7 Video Games Made HARDER With Co-op

Now everyone knows by now that the Portal games, despite their often hilarious nature, are no joke when it comes to brain-bending puzzles.

Venturing through the testing labs and beyond was never a dull experience as the player is challenged at every turn to think on their feet and be about twenty steps ahead in order to manipulate different portals and surfaces at a moment's notice. Therefore with such demanding gameplay, one can only feel their soul die a little trying to do all of this with another person in tow.

Attempting to convey to another player that they need to fire their portal at just the right time then move to another location and perform another action is basically like trying to give directions in a foreign country where you don't speak the language and the bridge you've just pointed to has now disappeared as bloody hell mate I didn't tell you to press the button just yet did I?

This is your life now, constantly trying to explain plans only to have them disintegrate thanks to either poor communication, timing, or just because your partner thinks it's funny to drop you into a boiling lake of metal-eating acids. I mean it totally is, but it's NOT HELPING.
