![]() ![]() But for me, Far Cry 4 is the superior game, with a more interesting world, a clearer sense of what it’s about. To the kitchen!Īgain, you could probably choose between this and Far Cry 5 for co-operative shenanigans. Hang on, is this a good thing? Should we be celebrating the wrecking of relationships through the virtual pursuit of the culinary arts? Ah, who cares, they were probably doomed anyway. More challenges, more zaniness, more arguments, more divorces in China and, presumably, elsewhere. The sequel is essentially the same, but more of it. So you end up yelling, and so the madness rises. Inevitably, players get in each other’s way or prioritise the wrong jobs at the wrong time, and there’s no time to gently point out the correct way to do things. You need to figure out who’s going to chop the vegetables, who’s going to cook the burger patties, who’s going to assemble the dish and put it out for service, who’s going to wash the dishes when they’re returned smeared with grease, and so on. The game gives its four players a set list of jobs to do, but leaves the planning and execution of those jobs up to you. It’s in that gap between “quick” and “efficient” where the joy, frustration, and separation-inducing arguments arise. Overcooked casts you and your friends as little chefs (not Little Chefs) racing around a kitchen trying to get food orders out to hungry diners as quickly and efficiently as possible. It’s not surprising, given its tendency to make you yell at your spouse like Gordon Ramsay stepping on a plug. It’s not the smartest or most innovative game around, but pick up a gun that reloads by exploding and try not to smile.Īpparently Overcooked is known as “The Divorce Game” in China. When there’s four of you shooting off absurd guns and equally absurd powers, Borderlands 3 offers an undoubtedly thrilling spectacle. Rather than trying to dress this up as some noble affair, Borderlands instead places all its onus on making those guns as weird and interesting as it possibly can.īorderlands 3 also has the best character-class system of the three games, letting you play as a giant robot with a pet monkey, a man who fights with a holographic clone of himself, and a pound-shop D.Va who can batter enemies about in her own personal mech. It’s the only loot-based shooter that is entirely honest about what it is, an endless search for an incrementally better gun. I think that’s why, despite its humour annoying the heck out of me, I’m still quite fond of the Borderlands series. But Borderlands 3 is the biggest and best-looking of the lot, as well as having the most advanced iteration of its cracking gun-generation system. You could probably put any of the Borderlands games here, since they’re all basically the same. This includes optional single-player/cooperative experiences provided the latter is sufficiently catered for, but pure team-based competitive games, like TF2 and Fortnite, are out. ![]() ![]() To be clear, we’re focussing on games that offer a dedicated co-operative experience. Hence, we’ve put together our picks for the best-co-operative experiences ever made. Nowadays there are plenty of co-operative experiences around, yet still relatively few achieve this. Not only do you have to ensure every player has an equally enjoyable experience, you also need to build your game so that players are interacting with each other in a way that is interesting and makes the co-operative element feel worthwhile. Making a truly great co-operative game, however, is much more challenging. You could be playing Bad Rats and you’d probably get some fun out of it if you had a friend playing alongside you. It’s commonly acknowledged that adding a co-operative mode automatically makes any game better. ![]()
