Co-op games work best when the game gives each player a real job. Some do that through teamwork under pressure, others through two-player stories, and a few just through chaos you can laugh about afterward. Before you pick, decide how many people you will play with, since several games here are built around exactly two players while others suit bigger groups.
For a story you play from start to finish with one partner, It Takes Two, Split Fiction and A Way Out are the closest matches. It Takes Two and Split Fiction mix platforming with puzzles in colorful settings, while A Way Out is a more cinematic, emotional crime story with stealth. If you want something loud and quick to pick up, Overcooked! and Overcooked! 2 turn cooking into comedy and puzzle-solving, and they reward good communication. We Were Here is a better fit for a quieter, atmospheric puzzle night.
If your group wants action, Left 4 Dead 2 is a classic co-op shooter with horror and post-apocalyptic zombies. Helldivers 2 and Warhammer: Vermintide 2 are both tagged as difficult, so they suit players who like to coordinate and push through tough missions. Think about difficulty and tone too: if your partner is new to games, the two-player story titles and Overcooked! are usually the easier starting points than the harder shooters.
It Takes Two, Split Fiction and A Way Out are all built around two-player co-op with a strong story. Pick It Takes Two or Split Fiction for platforming and puzzles, or A Way Out for a cinematic crime story.
Left 4 Dead 2 and Helldivers 2 are both multiplayer co-op shooters that suit teams. Overcooked! 2 is a lighter, funnier option if you want comedy and puzzle-style teamwork.
Helldivers 2 and Warhammer: Vermintide 2 are both tagged as difficult, so they reward coordination. We Were Here also depends on communication, though through puzzles instead of combat.
