Today, I recommend some multiplayer online games that are particularly well received on Steam, suitable for players with 2 or more friends to play happily ~~
The following games are all played by me and my friends, covering multiple genres and playing for a long time, without further ado, let's get straight to the point, the following rankings are ranked from least to most players.
Travels for two
Steam positive rating: 95% Up to 2 players
This is a multiplayer cooperative action-adventure game, supported at most and only supports two-player local or online online play (you can also play left and right if you have the ability), buying a game can make two people happy, and this game is also the 2021 TGA Game of the Year, its quality is unquestionable.
The game tells the story of parents who are about to divorce and magically enter the body of a doll made by their daughter, who at first just want to change back into human form, and then gradually find the love between the two in this adventure.
Although the normal game flow is only about 10 hours, the game does a combination of plot and mechanics, and there are many tricks played, each chapter has a different way of playing, and interspersed with various mini-games and different game forms, funny and subversive imagination.
And the game is not only novel gameplay, the visual effects are also shocking, the producer has buried a lot of Easter eggs in the game, it can be said that as long as you have a friend, then this is the game you must play in this life.
Codename: Tango
Steam positive rating: 88% Up to 2 players
Codename: Tango is an asymmetrical co-op game with a spy theme, where you and your friends play as agents and hackers as they complete a variety of dangerous missions in a near-futuristic high-tech world.
The agents in the game and the hackers need to complete the game content is completely different, such as the agent needs to infiltrate the target location alone, steal information, bypass the drone, defuse the bomb, etc... Because of this, Agent players usually see real-world images, and they need good skills to complete the mission.
And the hacker is almost always in the virtual network, where he can cover the sky with one hand, and what he does requires wisdom beyond ordinary people: call up monitoring, assist in picking locks, crack passwords, hack into machines, etc...
The two play the game from different perspectives, and they can't see each other's information, which especially requires players to collaborate through voice to successfully complete the task, this process is quite joyful, don't think that the game is very simple Oh, in the oppressive countdown can you calmly think about communicating with friends and solving the current puzzle is a big test of your friendship (love) in the game.
Overall this is a very creative game, the puzzles are carefully designed to be both challenging and not too difficult, and the atmosphere created by the puzzle solving process is very good, and with the excellent art and music, the player feels like a real agent and is in the middle of it.
In the same boat
Steam rating 82% Up to 2 players
"Together in the Boat" English original name ship of fools, meaning the ship of fools, people are a little confused, on the contrary, together in the same boat can make people simply and intuitively understand the meaning of the game, as long as this is a sailing two-player cooperative roguelite game, I believe you can also guess what kind of game this is.
In the game, players will set sail with their AI teammates or your friends, ride the waves, and explore the map, and we need to loot as many treasures as possible in the limited time available, arming ourselves and the ships.
In battle, two sailors will take up their oars and fight back from the enemy, or use the cannon to defeat the monsters approaching the ship, and finally defeat the sea monsters in the wind and waves to save the world.
At the beginning of each game, we have to plan our route on a randomly generated nautical chart and find as many bullets and trinkets as possible before darkness erodes your ship.
However, because the game's props are too conservative and the meat pigeon element is too light (more maps and more bosses would be better), the game could not be completely interesting and support the player's game time.
The single-player game of this work can be said to be almost no fun, it can be seen that the direction of the developer's development is also two-person cooperation, but the process is too short and the price is too high, in fact, the style and gameplay of the game itself are not bad, and it will not feel so boring to play, provided that you have a good friend to accompany you.
Nioh 2
Steam rating 88% Up to 3 players
"Nioh 2" that took a long time to clear with friends really gave me a big surprise, "Nioh 2" has basically got rid of the shadow of soul games, I like its rich action, because the protagonist of this work, Shu Chiyo, is a half-demon, so this work adds monster skills, monsterization and other characteristic systems, and the others basically follow the setting of the 1st generation, and the attack method is divided into upper, middle and lower three stages: posture, guardian spirit, ninjutsu, yin-yang jutsu, and the key setting that makes the protagonist's action seem less clumsy: "Broken Heart".
