Aliens: Colonial Marines

Playing together in co-op

A first-person shooter set in the Aliens universe where you fight xenomorphs and mercenaries as a Colonial Marine, solo or in co-op. Known for leaning on the franchise's atmosphere, but also for its technical and design shortcomings.

Evolve

Co-op or multiplayer

An asymmetrical 4v1 shooter where four role-based hunters track a player-controlled monster that evolves during the match. Teamwork and cat-and-mouse play are the heart of it.

Livelock

Playing together in co-op

A cooperative top-down shooter where you and up to two friends pilot robot bodies as machine intelligences through frantic firefights in a war of machines. Loot, abilities and teamwork drive the action.

Earth Defense Force 5

Playing together in co-op

A gleefully cheesy third-person arcade shooter where you, alone or in co-op, mow down enormous swarms of giant insects and robots with a huge arsenal. B-movie charm, mass destruction and weapon collecting define the fun.

Helldivers

Co-op or multiplayer

A top-down shooter for up to four players where teamwork is everything: you input stratagem codes to call in airstrikes and supplies, and friendly fire constantly threatens chaos. The satirical militaristic-democracy setting gives it a tongue-in-cheek tone.

The Red Solstice

Co-op or multiplayer

A co-op top-down tactical shooter with RPG elements set on Mars, where up to eight marines fight alien hordes together. Class choice, gear and teamwork decide success.
