Just recently started my fourth playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3, with occasionally playing Starfield and Divinity Original Sin 2.

@azezeB Some suggestions

  1. Dead By Daylight. 5 people with one being the Killer so you can rotate that if desired.
  2. Halo Infinite multiplayer can do 12 person parties for the “Big” map modes.
  3. I believe Lego Fortnite also lets you have up to 8. It’s more Minecraft and not a Battle Royale at all.
  4. Lethal company modded can support more than 4. That could be lots of fun.
  5. Retro FPS like Quake from various years. Just as a small distraction

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)

IGuessThisIsForNSFW,

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.

It’s only 4 players but Baldur’s Gate 3 is so much fun to play coop.

ulo,

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.).

Stardew Valley can be modded to support 8-player sessions but the upcoming 1.6 update will include it natively.

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.

Any console, game is amazing. Bring a dictionary.

  • 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.

tetr.io could be good

(dont enable manual targeting or you’ll ruin friendships)

Muck can be a pretty hilarious time with a bunch of friends. Practically any Halo game has some kind of game mode that a bunch of friends can enjoy.

I’ve found myself playing Armored Core VI with the expanded weapons and balancing update. Burned through my first playthrough, now working on NG+ for more parts. I’ve spent hours designing color schemes for my mechs, and then immediately pounding others into the sand with it. Glorious. Anticipated? The Horizon Forbidden West PC Port, I am going to take 2 days off work when that drops.

You want to ONLY play with your group or are you also wanting to play with others? Or both/either?

azezeB,

Either one is fine

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 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.
