Casual, fun, multiplayer games

awec

I play online with a few mates once a week, we mostly play CSGO/LoL/PUBG but sometimes we can't be arsed with the high tension involved in these games.

Other games we play are the likes of Fall Guys, Gang Beasts, Pico Park, Hidden in plain sight. Wouldn't mind a few more games along these same lines, does anyone have any recommendations?

Preferably if they are relatively cheap games on Steam.

Find a way to play Bomberman 93 online? Honestly one of the all time great multiplayer games and the PC engine version is 5 player. There's super Bomberman R and R2 on steam, only played a bit of the first and it felt like the unity game it is.

The new samurai shodown is fantastic and one of the easiest fighting games to get into. All fighters share common inputs for complex moves and there's more emphasis in getting big hits in than combos. Goes on sale regularly and the DLC characters are excellent. Easy enough to set up a lobby and now that it has roll back network code it plays brilliantly online.

Edit: Notice this is on heavy discount on steam at the moment. I'd recommend the DLC characters if it becomes a favourite.

Sonic racing transformed I'd say would be a great laugh.

There's also the slew of recent belt scroller a that are four player like streets of rage 2, river city girls and TMNT shredders revenge.

Overcooked is a multiplayer must and is always on the cheap, not sure if it can be described as anyway chill though.

That game causes more violence than England getting knocked out of the euro finals. It's definitely not chill.

It can, however, be used to gauge the resilience of the relationships in your life. That said, the player vs player multiplayer is a lot less stressful than its campaign.

Thought of a good one, EDF!

It's a dumber jankier version of helldivers 2 but no less fun. EDF 6 is out next week but you can't go wrong with 4.1 and 5 on steam which had been discounted heavily recently.
