Co-op games, short for cooperative games, are video games where players work together towards a common goal. These games can be played online or locally, allowing friends or family to team up to complete missions, solve puzzles, or defeat enemies. The focus is on collaboration rather than competition, fostering teamwork and communication among players. Many co-op games feature unique mechanics that require players to combine their skills and strategies. Popular examples include Overcooked, where players manage a chaotic kitchen, and Minecraft, which allows players to build and explore together. These games often enhance social interaction and create shared experiences.
