Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for June 2024

Christoph Licht

On top of that, you had the usual slew of releases hitting store shelves or leaving Steam Early Access behind them. With June behind us, it's time to take a look below at all the stuff you might've missed and hit up your friends for a nice long co-op session!

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for May 2024

Christoph Licht

Four years after its debut, Ghost of Tsushima released on PC, finally expanding the audience for this exquisite action-adventure game. A couple of days before but seven years after the stretch goal was met during the Kickstarter-campaign, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night got its co-op mode. While you can't play through the whole game together, it's still a welcome addition. Another title fans had been waiting a long time for (16 years!) was Endless Ocean Luminous. Finally, Switch owners can go back under sea and enjoy the view with up to 29 friends and/or strangers at their side. And to round out this month's trend, Homeworld 3 hit store shelves - 21 years after the second game. Thankfully, it has a co-op mode for up to three players. So in the end, the long wait was worth it :). Although... judging by what our dear Leader Nick is posting on our Discord server, he's enjoying the gorgeous graphics and the photo mode way more than the actual gameplay.

That's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. For the full picture, take a look below!

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for March 2024

It is, however, easy to only see the negatives. So, let's not dwell on them, and instead shine a light on a few beacons of hope this month:

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes - Beyond Co-op Preview

Paul Acevedo

Hundred Heroes is the product of a successful Kickstarter campaign. While this larger-scale game was in development, a prequel called Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising was released. That one was a 2.5D action RPG, but Hundred Heroes is a fully-fledged traditional JRPG with 3D environments and 2D sprites. The preview build we played is truly gorgeous, reminiscent of Square Enix's Octopath Traveler but with more detailed environments and larger sprites. The style should appeal to fans of classic role-playing games and modern RPG enthusiasts alike.

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for Februrary 2024

Our database meanwhile saw an increase of another 161 entries - in part thanks to all the interesting stuff we were able to check out during Steam Next Fest. Now we just hope that it won't take too long for those games to be actually released.

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for January 2024

Christoph Licht

I guess we'll never know the real reason. The low amount of new releases did however give us as bit of breathing room to play a couple of older titles with our friends. And our Database Master(tm) also "only" added 56 new entries to the database. So as always there's a silver lining :) .

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for December 2023

Christoph Licht

In that regard, December was, as expected, a bit on the lighter side in terms of new releases. But that doesn't mean there was nothing of note. Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader, for example, seems to be Owlcat's best work, yet. Hopefully, console players won't have to wait much longer for the arrival of the co-op mode. At least Xbox fans can bridge that time with Baldur's Gate III, having seen a surprise release for the platform during this year's Game Awards Show. The Anacrusis, meanwhile, left Early Access at the beginning of the month, and we can confirm that it has significantly improved since we first played it in January 2022. And on the virtual reality front, there came the release of Arizona Sunshine 2, the long-awaited sequel to the awesome co-op zombie shooter from 2016.

Powerextra Pro PlayStation 5 Faceplate Review

Paul Acevedo

Ask a dozen people, and 11 of them will tell you that the PlayStation 5 is not an attractive console. It's huge, awkward, and looks like a humidifier. One cool feature of the console's design, however, is the changeable cover. Replacing the shell in order to customize the console's appearance is surprisingly easy. One affordable re...

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for November 2023

Christoph Licht

So, what are some of the highlights? Well, after six years of quietly toiling away, developer The Behemoth is finally back with both a release of Alien Hominid HD for a new generation of consoles as well as the long-awaited sequel Alien Hominid Invasion. PowerWash Simulator VR, on the other hand, now allows would-be cleaners to dive even deeper into the experience, and Dungeon Keepers got a new fix in form of Dungeons 4. Meanwhile retro fans were able to rejoice over Berzerk: Recharged, the Double Dragon Collection AND the awesome Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection. Of course, we can't forget to also mention the sequel to one of our personal favorites: Risk of Rain Returns.
