Top 10 NEW CO-OP Games of 2020

playing games together is great that's why we're always on the lookout for a great co-op hi folks it's falcon and today on game ranks the top 10 new co-op games of 2020. starting off at number 10 it's hell point hellpoint is somewhere between like a grotesque fantasy and a sci-fi rpg which takes place on a space station and basically if you want to call it space souls or dark space it probably wouldn't be entirely inaccurate it's very much a souls like the co-op didn't exactly launch perfectly it was fairly buggy but by this point this is a very good co-op souls like and if anything it's certainly one that actually has its own aesthetic the best souls likes i've found are the ones that just don't try to look like dark souls they try to take the genre into a new world or a completely new aesthetic and integrate ideas from that into the gameplay and number nine is minecraft dungeons which i know yes sounds like another minecraft title and technically is but it's a dungeon crawler it's a very different concept than what minecraft actually is and as a co-op dungeon crawler dungeon brawler it's a pretty damn good hack and slash exploration of procedurally generated dungeons with some handcrafted ones thrown in as well it's pretty darn fun it's maybe a little bit simplistic for single player but when you get a couple of people together and do this than co-op it is a ton of fun in fact i'd pretty much list that as the strength i care probably a lot less about minecraft dungeons as a single player game and really enjoy it as a co-op i don't i don't exactly know how intended that is but the co-op was absolutely the sort of saving grace for this title it extends the playability because it's kind of a conversational platform in addition to a hack and slash and the randomly generated nature of it lets you basically go as long as you want at number eight is battle toads oh my god do i want battle toads i cannot wait for battle toads what i'm pretty glad about is that they decided not to alter the core gameplay conceits it's still a side-scrolling beat em up a three player go to the right beat everything up game but it definitely upgrades the aesthetic a lot we've seen some of it and while it is kind of unfortunate it's an xbox slash pc exclusive i am extremely ready to play it everything we have seen of it which again like i said it's fairly limited but what we've looked at seems like a fairly big style version of battletoads like the octane seems quite high so to speak i i love battle toads i go back and play the original nes game all the time and to be able to play something without using an emulator or hooking up an old console yes i do own an nes and a copy of battletoads no my current tv does not like it i'm excited i think that it's going to be really good it's coming august 20th at number seven is spongebob squarepants the battle for bikini bottom rehydrated which is a platform game i don't know i really expected to ever exist battle for bikini bottom is actually a really good co-op platformer but it looks extremely dated when you see it purple lamp studios has gone ahead and completely redone it it's much better looking however it definitely retains the aesthetic of the original but it also gives us new content stuff that was caught from the original game like the robo squidward boss fight plenty more as well it's also got a new horde mode multiplayer for online and offline two-player co-op which has proven to be a pretty good addition because the game play of spongebob squarepants battle for bikini bottom is actually really good it's a great platformer it definitely is along the lines of platformers in that era however it is one of the better examples of it someone dropped squarepants battle for bikini bottom is out already on quite a few platforms and if you're looking for a great platformer from the 2003 era but without the really really dated look i mean this looks a lot better this is where you gotta go at number six is watchdogs legion which is a sequel to the definite upgrade in the series watchdogs 2. it not only gives you the ability to control multiple characters it also has a four player co-op mode that i think is really going to end up being a big boon to the series watchdogs kind of started out a little bit too close to grand theft auto but has gradually grown apart from it as was kind of the spirit of the series intended to be it's not that the first one was bad it was just a little too samey but the second one i think was genuinely quite good it really expanded upon the core ideas of the series and implemented them in a manner that was great here we're seeing this in a sort of near future london police state which i think is a brilliant setting for this game we've sort of seen it in a pre-police state era in some ways the ctos idea was kind of shown through a silicon valley utopian lens which was i mean criticized in the game more or less but the end result of that type of a thing is yes obviously police state stuff so i really like that that's what's being portrayed here and i really think it has more potential as a setting and i think this is where the series is really going to hit its stride it's hitting pretty much every platform imaginable