2025 on Steam is turning into a pretty solid year for co-op games. Lots of big names, some smaller teams, and a few surprises making waves.

      Monster Hunter Wilds? Really? With negative reception due to awful performance and even with Capcom admitting its sales were weak?

      My PC couldnt even run Wilds at a playable framerate. It still can’t. I dont exactly have a weak rig either. But the game has to run at settings so low that it looks like a Wii port, and with framegen disabled it gets 27 fps in windowed 720p.

    Split Fiction is great but I think It Takes Two was just a better game all around. Split Fiction was faster paced which was nice, but the little exploration areas in It Takes Two were just wonderful. Lots of little surprises and fun details to find that made it a joy to slow down and just explore and experience some nice environments. Split Fiction was really missing that and while it’s still great, I wish they’d done a bit of that too.

      I know in split fiction I saw at least one area with a bunch of things to interact with that were just there to explore. Before that there seemed to be just random things here and there.

    This article feels very AI generated to me. Unless It Takes Two is part of the top 5, then it’s only 4 games listed, and the writing seems very stilted. Also talking about R.E.P.O. in 1 paragraph and then saying “Indies are holder their own, too” as it mentions Peak is just shitty formatting.

      Thanks for your feedback — it’s appreciated. You’re right to call out the formatting and structure if it felt off to you. To clarify, It Takes Two was mentioned as a standout co-op title but wasn’t counted in the core list, which may have caused some confusion. As for the paragraph about R.E.P.O. leading into the mention of Peak, the intention was to highlight a trend in strong indie showings, but we agree that the transition could have been clearer.

      We’ll keep your notes in mind for future edits and aim for smoother flow and better clarity. Thanks again for taking the time to point this out.

      Would you like a more casual or more professional version of this?

      I want to agree but I suck at that game so damn much. It’s fun, but I struggle to find a good path every time.

      I liked Split Fiction, but It Takes Two was better. I hope for more good things from the developer in the future!

    Split Fiction is one of the best local co-op games ever created. Simply incredible.

      The game looks great, but the performance is poor and unoptimised.

      Apparently there isn’t much of an end-game, but from what I understand this is typical of MH games until a DLC comes out
