For the King is a wonderful mess of a co-op digital boardgame that supports 3 players. There's a learning curve, but it's more about what the players should be doing and why, rather than how. Fight battles! Roll dice! Loot dungeons! Upgrade pipes! It's 70% off on Steam atm.

Elden Ring with the seamless co-op mod has worked well for my group. Other suggestions (not sure what makes a shooter simple in your eyes): - unrailed - destiny 2 - Divinity 2: Original Sin - Gunfire Reborn

Overcooked and the games stemming from its model like Out of Space and Unrailed use strategy, but it's not about combat so it might not feel right for you. Maybe Magicka? But that may be a bit more geared to be wacky. I guess Monaco was popular back in the day. There's also Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime and We Need To Go Deeper which are both based around the model of a few people running a ship together and dealing with threats. If you wanted to get into shooters, there's a lot more challenging co-op games like Left 4 Dead, Rainbow 6: Siege, Payday 2, and Deep Rock Galactic. You could also try getting into competitive games like For Honor or Awesomenauts.

Full Metal Furies has puzzles that are not designed to be solved by any small group of people. You will have to resort to a guide at some point unless you're obsessive and willing to devote a lot of time to solving some incredibly obtuse puzzles.

True, but the game feels complete even if you don't solve those ones. The content hidden behind the one or two puzzles that aren't solvable without a community effort or peeking at a guide feel like over the top bonus levels

Me and a buddy is looking for a multiplayer FPS. We have played pretty much every battlefield game since 2, but when battlefield 2042 turned out to be a super dud we kinda got lost at to what to play together. We got chivalry 2 wich is fun, but it does not have the staying power of a proper team focused FPS. It does have to be a battlefield-like, or a moden shooter. We played games like Dirty bomb and Paladins and found it good fun. We're keeping an eye on ww3 but that game was real wonky last time i tried it several years ago. Any ideas?

Rainbow Six: Siege was good when I last played it years ago (lost interest due to a lack of time). It's 5 v 5 rounds and it has operators that somewhat act like the "heroes" in overwatch, paladins, etc. except all of them are also just "guy with a gun" so almost every problem can be fixed by just being good at shooting and positioning (which made it a lot more enjoyable to me compared to MOBA's, Paladins, Overwatch etc. where you can get majorly screwed if your team doesn't pull their weight)

Stuff like Squad, Rising Storm 2, Hell Let Loose, etc. Still keep the structure of battlefield games. You could also try Sector's Edge for an indie FPS with a fun building gimmick.

All the character progression also seemed like minor upgrades and not stuff that will significantly change the way the game is played (but obviously we didn't play far enough to find out).

the unlocks having relatively minimal effects is a good thing and the game would be better if it did away with them entirely. it's basically just a L4D clone with a really cool unique gimmick in the digging mechanics and, if anything, all the grindy / microtransaction stuff has only made the game worse than it was in open beta

It's more fun if you buy into the silly dwarves stuff and treat it as a "friends being dumb" simulator. That said, if the base mechanics don't click for you, then I don't think you're missing any secret sauce that will suddenly make it a game you like.

All the character progression also seemed like minor upgrades and not stuff that will significantly change the way the game is played (but obviously we didn't play far enough to find out). It really just clicked with my buddies and me when we played it. I've put 100+ hours into it so far. I dunno, I love the sense of exploration, the dumb fun goofiness of the dwarves, the incredibly technically impressive cave procgen algorithm, the feel of the guns and mowing down hordes of bugs, the mechanics of mining ore, and just the overall ambience of the world, etc. It's just a really fun time every time I hop on. The one other thing I might recommend you try is to give all the different classes a spin and see if any one really clicks for you. That's what did the trick for me. I thought the game was just "decent to good" until I tried the Scout class after a few hours of messing with other classes, and with the Scout's grappling hook and hyper mobility, the entire experience of the game totally transformed for me. Then I unlocked the Scout's sniper rifle main weapon and dual-wield SMG's secondary weapon and that's been my jam ever since. All the classes are good in one way or another though. I'll also add that the game is even fun to play solo once you get your robot bro Bosco upgraded with your most preferred skills for him. That little drone can really pull his weight and go to work. And without real life friends goofing around in the level, the game becomes a much more serene, almost tranquil experience in a zen kind of way.

All the character progression also seemed like minor upgrades and not stuff that will significantly change the way the game is played (but obviously we didn't play far enough to find out). For me there are a bunch of things that keep the game fresh: -The proc-gen levels, which means you always have to be thinking about traversal and can't just sleep walk through a level you've seen a million times. I think the devs have said that by far the most lethal enemy in the game based on damage done is gravity, and that tracks with my experience. -The variety in mission objectives, combined with various modifiers and special events, as well as the variety in enemy design. There's more of these at higher difficulties, and the game can get pretty hectic in interesting ways. -The classes all play differently, and each has enough weapon variety to mix it up even more. Combine that with overclocks and you can keep messing with things or find a setup that really clicks for you. That being said, I value it as something I can just jump in and play for an hour with pubbies here or there, or maybe a few hours with friends. If you're looking for a game that you can play for MMO-level of time then it might get a bit stale.

Are there any good action sandbox multiplayer games that still let people do PvE content? I thought Just Cause 2 with the multiplayer mod would be great, but apparently the mod gets rid of all the AI/NPC's? And while GTA Online exists, it's a live service game with all that entails -- I would basically want something like GTA5 multiplayer without the live service part. There are some silly games that kind of fit this bill: Goat Simulator, The Amazing Frog?, Wobbly Life. But I think something with more serious/quality action mechanics would be more fun. I'm also thinking of maybe Skyrim Together (the new version) as a fallback if I can't find anything more action-y. Bognar posted:Was I playing Deep Rock Galactic wrong?

You may want to at least go far enough to see some mission types that are very different from "just find ore and mine it, rinse and repeat", like On-Site Refining or Elimination, especially on higher cave complexity (and turn up the hazard level if you're finding the game to be too easy).

Distrust is a specifically three player game you've probably never heard of that it's very much puzzles and stuff. Across the Obelisk is multiplayer slay the Spire crossed with darkest dungeon. Early access. People have mentioned deep rock galactic. It's good.

Sandwich Anarchist posted:Ghost Recon Wildlands Going to agree with this one. At first glance, Wildlands seems to play itself pretty straight but it’s free form enough that you can do some incredibly dumb fun stuff. The other week I introduced the game to a buddy and one of the first things we did was attack an enemy base head on in matching gatling gun equipped helicopters (if one player is sufficiently advanced, you can summon as many as you want for free with like a 30 second cooldown between each). After that, we tried to see how close to a head on mid-air collision we could get without slamming into each other (we slammed into each other) then we moved to helicopter chicken for a while, then we ended with dirtbike racing.

My partner and I have found some great games that are fun to play together. We went through God of War (2018) and really liked it, then moved on to Disco Elysium, and just completed Stray. Kind of a mix of stuff. We like the story aspects of each of those 3, the calm vibes of Stray, and the mystery and world of DE. Not sure what to play next, but was hoping someone could give us some advice. (I tried to get her into Planescape Torment but she refuses because of the graphics. Sever?)

Norco and Citizen Sleeper are two recent games that have been compared to Disco Elysium in terms of pace and tone (although if you're expecting the same level of writing you might be disappointed). They're both on gamepass if that helps
