What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?
So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren’t co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.
Valheim
Left4Dead2 can be played by 1-4 players. Empty player slots are filled by AI bots.
Pills here!

Can vouch for Deep Rock Galactic, Ember Knights, Ultimate Chicken Horse, and Factorio
Edit: Pulsar: Lost Colony is also good, but you’ll need to have two bots as well
Factorio is a dangerous, but very fun, suggestion =)
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is fantastic.
Came here to recommend this one too!
Me too!
Didn’t realize it could do more than 2! That’s wonderful!

This is true but the invasion mechanics can make it very stressful for new players. Its worth the investment though!

Ohhh mod, my dumb ass read mode and I thought you just meant “seamless” reltive to the other soulsborne games
Astroneer, Raft, and if you like mindless indie stuff Generation Zero.
Remnant 1 & 2 if you like souls type third person shooters.
Dungeon of the Endless and the new version Endless Dungeon.
Unsorted, quick and probably incomplete list of my personal favourites:
Dude, where Terraria, Magicka 2 and Stardew Valley at??
In your comment? ;)
I didn’t realize Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime did more than 2! That’s great!
Keep in mind, that whenever the Yamato Cannon is fired, all players simultaneously have to shout “YAMATOOO” :D
I haven’t seen it mentioned, but Minecraft is also multiplayer.
As is the open variant: Minetest (Mineclone mod if you want vanilla)!
Ever heard of the Trine series? 5 games by now (can only speak about the first 4 though), and they are really fun together. Basically 2d puzzle games with 3 different characters that all have their own abilities, which leads to many different ways to solve puzzles. Highly recommended.
I also highly recommend the trine series.
Unreal Tournament 2004, with few players it turns its normal frantic and fast paced gameplay into a suspensfull slower experience which is awesome.
I think you can get it on the internet archive as it stopped being sold on gog and steam this spring.
OpenRA - Do you remember the old classic series Command & Conquer ?
OpenRA takes the old original game, updates the controls to modern RTS controls, add new ai to play against, add support for modern resolutions and adds a good internet multiplayer system, all of this for free!
OpenRA can be downloaded att https://openra.net
For the king. Made for 3 people
Trine 2! It’s a side-scrolling action/puzzle platformer, and a rare game actually made for 3.
Nobody mentioned the finals. Free to play fps competitive shooter with teams of 3. It’s been crazy addictive for my friends and I. If you like fast paced hectic fps games it’s loads of fun.
Remnant 1 and 2 are both 3 players
Elden Ring with the seamless COOP mod has been very fun for my two friends and me. The experience isn’t 100% perfect (some bugs) but exploring the Lands Between with buddies and fighting the bosses together has easily been in my top 3 COOP experiences up until now.
