What games do you play? Who do you play with?

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve struggled to keep up with multiplayer games. I don’t really want to play unless I have someone to play with, and finding someone to play with is more trouble than it’s worth. I have friends and family who game, but we always run into one of two main problems: -1) Our schedules simply refuse to align, or -2) We can’t agree on what to play.

I’m always on the lookout for cool indie multiplayer games, whether that means large-scale like Battlebit or small-scale like Deep Rock Galactic. Some of my friends are either always chasing that absolute latest game (i don’t), or they’re real into MMOs (I’m not), or they have very particular preferences about which aesthetics they will take a chance on. It’s a struggle, but I’m always working to figure it out.

So what do you think? How have you fit multiplayer gaming into your life?

    I used to play competitive FPS like CS, but can’t stand competitive games, or more specially the behaviour of people in competitive games these days.

    PvE is usually my preference. Starship Troopers Extermination is/was great while it lasted and I’m hoping it has some tidal resurgence with subsequent releases.

    Otherwise I play mostly soulsborne games and avoid most of the PvP aspects even with the absence of voice comms, but do prefer that style over anything else.
