Co-op games work best when the game is built around depending on each other. Some do that through shooting and survival, others through puzzles, platforming or plain kitchen chaos. Before you pick, decide who you are playing with and how much friction you want. Partners who rarely play games will have a better time with something colorful and forgiving, while a group of veterans may want a real challenge.
For story-focused pairs, It Takes Two and Split Fiction are both two-player platformers with puzzle elements and strong story tags, and both are on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. A Way Out is the more grounded, cinematic option, with a stealth and emotional tone. If you want laughs and shouting, Overcooked! and Overcooked! 2 are colorful comedy puzzle games where coordination is the whole point. We Were Here suits two players who enjoy talking through puzzles in an atmospheric, mysterious setting.
If your group wants action, Left 4 Dead 2 is a classic co-op shooter with a horror and post-apocalyptic mood. Helldivers 2 mixes sci-fi shooting with comedy and carries a Difficult tag, so expect to fail together. Borderlands 2 adds Action RPG elements to the shooting, and Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a dark fantasy option that is also tagged Difficult. Check platforms too, since R.E.P.O. and the Left 4 Dead games are not on every system.
