The "We Were Here" series is a fun puzzle co-op game. The first one's free if you want to try before you buy.

Assuming Steam?

• Halo, obviously. Master Chief Collection is pretty cheap to pick up these days, don't miss out on the Halo 3 ODST DLC.

• Ready Or Not can be a challenge with just two people, but it is very rewarding to get a good score.

• Zero Hour is very similar to Ready Or Not, but it has different features and I find it a bit easier.

• Deep Rock Galactic

• Risk of Rain 2

• Elden Ring (Seamless Coop Mod is highly recommended)

• Monster Hunter World (include Iceborn DLC)

• Generation Zero

• Project Zomboid (if you like this one you'll probably sink hundreds of hours into it)

• theHunter Call of the Wild (chill hunting shooter)

• Farming Simulator 2019 (new ones may be better, haven't researched)

• Barotrauma

• Factorio

• Elite Dangerous

• Green Hell

• The Forest

• Sons of the Forest

• Morrowind has an OpenMW fork that supports multiplayer, if you get it set up this can be a fun game to play

I believe the entirety of the Gears of War series has a co op mode

Also if you don't know anything about the series like I did before playing Gears 5 with my kids, don't play it with kids....

PlateUp can be fun in 2 player co-op. If you've played Overcooked, its basically a clone of that, but turned into a roguelike. Its not the longest or deepest, but its still solid, and the price is very fair IMO, esspecially if you get it on sale.

It's a very different experience, but have you considered Baldur's Gate 2?

Grounded

Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2

Edit: Oh, Neverwinter Nights

Diablo 4

BattleBlock Theater is a good action platformer that has coop.

Escape Room Simulator is a good 3d puzzle game that can be played coop as well.

Satisfactory

The Division 2 is fantastic co-op and often gets put on sale.

Dying Light

Portal 2?

It's not very long, but it has an entire co-op campaign that's completely inaccessible without a 2nd player.

Since you enjoyed BG3, I'd strongly recommend Divinity: Original Sin 1&2 if you have not played them already.

Other than that, a few random suggestions with sizeable coop campaigns:

• Outriders
• The Ascent
• Remnant 1&2
• Resident Evil 5&6
• Saints Row 3&4
• Trine 1-5
• Valheim

Check out Larian's other masterpiece, Divinity: Original Sin II. Original Sin I is great as well, but a little dated.

The whole We Were Here series is marvelous. Asymmetrical co-op puzzle games. My friend and I’s recent games list looks very similar to this.

We also do a lot of single player games with one of us streaming over discord. When it’s a slow-burn puzzle or mystery game, it doesn’t really matter who is actually controlling.

For those types, I really recommend Return of the Obra Dinn. We’re currently working our way through the entire Frogwares Sherlock Holmes collection. The old ones are so terrible, which is a greatness all by itself.

My son and i play weekly. Heres our faves

Deep rock galactic

Helldivers II

Enshrouded

Remnant and remnant II

Valheim

It's an old game, but Pixel Junk: Monsters is a ton of fun as a co-op tower defense. Don't bother with the sequel - s'bad.
