Borderlands 1-2 (2009, 2012)

- Multiplayer: 4-player online co-op
If you want to play with friends in the recently released Borderlands 3, but your machine, due to its capabilities, does not share this desire, why not replay the first two parts of the series?
Borderlands is a looter-shooter where you'll be shooting enemies, leveling up, and looking for powerful guns and gear. Unlike the previous entry on the list, in Borderlands, you can invite three of your friends instead of just one.
- To play through the first part of the series, you'll practically need a calculator:
- Processor: no worse than Pentium 4 at 2 GHz
- RAM: from 1 GB
- Graphics Card: any with more than 256 MB of memory
- For the second part, something more powerful than a calculator:
- Processor: any with a frequency of 2.4 GHz or higher
- RAM: from 2 GB
- Graphics Card: any with more than 512 MB of memory
Killing Floor
- Genre: Action, Shooter, Horror
- Platforms: PC
- Multiplayer: 6-player online co-op
Another shooter on our list, and this time you can bring along up to 5 friends!
In Killing Floor, your team will need to fend off waves of incoming enemies. Depending on the mode and map you choose, there can be from 4 to 10 such attacks, after each of which you'll face a boss. Between the waves of enemies, you'll have the opportunity to buy more powerful weapons, thereby making life easier for yourself.
System Requirements:
- Processor: any with a frequency of 1.2 GHz or higher
- RAM: from 1 GB
- Graphics Card: any with more than 64 MB of memory
Left 4 Dead 2
- Genre: Action, Shooter, Horror
- Platforms: PC, Xbox 360
- Multiplayer: 4-player online co-op, 8-player online multiplayer
Let's not forget the times when Valve released more than one game every 10 years. Left 4 Dead 2 was released in 2009 and immediately won the love of players around the world. After all, what could be better than killing hundreds of zombies in the company of three friends.
In addition to regular zombies, the game features their mutated variants acting as mini-bosses, which are better and easier to deal with with the help of your comrades. It's worth noting that you can also experience being a living dead and cause quite a bit of trouble for human players.
If you missed Left 4 Dead 2 for some reason, now is a great time to get acquainted with it.
System Requirements:
- Processor: any with a clock speed of 3 GHz or higher
- RAM: from 2 GB
- Graphics Card: any with more than 128 MB of memory
