7 Best Indie Co-op
Journey
Developer: Thatgamecompany
Genre: Adventure
Platforms: PlayStation 4, iOS, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3
The game takes place in a desert where the purpose is to reach the top of a mountain, and the main character uses a scarf that makes him use skills that can be charge over some sources.
This is an incredible co-op game because you can’t talk or text the other player that entered your game. They can charge each other scarves, can show the path to each other, and if they pass a level together they stay with each other.
When playing in co-op the characters look the same and can be identified by the symbols which appear in the air while they sing.
Reviews:
“An incredible, emotional game”
“A glorious, thoughtful, moving masterpiece”
“One of the most amazing game experiences of my life”

The name says everything. It’s a cooking game, yes but it’s an action-cooking game! The co-op has a maximum of 4 players, and you’ll have to cook in several conditions that make the game so much harder than a regular cooking game.
The Overcooked 1 doesn’t have a co-op online, but the sequel has and it’s awesome.
