10 Must-Play Co-Op Games for People With Real-Life Schedules

Picture this: It’s Thursday at 7:42 p.m. You finally have two friends in the same voice call. Someone’s cat is walking across their keyboard, and a third friend is still stuck in a meeting, but you’re here, and you’re ready to game. There’s a problem, though: Many of today’s most popular co-op games ask a lot of their players. And often, you simply don’t have a lot of time or headspace to give. You need a co-op game that fits the time and energy you and your squad actually have. Good news: Plenty of those exist.
