Bonus points if it has a good story. Also, I’m not going to play DRM-controlled games
Vermintide 2.
Deep Rock Galactic.
FarCry (I think all of them? It’s been forever since I played 1-3 tho; the newest ones all have co-op)
I also reccomend deep rock galactic, the devs are very involved in the community. The community is (mostly) amazing. There isn’t much story and it is completely hidden in the in game encyclopedia and the wiki. No drm (apart from steam) and lots of content and depth that keeps you hooked once you make it to your first promotion.
Halo is my top pick, the first three have great stories and couch co-op if you need that, and if you get the master chief collection (halo mcc), the multiplayer is great and you can find tons of forge mode maps created by people, from race modes to mini golf haha
Gears of war is also fantastic, epic story, fun gameplay, and who doesn’t love a chainsaw bayonet lol
Deep rock galactic is another really fun one, I can’t say there’s too deep of a story too it, but it’s endlessly repayable with all the combinations of weapons and procedurally generated missions.
Halo 1 and 2
But not 3, Reach or ODST?
Helldivers 2 is fantastic fun and I still play it weekly, even though I’m max level with everything unlocked.
Technically not a FPS though
And has mandatory online anyway, so that would be DRM.
True, but you can go first person for ADS.
If you want no DRM, you are basically only going to get your games from GOG.
Remnant 2, it’s third person but it’s one of my favorite games ever.
If you know how to sail the high seas and emulate things, Halo coop is easily my fave.
+1 for halo.
Why emulate ? The Master Chief Collection is available on PC. It’s missing Halo 5 though. And then Infinite went ahead and cancelled this whole storyline.
True, I forgot that I bought that myself. My mind went to XBox emulation because I’ve been messing around with it. It’d be interesting to hear a comparison between what runs smoother: Halo 1-4 emulated or through the MCC.
- Shadow Warrior 2 (avalaible on GOG)
- Half-Life 2 has a mod for campaign coop (Synergy if I recall correctly)
- Lots of zombie games : Left4dead 2, Killing Floor 2, …
- Borderlands
First Person but not totally shooter :
- Dying Light / Dead Island
- Vermintide / Darktide
A Way Out is an interesting one. Very story driven with some FPS stuff near the end.
What do you mean by DRM here? Are you saying you need to be able to pirate it?
When I was a kid I had a blast playing Time Splitters: Future Perfect on my friend’s PS2. Such a fun game, with a great co-op story mode.
Seconding Dying Light 1 and Borderlands 2. Excellent games! If you’re open to 3rd person, Helldivers 2 and The Division 2. No idea about DRM, though.
Helldivers and Division are definitely DRM.
