467 Co-op & Multiplayer games reviewed and scored, best first.
467 reviews
A lovingly faithful throwback beat-'em-up from the Streets of Rage 4 team that nails its 90s arcade nostalgia almost unanimously, undercut by a short story campaign, cross-platform multiplayer several reviewers say doesn't actually work as advertised, and a save-corruption bug reported as unresolved years after launch.
7.5 / 10
Read review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
Twelve years and eight chapters after launch, The Elder Scrolls Online still lets you start anywhere and stay relevant everywhere. Level scaling bought that freedom; the trade-off is a levelling arc with no real stakes and a monetisation model dense enough to need a spreadsheet. Reviewed with Season One: Return of the Thieves Guild live.
7.5 / 10
A genuinely frightening co-op horror game that's 93.9% positive — and whose most invested players, with sixty-hour averages, are now leaving negative reviews over the studio's use of AI-generated art.
7.5 / 10
A base-building, Factorio-flavoured action RPG that launched in October 2021 to strong acclaim, then spent nearly four years failing to deliver a promised co-op mode -- and finally did, in August 2025, bundled with a loot rework substantial enough to spark a fresh wave of complaints from the veterans who'd waited for it.
7.5 / 10
The 2006 Diablo alternative that swapped gothic horror for Greek, Egyptian and Asian mythology, revisited twenty years on through the Anniversary Edition that's now the only way to buy it.
7.5 / 10
Eleven years old, free now, and still the most tactically interesting shooter ever made — with a store page whose 82% badge is averaging a decade of paid-game reviews against a free-to-play relaunch its own players rate ten points lower.
7.5 / 10
Widely regarded as the best-received entry in the Total War series (Metacritic 90) and still Very Positive on Steam — but a May 2023 update that stripped multiplayer chat, broke the Mod Manager and invalidated saves on a beloved 12-year-old game triggered a wave of protest reviews that, unlike similar incidents elsewhere in this outlet's library, remains unresolved through 2026.
7.5 / 10
Frozenbyte's course-correction after Trine 3's disastrous 3D detour, returning to 2.5D co-op puzzle-platforming with three fairytale heroes -- still Very Positive on Steam seven years on, with the series' oldest, most consistent complaint (the combat) as fresh in this year's reviews as it was at launch.
7.5 / 10
Four-player co-op combat reviewers on both sides call some of the best in the genre, weighed down by a genuinely notorious launch — a fully functional cosmetic cash shop shipped alongside missing promised systems — and an ongoing pattern of unfulfilled roadmap promises, even as recent sentiment has recovered dramatically since 2022.
7.5 / 10
A genuinely brutal, spectacular power-fantasy action game that nails the Warhammer 40K Space Marine fantasy — layered with real complaints about DLC pricing, always-online requirements, and a background installer that alarmed players even after the likelier explanation turned out to be more mundane than "malware."
7.5 / 10
Some of the best-written quests and dialogue in any CRPG, wrapped around turn-based combat that knows what it's doing — and six years of bug reports that never quite stopped, concentrated almost entirely in the co-op mode it was sold on.
7.5 / 10
The week's biggest "new release" is actually a year-old Early Access game that just hit 1.0 — and the 1.0 finally brought the co-op everyone was waiting for. It's funny, generous and hugely popular. It's also a management sim that never lets you stop doing the menial jobs yourself.
7.5 / 10
A gorgeous, enormous free wuxia open world with some of the most charming systems design in any live-service RPG — welded to an energy meter, five battle passes and a cosmetic gacha that its own store page describes as cosmetics-only.
7.5 / 10
An alien-planet survival and building sandbox — described by one of its own players as "stitched from Don't Starve, Terraria, Stardew Valley and RimWorld" — that launched into Early Access with a punishing hunger system and has spent thirteen straight days of near-daily patches turning early frustration into a genuinely glowing recent reception.
7.5 / 10
Reviewed with Midnight, the eleventh expansion, current and Season 2 landing this month. A look at what a subscriber actually gets in 2026 — the onboarding path, the sub-plus-shop-plus- expansion cost stack, and whether two decades of accumulated systems still add up to a game worth the monthly fee.
7.5 / 10
A Warcraft III mod with over five million downloads gets rebuilt from the ground up as a standalone tower defense, elemental towers and all — Very Positive on Steam, but its own community is now its biggest bottleneck.
7.4 / 10
An anime open-world action RPG that was built as a mobile gacha game, lost its publisher, won a legal fight to come back as a single-purchase Steam release, and still carries every scar of where it came from — for better and for worse.
7.2 / 10
A minimalist Steam collection of twelve chess variants plus 400-odd puzzles from a small studio that clearly loves the game — elegant and cheap, but thin on true online multiplayer and, per its own achievement stats, barely explored past the basics by most buyers.
7.2 / 10
The social deduction phenomenon that defined 2020 is still Very Positive six years later — and its history includes a genuine accessibility redemption story, alongside a real, unresolved complaint about the pub experience that has outlasted the hype cycle.
7 / 10
The best movement in any shooter, and a playerbase that turned on it — 85 of its hundred most-helpful negative reviews were written from 2024 onward, by players averaging 696 hours each.
7 / 10
A small co-op action roguelike that grew out of a public alpha and beta into a full release its handful of long-term testers say has transformed since those early builds. Ten reviews, all positive, and a developer shipping patches at a pace that matches the enthusiasm.
7 / 10
A solo developer's N64-throwback action RPG built around an unusually deep character creator, sitting at Overwhelmingly Positive across 18,400 reviews — but a full read of its negative sample and its own achievement data shows a game whose content pace has not kept up with nearly two years in Early Access.
7 / 10
A team-based aerial PvP game about birds stealing each other's eggs, built around always-on proximity voice chat — genuinely loved by a fast-growing fanbase who call it the real version of a beloved internet meme, while a real, well-corroborated matchmaking and toxicity problem threatens to shrink the population it depends on.
7 / 10
A gorgeous, genuinely soothing pixel-art fishing game that lets you fish actively or let an idle mode do it for you — beloved enough to have gotten real players off the couch and back onto real lakes with their own families, undercut at launch by a real, consistently documented complaint that idling outperforms actually playing, and that there simply wasn't much game underneath the vibe.
