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.
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).
