A buddy and I wanna play games together. We have tons fun doing comp-stomps like in Killing Floor 1, Left 4 Dead 2 or Mass Effect 3's multiplayer horde mode. Recently we played Overwatch, but that has the tendency to become stressful due to the nature of PVP. I know there's plenty of games on steam that have what we're looking for, but we don't have the cash to try one after another. Any recent-ish titles stand out? Preferably something we could sink a bunch of hours into together. We burned through the Borderlands games sorta quickly.

Thanks pals.

e: this is PC only. Sorry for misunderstanding!

Shadow Warrior 2 has co-op? Hot diggety drat

The Zombie Army Trilogy on Steam is actually surprisingly good, it turns out. Left 4 Dead but with semi-realistic bullet physics and more nazis.

If you liked Killing Floor 1 then its sequel is kind of a no-brainer.

And if you liked L4D2 then its spiritual sequel Vermintide is a no-brainer.*

Those two games are both kind of replayable horde shooters but seconding SW2 for a full co-op campaign, and while I haven't actually played it yet, Goons rave about Dying Light which will give you a huge open world to tool around in with your bud.

*Actually fairly dissimilar in terms of how it plays, VT being much more melee-oriented.

Also because it's got a variety of stages and goals, so you get a few breaks from pure shootmans.

Agree on Lost Planet 2. It's starting to show its age and it was always a bit janky but it's perfect for co op play.

Also heard zombie army trilogy was mindless shooting fun

Hmm, how shall I post today?

Fear 3 isn't a great game on your own but I've had a lot of fun with the co-op. One guy plays the shooty military guy with slo-mo and the other plays his weird ghost brother who gets to fly around possessing people and shooting ghost energy at people.

It's a fun ride, especially with the batshit story.

This is a really great game, playing this has led me to buy an Xbox one and three other games in that series.

I'm not a huge gamer and Sniper elite 4 (released 02/14/17) is the first game I can ever remember preordering.

FAKE EDIT: This is a PC title as well, but just thought I'd back up the recommendation.

Her Majesty's 56th Regiment of Foot
If you get them on sale, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Resident Evil 5, and COD WAW are all good, although relatively short coop experiences. RE5 is the best of the bunch, Vegas 2 is the kind of hilarious trainwreck that will have you laughing the entire time. WAW has like 95% of the campaign and also has zombies which is good for a couple more hours of fun.

earn brozefs with your brosuf

E.Y.E is like an insane version of Deus Ex mixed with Warhammer 40k run through a French -> English google translator. Steam says I played the game for 38 hours but I honestly can't tell you what the plot is. I do know that you blow up heads with warhammers, shoot chainguns, cast magic, summon werewolves, hack people's brains, earn brosefs (french money), get your own brain hacked, and travel to the moon to fight people in rice farmer hats. It goes on sale constantly for like 3 bux, but the normal price of $10 is still worth a play through with a co-op buddy.

The Division has plenty of PVE content now. It used to be that you had to PVP to get the better loot but there's been a lot of additions over the last bit that make it a worthwhile PVE game. If you get the season pass there's even more so. The new Survival mode comes in both PVE and PVP formats and is a lot of fun.

I love EYE, but isn't it almost impossible to get co-op going? I'd tried a few years ago but no dice.

I was actually considering putting this in my post but I figured it was too different from what the OP was looking for. Definitely seconding this game though.

I was definitely able to join servers back in the day but I spent most of my play time SP anyway.

Seconding the recommendation, for all its thorns it's probably my favorite FPS, just don't go in expecting a stealth game
