Co-op gaming on the couch or over the coax
Gaming is one of our favorite solo hobbies here at TechRadar. But although gaming is a great way to escape from the world - and everyone in it - there are plenty of titles that are much, much better when you’re playing with someone else. But not so you can pummel a loved one into the ground playing a beat ‘em up. We’re talking about the games that encourage you to play with people, not against them for a change.
Whether you want to team up with some horror lovers to take down hordes of zombies, pull your brain power together to solve puzzles or square up to another team of real-life gamers, the world of co-op gaming is vast with lots of great opportunities to create lasting memories - and find something just as addicting as solo games.
The great thing about co-op games these days is that you can choose between local and co-op play. That means if you have a partner or friends gathered round your one TV at your place, then great. But if that’s not possible for whatever reason, it’s easy to round up friends - or strangers - online.
