Hey everyone with the steam sale going on I was looking for some recommendations for games for five people.

Thanks!

Lethal company is an obvious choice. I think you need a mod to play with 5 people though.

[–] wolfshadowheart 7 points 11 months ago

Very easy to mod it thankfully

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

deep rock galactic along with that, also needs a mod for more than 4 players but it's trivial to get and works well from what i've heard

[–] snowe@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There’s a mod for five?!?

[–] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Sure is, the mod is on nexusmods I think and it's called more company. Since everyone needs to install it, I suggest also looking into other mods like alternate outfits and such

BattleBit if you liked Battlefield

God I just fucking love getting one tapped by a sniper with 600 hours from 1400m out.

spoilerI still like the game, but it definitely can be frustrating sometimes

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

My exact experience, and I have hundreds of hours in various battlefields

[–] sharkaccident@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I usually play sniper and I think the recent update really nerfed the sniper class. I'm now starting to learn a different class...

Well, I'm not sure this is what you're looking for but Tabletop Simulator is a board game simulator that has a diverse category of games in its workshop mod. I'm sure a lot of the games can be played with 5 players.

[–] Mr_Vortex@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

I came here to say exactly this. My favorite games for 5+ players are Codenames and Sushi Go Party Edition.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Of those on sale-

Terraria

Killing Floor (And 2)

Torchlight 2

Raft

Human Fall Flat

Powerwash Simulator

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Torchlight 2 may have been around for a while now, but it's still a great game.

[–] highenergyphysics@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

In order of casual friendly at top, to real gaming hours at bottom IMO

Sea of Thieves

Valheim

Project Zomboid

Factorio

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Sea of thieves is great but only 4 - good backup.

May I suggest barotrauma if you can work together.

[–] zerosilversky@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] eco_game@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

Great game but sadly has a max of 4 players

[–] Rosco@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Terraria (I recommend the Thorium mod that add healer and support classes!)

[–] Ghostlight@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Phasmophobia is the best. Unfortunately only for four players total.

[–] str82L@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Talisman Digital Edition

[–] Secret300@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago
[–] b166erdk@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

7 Days to die

[–] Squid@leminal.space 2 points 11 months ago

Lethal company + more company mod. Ready or not. May ruin some friendships..

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] pulverizedcoccyx@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fun but also ruthless. Even with YouTube videos I can never seem to get the hang of it.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

I've never watched the videos. I read the wiki, but otherwise just wing it. Can't say I'm great at it but I have a lot of fun.

[–] HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

We have been playing Insurgency Sandstorm, I believe it's up to 8 players coop

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Core Keeper if you want to craft and chill, with some intense combat too sometimes

[–] ChadyzGroove@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Tower Unite this is the game my friends and spend the most time in casually, it has so many mini games and it's just weird too.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Stardew Valley I think is up to 5 (the host and 4?), if not then Sunhaven I'm fairly certain it's up to 8, if y'all like farming sim things.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

@PostWatchBot@lemy.lol

[–] Lipriv30@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

What about games that you can drop in and play with others. I know dead by daylight, matchmaking is easy for strangers to play together online. There’s got to be more games like that.

[–] YoorWeb@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Civilisation V if you have a lot of time on your hands.

[–] Outtatime@sh.itjust.works -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ready or not.

Not sure if it's on sale but it's awesome

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

I am ready.... Can you tell me now?
