Bonus points if it has a good story. Also, I'm not going to play DRM-controlled games

Left 4 Dead 2!

If your into realistic FPS games then you want to go with bodycam, 6 days or if you want a solid mix between realistic and not so realistic then Insurgency Sandstorm is good.

But if you want good lore then start with doom and work your way up the series.

Rock and stone!

(Deep Rock galactic) The most fun coop fps in my opinion

Third person, not first: It Takes Two is adorable. The developers, Hazelight Studios, also made A Way Out. They specialise in co-op and they're working on a new game, Split Fiction. It Takes Two, as of May 29th, is DRM-free on Steam and Steam Deck, and hopefully the new one will follow

Split Fiction came out a few days ago and is excellent. My wife and I are a good way into it already and are enjoying it every bit as much as we enjoyed It Takes Two.

third person but I'd strongly recommend warframe

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2

Killing Floor

Deep Rock Galactic

Halo is the all time best co-op shooter hands down. The lore is surprisingly deep and the story telling is top notch.

Of course I am referring to 1, 2, 3, odst, and reach.

3 and on support 4 player co-op. All are in the master chief collection. Added bonus that odst is like an unofficial firefly reunion

Fyi, afaik Halo MCC supports 2 player coop on Halo: CE, and 4 player coop on the other games. That said, they removed split-screen on the PC version. Supposedly they keep saying they'll add it back eventually but, well, "eventually" has yet to happen.

That said, I've read there's a mod for native split screen now so you don't have to do the awkward Nucleus Coop stuff. I haven't tried it though, so ymmv.

Thanks for this. Removing the split screen from the PC version was one of the worst decisions I've seen for a game remake.
