Rocket League, mostly. I play casual matches with my peeps, but my son and I play competitive together. We’ve won some tournaments, even. We also play Fortnite.
I haven't played either, not because I don't think they're good, but because I'll end up addicted to them, haha.
I'm big into splatoon, and some of friends are varying degrees of also into it, from "as invested as me" to "will play it but will make a good-natured fuss about it". It's the most fun shooter I've ever played, despite its terrible jankiness sometimes.
We also play a lot of boardgames on tabletop sim, if that counts.
Most of my friends aren’t real ‘gamers’, but they’ll enjoy playing things like Geoguessr and scriblio, so we still get to play games.
We have like a solid list that goes back a few years
- Age of Empires II
- Homeworld 2
- Counterstrike
- Dawn of War
- Titanfall 2
- Call of Duty 2
But we just added some new ones:
- Spellforce 3 and
- Diablo IV
Bro, dawn of war is what pushed me to build my first powerful gaming PC back in, like, 2008ish
It's still so good multiplayer. Easily one of our favourites.
League of Legends, but with the attitude of "We really need to try more games, but this is the only one we all play."
We've also played Overwatch and FFXIV, but they don't really stick that well long term.
I wish I had friends who play what I play. I'd love to get back into Guild Wars 2, but I just never have a group to play with!
And, my friends are never playing when I play, but back in College, my friends and I would play CSGO, Minecraft, Oldschool Runescape, and a few other games.
Oh man, please hit me up if you'd like to jump into GW2. One of my favourite things in any game is just adventuring across the land, doing quests, uncovering and discussing characters and lore, slowly improving out items together without worrying about "trading efficiently", taking on little challenges like Dungeons or bosses, etc.
I've also gotten into Raiding lately with other first timers. We literally just go in without reading any guides, no roles assigned, and just try to work out how to get past each encounter/boss together.

Tbh the GW2 community is lovely as they come, might be worth just trying to scope out a guild that has similar interests to you and making friends that way. I didn't have friends that played guild wars 2 when I started but I met plenty through the game and it's been super fun
I'm new to Lemmy and couldn't find a way to tag you, so apologies for that! But my reply to Skiptrace was also kind of a reply to you :)
We keep coming back to Risk of Rain 2
Team Fortress 2! We queue Casual and just laugh at funny ragdolls, cosmetics, and the bizarre fever dream interactions that can only happen in TF2 😅
I've been playing Sons of the Forest with my friends. It's still in Alpha so it's been fun discovering the game together through the regular updates.
Fortnite has been our go-to for the last 3 years.
Quite impressive, considering I thought my friend was kidding when she asked me to play it with her. But it's been hella fun since!
We usually play Dead by Daylight until we get one bullshit killer too many, then we rage quit and play a few rounds of Awesomenauts. We only play with/vs bots because it's basically a dead game, but it's still fun as hell.
We go through phases. The game we will always return to when there's a new one is Monster Hunter, but we've played other games sporadically over the years. Most recently has been path of exile, which I normally get bored of relatively quickly but it's much more fun with friends.
Our current rotation of games is GTFO, Back 4 Blood, Ready or Not, Starship Troopers: Extermination and The Division 2.
We used to play quite a bit of Grand Theft Auto Online (PC), but too many games got ruined by blatant cheaters and griefers so we quit. We also had a Project Zomboid server, which was super fun, need to go back to that game sometime!
Is Back 4 Blood any good now? I played at launch and it was ROUGH. Devs really seemed like they didn't know what they were doing most of the time.
Terraria Minetest Minecraft Team Fortress 2 Factorio
Mechabellum, Fortnite no build, pummel party
Mostly Rust, these days. However, we have played (and enjoyed) Valheim, Satisfactory, Raft, For the King and Heroes of the Storm. I want to get back to multiplayer Minecraft again though. Playing alone is getting old.
I built one of my best friends a retro gaming station out of a raspberry pi 2. Its called the Nicolas Cage SuperStation. We've been playing old school streets of rage with our ps4 controllers.
You can download the operating system, LakkaOS, from here: https://www.lakka.tv/
We also play Death Stranding and were about to get into the new Marathon too
Typically we break into smaller groups to play gta v or golf with your friends. But we have a valheim server we chill on and this week we all got really into battle bits
It used to be Overwatch but I definitely feel like we're drifting away from it thanks to the chsnges made in Overwatch 2.
Hopefully we can all migrate back to Final Fantasy XIV. That was very chill and the game itself is amazing!
