Nobody Saves the World marks DrinkBox Studios’ return to the indie gaming playground with yet another extraordinary game that defies expectations. Guacamelee was one of Drink Box Studios’ excellent video games and a capable Metroidvania that stood tall among its brethren.

Nobody Saves the World, however, isn’t a Metroidvania. It’s a unique blend of action, exploration, top-down shooting, and most notably, transformation mechanics. To spice it up, the developers have also included Co-Op as a feature in the game so players can have a fun trip together whether online or locally.

    I don’t understand how an article dedicated to co-op games, doesn’t even bother to mention how many players can play on the game and whether or not it’s local co-op

    No Deep Rock Galactic? No Divinity Original Sin 2?

      This list has been made solely to cover games released on the PS5. Games like Diablo III: Eternal Collection and Divinity Original Sin 2 weren’t shown because they weren’t released natively on the PS5. There is a list of PS4 Co-Op games we will be updating with more games in a few weeks if you’re interested in.
