In the latest episode of the Co-Op Critics podcast, Brian and Nick discuss our game of the month, The Division, look at some of May’s releases, and and talk about Nick’s new gaming PC.
You can listen to the episode right here in the player above, or check us out on iTunes and Spreaker. You can also listen to back episodes on our podcast page.
NOTE: The game of the month for May on Co-Op Critics will be Dark Souls III. We’ll be featuring videos all month and a podcast at the end of May to discuss our thoughts on the game.
May has arrived, and with it comes not flowers, but some of the biggest game releases of the year so far. Here’s our list of games we’re excited about for May:
Battleborn (Xbox One, PS4, PC)–May 3
We’re big Borderlands fans here at Co-Op Critics, and Gearbox’s new first-person shooter with MOBA elements is interesting, for sure. An opening roster of 25 characters, a five-player co-op campaign and MOBA-focused competitive multiplayer certainly give Battleborn the ingredients to stand out against other shooters–at least until May 24th.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (PS4)–May 10
The final chapter in Nathan Drake’s sage arrives this month and is sure to be one of the crown jewels of the Playstation 4’s library. We’re excited for this one as much for the story as we are for the gameplay. We just hope that Nate and Elena get their happily ever after…or we riot.
Doom (Xbox One, PS4, PC)–May 13
Maybe the most exciting game for us here at Co-Op Critics this month. We loved DOOM 3, but this is a rebooot of the franchise, not a sequel, and it appears to be going back to its roots. Fast-paced, brutal gameplay, and you can ratchet up the difficulty to soul-crushing levels. The only major disappointment is there’s no campaign co-op.
Homefront: The Revolution (Xbox One, PS4, PC)–May 17
We’re interested in this one if for no other reason than just to see what came out the other end of this long, weird development process. An open world shooter, the game takes place in 2029 and players take on the role of a rebellion leader after the US has been taken over by North Korea.
Overwatch (Xbox One, PS4, PC)–May 24
Blizzard’s entry in the “first-person shooter with MOBA elements” genre releases on May 24th, and it will be very interesting to see who comes out of this scrum. Overwatch will launch with a roster of 21 playable heroes, and one big difference is that it won’t have a single-player or co-op campaign.
On the flipside, you will have access to all of a hero’s abilities from the get go, as opposed to unlocking them throughout the course of a match like with Battleborn. With Overwatch, you’ll be unlocking skins, emotes, etc.
So, whether or not a campaign is important to you, and how you like your character progression should tell you which one of these games is a better fit for you.
Dead Island: Definitive Edition (Xbox One, PS4)–May 31
Yes, this is a re-release, but we loved the original Dead Island so much, we’re excited for this. After playing the excellent Dying Light, it will be fun to go back to Dead Island and examine the early DNA of what Techland has built.
Not to mention, this game is ridiculously fun to play with friends. We never finished Dead Island 2, so that’s another good reason to jump in, especially since this collection carries a $40 price tag.
So, those are the games we’re looking forward to this month, but the complete list of releases is exponentially larger. What are you exited about?
As we head into March, the game release floodgates are really starting to open for the year. This month features some heavy-hitters, a slew of great indie games and at least something for everyone on all platforms. Here are some games that we here at Co-Op Critics are excited for in March:READ MORE
Fallout 4 is our game of January 2016, and in this first video of our series, Brian joins up with the Minutemen faction after completing some quests.
We’ll be posting videos all month over on the Co-Op Critics YouTube Page, so head on over and check them out. At the end of the month, we’ll be wrapping up our Fallout 4 coverage with an episode of the Co-Op Critics podcast. Stay tuned!
Every month here at Co-Op Critics we choose a game to highlight for discussion. Over the course of the month we post gameplay videos on the YouTube page, and we cap off the month with a podcast discussion of that game.
November’s game is Call of Duty; Black Ops III. The latest installment of the mega-franchise launched on Friday, and we’ll be spending quite a bit of time with it over the next few weeks (and months, probably).
Like many gamers, we’ve got a long history with the call of Duty franchise, and we spent literal weeks of our lives playing Modern Warfare multiplayer. In fact, some of the friendships that make up the Co-Op Critics crew today were solidified over that game. So, while we haven’t always dug every iteration of the series, it does hold a special place in our hearts.
As usual, we’ll continue to talk, write and post videos about a slew of other games as well, but Black Ops III is this month’s spotlight game. If you picked it up yourself, we’d love to hear what you think about it so far. Comment here on the site, hit us up on twitter, or respond to the vids on our YouTube channel!
Brian continues his playthrough of SOMA to celebrate #OctFearFest with Co-Op Critics and the Midnight Society. In this episode the techno-organic horror that stalks Simon limits his options for escape. And direct confrontation is a bad choice.

Dying Light is a hilariously fun co-op experience. If you’ve watched any of our “Co-Op Plays: Dying Light” series, you’ll notice that we often get sidetracked for hours impaling zombies, exploding zombies, and let’s not forget dropkicking zombies. You’ll see all of that and more in the video above, as well as ANY video you watch of Dying Light. We hope you enjoy this montage of funny moments, fails, and kills.
We want to thank you all for your support so far. We’re putting a lot of effort into this so it’s always great to see it appreciated. If you haven’t yet, please SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel and FOLLOW us on Twitter for updates.
