Borderlands 2 by Gearbox Software, LLC, Aspyrīorderlands 2, the sequel to 2009’s hit first-person shooter (FPS) game Borderlands, is engineered to be one of the best multiplayer games on Steam, as it is most fun as a co-op game. Some of these experiences are within co-op modes of competition games or solo story games, and others are built from the ground up with cooperation in mind as part of the satisfaction the game delivers. We’ve assembled a list of 11 of the best multiplayer games on Steam that you can play with friends. What the best co-op games offer is camaraderie, teamwork, and sometimes, if you totally slip up, the comfort of your friends being on hand to save the day and do the hard work of winning for you. They’re things you can play with other people, not against other people. That’s where co-op games come in.Ĭo-ops are not competitions. Similarly, if you pull off a great move in a game, or defeat a boss-monster against all odds with only one sliver of health left for yourself, and nobody’s there to see it, does it even really count? Sometimes, you need a buddy (or five) to make a fun gaming session feel worthwhile. There’s that old question: “If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?” It might, but without a listener, what good is a sound anyway?
