10 Best Co-Op Horror Games to Make or Break Friendships
May 13, 2025
Here are our top picks for horror games that’ll keep you and your friends truly entertained.
While co-op horror has been around for years, from Left 4 Dead to White Noise, it’s only growing more popular—and we can thank Lethal Company for that. Zeekerss may not be the first to combine comedy with horror, but many are trying to replicate what made Lethal Company work. Some try and fail, others succeed, but we cannot forget where games like these came from.
Proximity chat is a must for co-op horror to ease the tension, add comedy, and incentivize teamwork. Bugs are an inevitability that can (so long as they’re not game-breaking) create memorable and hilarious moments. What makes co-op horror games truly special is their simplicity paired with somewhat janky controls. They scream authenticity, created as passion projects that feel as if a part of the developer’s soul was left behind in the code.
With that being said, here are 10 of the best horror games that you can play with friends.
Cry of Fear
Price: Free
Release date: April 25th, 2013
Originally a Half-Life mod, is a legendary horror game that offers a single-player and co-op mode, both being very different from one another. For those looking for an immersive and surrealistic nightmare, the single-player will keep you engaged from start to finish. But should you decide to venture into the horrors with a friend by your side, then you can play the campaign backwards in the search for Simon (the protagonist).
