10 Best Co-Op Campaigns In Video Game History

10. Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons

2019's Nintendo Switch release of Brothers allowed it to be played in two player mode, qualifying it as an official co-op game.

However, even with its original Xbox 360 and PS3 release, it was something of an honorary co-op. Back then, it was your thumbs co-operating with each other.

The game is a depressingly sad story of two brothers setting off on a journey to fetch medicinal water for their sick father, with the additional detail of their mother having drowned. The game even begins at the mother's tombstone.

There is a bright art style mixed in with this tone, and the obstacles you must overcome range from the ridiculous (an angry dog) to the tragic (talking a man out of suicide).

It's a puzzle platformer, one where the older brother is better at the jobs which require strength, and the younger better at agility and tight spaces. On the Switch version, it's one joycon per brother, meaning each player controls one or the other.

Back in the original though, each thumbstick was a brother, meaning you made to ensure they were co-operating by moving both in tandem.

Either way, it's one hell of a co-operative experience.
