shooter, zombies
A duology of games in the genre of a cooperative first-person shooter with elements of survival horror, in which six people on one of the maps must destroy many mutants and then defeat a powerful boss in the end. Depending on the game settings, the boss appears after the 4th, 7th or 10th wave of monsters. Between waves, players can purchase weapons and equipment from the store (money is earned by killing mutants). There is also a small RPG element here. In particular, you can improve your character’s perks for the experience gained in battles.
Both parts of the game were warmly received by the gaming community. Many noted the similarity of this project with the game Left 4 Dead, but at the same time emphasized that the Killing Floor franchise is not without its own uniqueness and is definitely capable of leaving a positive impression.
Trine 1-3
Release date: 2009-2015
A trilogy that combines genres such as 2D fantasy platformer, RPG and puzzle. The main feature of the games in the series is the ability to complete levels as three different characters at once, switching between them at the right time. Each of the characters has their own unique skills that will be necessary for the player at different stages of the levels.
The locations are built in such a way that sooner or later the player has to take control of one or another character. For example, a knight can fight with opponents and use a shield to protect the team from enemy projectiles. The thief uses a bow and arrow, as well as a grappling hook. The magician has the ability to create objects and move them in space. The games in the series also include co-op for 3 people and special levels for playing together.
Borderlands 1 and 2
Release date: the first - 2009, the second - 2012.
Two parts of a cooperative first-person shooter with RPG elements, in which 1 or 2 players go through a story campaign, completing main and secondary NPC tasks. The game has several playable characters with their own unique skills, many quests (which is more typical for MMORPGs) and a lot of all kinds of loot (weapons, upgrade modules, etc.).
The game has an interesting feature - procedurally generated weapons and items that can receive improved firepower or, for example, effects such as setting the enemy on fire. The same system is used to create special enemies that players encounter along the way. It is also worth noting the unique hand-drawn style, which has become a kind of calling card of the series.
Lost Planet 2 and 3
Release date: 2006-2013
Genre: Third person shooter about aliens,
Two parts of the famous third-person shooter, which partly copy the gameplay of the first game in the series. Specifically, we have mechanized armor, extreme terrain, and huge boss battles. There is also an RPG element here. The main difference between the second and third parts of the series is the presence of co-op, thanks to which players up to four people can go through the story campaign.
In addition to the story campaign and co-op, the games in the series have several multiplayer modes, which also feature deeper character customization, including a wide selection of models of the face, legs, torso, etc. In general, the projects received mostly positive reviews, in which players noted excellent multiplayer content and original monster designs.
Magicka 1 and 2
Release date: the first - 2011, the second - 2015.
Genre: Arcade, fantasy, magic
A fun action-adventures focused on co-op. In both parts of the series, the player, in the role of one of the wizards, in the company of his friends (up to 4 players), must go through all kinds of levels in order to stop the “Dark Evil”. The series amazes with a huge number of all kinds of magical combinations, as well as absurd situations that arise as it progresses. The degree of absurdity is also increased by the fact that friendly fire is always on here and with some particularly massive spell you can accidentally fry your comrades. Such errors will occur to you often, moreover, the game expects and demands them from you!
In general, the whole point of the series is in the cheerful co-op, which is equipped with a huge amount of humor. The games also contain references to everything possible, various secrets and artifacts, as well as a flexible spell system based on the combination of various elements (which often gives unpredictable and sometimes even funny results).
Terraria
Release date: 2011
Genre: Arcade, adventure, RPG, sandbox,
An adventure indie sandbox in which the player can explore the world, mine resources, create various objects and structures, fight monsters, and all this in a huge randomly generated 2D location. At the same time, the location has a clear zoning, and some types of monsters or resources can only be found in a certain zone. The variety of items, equipment and enemies in the game is very large, in particular, the number of items alone here exceeds 2000!
With one of the patches, co-op was added to the game, as well as “expert mode”. In the co-op mode, several people can now explore the world at once, and the “expert mode” significantly complicates the game, in particular, the mobs become stronger, and the dropped loot is much less than in normal modes.