This work also adds several new weapons based on the previous game, bringing the total number of weapons to 11, namely knives, double knives, big knives, spinning sticks, lock sickles, guns, beak scythes, axes, hand axes, machine sticks, hand armor, each weapon has unique moves, styles, genres and skills, such a rich combat system can be said to be the only one in all ARPGs, even if you are not a weapon master, I dare say that the content of the main process cleared once is enough for you to play.
The online mode is one of the best things I think Nioh 2 is worth boasting about, and it's really hard work on the difficulty system to make it fun for all light and heavy players.
Whether you are summoning rare people to take you flying, or summoning AI computers with the same level and equipment as the player to help you kill enemies through the Blade Tsukazuka, you can enjoy the game while playing with reduced difficulty.
Of course, my most recommended is to accompany you to open up to 2 friends and clear all the main and side stories, which can be regarded as a complete alternative game for Nioh 2.
Because the original death is fated and starts again in multiplayer mode no longer exists, when one of the team dies, the others will not follow the same place to ascend to the sky, but continue to cut the resurrection bar, as long as you can resurrect your teammates in time, you can also reduce the consumption of the resurrection bar, you can continue to break through the level before the resurrection bar is exhausted, and the player can fight until the last person falls in the boss battle.
This design greatly improves the fault tolerance rate of the game and greatly reduces the difficulty.
At this time, it is no longer like a soul like game, you can use it as a multiplayer online version of "Ninja Dragon Sword Den", although there is no dragon brother in the game, but the quality of "Nioh 2" is not inferior to the "Ninja Dragon Sword Den" series known as the three ACT, I highly recommend!
Trinity 4
Steam positive rating: 90% Up to 3 players
Since its debut in 2009, Trinity has produced 4 titles, each of which is similar, and behind the evolving graphics, the game still follows its core design philosophy: the use of the abilities of the three protagonists, the knight is responsible for fighting, the female archer is responsible for jumping and ranged attacks, and the mage is responsible for building the platform.
With medieval fantasy, beautiful scenes, ingenious level design, and Scottish music, Trinity is a childhood memory and one of my favorite game series.
For my King
Steam positive rating: 88% Up to 3 players
This is a turn-based game with a running group mechanism, the events encountered by players after choosing their class are completely random, the tests encountered need to be tested randomly with various abilities, how many steps to move in the large map need to roll dice, and the battle also needs to roll dice...
This mechanic makes the game very dramatic: sometimes you'll see an extreme crotch-pulling performance of consecutive failures, sometimes you'll see a teammate's supernatural performance, teammates will even celebrate you after taking out enemies (like the bard playing a short piano), a turn due to randomness in a desperate situation, and sudden changes when everything is going well, which can really bring you and your friends a very cheerful experience in multiplayer.
And the fairytale narrative of the game allows you to experience the humor of the game at the beginning of the game: in the first copy, the elderly king is captured by evil wizards, there is no one to send in the city, and the queen gathers civilians to rescue the king (player's class: blacksmith, woodcutter, hunter, etc...). ）。
As for the end of this adventure, the commoners became heroes, but the king was not rescued, because we died with the king and the villain...
It should be noted that the quality of this game server is really a bit poor, and you may need to turn on the accelerator to successfully connect.
Monster Hunter World: Icefield
Ontology Steam positive rating: 87%
Icefield Steam Rating: 56% Up to 4 players
Monster Hunter is definitely the pinnacle of fighting games, and the biggest improvement in this game is a huge improvement in the game's graphics compared to previous games, and the game that has been discontinued has a large amount of playable content, which will definitely amaze all new and old Monster Hunter fans.
Although the types of weapons and basic derivative actions have not been greatly changed, but the design of projectors and flying claws, the connection of regional maps when hunting, no longer have to pose stupidly when taking medicine, etc. are considered a major change in the series, in addition, the action Tianzun is really dead in terms of action design and strike feeling, although the weapons have not increased, but the feel is solid, and a lot of new actions have been added compared to the previous work.
