What is Sea of Thieves? In Sea of Thieves, you embody a true pirate and sail the seas with your own ship. You can choose whether it should be a small sloop, a slightly larger two-masted ship, or a huge galleon.
Depending on this is also your crew size: You can play Sea of Thieves either alone, with your friends, or via matchmaking with pirates from all over the world.
For whom is the game suitable? The adventure is just right for players who want to explore deserted islands and creepy caves with their own ship and not take themselves too seriously. Sea of Thieves doesn’t hold back on humor. Treasure maps only give their hints in rhymes, and if an enemy or an opposing player gets too close, you can throw your own vomit at them among other things.
But players who enjoy coordinating with others will also find satisfaction in the pirate game. A ship needs to be steered, maps read, and cannons fired. Depending on the size of the ship, all crew members have a lot to do during the sailing.

What is A Way Out? A Way Out is a co-op action-adventure that tells the story of the convicted prisoners Leo and Vincent. They want to escape from prison and have a thrilling, film-like escape from the law enforcers.

There is no singleplayer mode. A Way Out was designed from the ground up as a co-op game. You can play together in “couch co-op” or online.
For whom is the game suitable? The game is ideal for you if you want to experience an engaging story together with a friend. Your decisions not only influence your character but also the character taken over by your co-player. Coordination and cooperation are therefore essential.
Moreover, it is not necessary for both players to own the game: thanks to Friend Pass, the person who purchased A Way Out can invite a friend to play along.

What is Conan Exiles? Conan Exiles is a survival MMO in the rough barbarian setting of Conan the Barbarian. You are convicted criminals sent into exile to die. But Conan himself frees you. Now, you have to fight your way through the “Exiled Lands”.
In classic survival style, you start with nothing on your body (and nudity is highly emphasized in Conan Exiles) and somehow must survive. You build your own little or large dwelling, craft armor and weapons, and enslave animals and NPCs as companions.
The goal is to escape the Exiled Lands. To do so, you will embark on a journey that guides you through ever-greater dangers, eventually allowing you to leave the cursed land.
For whom is the game suitable? Conan Exiles is a game for those who appreciate it raw and tough. The environment offers little forgiveness and is a constant threat. The setting is rough and clearly aimed at an adult audience.
Although PvP is a significant aspect of Conan Exiles, there is also the option to play peacefully with others or even alone. So if you enjoy immersing yourself in a vast world, exploring and fighting, or just stepping into the footsteps of a barbaric legend, you’re in good hands with Conan Exiles.
How is the game received by you? Conan Exiles made it to 18th place on our list. 159 players, or 8.22% of participants, voted for it.

What is Portal 2? In the campaign of Portal 2, you must once again undergo the dark tests of Aperture Science and the deranged computer system GLaDOS. Apart from that, there is a co-op mode in which you play as Atlas, a modified personality sphere, and P-Body, a modified turret.
The two act as lab rats for the new tests devised by GLaDOS and must solve them with plenty of brainpower and cooperation.
The game can be played together either on the couch in split-screen or online.
For whom is the game suitable? Puzzle lovers are always well served with the Portal series. In co-op mode, lateral thinkers and puzzle masters can now tinker together at the diabolical tests.
Communication is crucial since each player is responsible for one portal color. Overall, you have four portals at your disposal, which can lead to utter chaos at times. To use the portals correctly and successfully solve the puzzles, constant communication is essential.
The puzzles get more challenging each time and require more brainpower, spatial thinking, and creativity.
How is the game received by you? Apparently, we have some Portal fans among our ranks. 8.37% of the participants voted for the puzzle game, equating to 162 votes.

For whom is the game suitable? ARK is suitable for survival fans who have always wanted to contend with giant prehistoric creatures.
