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?

For some slightly less common games: “Golf with your friends” is a great mini game to play, effectively really crazy golf online

“From the Depths” build ships/planes/tanks with entirely custom guns, engines etc. then play on the campaign map with fleets of these ships. you can make some really complicated vehicles if that’s your thing. Unlimited player count as far as I’m aware.

A less deep version of that is “Avorion” mine resources to build custom ships (less complicated) then even small fleets and do quests, make allies/enemies as you venture to the centre of the galaxy. Supports unlimited players as far as I’m aware. It also allows you to form an alliance to share resources with other players.

I think elder scrolls online has 4 player dungeons but questing can mainly be done in a large group

https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Grouping#:~:text=Regular Groups consist of up,and AvA battles in Cyrodiil

Most of the overland content is so incredibly easy to do solo, its not very fun to do as a group. Cyrodiil or Imperial City pvp might be fun and the base game goes on sale frequently.

Is it pretty close to playing oblivion or skyrim single player?

Kinda but not really. There’s some things that’ll feel familiar but it still is an MMO. There’s abilities and stuff like that, and you’ll want to weave them between your basic attacks.

The main thing that’ll be familiar is some of the locations, if you’ve played morrowind, oblivion, or skyrim. Its also they only MMO that I’ve played where you can steal things that are just lying around, kinda like the main series games.

TTT in GMod is GOAT

There are still MMOs. They can be a blast with a group of friends who consistently play together. Or Ark? Or Rust?

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.

Ones I’ve played, in no particular order

  • Rust
  • Civilization
  • Valheim
  • Project Cars
  • Battlebit
  • Stolen Realm
  • Hell Let Loose

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.

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.

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

Either one is fine

tetr.io could be good

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

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.

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.).

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

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.

@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
