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
Valheim is good even if you can’t be on at the same time. Just slowly build out a world as you would in Minecraft and save the biome raids for when you can get the party together. It’s flexible.
I opened this thread to see if anyone recommended Valheim, because what you said is exactly what my group does. We’re all dads with jobs and we play when we can, but we schedule 2-3 hour video call sessions to fight the bosses.
When it comes to Valheim, you need the help, too. Those bosses can be brutal.
Try Helldivers, it’s isometric twin stick shooter, with second game coming this year switching to third person kinda like Risk of Rain 2
Try Factorio!! It’s got a demo you can try to get a taste as well. I spent ~20 hours in the demo itself before I bought the game. Looooved it.
Oh man, I forgot to add that to the list
I sunk so many hours just into the train system
Try Overcooked, cheap and fun, also might get mad at each other
I once did a weekend on the campaign of Borderlands 2 with friends, it was awesome. Also, PlateUp is a nice coop game to play over a WE
