In recent years, the co-op has become left behind in the gaming industry. There was a time when split-screen gaming was an essential part of any game’s design, but lately, it has been treated less like a feature and more like an addition, an afterthought once the single-player campaign and online multiplayer components have been completed. While some games like It Takes Two have made co-op their selling point, overall, the cooperative play has become a dying art.
