This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Rotwood is a good one. Co-op Roguelite beat-em-up from the Don't Starve guys.

Lethal Company is just lots of fun, we've gotten too much time out of that dumb game. Maybe check out Content Warning if you like LC but want a change.

Outward is a fantastic old-school RPG for two people, has all the traits of a game from 2002

Palworld - haven't hopped back into this one since its launch but have been meaning to. But this type of game is definitely not underrepresented on the market.

Escape Simulator is a nice stress-free co-op escape room game, lots of official content and also has Steam Workshop so there's tons of great content.

PlateUp! if you're not worried about getting into a fight over how awful your buddy is at making food

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is a Zelda-like RPG that's a surprising amount of fun for how simple the game first looks.

Other bigname recs: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Baldur's Gate 3, Sea of Thieves, Deep Rock Galactic, Stardew Valley

Outward is definitely not for everyone, but it felt to me like playing Morrowind for the first time. Not in the dialogue or character writing but in terms of looking at a weird thing on the horizon and asking myself 'WTF IS THAT'.

My wife and I bounced after the brutal difficulty and made it to the next biome.

It was kind of fun that every fight was a life or death experience. But we never felt like we were getting stronger or things ever got easier.

I didn't mind, as I play Dark Souls. But for my wife who like to max-level then steamroll things, this was driving her crazy.

Yeah the only progression is in terms of gear really. There are some skills you can buy but they don't seem to matter as much as a good weapon or shield.

My wife and I loved Escape Academy. The narrative structure made it more interesting. And the puzzles were more sillier in nature, like solving things while escaping a flood. Or trying to land a airplane.

We bounced off of Escape Simulato.