Portal 2
Release date: 2011
Genre: First person puzzle
The second part of the famous “portal” puzzle with a first-person view, which develops and improves the gameplay of the first part. The gameplay here is also built around a special device that allows you to create portals in space and instantly move to the right place. In addition to moving the player directly, the portal gun also helps move various objects (for example, companion cubes or turrets). The game is among the top games with
Among the many gameplay innovations in Portal 2, it is worth noting the presence of a cooperative mode, which allows you to complete levels in the company of another player. Moreover, each player can use both their own portals and those of their partner (although there is no connection between all four portals in the game). Most co-op puzzles also rely on players interacting with various elements (often using portals), but co-op is much more complex than solo play.
Lord of the Rings: War in the North

The project does not repeat the hackneyed plots of the original trilogy, but highlights events unfolding parallel to the main plot of the books, thereby expanding the LotR universe.
There are three characters in the game, each of whom has their own abilities and will be much better at something than the others (for example, the elf specializes in healing the team and raising morale, and the dwarf is good for frontal attacks and withstanding a large amount of damage). On their way, the heroes will meet many different monsters, and at the end of each level they will have a boss battle, after which they can get useful loot and level up their character.

Interestingly, the cooperative version of the game has some differences from the single player version. For example, some side quests can only be obtained in co-op.

In addition to the main tasks, the game contains random events, which significantly diversify the gameplay.
The game is designed exclusively for team actions. This is especially well revealed in the division of characters into classes, each of which will be very useful during the passage.

The game features deep interaction with the world. For example, almost all items can be transferred here or tried to be combined with each other.

Miscreated
Release date: 2014
Genre: MMO, first and third person shooter, survival, zombies
A first/third person action game with sandbox and survival horror elements, positioning itself as a global rethinking of DayZ with its own unique features. In general, everything is quite standard for the genre - we have a huge location in which we appear with practically no means of subsistence. There is despondency and devastation all around, caused by the apocalypse, but we must simply survive, getting food, drink, uniforms, weapons, etc.
The game has the possibility of co-op. Surviving with a friend is much more interesting, given that the game world is extremely aggressive. Zombies can appear completely unexpectedly, and aggressive other players cause a lot of trouble. The game is in the open test stage, but it’s good that the developers are constantly improving the game and adding a lot of new content to it.
Depth

There can be up to four divers and two sharks in one round. The arsenal of scuba divers includes all kinds of mines, grenades, underwater pistols, knives, harpoons, tracking systems, turrets, etc. It would seem that with such an arsenal, sharks are in a losing situation. But be that as it may! The game developers have done a good job of balancing the sides, so every fight between humans and a predator will be unique and unpredictable.

In general, everything here is done at a high level. Arrive in an armored vehicle vehicle into the midst of enemies and causing chaos there - an incomparable pleasure. The game contains a lot of beetles and robots, a competent mixture of dynamics and stealth, as well as excellent humor and high-quality graphics.

As the player progresses, he will find himself in the so-called “dark zone,” which is essentially a PVP and PVE zone.

During the game, all characters can be upgraded. In addition, between game sessions you can purchase various items that can help in survival (or vice versa in killing survivors).

Battlefield 1
Release date: 2016
Genre: First person shooter,

The player has four classes to choose from, each with their own set of skills, abilities and weapons. Map battles can include up to 64 players. The game has various locations and a variety of equipment that can be used.
In general, the gameplay is largely traditional for the series, but the developers tried to make everything much more interesting, larger-scale, cooler, which, by the way, they did. The game is captivating from the first minutes, largely thanks to the gameplay, polished to the smallest detail and incredibly beautiful graphics, for which the project received a number of prestigious awards. I’m also glad that the developers release large-scale DLC with enviable frequency.
TheHunter: Call of the Wild
Release date: 2017
Genre: First person shooter, hunting simulator, adventure
A hunter simulator with a first-person view, in which literally everything is wonderful: a huge open world, a wide variety of all kinds of game, colorful graphics and even a cooperative mode for joint hunting. Among the minuses, it is worth noting the not very high-quality optimization of the game, which the developers, hopefully, will correct in subsequent patches.