When friends succeed in hunting new monsters together, the sense of achievement and happiness is not available in many other games, challenging powerful colognes, honing their skills in cat cars again and again, and brushing materials together to make stronger equipment are all very happy things, so that you unknowingly spend hundreds of hours in it.
If you like the old monster hunting style, you can also start "Monster Hunter Rise: Dawn", since the game has not been updated, the author is still playing, so I will not make a detailed recommendation for the time being.
Borderlands 3
Steam positive rating: 84% Up to 4 players
"Borderlands 3" as an equipment-driven shooter, a variety of guns have always been the biggest selling point of the series, this time the gun effect is more evolved, because the drop rate of golden equipment is greatly increased and all with an additional red letter effect, which also has a variety of strange effects: guns that automatically shoot enemies, guns that throw turrets and drones, guns that fire guns, dung guns, guns that bullets will eject, wave guns, etc...
The game is not only guns, grenades, shields, class mods, artifacts all make this "Borderlands 3" more playable, and because of the unknown red letter effect, many guns if you only look at the panel without equipping two shots do not know how strong it is.
In addition, from the game's capacity of up to 138G, you can see how rich the content of this work is, in addition to the guns mentioned above, the adventure area of this game has also expanded from Pandora to the entire galaxy, with multiple super maps and many side quests.
The gun is the absolute protagonist of this work, show off the magic gun you got when multiplayer is online, show off the damage you hit, make the battlefield dazzling, bragging while shooting is the greatest fun of this work, as for the plot, let him go ~
Deep Rock Galaxy
Steam positive rating: 97% Up to 4 players
This is a multiplayer cooperative sci-fi first-person shooter, the maps in each game are randomly generated, and the terrain is 100% destructible.
There are two parts of the game as a whole, one is to explore mining, the other is FPS combat, at the beginning of the mission we need to explore in a randomly generated cave, face the attack of the insect tide together, after mining enough target minerals, you can call the flight pod, and then the player needs to break through from the insect tide within the specified time limit to escape.
There are four classes in the game: engineer, machine gunner, scout, and driller, each class has different fixed weapons, in addition to the main and secondary weapons, grenade functions are different, each class has its own special weapons
Each class has its own role, attack, support, and mobile work together, and all players need to work together to complete the mission in different missions.
Group annihilation is the norm in this game in the early stage, and the difficulty is still relatively high, but after completing the mission, you will also get a full sense of achievement, which is suitable for brush games and FPS enthusiasts.
Adventure in the Rain 2
Steam positive rating: 96% Up to 4 players
Adventure in the Rain 2 is a third-person shooter meat pigeon game with very pleasant graphics and low requirements, but the light pollution full screen in the later game can make people dizzy.
The gameplay is based on a cycle of finding teleportation points in each level of the game→ opening teleportation points→ defeating bosses→ reaching the next level.
However, because of the increasingly difficult design of the game time, and the challenge of the mountain of the source of all evil scattered throughout the map (into three bosses), it is also possible that we have found the teleportation point→ this wave is very strong, opening the teleportation point→ being defeated by the boss→ starting the cycle again.
During the game, we can get money by defeating enemies, open treasure chests to enhance our abilities, and carry various props to combine various magical effects is one of the great fun of the game.
In addition, having multiple characters with different skills is also a highlight of the game, each character has a different gameplay and build routine, so bring your friends to brush the dark in the game! (Friends who have finished brushing the body can also enter the DLC Void Relic to get more content)
Divine Original Sin 2
Steam positive rating: 95% Up to 4 players
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a rare multiplayer CRPG, and it is considered one of the best PC role-playing games of all time, and it is arguably the critically acclaimed game that raises the bar in the RPG industry.
The biggest feature of this game is its high degree of freedom, deep game system, super strategic combat system, and 4-player fun design.
However, when playing with multiple people, the plot is often confused, because it is always "hey, someone hit me, come quickly", "I have a fight here, come quickly" or "there seems to be an enemy in front, come quickly", it can be imagined that the level of joy is full, and the control of the plot is directly equal to nothing.
