Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a Borderlands spinoff shooter/RPG that's co-op and happens to be free to claim on Epic games store this week. I haven't played it yet but really enjoyed the Tiny Tina DLC for Borderlands 2.

The dying light games are great coop
Halo. Not a hidden gem, but locked to xbox for a long time. (At least, co-op was.)
Best way to play is probably local co-op, but I imagine online is good too. Local co-op is only available on console sadly. Mysteriously.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands
Really fun to coop in either players' world to just line up shots and generally wreak havoc.
Fuuuucking this.
It's Grand Theft Auto; Special Forces.
I wish they didn't absolutely butcher the sequel. It feels fucking awful compared to Wildlands.
Yeah I loved Wildlands but couldn't get into Breakpoint. Glad I'm not alone, at least.
Same. I put in like 3 hours into Breakpoint and I was like 'where's literally all the flavor gone from this game? So glad I waited until it was like a 5 dollar steam sale. Even then I tried to refund it but was past the 'trial' period.
And it's on sale for 10$ on steam rn, damn. It's missing the multi-player tag, otherwise I would have had it on my wishlist for co-op 3rd person shooters sooner :<
Halo series
Gears of war series
Army of two
Risk of rain 2
I always loved ARC - Attack, Retrieve, Capture - originally from Hoopy Entertainment and then PopCap. You joined an ad hoc team and piloted a little flying saucer around a maze, shooting at the other team's saucers. It was super simple to learn and wonderfully addictive. Probably not around anymore. I knew the two guys who created it.
Killing floor 1/2, fps zombie horde killing.
Another doot for Remnant, really enjoyed the odd universe and two player coop.
Battlefront 2 multi player for mindless star wars pew pew fun.
You recommended killing floor before L4D2? Interesting.
Hasn't someone already suggested L4D2? I only played the first and was pretty offended when they promptly released the second and expected me to pay for it. They did eventually turn around and give it away but IIRC it was under a year from release and they expected me to buy a whole other game.
I was a bit cheesed too, but it's been umpteen billion years since then and you can grab l4d2 for about $2. It's time to let go.
Darktide is fire, it's a left 4 dead style game (horde shooter?). If you want 2d shooters, I really enjoyed Broforce and Huntdown (that one's a real gem)
Rainbow Six Vegas and Splinter Cell Blacklist and Chaos Theory were awesome for this - especially for 2 people.
If you have 4 then SWAT 4, Ready Or Not, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, ARMA 3.

Ink Inside On steam.
It's a couch co-op action RPG with ranged combat meets beat em up fights. Aesthetic is 2014 cartoon network, with a story based on a lost Nickelodeon pilot. Voice cast is solid with Brian David Gilbert too.
If it sounds interesting, could definitley be up your alley!
Earth Defence Force. Basically, you are participating in a B-movie scenario, with UFOs, kaiju, giant ants, flamethrower clams, and winged frogs. It is quite a good time, and the higher difficulties require genuine skill and cooperation.
EDF 6 is the best in the series from a gameplay standpoint, but is far weaker than 4 or 5 when it comes to the level design + narrative. Still, the QOL pushes the game to the next level, especially if you got pals to tackle the missions. There many different weapons, not just in power, but also shot pattern, reload style, knockback, and so forth. Also, there WILL be hundreds of enemies on onscreen at any given moment. Each of the four classes have very distinct characteristics when it comes to loadout, mobility, and purpose, so you should be able to find a good match for yourself.
Yeah. My kids and I play this together. It's a lot of fun. It's not as thinky as some other games but for a quick hour or two, it's a blast.
I'm not really sure EDF 6 is the best entry point to the series, as it's a direct sequel to EDF 5. I think it will get really confusing story- and missionwise, more so than it already is. EDF 5 was a soft reboot and is also a bit cheaper.
My friends and I really liked the WORLD BROTHERS 2 spinoff too, if someone is looking to play with a young player that might be a better starting point than the mainline games. The rest of the series spinoffs have not really done it for us.
Prodeus is a fun multiplayer DOOM-like with old school vibes
Is there a possibility to play a campaign in online coop?
Yup!
I still like warframe, even though it has a few headaches in there that make it more annoying than it needs to be. I don't want to trade my ducat fodder or passive rep for slots and potatoes every time a new update comes out. But I do like dressing up my space dolls and blasting my trumna for hours on end

Synthetik. Insane coop shooter that has the most dopamine inducing gameplay I've ever experienced.
Out of all the games here, this one is the absolute hidden gem. Because nobody has heard about it. But they absolutely should.
Which one are you referring to:
- Synthetik: Area (free to play): https://store.steampowered.com/app/984110/SYNTHETIK_Arena/
- Synthetik: Legion Rising: https://store.steampowered.com/app/528230/SYNTHETIK_Legion_Rising/
- Synthetik 2: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1471410/SYNTHETIK_2/
I’m interested in the top down kind of style, I was expecting an FPS but this could be fun.
I have played the 2nd one only. The 3rd one has the classic early access tag with the last update being released more than a year ago.
I only know about it because Ssethtzeentach made a video about it. Dude is the king of finding random games you've never heard of that are totally awesome. Kenshi, too.
