Dark co-op hidden gems
Shared dread runs through these dark co-op hidden gems, where you and friends hold together against places that want you apart. In CRYO you divide jobs inside empty stations while something listens, in System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster you clear haunted decks side by side, and in Perennial Order you learn boss patterns as a pair. Expect close coordination, short calls and tense extractions built for small squads.
