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

Monster Hunter World and/or Rise.

[–] Lols@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

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

What do u think about League of Legends? It's lots of fun with friends & u can queue in parties of 5 (the team limit across the game) maximum. Should u not have a full party, u can queue with whoever's ready to play and have randoms autofill.

I really like playing League and especially with friends. If everyone's a total newbie to the game then it's better to make friends with someone who can coach you .. or just play customs v bots 😄🧡

I've had lots of fun playing the game over the years and don't mind playing alone or teamed-up 😁 Takes some getting used to if* u aren't acquainted with mobas but trust me when I say it's a world of fun once one gets the hang of it (ime & mi mates' anyway).

I've over time moved on to playing aram (a single-lane accelerated mode). It's more chaotic haha but also sweet for learning how to dodge and read through the fow 🌁

I hope u find a game !! 🤗

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

[–] EsotericEmbryo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] End0fLine@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

My husband and I have easily gotten hundreds, maybe thousands of hours out of each of the Gears of War games. I would recommend the first three absolutely.

While I find the campaign OK, I love the Horde mode in the games.

[–] Bosmic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Epicurus@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

Vermintide and Vermintide 2 are great games in my opinion that expand and innovate on the L4D2 formula, being similar but still very distinct.

[–] iNeedScissors67@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] buckykat@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

The Ascent is fun with friends. It's a cyberpunk diablo style thing.

[–] fl1ghtless@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Stacefras@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

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

Saving this post because it's right up my alley so now I have many new games to check out. Project Zomboid is still going strong for us, but here are some others that our group has enjoyed:

Heave Ho: super crude 2D graphics, but absolutely hilarious gameplay

The Ascent: beautiful cyberpunk-themed isometric shooter

Broforce: very entertaining pixel-art 2D platformer/shooter - we played this through to the end, which is rare for us

Overcooked: very entertaining 3D game, not sure what I would even call the genre - a "work" game?

Unrailed: similar to uncooked, but a different kind of "work"

SWAT 4: old 3D FPS, but still good

Foxhole seems really great when playing with multiple friends. If you're two, I loved playing Portal 2 in coop. I'm currently playing Hunt Showdown with my friends.

[–] yelly@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

Also if you enjoy roguelites, Crab Champions is cheap and very fun. It's in early access, so there's still a lot more content coming.

[–] Taijk@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

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

  • Grounded
  • Raft
[–] SevenSwell@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

You gotta play a few rounds of Golf With Your Friends, it's hysterical!

I would also recommend picking up Tabletop Simulator, the amount of board games that game handles through the Steam Workshop is insane.
