Last night the crew dove into Back 4 Blood a day before its official release. It's the perfect time of year for a game like this and we were immediately reminded what makes these experiences so special. And while on the surface its easy to see Turtle Rock Studios return to the Left 4 Dead formula from many years ago, Back 4 Blood definitely feels like a modern shooter.
Last night our crew of four dove into the recently released Diablo II remaster, Diablo II: Resurrected. For many of us it was a trip down memory lane as we were all in our prime high school or early college age. It was a time when games actually were sold in stores in giant boxes and DVDs were considered cutting edge.
We're back with the second campaign of our Back 4 Blood preview. We head into the countryside and take on the Blue Dog Hollow mission Bad Seeds.
This week for our co-op stream we looked at Aliens: Fireteam Elite, the three player co-op shooter from developer Cold Iron Studios. The co-opticrew sort of slept on this one, but once we landed planet-side we realized that there's a good ol' fashioned fun game to be had here.
The first Puyo Puyo Tetris cleverly combined two classic falling block puzzle franchises, but it almost stayed in Japan. I wrote an import guide for the Japanese Xbox version! The first game did eventually make it to English markets on some platforms, but not poor Xbox. Thankfully, Sega has seen fit to release Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 in English on ...
Sonic Colors: Ultimate is a remake of a well-liked Sonic game that many gamers missed out on the first time around. Now that it's available on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC, Sonic fans will be speeding through 3D levels and collecting rings just like the good old days. Sonic Colors: Ultimate offers a 2-player local co-op mode...
This week for our co-op stream we played a wholesome family co-op game about remodeling a house with friends. Unfortunately it was spoiled by an asshole raccoon that decided to throw everything we owned into the river. Seriously. It's Tools Up!
Time for some finale action in our Back 4 Blood preview. It has been a minute, but this one is a doozy and has some great set pieces as we head to the final chapter in The Devil's Return campaign.
We've partnered with the folks over at All In! Games for an exclusive giveaway to our loyal Co-Optimus readers. We've got a package of goodies for the couch co-op game Tools Up! to give away to five lucky folks. Here's what you'll get.
Welcome back to our co-op preview for Black 4 Blood. In this week's episode we work our way though the third level titled "Pain Train" and clear out the infestation in an abandoned trainyard.
The four player Co-Opticrew is finally back together. After more than two months, we've got a proper four player co-op stream recap for your enjoyment. Up this week is The Ascent, the four player co-op action-rpg twin-stick shooter on PC and Xbox Series. The cyberpunk themed game may be the prettiest game we've played this year, but looks aren't exactly everything.
It's time to get the flashlights out because we have our second mission from our Back 4 Blood preview. We set our sights on the "Tunnel of Blood" mission from "The Devil's Return" campaign.