The first thing I would like to note here is the locations that amaze with their beauty. And although this project is about hunting, there is something to do in the game besides killing animals. So, for example, here you can collect antlers, find notes, photograph local beauties, etc. The game is leisurely and meditative, so the project is very much for everyone, but this is rather not a minus, but rather its feature. It's a little more fun to play with a partner, so co-op is highly recommended, especially if you're new to this genre.
PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS

The game as a whole is very dynamic, and at a certain point it encourages players to active actions through the emergence of the so-called white, blue and red zones. The white zone is safe, in the blue zone players gradually lose health, and the red zone is subject to massive shelling. The white and blue circles get smaller after a certain time, forcing players to move towards the center and fight each other.
Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop
Release date: 2017
Genre: Third person shooter, arcade,
An arcade cooperative shooter in an isometric projection, which contains both the original game and a custom modification with a bunch of changes. The premise is simple - to save the planet, a squad of elite fighters is assembled, the character of which we control. In the original game, the squad consisted of four people, in turn, the modification expanded it to eight. It is worth noting that this add-on is no longer focused on the story campaign, which can be played just fine with four players, but on additional modes that are somewhat reminiscent of “mutations” from the game Left 4 Dead.
The essence of the main game is still to exterminate hordes of aliens in the spirit of the good old Alien Shooter, but again, in the company of your friends, which adds more dynamics to the game and a number of unique cooperative features.
Nine Parchments

As in previous games in the series, the player takes on the role of a Hunter, but now players need to act as a team. Characters do not have skills; they are determined depending on their equipment. In particular, the weapon in the game determines the fighting style and the player’s role in the team, and armor provides various skills that can and should also be selected to suit your playing style. Players need to craft all this (as well as various drinks, traps, etc.) from resources obtained from monsters and resources found at the location.
Deep Rock Galactic

The essence of the game boils down to the following: four dwarves take an order from an intergalactic mining company and go to the desired asteroid in order to extract minerals. Dwarves have a division into specializations with their own unique role in the squad and their own leveling tree: scout, marksman, engineer and driller. Each mission is unique in its own way, because... is generated randomly, including monsters, their numbers and all sorts of “accidents” on the map in the form of earthquakes, a cracking floor, etc.
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'll 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. Possesses interesting story, leveling up opportunities for players, but due to the 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, receiving more powerful weapons with each 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 cooperative play 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 for 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 geared towards 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 walkthrough and training before online battles, but thanks to its speed of gameplay and unique setting, it deserves attention and playing 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 very few cooperative strategies. Should attract attention:
, 2008 (2) - cooperative passage of the campaign for two players, an interesting game in itself, but many may be put off by a certain “cartooniness” and excessive cynicism.
To others popular strategies, for example, you can play the series 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 do players do with these materials (huge spaceships, replicas of cities, interactive castles with traps), 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.
As you understand, friends, today I want to talk to you about exactly those games that everyone should play or at least try! Below I decided to compose a small list of games worth playing. There are many genres. I will not always talk about game series as a whole; in some cases, I will only list one game, the best one. Of course, a description of this case will also be attached, although not a large one, but still. Let's get started already!
Max Payne Series:
[Max Payne, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, Max Payne 3.
]
Let's start, perhaps, with Max, or rather with Max Payne. The first part of the game begins from the moment when Max Payne comes to his home and finds his wife and small child brutally killed. This was done by bandits who obey the drug barons. A feeling of revenge awakens in Max, so strong that he decides alone to go through the dark streets of New York to look for those who ordered the murder of his relatives. The game has a very strong plot. The graphics, of course, are from 2001, so nothing should be surprising. But many who have played and completed this 3rd person shooter will say that it is worthy of attention. By the way: by the way, a film was made based on this game. With the same name Max Payne. In addition, the game has received a huge number of various awards. Including a BAFTA award.
