Good multiplayer games for 3 people (lemmy.world)

What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?

So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren't co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.

I'd just like to provide extra emphasis on Towerfall. One of the GOAT local multiplayer games and only gets better with a third, much like Smash Brothers, Power Stone, etc.

Stellaris allows many players if you like those types of games. Only the host needs dlc if you want to pool your cash and buy some. But yeah it can be expensive.

Since you mention Paradox titles, I'd add Crusader Kings III, Europa Universalis IV, and/or Hearts of Iron 4. Same rules apply for those games' DLC, as well.

OP What games did you guys end up playing or selecting? Also what platform are you playing on?

[–] Artisian@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Somebody dropped a fair bit of cash and got Balders Gate 3 running for everyone. It's been big enough to fill a lot of time, but probably wont solve the problem when we're not all on vacation.

Fortnite supports trios.

Lego Fortnite (Minecraft) is super good and their Guitar Hero clone is also pretty decent for groups

I've never tried the game, but I saw a family play Farming Simulator together on a long flight.

Outriders and Remnant 2. Both solid games and 3p coop.

Takes a bit of getting used to, but Earth Defense Force 4.1 or 5.

100% orange juice is quite nice

My friends and I recently discovered Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and the 3 person coop is a lot of fun.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a 3 man team fighting game.
