Wondering what the people on Lemmy think :)

Looking for stuff to play mostly with 2 players, but anything is fine.

I looked through https://store.steampowered.com/category/action_fps/?facets13268=6%3A1&flavor=contenthub_toprated (Shooters with tag "coop") but for some reason there's stuff like Counter-Strike and Team Fortress etc. in there, and while you can play those cooperatively, really they're competitive games.

I can certainly understand not liking it. Besides it's offensive social takes, it's definitely not what a typical Resident Evil game is supposed to be. But a buddy and I spent years trying to find good coop game experiences and as far as games that actually sculpt and tend to the coop part as opposed to just throwing a coop mode in at the last moment, very few come anywhere close to the effort to put into this one. On harder difficulties it's actually a really interesting challenge that's not just about bullet sponges or grinding for better gear but about strategy and effective teamwork.

I guess I just don't see what it offered that Gears of War didn't, and I thought Gears was much better.
