Hi everyone, I have a group of friends (we are 5 in total) and we’re looking for some new games.
We got tired of LOL, OW, Csgo, Rocket league (we played private match), skribble
Any type of game goes, we are pretty open on that.
We are going to try minecraft and tabletop simulator this weekend. Do you have some other suggestions?
Lethal Company has a mod that enables more people in a lobby and Project Zomboid is a blast if you can get past the graphics.
- Barotrauma. Game can be challenging and serious, but also ridiculously hilarious and off the walls, often in the same playthrough.
- Valheim.
- Project Zomboid. You might want to consider upping some of the difficulty with more players, though. More zombies, for example.
- Minecraft.
- Planetside 2. Squad/platoon up and just roll around together. The learning curve, however, can be surprisingly high.
- Battlebit Remastered.
The learning curve, however, can be surprisingly high.
I’ve been playing for something like a decade at this point… I still don’t know what the fuck I’m doing… Except that I can drive a mag rider… and surprising can fly a galaxy pretty well…
Same tbh. Been playing for over a decade. I’m an Infil main, so I got that down in its various forms (as VS). I’m alright with Engi and Medic. And that’s about it. I’m bad at LA and I definitely can’t play Heavy. Weird, I know.
Busses I’m fine with, Gals and Harasser I’m OK. Skyguard lightning I’m pretty decent at though.
If you want a Mario Party like, Pummel Party is very fun imo
Pummel party is so much fun and if you go in the workshop there are tons of minigames and maps
If you like survival games… Ark, 7 days to die, Conan Exiles, Valheim*… You can self-host all of them so you don’t need to deal with griefers.
Valheim’s doesn’t work so well if you don’t all play together. Resources from exploration are finite and it really sucks if all the places you go, your buddies went to and looted already. Works best if most people play together and everyone plays around the same amount of time.
@azezeB Some suggestions
- Dead By Daylight. 5 people with one being the Killer so you can rotate that if desired.
- Halo Infinite multiplayer can do 12 person parties for the “Big” map modes.
- I believe Lego Fortnite also lets you have up to 8. It’s more Minecraft and not a Battle Royale at all.
- Lethal company modded can support more than 4. That could be lots of fun.
- Retro FPS like Quake from various years. Just as a small distraction
Risk of Rain 2 is a blast with a group
There are still MMOs. They can be a blast with a group of friends who consistently play together. Or Ark? Or Rust?
Hate to say it but World of Warcraft is the most fun I’ve had gaming with four friends. Most of the dungeon content is tailored to groups of five.
Stardew Valley can be modded to support 8-player sessions but the upcoming 1.6 update will include it natively.
Ones I’ve played, in no particular order
- Rust
- Civilization
- Valheim
- Project Cars
- Battlebit
- Stolen Realm
- Hell Let Loose
TTT in GMod is GOAT
If you want to avoid the hassle that it takes to set up a Microsoft account you may try Minetest instead of Minecraft.
It’s an free and Open Source reimplementation that needs no Java, and the game mode “Mineclone” is very close to the original.Regardings RTS I can recommend Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance
I you want to try out a business simulation you may look at OpenTTD which is free (and free of ads) over Steam.
And don’t forget Among Us.
Another Sup Com fan.
Sup Com had a steep learning curve and a significant time commitment but it’s a LOT of fun.
It’s only 4 players but Baldur’s Gate 3 is so much fun to play coop.
Agreed, and with this mod, you can actually have up to 8 players. I’ve been using it for a group of 5. Issues are infrequent and minor (e.g., one person not having a chest at camp, one player’s stats/inventory getting cut off on the overview page, etc.).
World of Warcraft. If your focus is primarily in PvP, then you specifically want to look at Battlegrounds and Arenas in WoW.
You mentioned LoL. Dota 2 is really fun if you guys haven’t tried it, highly recommend. Biggest thing to get used to compared to LoL is the movement (most heroes have a turn speed)
This was always my issue with Dota. It just feels so sluggish to have to turn around to run away instead of instantly changing direction like in LoL. That being said I love Dota! Now whenever my friends drag me into League I constantly find myself wishing I had a courier.
Barotrauma should be able to take up to 16 players and if you as a group can get into this game then you will have a good laugh for a good amount of time.
Golf With Your Friends - up to 12 p. Simple game but getting hit by your friends ball right before scoring the hole kinda never gets old.
Any grand strategy will be able to host many players Civ, HoI, HoMaM, AoE, RoN, Stellaris, …
Ps. Check out DEFCON/ICBM
No Civilization on your strategy game list? Civ V and VI are both great picks.
Also, Factorio is a ton of fun and will literally let you play with hundreds of players in the same game if you so choose. The cap is 255.
And I just started diving into loot games with Titan Quest. Allegedly that game supports up to 6 players.
I forgot about Civ! Definitely added.
