    Deep Rock Galactic and Helldivers 2 are the ones I play. Usually at 2 players.

    Helldivers 2 is pretty good. Surprisingly not toxic/salty for how big it is.

      Can you elaborate? Specifically because almost all of the negative Steam reviews, of which there are many, say more or less the opposite - that it tries to do that, but fails to capture what made Remnant so good.

      (Not to criticize your opinion, to be clear; it's on sale and I was strongly considering it as someone who likes Remnant. Sell it for me?)

      Are you sure it's all negative? Because on my steam the base game is "Mostly positive". The DLCs are "Mixed" and outside of the The awakened king I can't say much about the DLCs.

      As for my short review. I'm not sure what those people think Remnant 1 was about but for me it was unique worlds, unique builds and unique enemies. Those things together give you an unique gameplay experience and Remnant 2 expands on all of those things.

      The aesthetic was excellent in Remnant and Remnant 2 continues that by making those worlds even more detailed. There were multiple times where I just looked in awe at what the artists had concocted together. The only time where I felt the artistic vision wearing thin was literally the end of the game. I have vivid memories of all the worlds that are available in adventure mode, the final area ended up being unremarkable compared to everything that had come before it.

      The builds in Remnant were pretty unique but I personally felt like the game didn't give you enough tools early game to mid game to really build something out. You had guns, armor, trinkets, traits and mods but it all felt kinda constrained. Remnant 2 expands that by additionally giving you class archetypes, weapon mutators and you can modify the relic (the heart thingy that heals you in Remnant 1) and add relic fragments. All all those things individually are also expanded. Compared to the first game you're going to get more guns, more armors, more rings, more amulets, just more of everything necessary to make a build.

      The enemies in Remnant were great, an excellent mix of small enemies, minibosses and big bosses. Remnant 2 expands all of them with an even greater mix of small enemies, minibosses and big bosses. I'm not going to spoil any bosses but I definitely found them fun and memorable. The final boss is the only exception that comes to mind as I remember that being a frustrating fight.

      The only objectively negative thing I can say about Remnant 2 was the performance. I don't know if they've released some patches for it, but when I played around the launch of the awakened king it was borderline unplayable without upscaling.

        I didn't say that the overall review is 'mostly negative', to be clear; I said that almost all of the (many) negative reviews that exist seem to be talking about the failure to live up to remnant 1.

        Thanks for the detailed review; it's helpful to have a nice comparison between the two. I did enjoy Remnant 1 quite a bit. Would you say the DLC you played is worth buying even considering the generally mixed reviews?

          Wondering what the people on Lemmy think 🙂

          Looking for stuff to play mostly with 2 players, but anything is fine.

          I looked through https://store.steampowered.com/category/action_fps/?facets13268=6%3A1&flavor=contenthub_toprated (Shooters with tag "coop") but for some reason there's stuff like Counter-Strike and Team Fortress etc. in there, and while you can play those cooperatively, really they're competitive games.

          Synthetik. Insane coop shooter that has the most dopamine inducing gameplay I've ever experienced.

          Out of all the games here, this one is the absolute hidden gem. Because nobody has heard about it. But they absolutely should.

            I found the solo play of both Remnant games really unsatisfying. Slow pacing, uninteresting enemies. Is it much better with friends?

            I haven't played much of singleplayer but I did find it engaging with friends, especially the bosses.

                      I still like warframe, even though it has a few headaches in there that make it more annoying than it needs to be. I don't want to trade my ducat fodder or passive rep for slots and potatoes every time a new update comes out. But I do like dressing up my space dolls and blasting my trumna for hours on end

                        I only know about it because Ssethtzeentach made a video about it. Dude is the king of finding random games you've never heard of that are totally awesome. Kenshi, too.

                                Earth Defence Force. Basically, you are participating in a B-movie scenario, with UFOs, kaiju, giant ants, flamethrower clams, and winged frogs. It is quite a good time, and the higher difficulties require genuine skill and cooperation.

                                EDF 6 is the best in the series from a gameplay standpoint, but is far weaker than 4 or 5 when it comes to the level design + narrative. Still, the QOL pushes the game to the next level, especially if you got pals to tackle the missions. There many different weapons, not just in power, but also shot pattern, reload style, knockback, and so forth. Also, there WILL be hundreds of enemies on onscreen at any given moment. Each of the four classes have very distinct characteristics when it comes to loadout, mobility, and purpose, so you should be able to find a good match for yourself.

                                Earth Defense Force 6 - trailer

                                    I've not joined their discord or other. Thanks for the heads up.

                                    I swear, the best way to experience Helldivers 2's community is to just be decent in games with randoms, maybe watch CommissarKai's videos (do not go into the comments section) for tips on teamplay, and absolutely positively do not venture into the steam forums, the discord, or any other big discussion forum centered around the game because it w i l l be a cesspit, unfortunately. The Steam forums have the usual toxic trolls, but the Discord (and other hubs) is usually having furious arguments over buffs, nerfs, what is meta, what isn't, what should be done what shouldn't be and so on. For a silly little PvE co-op power fantasy game.

                                    I'm not sure if Deep Rock Galactic has this problem, I've played it and it all seemed pretty positive but I never got into the game as much as I did HD2.

                                      Prodeus is a fun multiplayer DOOM-like with old school vibes

                                        Wondering what the people on Lemmy think 🙂

                                        Looking for stuff to play mostly with 2 players, but anything is fine.

                                        I looked through https://store.steampowered.com/category/action_fps/?facets13268=6%3A1&flavor=contenthub_toprated (Shooters with tag "coop") but for some reason there's stuff like Counter-Strike and Team Fortress etc. in there, and while you can play those cooperatively, really they're competitive games.
