Sometimes you want to have a good time with a friend and other times you don't. For the purposes of this list, we stuck to games that are not considered to be competitive multi-player games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Rainbow Six Siege. The games below give a great co-op experience without the threat of random strangers mowing you down. All of these can be played on PS4 or PS5.
One of the best franchises when it comes to co-op play is the Borderlands series. Even if you and your friends are playing as the same character, no two will ever be the same. If you want to help save the galaxy, you will need some friends. The third entry in the series is the best in the series and is recommended.
One of the best games of the year is It Takes Two. The game shows characters trying to repair their marriage through a magical adventure for the sake of their unhappy daughter Rose. In local and online co-op, players will experience levels that contain a series of mini games that keep things interesting. The levels have power-ups that only one of the two players can use, which increases replayability. It Takes Two is one of the best games of the year, and you and a partner will enjoy it immensely.
When it was first revealed, A Way Out made waves. It was not the type of experience players were used to since it requires you to play with a friend. Two inmates attempt to escape from a prison, but only with the help of each other. You can play A Way Out online or through local co-op. There are some memorable moments and twists in the game, and it is fun to play.
