Title. I’d like to play more with friends and family, and I’d like to do that IRL. It’s gotta be available on PC, though, I don’t own a console.
It takes two is amazing, but AFAIK only allows for two players.
Yes, only two players (hence the name), but a helluva game
And Split Fiction
- Absolum
- Brotato
- Crawl
- Ember Knights
- For the King 1&2
- Lovers in a dangerous spacetime
- Rotwood
- Dome keeper
- Heavenly Bodies
- Sea of stars
- TMNT: Splintered fate
These are all I could recall for now and since I don’t know what type of games you prefer specifically I just dumped a list of the games that I enjoyed playing with my GF and friends recently. Hope it helps!
Overcooked 1 and 2
Yes! That is always my go to game with up to 4 players.
Casual Games
- Untitled Goose Game: silly, funny, and easy for anyone to pick up
- Overcooked Series: work together in a kitchen, may test your friendships haha
- Human Fall Flat: frustrating but funny platformer
- Any Lego Game: great to play with kids
- Minecraft: the most popular game for a reason
- Minecraft Dungeons: fun rpg based on Minecraft
- Terraria: 2D Minecraft but with easier crafting and more to do
- Pico Park: puzzle platformer, good for large groups
More Difficult Games
- Stardew Valley: adventure farming simulator (not very difficult but more involved than casual games)
- Portal 2: FPS puzzle game
- Cuphead: very difficult side scrolling shooter
- Borderlands series: FPS looter shooter
- Castle Crashers: side scrolling hack and slash rpg
- Left 4 Dead (1+2): FPS zombie shooter, playing with mods is hilarious
Non-Cooperative Couch Games
- Jackbox series: assorted party games, good for lots of people
Goat simulator 3
For real.
It has 4-player local split-screen drop-in co-op.
Good party games:
- Ultimate Chicken Horse
- Gang Beasts
- Unspottable
More intense coop:
- Gauntlet
- Cuphead
- Spelunky
I’ve heard good things about DuneCrawl, but I’ve never played it.
If you are looking for a horror movie type experience, Until Dawn and The Quarry are great. You pass the controller when the character changes, but they’re designed to be enjoyed by a group.
Gauntlet is great!
Not co-op, but Unspottable is fun. It’s a casual couch multiplayer where you and your friends pretend to be bots while trying to punch each other.
Co-op penis stream! 😊 Played this one a few times, myself. 😅
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes? I love that game.
We played the crap.put of that game back when I had an Oculus rift. I assume there is a non-VR version (?), but having the defuser working in VR was a riot!
Another vote for Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.
If you like electronic dance music, Just Shapes and Beats.
If you liked Eye of the Beholder and wish there were a co-op Minecraft-visuals version, it’s Barony.
Unravel 2
Overcooked 1 and 2
Cooking game they even most inept video gamers can enjoy.
If they are good enough, try Plate Up for a more difficult similar game.
The absolute top 3 I can think of right now:
- Broforce
- Heave Ho
- Hidden in Plain Sight (not co-op, but it’s hilarious to play with others and doesn’t take much skill so it doesn’t feel unbalanced if some of the players have played it for much longer than others)
All 3 are 2D, funny, and great fun to play in a group.
We’re currently playing Sunderfolk, it’s a great game so far, kids and grown ups (it’s got a bunch of reading and strategy, so it depends on the kid)
As someone else said, Jackbox games are plenty fun, much lighter, each party pack has 4-5 different games, and they go on sale often on steam. Look through the videos for each pack to get an idea of the games it comes with.
Sunderfolk is so good!
What type of game are you looking for?