In the second part of the game Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (translated: the fall of Max Payne), the plot takes place already in 2003, when Max decides to return to work in the police of his hometown New York. This time, he got a job in the homicide department. Detective. Max is still tormented by terrible nightmares, thoughts of losing his family, and he continues to indulge in painkillers. In the 2nd part of the game he will meet a certain Mona Sax, who will soon turn out to be a hired killer and will help Max deal with many bandits in the game. The plot, as in the previous part, is very strong and will appeal to those who saw Max's terrible fate in Max Payne 1.
Third, and perhaps this moment, the last released part about Max - Max Payne 3, this time again will tell us the story of our already beloved hero. 9 years have passed. Max grew older, grew stubble, shaved his head, and began to get heavily involved in alcohol and pills to reduce the feeling of pain. In 2012, Max moved to live and work in Brazil, in the city of Sao Paulo, where he hired a bodyguard for a certain Rodrigo Branco, who is considered a very cool businessman in the city. Naturally, both he and his three brothers are involved in crime. the main task Max in the third part of the game is to guard and at all costs protect his boss’s wife, Fabiana. She is then kidnapped in the game. And he is kidnapped by a very tough and heavily armed group of bandits, which, by the way, is considered almost the most dangerous in the city. Your task becomes to save Fabiana. Of course, the plot is no longer as “super”, so to speak, as in the previous parts, but it also remains interesting. But the game has acquired a very modernized engine, because of this the game has acquired very beautiful pictures and physics. In general, fans of interesting shooters with a plot, and where you can shoot beautifully, will like it, because... The entire Max Payne series is worthy of attention!
Need for Speed: Underground 2
To be honest, friends, in my personal opinion, this part of the Need for Speed series is the best. Many gamers who love racing will support me and say the same thing. There is crazy speed while driving, here are the coolest cars with girls, and there are even jeeps. Perhaps the most catchy thing about this game is huge selection tuning and all kinds of customization and improvement of your car. Need for Speed: Underground 2 has excellent music, a wonderful storyline, and simply mind-blowing night racing along colorful highways and other various roads and places in the city.
In addition, the developers from Electronic Arts Black Box also added a completely open game world, in which you can freely ride around the city and “duel,” so to speak, with other racers. IN Underground 2 You can also try: drifting and a wide variety of other races and competitions. In general, this game is a complete experience. Our gaming portal recommends! Game rating: 10/10.
Series Disciples II
Disciples II, which translates to: Disciples II, is an excellent theme for those who simply adore turn-based strategies like “Heroes of Might and Magic.” Only, here, unlike Heroes, everything is done on a larger scale, more beautifully and elegantly. In the second part of Disciples, as in the first, four playable races fight among themselves: the Empire (humans), the Undead Hordes (dead corpses), the Legions of the Damned (demons from hell) and the Mountain Clans (veterans and lords of the snowy mountains). Soon, having completed the previous parts of the addons, you can discover the fifth race - the Elves, who are famous for their speed and power.
Disciples II is a game for hours, for days, for weeks. It has a huge bunch of different functions, improving the skills of your characters (partly, one might say, it has an RPG genre), choosing the class of a leader, a military commander, etc. The game has a wide variety of branches for the development of your characters, various types of resources, magic, spells and everything. We recommend it to anyone who is simply crazy about these types of games!
FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage
FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage, which is a direct remake of the game FlatOut 2, is almost the same as the 2nd part. In Ultimate Carnage, the game engine was only slightly improved, the graphics and physics were improved, and the developers added new game modes. You can simply choose FlatOut 2, but I recommend the remake more. Everything is a little better there. And now about the game: FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is an excellent race with awesome graphics and physics. Almost everything that is on the track can be knocked down, smashed or smashed into pieces. In this game, not only great graphics, cool cars, and their destructibility is also very pleasing to the eye.
In addition, the game contains so many interesting game modes that you want to complete it as soon as possible. By the way, like any great race, FlatOut 2 contains excellent musical accompaniment. Both on the menu and during check-in. What can be said about the “Derby” mode, where you have to ram cars as often as possible to win. At the same time, you must not break yourself! Or funny game in "Shoot the Pilot", when you have to accelerate to unrealistic speeds and then throw your pilot out of the car as high as possible. Very amusing!
