There was only one thing wrong with Lonely Mountains: Downhill, the mountain biking game: it wasn't co-op. Thankfully, developer Megagon Industries has rectified that issue with Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, the skiing-themed sequel. The new game features a cute and attractive art style, intuitive controls, and online co-op. It's out now on Xbox and PC, and the Xbox version is available on Game Pass too.
Slimes are a beloved type of monster that appear in Dragon Quest and many other games. Soon, they'll even be getting their own game courtesy of Pancake Games and Whitethorn Games. Slime Heroes is a "Soulslike" action adventure with 2-player local co-op support. That's twice as many slimes! Players will be able to get their hands on all that double slime action on February 13.
Arcade-style basketball games like NBA Jam are good, but how do we make them better? With robots, of course! It's a formula as old as time itself. Jollypunch Games has used this common knowledge to create RoboDunk. The robotic basketball game has just arrived on consoles and Steam, and it even features 2-player drop in, drop out local co-op.
Since it arrived in October, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been getting a steady stream of content updates. Most excitingly for us here in Co-op Land (TM), the game's round-based zombies mode got a third map and the slightly easier "Directed Mode" not too long ago. Still, more is always better, so three maps isn't enough! Luckily, a map called "The Tomb" will be added on January 28. That's not too far off!
It has been a while since we named our Co-op Games of the Year, but it’s time to bring it back, baby. This year, your fearless Surviving Editor (I’m not quite dead yet!) and other members of the Co-op Crew each selected a personal co-op game of the year. On top of that, we all picked a "Beyond Co-op" game of the year as well. ...
Forever Entertainment's The House of the Dead: Remake was a pretty good new version of the classic Sega light gun shooter, even if the modern graphics lost some of the original's Japanese charm. Thus, we're glad that Forever will be releasing THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: Remake in the spring of this year. The Dreamcast version of HotD2 was terrific, so hopefully, the new version will pack a similar level of gory fun.
The Sniper Elite series allows players to enjoy the thrill of sneaking around during World War II and sniping Nazis. Hey, they deserve it! Although the series is up to part 5 now (which I badly need to play!), Sniper Elite 4 has just launched on iOS. It can be played on iPhone, iPad, and even Mac. The only downside to this news is that the 4-player online co-op of the console and PC versions didn't make the cut for the Apple versions.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge kicked off a wave of nostalgic beat ‘em ups that shows no signs of slowing down. While none of these challengers have managed to match Shredder’s Revenge in quality, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, from Digital Eclipse and Atari, comes the closest so far.
