Cult of the Lamb is a favorite here, and although it started out as a single-player game, it recently received an update that added local co-op mode. Thanks to Unholy Alliance Update: You can now summon a new playable character, Goat, so that a friend can help you in battle or with quests in the cult.
Cult of the Lamb it's kind of evil Animal Crossing. As the Lamb, you gather loyal followers who come to live in the village you must take care of, but you will also have to go on crusades to fight the bishops of the old faith who have sacrificed you in a misguided attempt to stop the prophecy. Once you add a player to co-op by selecting this option from the game menu, you and your friend (as Goat) will run around and interact with the environment in a shared screen rather than a split screen. . This works well for crusades where you can fight enemies side by side. If your partner gets injured to the point of draining all their hearts, you can bring them back by sacrificing one of your own.
WITH Cult of the Lamb There are post-game quests that involve replaying all areas you've previously completed, multiplayer is a fun way to approach this, especially if you try things out on a harder mode for subsequent playthroughs. Adding a co-player also unlocks new tarot cards, relics, and runes. Or you can start a new game and do everything together from scratch. Multiplayer is a little more finicky when it comes to managing a cult. Because you are screen sharing, interacting with followers may result in momentary interruptions to what the other player is doing. But you can still have a good time if you communicate and have a little patience. — Cheyenne McDonald, Weekend Editor
