Games Like Way of the Passive Fist (2026)

Shared: Pattern Recognition

Gorgeous on the outside, brutally unforgiving underneath, Cuphead is the boss-rush couch co-op that will bond you with a friend or destroy that friendship entirely, probably both in the same session.

Shared: tier:indie

Four friends, one camera, and a procedurally generated underground full of things that want to kill you on film. Content Warning is the co-op horror bit that somehow became the social satire nobody asked for but everyone needed.

Shared: Arcade Mode

The 1993 shooter that built the genre, now on Steam with multiplayer intact. If you haven't played it, that's on you.

Shared: Parry-Focused

FromSoftware stripped out the build variety and handed you one katana. If you can handle that trade, what remains might be the sharpest action combat ever put in a video game.

Shared: Post-Apocalyptic

If post-apocalyptic Russia, a steam locomotive base, and real resource scarcity sound like your weekend, Metro Exodus Gold Edition hands you the whole package - base game plus both story DLC expansions included.
