What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?

So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren't co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.

Stellaris allows many players if you like those types of games. Only the host needs dlc if you want to pool your cash and buy some. But yeah it can be expensive.

Since you mention Paradox titles, I'd add Crusader Kings III, Europa Universalis IV, and/or Hearts of Iron 4. Same rules apply for those games' DLC, as well.

Honestly playing a lot of The Finals recently

1-3 players, team based, capture the flag like, free to play, your team vs 2-3 other teams, fast paced

Yes just played with my friends and gotta say it is fun. Even though I dont enjoy fps much anymore, the parkour, destructible environment and varied abilities make it feel fresh (invis + sword stabby hehe).

OP What games did you guys end up playing or selecting? Also what platform are you playing on?

Somebody dropped a fair bit of cash and got Balders Gate 3 running for everyone. It's been big enough to fill a lot of time, but probably wont solve the problem when we're not all on vacation.

Takes a bit of getting used to, but Earth Defense Force 4.1 or 5.

Outriders and Remnant 2. Both solid games and 3p coop.

I've never tried the game, but I saw a family play Farming Simulator together on a long flight.

100% orange juice is quite nice

My friends and I recently discovered Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and the 3 person coop is a lot of fun.