If you're looking for an online multiplayer game, I recommend trying Divinity: Original Sin 2, as the experience is truly unprecedented.
Road to Survival 2
Steam positive rating: 97% Up to 4 players
Younger friends may not know much about this game, but Road to Survival 2 is a first-person shooter co-op zombie game where players take on the role of one of four newborn survivors and three other companions fighting to the death in the zombie horde, using various firearms to shoot the guys who are desperate to rush at you in an attempt to escape this zombie-occupied territory.
Although this game was first released in 2009, 13 years have passed, but because of the existence of the Steam Workshop, this game has maintained its vitality, until now there are many players online, you have to remember that mods and friends are the true meaning of this game, and if you master the correct way to open it, you will definitely get different happiness in the game.
JEDI SUBMARINES HELLDIVERS
Steam positive rating: 92% Up to 4 players
This is a shooter with a tilt view, with a strong emphasis on cooperation, and can be played by 4 players on the same screen or online.
I found a lot of familiar elements when I first played this game, first of all, friendly damage, friendly firepower will cause damage to themselves, a round of strafing will kill several teammates, you have to lie down to dodge; Then there are the commands, you can set the weapons and support you carry before entering the mission, and if you want to use these supports in the game, you have to enter various commands: up, down, left, right, ABXY and so on.
What do you think of when you see these two points?
Yes, this game was developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, which developed Magic Energy, which makes the whole game full of witty and fun cheerful atmosphere, and I definitely recommend Magic Energy.
If you prefer a futuristic sci-fi style, choose Jedi Submariners.
If you prefer medieval magic, then choose Magic Energy!
Lost City
Steam rating 86% Up to 4 players
This is one of the most outstanding board games in the world, the game has won many awards, and after being made into a video game, it saves the trouble of arranging, tidying, recording, settling and calling a few offline friends to team up.
The game itself is an American board game with tactical strategy elements and dungeon adventures, using the form of card battles, playing a lot of tricks, and also making me and my friends have a lot of fun.
I won't explain the specific rules of the game in detail here, because I know that even if I say it, everyone won't bother to look at it.
As long as you know that each level and enemy in the game has special rules, different characters have different routines, teammates can cooperate with each other, you can also pit each other, plus the freely adjustable difficulty system directly fills the strategy and fun of the game.
After playing for a while, we also chose to buy the DLC "Lion's Jaw" (White Failed >_<), which has more missions and more characters, and characters are arguably the most important element of this game, each character has their own unique cards and routines.
Boost your city's prosperity level and reputation, and instantly get new characters to full level and enough gold to buy a certain amount of equipment, and you'll immediately understand the fun of the game.
Developing your favorite characters, then playing amazing roles with your teammates in battle, and the exploration elements in the game are also a highlight of the game, which greatly increases the fun of the game and is the main reason why I recommend this game, which is recommended for all players who like to play cards and strategy games. (Tips: You need to apply Chinese patches by yourself, and you need an accelerator online)
Surviving in confinement
Steam rating 89% Up to 4 players
"Survival in Confinement" is also called "Microworld Adventure", which should be the most fun survival sandbox game in 2022, the gameplay is similar to the "Valhalla" that caught fire in previous years, the basic process is to collect resources, build and fight.
The difference is that the player is no longer a savage Viking, but an unexpectedly shrunken modern person, no longer dealing with strange monsters, but insects that have become "behemoths".
The zoomed-down exploration is easily reminiscent of Two-Man Walk, which caught fire a few years ago, but the genre of this game is completely different.
The first is the subject matter, in Surviving Confinement, players will explore in their own backyard, and we have to be more cautious in the face of tiny creatures that were once overlooked, which is unique in survival building games.
Then there are different game types, "Survival of Confinement" as a sandbox game focuses on multiplayer fun, really play this kind of game with friends to feel the fun of the whole life, the program effect is full, really fun and funny.
Little Tina's wonderland
Steam rating 77% Up to 4 players
As a spin-off of "Borderlands", the quality of "Little Tina's Wonderlands" is absolutely guaranteed and worthy of all friends who like FPS.
