What are some good cooperative shooters? Hidden gems? (lemm.ee)

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.

Helldivers 2 is pretty good. Surprisingly not toxic/salty for how big it is.

I take it you've never had the displeasure of being dropped into a PlayStation lobby? Lots of TKers and Kickers on PS. I don't get the same from Steam players.

I guess I've not.

In-game everyone is usually wonderful.

The official discord server, on the other hand... no. Just no.

I've not joined their discord or other. Thanks for the heads up.

I swear, the best way to experience Helldivers 2's community is to just be decent in games with randoms, maybe watch CommissarKai's videos (do not go into the comments section) for tips on teamplay, and absolutely positively do not venture into the steam forums, the discord, or any other big discussion forum centered around the game because it w i l l be a cesspit, unfortunately. The Steam forums have the usual toxic trolls, but the Discord (and other hubs) is usually having furious arguments over buffs, nerfs, what is meta, what isn't, what should be done what shouldn't be and so on. For a silly little PvE co-op power fantasy game.

I'm not sure if Deep Rock Galactic has this problem, I've played it and it all seemed pretty positive but I never got into the game as much as I did HD2.
