Bland and mostly harmless, World War Z is another co-op zombie shooter that you could play.
Weedcraft, Inc is a tricky tycoon game that overextends itself—but almost nails it.
Repetitive and middling, Crackdown 3 is a totally average open-world game that doesn't give itself a way to stand out.
A obsessively tuned, finely crafted shooter that more than recreates the speed and pure joy of '90s classics.
The Walking Dead gets the zombies and the theme just right, but everything else is a mess.
An empty galaxy and endless grinding mar clever writing and engaging combat.
A bare-bones basic shooter that's good for some fun with friends, but there are other, better co-op adventures out there.
KSP's sandbox gets bigger by focusing on what makes it a great PC game: flexibility, freedom, and random explosions.
An excellent beat-em-up with tons of wit and great combat, Full Metal Furies belongs on any couch co-op playlist.
Tartarus shows off some excellent puzzles aboard a disappointingly empty spaceship, but it's usually more charming than frustrating.
A bloated, grindy mess, but so packed with options that a better game is hidden inside it.
Half enjoyable adventure, half clunky mess, Beat Cop is a talented rookie in need of a long talk with HR.
Don't let some clunky inventories scare you off from this excellent strategy RPG.
An unsatisfying, forced march through the source material.
Persistent bugs, a convoluted interface, and incompetent colonists hold back a great premise.
The setting is great, but weak combat and limited choices stop this RPG from going anywhere fun.
An ARPG with weak combat and too many bugs, Bombshell isn't worth your click-click-clicks.
A wonderfully executed, brilliantly stressful reinvention of party-based dungeon-crawling, Darkest Dungeon is great fun, even when it's cruel.
The graphics get a little prettier, the story gets a little darker, and another Call of Duty counts time as we march together toward death.
Vermintide is a brilliant twist on the Left 4 Dead formula, and deserves much of the same praise heaped on Valve.