on october 29th except for next gen which it will also be hitting later obviously at number five is baldur's gate three now this is a sequel that's been a very long time coming and it was originally going to be hitting mid-august but they are going to be announcing the actual release date in a few days it isn't going to be long from now according to them baldur's gate if you remember is a top-down isometric role-playing game from the looks of everything we've seen so far the gameplay conventions aren't particularly different however the viewpoint is now entirely 3d you're able to do basically everything that you might in a modern game with the camera still point and click still very cool looking it's uh pretty exciting that larry in studios the developers of divinity original sin and divinity original sin 2 have been the developers of this game because they're bringing their co-op conventions to it you'll be able to play both locally and with friends specifically if you want to do couch co-op that split screen for two players if you want to do it online it's four players at number four is outriders a fairly different looking game from square annex which we thought might be related to marvel however it's a game that centers around humanity's struggle to colonize a planet and a super power giving energy that empowers both sides of a war we've seen a lot of the systems that outriders purports to use it's very role playing oriented but for the most part it's a three-player cover shooter that i think will come off a lot like a gears of war title and that makes sense it was developed by people can fly the developer behind gears of war judgment which was one of the spin-off games they also created bullet storm which was a pretty darn cool first person shooter i don't know i think that this is going to be one of those games that is either really really good or kind of just sort of quietly lands and people forget about it i think there's potential for the former and i hope that the latter doesn't happen because i think the premise is cool the aesthetic is cool the systems that they've shown us are also cool and if it all comes together i'm pretty excited to have another multiplayer cover shooter to go through personally it's coming to pretty much all platforms in quarter four of this year cross your fingers at number three is star wars squadrons which i think is an extremely cool looking game a first person multiplayer dog fighting game intended to give you the ability to play in vr however the game is not going to be vr exclusive which honestly i think is a good thing because that means it's not going to rely on those gimmicks but what worries me is that that might make the vr itself a bit of a gimmick we'll see but i'm pretty darn excited about it on account it's obviously using a name similar to rogue squadron i think it's probably going to be comparable to rogue squadron in the same way the new battlefront is comparable to the old battlefront i do think there's going to be some pretty significant gameplay differences we've seen some stuff about the various ships the imperial ones for instance aren't going to have shields so it's going to be quite accurate to the in-world ships i'm interested to see how much rogue squadron and how much x-wing versus tie fighter and how much new game play is in the mix here it's coming to ps4 xbox one and windows on october 2nd at number two is marvel's avengers although there is some controversy going on about monetization options particularly in the exclusivity areas the core game actually does look pretty darn fun it looks to have some varied combat based on different character gameplay and i definitely like what everything looks like it's a good good-looking game what it really depends on i think is the story and how they intend to make it into what they've been calling the games as a service type game how the ongoing gameplay is going to fare in that respect but i think there's also a lot of possibilities as long as they don't bog us down too far with the monetization stuff we'll see marvel's avengers is hitting this current generation of hardware on september 4th and at number one is grounded it's worth talking about because it's a pretty fun looking game it's basically a honey i shrunk the kids simulator you're shrunk down to the size of an ant and have to either on your own or with a cast of others people who are playing with you co-op survive in a world that seems much bigger than it is that means gathering resources getting a hold of stuff that can help you fight off insects that are much bigger than they should be etc etc it looks like a hell of a lot of fun to me few bonus games for you first one is gunfire reborn a kind of first person roguelike rpg linear co-op game it's actually a really cool aesthetic it does a lot differently from the type of game you might expect it's kind of left for dead-ish except for obviously the aesthetics totally different it's also very loot-oriented but hey that's not necessarily a bad thing when it's done right next is godfall an action rpg that i've been calling kind of fantasy melee anthem although we definitely have hope that it's handled more competently than anthem that's all for today have you played any of
