Left 4 Dead
Probably the first games that come to mind when thinking about co-op shooters, especially four-player ones, would be the Left 4 Dead games.
With each player choosing one of the game’s unique characters and everyone coming together to take on missions that see you tackle hordes of zombies, there was so much fun to be had.
Each character had their own skills and weapons that needed to be used to not only kill the undead, but also help keep everyone on your team alive. Melee weapons, guns, healing items, and traps all came together to add variety to every mission and character.
Then, there were enemy types that needed to be approached in different ways. By working together, you and your friends needed to solve puzzles and work out how to take down particularly dangerous enemies.
It all had a lighthearted tone too, though, that made playing together and smashing zombies’ heads in a lot of fun.
