Sometimes we like to enjoy games with our nearest and dearest so that we can have a hand to hold while you become the number one team to beat on a game’s co-op option. Games can be great to play solo, such as Far Cry 5 and God of War, or even something more light-hearted like Detective Pikachu, but multiplayer, whether you’re with or against your friends, can offer a competitive edge many gamers have.
2018 has brought along some of the best games for co-op. If you wish to load up and storm a battlefield, jump into the sidecar with Nintendo’s favorite plumber, or maybe you are more into games like shell shockers, no matter what there’s a game to entertain even the choosiest of gamers. Here are the top 5 games for gamers who have a competitive nature.
Fortnite Battle Royale
Although released in 2017, Fortnite is continuing to make waves in the gaming world. The aim of this particular game is a cooperative shooter-survival game, where up to 100 players fight in a battlefield which is designed to get smaller as the battle wages on until there’s one person standing at the end. The game mechanics ensure that battle is fast-paced, as if you fall behind the barrier and fail to make ground so that you’re in the confinements of the battlefield, you’re knocked out.
Many celebrities have said to play Fortnite Battle Royale, helping this game to become an online cultural phenomenon, where it is believed 125 million players log on to play this particular game.
