I’m trying to figure out which multiplayer games have the broadest appeal. What game could get the most consistent buy in and is worth playing for at least a few hours?
I was playing wow until recently. My computer needs to be replaced. Once I do that, I was thinking about trying GW2.
I avoid using Steam as much as possible because it’s proprietary software that can be used as spyware and that tries to keep me dependent on their platform. My favourite Steam multiplayer game is Dota 2, I spend a hundred of hours playing it and I love it <3 Also Worms series it’s great if you’re looking for offline multiplayer, because you don’t need LAN or multiple controllers :)
Guild Wars 2
And yes I believe it’s still worth getting into
It’s the only MMO I felt was good. Feels like a real game. No level or gear grind.
I didn’t do the latest expansion yet but I’ve done all the others.
I’ve been really into Yi Xian Pai. The pvp mode is a lot of fun, and challenging.
Lately Arc Raiders has me hooked, but if youre trying to stay casual with your playtime it may frustrate you. Rocket League is a longtime standard for me too. I jump back into Helldivers2 every so often. Just depends on what hits the mood.
Helldivers 2
I wanna try arc raiders, but I don’t have the time to invest in it
Huntdown, Lovers in a dangerous spacetime, Savage Planet, ARC Raiders, Sanctum 2
Does Rocket League count?
Only if you get them quick chatting.
anything that has co-op abilities, and where I don’t need to play with randoms. private co-op/single player games. genre doesn’t matter, just be fun.
Path of Exile 2 is decent, especially if you have a buddy to level up with.
Depends on what games you enjoy the most…
Certainly not of broad appeal, but I’m currently playing Nightreign. I think it’s worth it if you enjoy soulslikes.
You’re about to find me as insufferable as a Souls fan.
I can’t stand Souls-likes. It’s the opposite of joy in gaming.
DOTA2
d&d :)
We play a lot of couch coöp at our house:
- Spelunky (1&2)
- Moving Out (1&2)
- Pikmin 3
- River City Girls (1&2)
- Super Mario (World, Wonder)
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Stardew Valley
I really enjoyed playing Split Fiction, It takes two & A way out.
2 player co-op, only one person needs to buy the games (free friend pass available). I’ve played them all multiple times with different friends and we always had a blast.
A Way Out was the weakest of the bunch but it was also their first. That studio is absolutely rocking couch coop.
