Zombie Army 4: Dead War arrives on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One next week, and ahead of its impending release we've got a preview of what to expect from Rebellion's arcade shooter. Join us as we play through the first Story chapter and then switch over to the Horde Mode.
With the hustle and bustle that comes with last few months of the year, there are cases where good co-op games slip under our radar. Children of Morta absolutely falls into this category. Fortunately, we took some time this past Monday to rectify that and if you haven't checked out this action-RPG rogue-lite, then now's a good time for you to rectify it as well.
The Darksiders franchise got a new entry last week on the PC (console version is coming February 2020) with Darksiders: Genesis, an isometric, twin-stick shooter-ish, action/adventure game. While the gameplay has changed a bit from the previous third-person action titles, there's a lot that's familiar and the new format works. Best of all, you can play with a buddy online or on the couch!
Knights of Unity released their cooperative renovation game, Tools Up!, earlier this week, so Locke and Jason decided to don their hard hats and tool belts, roll up their sleeves, and get to work under Mike's careful (?) supervision.
As you've probably seen from our past few "Weekend in Gaming" posts, many of us can't get enough of the Shadowkeep expansion for Destiny 2. Last week, Bungie kicked off the annual "Festival of the Lost," which is basically the in-game version of Halloween, as well as the new three player dungeon, "Pit of Heresy." We decided to hop into both of these to get into the spooky spirit... a few days after Halloween.
This week, Locke and Jason donned their snowsuits, grabbed their walkie-talkies, and set out into the Antarctic to solve some puzzles in We Were Here Together. The third entry in the We Were Here series arrived last week and while there are a few bugs to be worked out still, the fun co-op puzzle solving is still really good.
Some of us just can't get enough of Remnant: From the Ashes, so we decided to dive once more into Gunfire Games' action-RPG for our weekly "Let's Play Co-Op" stream. Mike, Locke, and Jason try to convince Nick that this really is the Dark Souls game for him. His response is above.
The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game (formerly The Living Card Game) saw its full release on the PC a couple weeks ago, so for this week's "Let's Play Co-Op" stream, Tally and Jason dove in to see how this interpretation fairs against the tabletop version.
If you missed our weekly stream this week, which happened Tuesday night instead of Monday because Monday was holiday in the U.S., no worries! We've got a handy recap of all the co-op goodness from Remnant: From the Ashes, along with some impressions of the first few hours.
The Blackout Club leaves Early Access today, so what better time to revisit this cooperative, first-person, stealth horror game? Locke, Mike, and Jason took a trip down spooky memory lane last week to see how things were looking before it hit version 1.0.
Novarama's Killsquad made its debut just ahead of this year's E3, and this week, it's hit Steam Early Access for all to play. Last week, Mike, Jason, and Nick got a little time with the title before it launched into the realm of "early access," and came away impressed.
Last month, Gearbox announced/revealed new DLC for Borderlands 2 titled "Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary." This add-on content provides a bit of a story bridge between the end of Borderlands 2 and the start of the forthcoming Borderlands 3. With not many new co-op releases these days, we decided to hop into the DLC and see how Pandora looks nearly 7 years later...
The final bit of content for Year 2 of Destiny 2 dropped a few weeks ago: the Season of Opulence. The big attraction this time around for all Annual Pass holders is the new six-player matchmade activity, The Menagerie. This "raid-lite" experience challenges your fireteam to progress through a series of objectives before facing a boss at the end. All of that is pretty fun, but it gets better: your rewards for completing all this is to "choose your own loot."
