Here we are again, talking about Platinum hunting. By now, you’re no rookie you are a veteran, a champion gamer who by now has hopefully already tackled the last 10 games we recommended and added those shiny Platinums to your collection.
But this time, things are a little different. Grab your friend, pick up that second controller, and step into the spotlight together. It’s time to see what you’re both made of as you take on your next 10 games side by side. Expect teamwork, chaos, laughter, frustration, and maybe a few arguments along the way. After all, what’s better than earning a Platinum? Earning it with a friend.
10. The Quarry
Starting off the list is The Quarry, a game that takes the idea of playing together and turns it into a chaotic interactive horror movie. You and your friends take control of a group of camp counsellors whose night quickly becomes much more terrifying than anyone expected.
What makes The Quarry particularly fun for a group is the way everyone can get involved in the decisions. You can pass the controller around, make choices together and then immediately argue about who was responsible when things go horribly wrong.
For trophy hunters, the experience is less about traditional co-op action and more about making decisions, seeing different outcomes and working through the game's branching story. It is a great choice when your group wants something more cinematic and doesn't mind a few questionable survival decisions.
And let's be honest: horror games become a lot more entertaining when everyone is sitting around shouting at the screen.
9. Bunny Raiders
Bunny Raiders might look like a simple little game, but don't let the cute rabbits fool you. The game provides a fun co-op experience that works particularly well for trophy hunters looking for something shorter and more approachable.
It's the kind of game you can sit down with a friend and start playing without needing to spend hours learning complicated mechanics or remembering a massive storyline. Sometimes that's exactly what you want.
Not every Platinum needs to take 80 hours. Sometimes you just want to grab a controller, play something ridiculous with a friend and watch that Platinum trophy pop.
And honestly, more games should let us defeat enemies while playing as adorable little rabbits.
8. Sackboy: A Big Adventure
The game takes the familiar LittleBigPlanet charm and turns it into a more traditional 3D platforming adventure, with plenty of levels, collectibles and challenges along the way. Playing through the game with another person makes the experience even more enjoyable. You can help each other through difficult sections, collect items together and generally cause a little bit of chaos along the way.
The trophy list also gives you plenty of reasons to explore the game's levels rather than simply rushing to the end. There are some challenges that can test your patience, particularly if you're trying to complete everything, but that's part of what makes finally getting that Platinum feel rewarding.
Plus, Sackboy is just ridiculously wholesome. It's difficult to be angry at a game when you're controlling a tiny knitted character.
7. Rogue Company
Rogue Company brings a completely different kind of co-op experience to the list. Instead of working through a story together, you're teaming up with friends and jumping into competitive multiplayer matches.
The appeal here is simple: pick your Rogue, learn the maps, communicate with your squad and try to outplay the other team. When everyone is working together, there are few things more satisfying than pulling off a coordinated play and watching the whole team fall into place.
For trophy hunters, multiplayer-focused lists can be a different kind of challenge because your progress depends on consistency, practice and sometimes finding the right group of players. That makes the Platinum feel less like a traditional single-player checklist and more like something you've earned through teamwork.
6. Marvel Rivals
Alright, Alright I had to put this here after all it is a free to play game. The biggest appeal is the roster. You can jump into matches as different Marvel heroes and villains, experiment with their abilities and figure out which combinations work best with your friends.
Playing with a group also changes the experience. A match can go from complete chaos to a perfectly coordinated team fight in seconds, especially when everyone understands their role and communicates.
And when your squad finally pulls off a ridiculous play, the Platinum hunt suddenly feels like an excuse to keep playing.
5. Operation: Tango
Operation: Tango is one of those games where communication isn't just helpful. It's basically the entire game. One player takes the role of an Agent while the other plays a Hacker, and both players have completely different perspectives and abilities. The interesting part is that neither player can simply do everything themselves.
You have to communicate. And I mean actually communicate. If your friend isn't telling you what they're seeing, you're probably going to spend a lot of time standing around wondering what you're supposed to do. The puzzles are built around this idea, creating some genuinely funny moments when one player understands something that the other completely missed.
It's a great co-op experience because the game forces both players to participate. Just make sure your co-op partner knows the difference between 'turn left' and 'your other left.'
4. Overcooked! All You Can Eat
On paper, cooking together sounds relaxing. It isn't.
You and your partner have to communicate, prepare ingredients, cook meals and serve customers while dealing with increasingly ridiculous kitchens and obstacles. One minute everything is going perfectly, and the next you're both screaming because someone forgot to wash the dishes.
That's exactly what makes Overcooked so much fun. The trophy hunt gives you plenty of reasons to work through the different levels and improve your performance, while chasing higher ratings can turn a casual playthrough into a surprisingly competitive challenge.
3. A Way Out
This is one of those games that was practically designed to be played with another person. You play as Vincent and Leo, two prisoners who work together to escape prison and deal with everything that happens afterwards.
The entire experience is built around cooperation, with both players frequently doing different things at the same time. One player might be distracting someone while the other sneaks around. Another moment might have both players working together to solve a problem.
Because the story is designed around two characters, it creates a much more personal co-op experience than simply having another player join your campaign. The best part is that you don't need your friend to be a hardcore gamer.
2. It Takes Two
Honestly, how can I ever make a list like this without even mentioning this game! It Takes Two is one of the best examples of a game being designed specifically around co-op.
You and your partner control Cody and May, and almost everything about the game is built around working together. What makes it special is that the gameplay constantly changes. One section might have you solving puzzles. The next could have you platforming. Then suddenly you're fighting a boss or playing a completely unexpected mini-game.
It Takes Two also manages to balance its gameplay with a surprisingly emotional story, making the journey feel like much more than simply completing a trophy list.
You laugh. You argue. You probably blame each other when something goes wrong. And eventually, you reach the end and see that Platinum trophy pop.
1. Split Fiction
Split Fiction is another co-op adventure that feels like it was built around the idea that two players should constantly be doing something together.
You and your partner step into the stories of Mio and Zoe, with the game throwing you between wildly different worlds, mechanics and situations. One moment you're dealing with science-fiction chaos, and the next you're exploring something completely different.
The biggest strength of Split Fiction is its variety. The game keeps introducing new ideas instead of letting the co-op formula become repetitive, which makes the journey feel like a genuine adventure rather than a checklist of trophy requirements.
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations! Some of these games might be an easy road to Platinum, while others could seriously put your friendship to the test. But beyond the trophies, what matters most is the experience, the laughs, the chaos, the victories, and the memories you create together along the way.
And hey, did you know that here at The Hunter’s Cabin, you can find plenty of like-minded gamers? You can discover other trophy hunters, create a gaming session, invite your friends, or even meet new people to hunt those Platinums with.
Because sometimes, the best part of earning a Platinum isn’t the trophy itself it’s who you earned it with.
Happy Hunting Traveller.