Although the series has been quite a success, it does not blindly keep old, but combines DND with brush FPS.
Players are no longer choosing a certain person in the game, but a class (which also leads to ugly characters no matter how they pinch), each class has different characteristics and skills, and the combination of main and secondary class characteristics will make you have an extraordinary happy experience.
In addition, the melee attack in this work is no longer a chicken rib in the 3rd generation, players have more choices in the combination of their own game routines, and the combination of classes also makes the game more playable, and choosing different classes will get a completely different game experience.
Picking up and exploring the best weapons and playing the coolest combat experience is at the heart of the game, plus the series is as good as ever Chinese voice acting and the whole programming effect, if you happen to love the Borderlands series, then I must recommend Little Tina's Wonderlands!
Although online is fun, there is also a problem with online connection, that is, the light pollution is too serious, and you will be blinded by the various attack effects of your teammates while playing, which is a small drawback.
Astral Frontier
Steam positive rating: 91% Up to 8 players
"Astral Frontier" can also be called the space version of "Terraria", which is a sandbox action-adventure game set in a sci-fi setting, where the protagonist has to build his own house on different planets to protect himself, dig different minerals, craft various advanced weapons, and fight different alien creatures to survive and travel in the vast galaxy.
You can drive spaceships and mechs between the major galaxies, survive, fight, build, explore, story, all kinds of weapons... There are all kinds of things, and the Workshop makes the game have countless novelties, if you are tired of playing Terraria, try "Astral Frontier" by the same author.
Valhalla
Steam rating: 95% Up to 10 players
As a 3D sandbox game, first of all, I have to say that this game looks very rough, really visible to the naked eye, the game capacity, start menu and pinching interface all feel extremely cheap, but although the sparrow is small, this game can be said to be the masterpiece of this type of game, the gameplay content is very rich and really fun.
We are born naked, and then like every sandbox game, we need to pick up branches, stones, make axes, cut trees...
However, this game is not a simple sandbox game aimed at survival, we are told at the beginning of the game that we need to defeat the evil spirits scattered on the map, and then we need to constantly strengthen ourselves and defeat more powerful bosses.
It's fun to fight monsters and upgrade equipment, and it's fun to focus on building, but I personally think the most fun thing about this game lies in the 100 ways to die in Yingling: chopping trees and being smashed to death, hunting being arched by wild boars, being killed by tree spirits, being poisoned, swimming and drowning, climbing mountains and falling to death, etc...
Outrageous points are also such as being burned to death by teammates on a bonfire, roasting meat indoors and being smoked to death, anyway, there is no way to die that you can't imagine, there is a lot of time when we are not dying, or on the way to running corpses, the joy is abnormal, and the program effect is full.
Because you need to find the boss all over the map, it is inevitable to go out, and because the difficulty of the game is not low, many times straying into a high-level area is a second, and when it is well equipped, it may also die tragically for various reasons, so basically play every day and watch your teammates make stupid or make stupid yourself to get a happy game experience.
Age of Empires series
The three works have a positive rating of 94%/81%/86% on Steam, respectively, and support up to N players
I don't know how many RTS players there are now, but I really like RTS, although I don't play very well, but I just love to play.
Here is also thanks to Microsoft's banknote ability, so that "Age of Empires" can live to the present, it not only brings us "Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition", "Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition", but also brings us a new sequel "Age of Empires 4".
No matter which title of the Age of Empires series is still played online, you don't have to worry about finding opponents online.
If you're as unskilled as me, you can also ask your friends to fight against the AI, whether it's a cooperative campaign or a custom battle, you can have fun in the game, here is a brief introduction to the difference between the three games:
Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is relatively simple, and the threshold for getting started is low, because it is still so original, everyone basically knows how to play, and the differences between each civilization are not much, which is more suitable for players who want nostalgia.
Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition adds a new card system compared to its predecessor, allowing a civilization to develop a completely different strategy through card combination, making the system more complex and more playable.
