My friends and I have been exhausting our current library of games and are looking for suggestions. It tends to be pretty hard for us to all meet at the same time. Usually we prefer to do stuff that we can finish in one session on the weekends because one person might have to leave as another person joins. Don't mind if its new or old, but id prefer it not to be $60 if its going to be a 2hr stint

Games on our current rotation:

  • Civ VI
  • Deep rock galactic
  • CS:GO
  • War thunder

Don't really play anymore

  • Apex
  • L4D2
  • Payday 2
  • Gmod
  • Day of infamy
  • Insurgency
  • Project Zomboid
  • Foxhole
  • Risk of rain 2
  • Don't starve together
  • Verdun
  • Killing floor
  • Minecraft
  • Terraria

Squad! super fun game to play with friends. It's an FPS that isn't as hard to learn as Arma and more milsim than an arcade shooter like battlefield.

World War Z Aftermath is a great multiplayer game and also cross-platform!

I've had a lot of fun playing Grounded. Both with friends and solo. Someone needs to host the session but it is a shared save file that keeps up to date very well. So, any individual can play at any time or up to 4 can play online together.

Streets of Rogue. It's a top-down roguelike with many different characters and items. You can do the missions in different ways playing solo, but co-op opens even more possibilities.

overcooked, though its only got the one campaign and little replay ability

phasmophobia is extremely fun, though getting into it brand new can probably be a bit overwhelming

fall guys is a pretty fun party style game, pretty casual and all

skribbl.io is a little browser charades with drawing type deal if youre just feeling like doing something easy and low effort

valheim i definitely recommend if youre into terraria dst and minecraft together, same with the forest

Monster Hunter World and/or Rise.

I kind of enjoyed starship troopers but it is def alpha

The Dead Island games are great for co-op

I don't know how much you'd like it since the shooters on your list aren't super similar, but Xdefiant should be releasing soon and is f2p. I really enjoyed the closed betas. There's an open one June 21-23 if you want to give it a try.

Spiritfarer is a very sweet cartoon game about death where you can play couch co-op with your other player being a kitty. HIGHLY recommend this game, but don't be surprised if it makes you bawl your eyes out.

DayZ can be fun. Building up a base and trying to survive together. A bit of a learning curve but a very social game. Especially if you find a good private PVE server.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a local co-op where you share the controls of a spaceship. Your goal is to save the space bunnies. Not quite the same style as the games on your list but it's inexpensive and cute.

For your base building survival fix, I highly recommend Raft or Subnautica Nitrox, the unofficial multiplayer mod

If you hate your friends or want to hate your friends, try Pico Park or Overcooked. Also the space game Heavenly Bodies, but it's only 2-player

My boyfriend and I enjoyed playing Hellpoint, Salt and Sanctuary, and Nobody Saves the World together.

Overcooked, Overcooked 2, Movin Out, Out of Space, Cod Zombies, PlateUp!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Oh man the Overcooked series is great for multiplayer! Can really cause some heated disagreements at times though lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

If you enjoyed risk of rain 2 I would recommend the binding of Isaac which is another roguelike

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I would like to add Sanctum 2 as a fun game. Also

  • Grounded
  • Raft

Outlast Trials is the big coop fun surprise of the year for me. You can also still buy it 25% off on epic for like 20€ until today.

People should not ignore this game cause it is from the outlast series. This game has way less jumpscares and its more about the tension of being chased all the time. Also way less scary in coop than in solo. It's more like Deadbydaylight meets L4D2 mobs. Level and Character Design reminds me off Bioshock. The coop fun is comparable to Phasmophobia, just less scary but more tense

Insurgency Sandstorm is my go to. 8 player co-op vs ai bots, but with a degree of realism. A well placed headshot will drop an enemy instantly but the same can happen to you.
