Borderlands is a fantastic "loot shooter" series, but it's also a first-person shooter. What are gamers who can't enjoy FPS games to do? Enter Flying Wild Hog and publisher Jagex, whose new early access co-op game Space Punks looks just like Borderlands but with a third-person perspective. The game is Epic Games Store exclusive but will eventually come to consoles as well. Also, it will probably be free to play at some point.

Last night Jason and I checked out one of the five new co-op missions in Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition. We settled in on the Battle of Hastings which took place in 1066 between the French-Norman army led by William, Duke of Normandy and the English king Harold. Of course like any good historical strife, it's not as cut and dry as a two way battle for the throne.

Directing traffic in real life seems like it would be challenging and unfun. One wrong mistake and a bus full of nuns drives right off a bridge. There wasn't even a bridge there! Anyway, difficult jobs can make for fun games, as is the case with Urban Flow from Baltoro Games. This local co-op puzzle game of managing the traffic signals at busy intersections first launched on Switch, but it's finally coming to other platforms this year.

Zelda fans are naturally excited for this month's release of Skyward Sword HD. Maybe they're even playing Skellboy Refractured in co-op while they wait. Thanks to Rainbite and Eastasiasoft, we have another Zelda-style game to look forward to in July as well. Trigger Witch combines the style of a 16-bit action-adventure with twin-stick shooting and local co-op, and it's coming to consoles at the end of the month.

For co-op enthusiasts, Zombies mode is always a highlight of Call of Duty games. The Zombies mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has slowly been telling the intricate story of Requiem, a CIA faction dedicated to sealing dimensional breaches and saving the world from a zombie apocalypse.

Blightbound is a robust and stylish action RPG from Ronimo Games (makers of Awesomenauts) and Devolver Digital that launched on Steam Early Access one year ago.

Even better, it will launch on not just PC, but Xbox and PlayStation 4 as well.