I personally think that "Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition" is stronger than "Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition", and the differences between each country are very large, especially the development models of countries in different states can be said to be completely different, and the game is cool and fun to play.
Age of Empires 4 is stronger than its predecessor in all aspects, whether it is the quality of graphics, sound effects, campaign plot, or other innovations, it is quite excellent in the series, of course, the price is higher, it is recommended that new players who have the conditions and no nostalgic needs to start the new work.
You draw I guess
Steam positive rating: 85% Up to 16 players
You draw I guess this game should have been played by many people, one person draws for a limited time, and other people guess what he draws.
However, this "Draw & Guess" is also about you drawing me guessing, but it magnifies the joy of you drawing me guess countless times, because the various ghost works we can see in a game have multiplied several times, and the results of guessing are more and more bizarre.
The rules of the game are that the next player guesses the word that the previous player's drawing wants to express, and then passes this word to another person and then lets him draw it, at the end of the loop, each player has to guess a player's word, which can be simply understood as drawing I guess solitaire for you
As stated in the official synopsis, you'll soon notice that this isn't the game's greatest fun, and it's the game's greatest joy to watch your elaborate drawings being completely misunderstood in the summary screen.
Interested friends can go to station B to find the relevant video of this game, from wig→ baldness→ what is Zhang Jike, from Lu Benwei → milk tea → orange juice is what's going on, you can't imagine how this is crooked without watching the process, I believe you will soon fall off with laughter in the process of playing this game.
The price of 15 yuan is very close to the people, which is the price of a cup of milk tea, and there is also a traditional you draw I guess mode in the game, with a variety of strange entries in the creative workshop, pull up your good friends to try it together.
M industry
Steam positive rating: 96% Up to N players
Factorio
Steam positive rating: 98% Up to N players
Both games are a kind of gameplay, I'll put them together.
Whether it is M Industries or Factorio, their basic gameplay is production, construction, simulation and tower defense battles, players will personally design and build industrial production lines in the game, keep them running efficiently, and continue to produce more and more complex industrial products.
Players must use their imagination to create their own automated assembly complexes by combining simple equipment such as conveyor belts, robotic arms, and assembly machines to create their own automated assembly production complex, while also creating defenses to confront the enemy.
In the multiplayer co-op mode, your friends can help you build the assembly line and deal with the problems on the assembly line, which is very suitable for multiplayer play, M Industry is relatively simple and cheap, "Factorio" is more hardcore and more expensive, you can buy the game according to your needs.
Screenshot of "M Industry":
Factorio screenshot:
Goose duck kill
Steam rating 86% Up to N players
"Goose Duck Kill" is a werewolf killing game similar to "Among us" that became popular some time ago because of the anchor program effect, free, excellent local Chinese and other reasons, also known as the werewolf killing goose version.
There are three factions in the game, namely the good guy faction geese, the bad guy faction duck, and the neutral faction.
Like the Space Werewolf Kill, the geese have to complete various missions in a closed map, where when the body is found, they can gather all the members to meet and vote to find the prisoner, and the ducks must find the opportunity to kill all the good people.
In addition, players will be randomly assigned to different classes, which have completely different special skills, which makes the game a little more fun.
Coupled with the neutral camp with full vitality, such as the Dumb Bird needs to let himself be voted out to win, the Pelicans can eat other players, and the pigeons have to secretly spread the plague, these give the game more uncertainty and program effects.
Of course, the game also has a bad point, that is, the game experience of playing with passers-by is completely different from person to person, because more and more players are pouring in, "Goose and Duck Kill" has a complex and professional set of gameplay and rules compared to the beginning, which is actually quite unfriendly for newcomers to play the game, if you are a social fear player, then I only recommend you to play this game with friends, if you are a social cow, then I believe you must have been enjoying the game for a long time.
epilogue
Although I have written so much, in fact, many games are not so fun, as far as my personal situation is concerned, I will think that the fun is mostly because someone plays with me, think about it, if the above games are only supported single-player, then it is probably difficult for me to clear a few.
I don't know what you think? After reading this article, will you want to pull up your friends to play two games together?