Ex Machina
Very interesting Russian game in the style of arcade, racing, action and RPG in one whole from the Targem Games studio! You play as a young man who wants not only to avenge the death of his adoptive father and the burned house, but also to find his own father, who spent his entire life traveling the world and collecting various artifacts.
The game takes place in a brutal and scary world after the apocalypse caused by scientists. To breathe freely, people have to wear masks on their faces, because... the air was poisoned. All these actions take place in 2011. The most interesting thing, perhaps, is that the player can only survive in specially armored vehicles, of which there are a huge number traveling around the world. There are both civilians and the government, merchants and even bandits. Where would we be without them? The gamer has the chance to try himself behind the wheel of various vehicles, which can be upgraded and improved, as well as hang on it more than 30 types of all kinds of weapons and guns: from simple mini-machine guns to all sorts of blasters and energy guns. The game has a very interesting and exciting storyline, the sides of which can change depending on the player’s actions. In general: ride, shoot, explore, improve, kill, etc.!
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare series:
[Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3
]
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is perhaps the best series of games, since the 1st part, of all the Call of Duty parts that have ever been released. Starting from the first part of the game, you take on the role of a recruit named Soap. After brave training, you, together with Captain Price, who controls the SAS detachment, begin to storm the ship with terrorists, and soon find yourself in other parts of the world to prevent the implementation of the plans of a certain terrorist named Imran Zakhaev, who decided to start such a war, after the end which, he would be the ruler of itself big country in the world - Russia, and then would not wait to capture other countries and territories.
In this first-person shooter, which contains an incredibly interesting game plot, you will have to visit a variety of hot spots in the world. Sometimes you will storm the ship, at other times your task will be to free the hostages. The game even has a mission where you will be tasked with getting almost to the very heart of Chernobyl - the city of Pripyat, in order to kill a very important target from a family of terrorists.
In the next two parts, the main character, again, will find himself in various parts of the world and play for the most interesting personalities, including terrorists. As a result, the third part of the series will conclude, so to speak, the story of Modern Warfare with the fact that you will kill the main terrorist and villain. Generally speaking, anyone who likes to shoot and enjoy a wonderful storyline will be satisfied with this series of games.
Half-Life Series:
[Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 2.
]
Series Half-Life games from Valve Corporation tells us the story of a young scientist named Gordon Freeman, who is in a huge laboratory where rather dangerous research is being carried out. Soon, these studies are stopped due to an event that plunged the entire existing world into its apocalypse.
Between our world and another, which is inhabited by hostile mutant creatures, in connection with research, a portal has opened, through which all these creatures have climbed... You, playing as this young scientist, must get out of the laboratory and begin to fight this madness. Both in the first, second and subsequent episodes, the game takes place from the 1st person, and the plot is played out in such a way that there are no videos or cut scenes. All monologues, stories or any events occur directly in the gameplay process of the game, and you, the main character of the game, Gordon Freeman, watch the whole thing from a 1st person view. Great, isn't it?
The plot of this series of games is amazing, the gameplay is simple and interesting, the graphics and physics are very nice to look at and the action, despite the fact that the game was released in 2001-2004-2006-2007. This game has long gathered a whole bunch of fans; hundreds of fan sites dedicated to this game have been opened all over the world. Again: fans of the first-person shooter genre and those who love a beautiful and interesting plot will love it!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series:
[S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear sky, Call of Pripyat.
]
A mind-blowing first-person shooter - S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the first part of which is called S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, was developed by a Ukrainian company GSC Game World, which is on this moment fell apart. This game was very warmly, but “warmly” is not the right word, it was warmly received by the fans! I think almost everyone knows about this game. The actions of this shooter take place at the moment when the second explosion occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (Nuclear Power Plant). Only in the game, events look a little different than how they were in reality.
After this explosion, a wave of radiation began and Chernobyl itself turned into chaos. Animals became mutants and rabid, and people began to survive in the zone, organizing fights and shootings for every can of stew that had not yet been opened. And what about the artifacts alone, which are scattered throughout the zone, which can increase health or stop bleeding in time, without a first aid kit, for example. You play as a certain Bullseye, who miraculously survived an accident on a “death truck” during a thunderstorm. Your first task will be to kill a certain “Shooter”, and then get to the very center of the zone and make a wish from the “Wish Granter”.
