Valhiem and Grounded fun co-op. Halo MCC iis still the king of co-op for fps, imo.
I don't play new games so idk what's come out recently.

Wish they could fix the Halo2 co-op issues, but that's twenty year old spaghetti code. It would be easier to just host the game on one instance, tunnel the second controller input and stream the perspective.

I'd still say the Gears franchise owns the shooter coop throne. Every game in the series supports at least 2 player, with 3 & judgement being 4 player, and 5 being 3 player. And they go out of their way to make coop different than regular campaigns too; there are several points, usually one in each level, where you have to split up

Forgot about Gears. Yeah, those were awesome to co-op

Gears 5 is still a tour de force of how to do a modern game. It's got cosmetics, customization, an acceptable (but not great) story, decent PvP, and imo the absolute best PvE. Nothing has managed to dethrone horde in 5+ years
