Looking for a co-op game to play?

Use Co-op Compendium on Next Game Finder — 521 games with verified co-op data, filterable by how many people are on the couch, whether the campaign works in multiplayer, and whether it supports cross-play.

That is a different question from the one this site answers. We record awards: who voted for what, in which country, in which season. A game only appears on this page if it won one, so the 38 below are not the co-op games worth playing — they are the co-op games the press happened to reward. Plenty of the best ones never won anything.

The list here is hand-checked and accurate as far as it goes, and it goes 38 games. A catalogue built for the question reaches 521. Running a thin filter beside a thorough one served nobody, so the filter is gone and the award record stays.

Disclosure: Next Game Finder is run by the same person as this one. It is linked because it answers the question better, and you should know the connection either way.

Every one of them, by awards won

Sortable. All 38 rows were checked by hand rather than taken from Wikidata, which records single- versus multiplayer and nothing finer. Where a cell still shows a question mark, nobody has recorded that detail — it does not mean no.