Both the first part and the next two, which were released with a break of about a year, also take place in the Chernobyl zone, where groups, military men and mutants rule. Game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. not only contains wonderful graphics, physics and shooter, but also the genre of survival and thriller. Do you think you will feel at ease if in Pripyat you wander through a hotel building in the dark of night, which is inhabited by mutants? They can jump out at the most unexpected moment or scream. Or, for example, in the dark laboratory X16, in which it’s scary even without mutants. In the game, in addition to all this, there are various ranks, titles, and RPG elements in general. In short, you will definitely like it!
Warcraft III Series:
[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
]
Before you is an amazing strategy from the Blizzard Entertainment studio called Warcraft III. Anyone who has previously played Warcraft or Warcraft II knows that the main event of this game is the war between two factions: the horde and the alliance. In the third part, the plot becomes even more ambitious than in the previous parts. Warcraft III introduces key heroes who not only have interesting abilities, but can also carry various types of items.
In Warcraft III, you again have to lead your squad: an alliance, a horde, the undead or night elves along the paths of war in order to gain victory over the enemy, build buildings, hire workers to collect resources, and so on. As stated by fans and admirers, the game is worth playing!
Series Dragon Age:
[Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age II and Dragon Age: Inquisition (not yet released)]
One of the most popular and interesting RPGs in the world. The Dragon Age series, which means “Age of the Dragon,” has many features. Firstly, the game takes place not like in many RPGs (top view), but with a 3rd person view, thus the picture looks much more interesting and beautiful. In addition, you not only have a very extensive leveling system, but also the ability to take with you 4 companions of different classes, with each of which you can play, improve his skills, change equipment, arrange tactical moves and make exactly the same changes, which you can also do with your main character.
One of the most interesting features of Dragon Age is the ability to pause during the game, moreover, at any moment that suits you. Of course, not during a story scene, cutscene or dialogue. This option allows you to assign attack or defense tasks to each of your characters. For example: a warrior can attack a spider from the left, a magician can create a protective barrier from monsters, a thief can attack from the back, and a wizard can be given a task to heal your warrior using magic. After you release the pause, the heroes will begin to act as you assigned them their tasks.
Each part starts with the fact that you can create your character from scratch. Give him a hairstyle, choose his race, class and other details. The Dragon Age series is famous all over the world for its fame, popularity and the fact that it appeals to almost any fan of the RPG genre. If you are like that, then I highly recommend trying out the game. By the way, the third part of the series, Dragon Age: Inquisition (Inquisition) will be released in the fall of 2014 and will be completely on a new engine (topmost screenshot).
RAGE
To be honest, RAGE is one of my favorite games. It has everything: action, real rage, racing, endless shooting (shooting) at everyone, stealth, and accurate hits to the head. In general, I think that RAGE is worth at least trying, and you should try it!
By the way, the game was developed at the end of 2011 by the id Software studio, which once created the world famous Doom and Quake. You can immediately say that these guys are 100% capable of making interesting shooters! The game, by the way, takes place in the future, when an asteroid fell on Earth. People already knew about this in advance, and therefore, they created something like bunkers, “arks” around the world, in which people hid. Those who remained alive began to fight for survival in this world after the apocalypse. In the game you can be content not only with cool guns and gadgets, but also have your own buggy - a car. There are several types of them in the world. But that is not all. You can also “tune” it, so to speak, by installing new, cool guns, high-quality tires, thick armor, etc. on it. The desert is waiting for you, my friend! Forward!
Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4
Battlefield 3, which was developed by the DICE (Electronic Arts) studio on the Frostbite 2 engine, and Battlefield 4 on the Frostbite 3 engine, are perhaps the most beautiful, famous and popular shooters in the world today. These two games, which were released in 2011 (BF3) and 2013 (BF4), have beautiful and modern next-generation graphics, realistic physics and destructibility, as well as an interesting plot and, perhaps, the most amazing multiplayer (online matches) .
