they should make games that are more fun than programming
[note: this is not a glowing recommendation of programming]

i'm looking at my steam library and my thoughts are "i'd rather write a webdav server"

do you understand
(please recommend me multiplayer coop games that are actually fun. team pvp is fine too if i can make a team with like 2 people total and have it work)

@whitequark I can warmheartedly recommend Deep Rock Galactic !

- PvE co-op up to 4 people (closer to 4 is better imho).
- Single-purchase game, no microtransactions bullshit.
- Overall pretty simple mechanics, generally good vibes.
- If you resort to matchmaking, possibly nicest game community I've ever gotten to play with
- Lore is simple but fun. Game and devs don't take themselves seriously. Just so good overall !

@whitequark

(I've seen your answer dismissing satisfactory as too close to programming, I get it and assume that rules factorio out too. Also, I've seen a mention of pvp, not sure if that includes fps or not ^^')

(Also, if you're unsure but want to give it a try with someone familiar with the game, feel free to ping me ;) )

@toadjaune yeah i'm fine with fps

@whitequark well then, I'll let the trailer do its job :)

I realize I somehow forgot to explicitcly mention what I think makes it so good :
There are 4 classes, and the game is built around making them naturally synergize. That's why 4 dwarves (one of each class) is ideal, although 3 works just fine. 2 is a bit unwieldy imho but does work. Solo is fine (a bot accompanies you to compensate) but kinda sad.

(again, feel free to hit me, should you want to try :) )
