MODERATORS
 

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.

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.

You could try dead by daylight

[–] tired_of_coffee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The Dead Island games are great for co-op

It may not be something you can complete in an evening, but Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a cross platform co-op game based on the ruleset of Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition.

It's available on game pass, and has bee a ton of fun for my friends and me.

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.

I would recommend Vermintide, its like left 4 dead but you're bashing rats

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Hunt Showdown is a blast with a friend. Me and my buddy have played it a long time. They're always patching and adding content here and there. :)

Not sure what the price is unfortunately.

warframe is a lot of fun

[–] 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.

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

Core Keeper has a Terraria / Zelda: Link to the Past vibe if you are looking for something like that.

[–] narc0tic_bird@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

We had a lot of fun with V Rising. It's a bit like Diablo I'd say, but with base building and crafting and the level is based entirely on gear, so if someone misses a few sessions you can just craft one extra set of the latest armor you unlocked and they are on your level instantly.

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

[–] ABoxOfNeurons@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

This is an odd one, but Powerwash Simulator has been an blast for me and my wife. We used to play a lot of Overwatch, but didn't like the new direction with 2. It somehow manages to scratch some of the shooter itch while being really chill.

[–] HER0@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like there are too many to list, but an obvious one that I don't see mentioned is Halo. The Master Chief Collection is pretty great, and has a ton of content that can all be consumed in short sessions (except for certain levels on legendary difficulty).

It is also still on sale on Steam for a little longer, if you don't have it already.

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

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

[–] mdwhite999@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] 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.

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.
