Hey all,
What games have you guys been playing with your friends?
Doesn’t necessarily need to be a steam game.
I am looking for something that fits our group…we usually end up playing Counter strike, but really enjoyed pico park and move or die, as well as pummel party. Pubg was a fun game to mess around on but we only play on Linux now.
However I have trouble finding other games for us. The problem is one of my friends is kind of picky and can be lazy about learning complex game mechanics, they just want to have fun and dont like learning hard stuff.
The other friend games all day every day, so they are a pro at everything. If we play a game that has any element of “grind”, this friend will play it for 20 hours in 3 days and be completely ahead if us in all aspects, plus they watch every video of every game so they know how to play through the whole thing, ruining any surprises or secrets.
That’s why games like cs or pico park work well, because its individual effort plus group effort. Any game where its group effort, other friend just takes over the whole game. I love games like quake that are fast but they make other friend sick (and I’m too good at them to be fun for all of us)
It seems so many games I see that look super cool just end up being grind games that aren’t fun. Like that fog train game looked great but then it looks like a big time suck.
Our small group has had a lot of fun with REPO and Lethal Company. Both are very similar gameplay wise but REPO feels more polished imo.
There are no complex systems to learn and little or no progression at all so it’s easy to pick up and play.
Deep Rock Galactic was pretty fun for my group
Deadlock for the intense sometimes competitive gameplay. For the chill side, Tower Unite. And for the laughs: Super Battle Golf!
I’m in the same kinda friend group, and we are always trying to find that next coop game. I usually check gg.deals daily with a the coop feature selected.
We just played free Demo of Toxic Command it was fun for a weekend night. We have played all the Killing Floor games, and I personally think this one could be just as good.
Here are some other games we always go back to, in no particular order.
Have fun!
Gonna second Risk of Rain 2 and Mycopunk. Both of them are really fun if you like roguelike/bullet hells and looter shooters, respectively.
I’ll also throw in Super Battle Golf. A friend and I just picked it up and it’s so much fun and hilarious, up to 8 can play at a time.
Heads up, your account has the bot flag enabled. So your comments show up as being made by a bot.
Guild Wars 2 has a dynamic level scaling system that does a pretty good job of solving disparities like the one you described. I think it also has simpler battle mechanics than other MMOs. And the base game is free.
Levelling the new warlock class with my friend in diablo 2 resurrected like its 2001 again
Amazing times !
Just less linkin park and more voice chat, these days compared to then
It’s a bit stretch, but you can try Golf with your friends. It’s fun, mostly casual, but can be also pretty intense.
Oh yep we sometimes play that! One friend hates it lol
I haven’t played myself because I don’t have friends to play with but maybe something like PEAK or Abiotic Factor?
ah yes we had played PEAK briefly, it’s amazing!
feel free to message me if you’d like to play something. maybe we’ll have similar taste who knows
PEAK is literally peak. Such a gem.
Peak is a must play! There’s even a mod to unlock the number of players per lobby so that you can play with all your friends.
Peak would be perfect for OP’s group. It’s cooperative, so having players of wildly different skill levels just means the better players can support the newer ones.
Abiotic Factor is an excellent game, but unfortunately it’d fail both of OP’s player requirements (too complex, and easily spoiled/speedrun by someone looking things up ahead of time).
🥲 i forgot that this game is kinda expensive
I can highly recommend this game, and my IsThereAnyDeal extension says it’s currently $3.58 at GameBillet, though I’d say it’s worth every penny of the $20 they’re asking.
still waiting for SoR 2
It’s a shame they pulled the demo.
oh yes! this is kind of like wazhack!
Kletka.
It’s not ready yet, but if a multiplayer Alien Isolation seems interesting, Species Unknown.
Yapyap, Webfishing, Space Station 13/14 (always), and Species Unknown
How many people are in your group? If its 4 people or less then you guys have tons of options, but if its 5 or more, your options are extremely limited (I know this because I play in a group of 5).
Something like Helldivers 2 seems like it could be a good fit, but it only supports up to 4 players.
usually 3 or 4.
In that case, you got a lot of options.
Helldivers 2 would probably be a good fit. It doesn’t have a lot to learn for a player to do well, and if one player is a min-maxing nuisance it won’t really effect the rest of the player’s experience. It’s a cooperative third person shooter. Its hard for one player to take over everything, especially at the higher difficulties.
is more of a casual group game.
This seems good!