Basically, Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 are worth playing precisely because of the multiplayer mode, to prove to all the suckers who is who! Although these two parts compete strongly with the Call of Duty series, in my personal opinion, Call of Duty is still very far from Battlefield. Therefore, if you want to have a fun, beautiful and interesting gaming time, you should play two the latest parts of Battlefield!
Fallout series:
[Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
]
The Fallout series is famous for its popularity all over the world! The first two parts were developed and released a long time ago, even before the beginning of 2000, but still gained considerable popularity among fans of the RPG genre.
But Fallout 3 and Fallout 3: New Vegas came out not so long ago (2008 and 2010) and have made significant progress in graphics, having received a 3rd and 1st person view (can be changed during the game), as well as good graphics and physical components.
All games take place in the distant, distant future, when the world has suffered nuclear war and everything around was practically destroyed. The player needs to do a lot to save as many lives as possible. The game has very advanced features for “leveling up” the skills of your hero, and not just a lot, but a whole lot of options that your character can have are in the game. If you just “get high,” so to speak, from RPGs and shooters, then you definitely need to play at least the last two parts of the Fallout series. By the way! In 3rd Part and New Vegas, you can switch from 3rd person to 1st person at any second. Not many games have such an interesting feature, keep that in mind!
Sniper Elite and Sniper Elite V2
Sniper Elite, like, in fact, Sniper Elite V2, in my opinion, and others too, is perhaps the most interesting and realistic game about a sniper during the Second World War.
In both the first part of the game and the second, you play as a professional sniper named Karl Fairbairn, whose task (in the first part) is to prevent opponents from creating a very dangerous nuclear weapon. In the second part (Sniper Elite V2), you will be tasked with performing many important tasks given by the state, but the main one will be to find and kill scientists who are doing very dangerous weapon- V2 rocket launcher.
Since the first part of Sniper Elite, the game has very realistic sniper shooting behavioral factors. Pulse, wind speed, distance to the target, the posture of the shooter, etc., greatly influence the bullet hitting the target. If you select hard difficulty in the game, you may not hit the enemy the first time if you have no experience in similar games. Sniper Elite V2, unlike the first part of the series, was released in 2012 and has noticeably different graphics. If you have always dreamed of a realistic stealth game as a sniper who conducts combat operations in Berlin - buy and play!
Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
I think almost everyone watched the action movie “Resident Evil”, also known as Resident Evil. Who doesn’t know, it was based on this series of games that I’m now describing to you. From the first part to the third, these games are amazing from the horror game genre.
Like many Resident Evil fans, and I personally really love the third part of the Resident Evil series: Nemesis, where you are tasked with playing for a certain Jill Valentine (mostly) and Carlos. Your task is to get out of Raccoon City, which is teeming with creatures of all kinds: from simple zombies, infected crows, dogs to powerful bosses like Nemesis and the worm.
If you're a die-hard lover of horror games like Silent Hill, then you definitely need to check out these three games. At least the third part is a must! Of course, there are other games in the series, at the moment there are 25 of them in total, ending with the last one - Resident Evil 6. But whether you play them or not is up to you. As a matter of course, I recommend these three.
Diablo and Diablo II
If we talk about the series Diablo games, then we can safely say that today, it is considered the most famous and popular top-down action RPG game. Fans of this genre have probably already played it, but still, if you haven’t tried it, I really hasten to recommend it to you.
The main task in both parts is to kill the main villain of the demons. In Diablo, this is Diablo, in Diablo II, first Diablo, and then his brother, Bhaal. You start as one of the heroes, whose class and style you choose at the beginning of the game. Kill a lot of monsters, look for new equipment, weapons, improve your skills. Very interesting activity, play Diablo, fans of the genre will definitely tell you. You can, of course, try the third part of Diablo, but it is a little different if you compare the first two. But modern.
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The 1st and 3rd person RPG series in one The Elder Scrolls is already known throughout the world. This is especially true of the latest part of the series - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, where the game takes place in the northern world of dragons and other mythical creatures.
