PC local Co-op games

[Cyan]

my 5 y.o. and 7 y.o. nephews played F1 24, Lego City Undercover, Kopanito Soccer and Rocket League today.

They asked if I have 2 games in particular, BeamNG.drive and Woobly Life. It's not the first time they ask about these two games, specifically, and Woobly Life has local co-op. Both games have Overwhelmingly Positive reviews.

BeamNG.drive has some kind of local co-op. Interesting.......

SplitScreen? :: BeamNG.drive General Discussions

Can One play splitscreen mode ? Or do they have to buy 2 copy to play together? Also, does this game have race against bot? Destructive car + race + bot + Splitscreen = Imagonnabuyit

Woobly Life, judging by the Steam trailers, seems hilarious and fun to play with other people.

hope they realise how important local co-op is.

I mean, my two nephews are the greatest example of this, they are brothers and like to play together. They enjoy watching one another at times, but it's far from ideal, they always like to play together.

some colleagues are playing Elden Ring using the Seamless Co-op mod for Elden Ring, which allows up to 6 players to play together. And they are actually 6, a full party.

Seamless Co-op (Elden Ring)

Overhaul to the co-operative aspect of Elden Ring's multiplayer

www.nexusmods.com

Seamless co-operative play​

Simply put, the mod allows you to play with friends throughout the entirety of the game with no restrictions. With this, it's theoretically possible to play the game from the tutorial up to the final boss completely in one co-op session.

• If a player dies, they will respawn in the same world at the last bonfire they rested at. The session will not be terminated.
• Defeating enemy bosses and clearing areas no longer sends co-operators home.
• All fog walls/barriers that usually restrict the multiplayer zone (along with their respective teleports) are gone.
• All players can use torrent (assuming they have the whistle) in a session together.
• All map waypoints will synchronise, allowing you to navigate the world in a group easier.
• All NPC dialogue and talk events will be synchronised
• When one player rests at a Site of Grace, the world state will reset for all players
• Game progression events completed in online play will also progress the game in your own world.
• You can play with 5 other players in the open world.
• An overhaul to Elden Ring's Peer-to-Peer connection system, using Steam's newer networking API

Players are free to explore the entire game map (overworld, underground, legacy dungeons, etc.) together, and may split up if they wish

Quality of life improvements​

Along with core function of this mod, there are a number of quality of life improvements that you might like:

• As the mod runs the game with Easy Anti-Cheat disabled. You are free to use other mods (e.g. game overhauls) with your friends, provided that everyone in the party has them installed. Please be respectful to your fellow co-operators, and refrain from using mods if they are not welcome.
• Frequent disconnections resulting in packet loss and bugs with Elden Ring's implementation of Easy Anti-Cheat are no longer an issue.
• A streamlined connection system means that co-operators can join the host from anywhere in the world. So even if you do disconnect, you can very quickly re-join and continue where you left off.
