55 Best Co-op Games for Low-End PCs

Police Stories is a tactical game about police officers responding to dangerous calls and trying to stop criminals. The criminals might take hostages, mine buildings, or engage in illegal trade — and they are not willing to surrender without a fight.

The problem is that the cops are extremely vulnerable. One wrong decision, and the gangsters will immediately send the law enforcers to the other side. Therefore, it's important to act wisely: peek into doorways, throw flash grenades into rooms, watch your back, and cover your partner. Only coordinated teamwork will lead to victory.

Police Stories is designed exclusively for cooperative play. Fortunately, finding a partner is easy — after all, the game has very modest system requirements.

The Trine series has been entertaining gamers for 13 years now. Throughout this time, the developers have been refining mechanics and inventing new puzzles. It is in Trine 4 that they polished the formula to perfection, earning 91 percent positive reviews on Steam.

The platformer's main strength lies in its clever puzzles, which can only be solved by utilizing the heroes' strengths. Fire, air, light, magnets, electricity — if you manage the elements skillfully, you can pave the way forward.

The gameplay is diversified by battles with enemies, some of which are huge and frightening. In fights against mighty monsters, mutual assistance is essential: for example, a wizard can ignite an archer's arrow to help make a deadly shot.

With these mechanics, Trine 4 can easily charm a group of up to four people with its ease and originality. If you like the game, you might also want to check out the previous parts — in terms of requirements, they are even more accessible than the fourth installment.

Terraria from a top-down perspective or a mix of Rimworld and Terraria — that's how you can describe Necesse. The project is in early access but boasts an abundance of content, interesting, albeit simple, mechanics, and a vast open world.

The developers have completed the roadmap, adding everything they planned to the game: a challenge mode, cooperative play, additional characters, items, and mechanics.

Combined with a unique visual style and an interesting narrative approach, the project can captivate a group of players for many evenings without requiring a powerful computer.

Mindustry can be described as Factorio on minimal settings, but with tower defense. Build resource extraction factories, set up production of machinery and defense structures, unlock new technologies, and capture sectors to eventually seize one of several planets, taking it from the enemy.

Flexible co-op settings allow for both joint defense against the enemy and PvPvE battles, competing for a place under the sun.