A very interesting feature of the game is the ability to switch the character’s view from 1st person to 3rd person and back. This interesting feature is found only in a few games. Every fan of the described action-RPG will say that this series is worthy of attention. Not only does the game have complete freedom of action, but there is also an in-depth system for leveling up your hero. Your character doesn't have to be just a warrior or a mage. These skills can be combined by holding a sword in one hand and releasing a fireball with the other hand.
If you are a fan of modern games with excellent graphics, plot, freedom of action, etc., then I gladly advise you to immediately try Skyrim, the fifth part of the series, which has not only all of the above, but also other wonderful features.
Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series:
[GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, GTA IV and GTA V.
]
In general, everyone knows about this large series of games like Grand Theft Auto. I don’t think it’s worth talking in detail about this 3rd person action game (not counting the first two parts (top view)). I would like to immediately convey that every self-respecting gamer should try out such a game, which is still produced by Rockstar Games.
Still, for those who don’t know, what is GTA, I will explain. In all parts of the series you play as a different hero. In GTA you have 100% freedom of action in the game world. And the game world is a city (in some parts with rural areas), in which you can move freely, perform various tasks, ride any car, create chaos, dress as you want. In general, live your life and do what pleases your soul.
When I, personally, saw the first GTA and GTA 2 in my life, in which you can get into any car and drive around the city, I was pleasantly surprised and very happy. I was drawn in... and today, such versions of Grand Theft Auto have come out that you can not only get into any car, helicopter, boat, bicycle, etc., but also enter almost every building. Play it, you'll like it! ;)
Space Rangers Series:
[Space Rangers, Space Rangers 2: Dominators and Space Rangers HD: Revolution
]
With the penultimate game, I will probably please those who love space flying games, battles and in general turn based games. Although, those who are crazy about game quests will also be satisfied with this game.
One of the features of the series (especially the 2nd and HD part) is the amazing graphics, both the interface, tasks, game quests, and gameplay in space and planetary battles. In addition, the game is endowed with wonderful unique soundtracks that encourage the player and create an incredibly unique atmosphere of the game.
For those who don’t understand, the actions of all parts take place in space, where (at the time of 3000 and 3300) people, together with four other races, fight the evil invaders of systems and almost galaxies. The game not only has an amazing plot, interesting gameplay, amazing graphics, but there is also a system for upgrading your ship and even the pilot himself. In general, it’s beautiful, interesting and pleasant.
P.S. When I first played the second part of the series, which my upstairs neighbor gave me to play, I had to stay up all night and go to school with red eyes. Yes, yes, that’s how she pulled me in...
Tower Wars
Tower Wars is perhaps the coolest and highest quality game in the “tower defense” style ( Tower Defense)", which was released in mid-August last year, 2012, by the SuperVillain studio. These guys acted both as developers and publishers of the game.
Anyone who is a fan of this genre should definitely try Tower Wars for PC, which can be purchased on Steam. The game has about 8 types of towers with 3 levels of improvement. But this is nothing compared to other “interesting” toys. The fact is that you can play it online. In general, this is what it is designed for. 1vs1,2vs2,3vs3. As you wish. Of course, to destroy the enemy’s castle, you need to send troops yourself. In Tower Wars, if I'm not mistaken, there are more than 10 types of troops that have many improvements that can be made on your part. In addition, each type of troops has its own characteristics and subtleties during an attack: some heal, others give speed to those walking nearby, others are powerful, others are fast, etc.
In addition, in order for more money to flow into your treasury, in order to defeat your opponent, you need to improve your gold mines. The game already has a lot of different upgrades, improvements and changes to various skills and details right during the match. Tower Defense fans will be 100% satisfied!
Well, that’s probably all. I'll end here list of games everyone should play. I hope that in it you found at least one game that you would like. If you think that there are some other unique games should be here, then write below in the comments. See you again!
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 get 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 use a straw to draw water (you can juice, mineral water or beer) from one bottle and pour it 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 him.
- Siamese twins. The company is divided into two teams. Two people from each team participate. They are placed sideways to each other. The left leg of one participant is connected to right foot another, and their torsos are tied with belts. The result is “Siamese twins”. All actions should be performed at speed. "Siamese twins" work two different hands(one right, the other 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.
