Best co-op game for a low-end configuration

[Pawden]

In your opinion, what is the best co-op game for a low-end configuration?

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

How low end are we talking, and what genres do you like most, or really want to avoid?

Sven Coop is free on steam, and it's a coop version of Half-Life 1 which means you can do the entire HL1 campaign in coop.

That's like pretty cool man and it will probably run on a microwave.

I think that Portal 2 should be able to run on just about anything given how old it is. One of the greatest co-op games of all time.

Absolutely agree! I've never tried the co-op mode, though. Seems like that would make it too easy. Is it still a decent challenge like that?

Depends on who your co-op partner is and how long you expect it to take to work a puzzle. Playing the SP game by myself, puzzles would usually take me 2 to 3 minutes to work out. When I played the co-op game with Guido, I'd walk in the room and start examining the puzzle, and he'd already be flying through the air headed to the exit.

So if your partner is me, it probably wouldn't feel too easy. It it's Guido, you might feel like you are just playing follow the leader,.

It should be noted, however, that a lot of the co-op puzzles actually require two players, so you still do get to do stuff.

Do they separate the orange and blue portal guns, so you each get one?

Do they separate the orange and blue portal guns, so you each get one?

No. You have to work together by, for instance, triggering a block to fly through the air at just the right time that the other player, who is also flying through the air, can grab it. That sort of thing. You both have the full portal guns.

To be clear, that's 4 portals in total.

Can you really both have your own portals? Like making another one doesn't close off the first one that your partner made? If that's right, then that's pretty cool. I'm going to have to try it out sometime. Can you play it in split screen?

Left 4 Dead is good on low end machines.

Dead Island games ya might get lucky.

Deep Rock I was running on a A10 5800k.

Sven Coop is also coop. I use to play it a bit back in the day and loved it, don't know how many servers there are now.

Was also Synergy Mod I think it was to do Halflife 2 coop among other maps.

Diablo series, Torchlight 2, Titan Quest.

Borderlands should be ok depending what you're running.

Should post the specs so we can narrow it down for ya.

Yes, yes and yes!

The co-op campaign features completely new levels from the single player campaign, so it's definitely not easier, as you have double the portals to consider.

Hey, that's great to know! So they've created new levels that are designed for co-op? That's great. I'll definitely try it out sometime.
