I'm looking for Steam games I can play with my partner. Open to couch co-op or online, controller or mouse/keyboard. We both have low-mid range gaming PCs. Involving other players is fine (friends or randoms), but ideally getting the best out of the game with just the two of us. I think we've played most of the really obvious contenders, so totally open to more out there options. The list below is what we've played so far, I'll give a rating and a brief note about how we found playing them in case it's of use to someone else. We tend not to play brutally hard games. **Deep Rock Galactic** \- 9/10. Incredibly fun team FPS. Has a very silly feel, but the gameplay is really interesting, varied and challenging. Designed for 4 player teams but we've always played it with 2 and never felt we were missing out. Probably our most played game. **Minecraft** \- 8/10. Everyone knows about Minecraft at this point. It's a massive sandbox with terrible graphics! Mods completely change the game. **Valheim** \- 8/10. Basically a viking fantasy sandbox. Quirky and at times, really hard, but beautiful and every time you play it you feel like you're on an adventure. **Overcooked 1/2** \- 8/10. Fantastic and frantic team cooking game. This is one of the few games we went back over the levels and tried to do better. Warning, can cause major arguments! :) **Borderlands 1/2/3** \- 7/10. Very fun and very silly FPS, the randomly generated weapons are bonkers, but you do get tired of having to sort through all the dropped items looking for the good stuff. **Portal 2** \- 7/10. Really enjoyed this but the 2 player campaign is a little short and the community levels hit and miss. **Stardew Valley** \- 7/10. Lovely game, but after a few in game years and opening up most of what's available it got a bit samey. **It Takes Two** \- 6/10. Again a lovely game and totally enjoyed it, but after completing it we don't feel any need to go back. Games we tried that didn't really work for us - **No Man's Sky** \- 4/10. This is a great game and I really enjoyed it single player, but trying to play it together we were just in each other's way. **Cuphead** \- 3/10. We managed to get to the second island, but this is just too brutally hard to be fun for us! EDIT - Some commenters have suggested games that I forgot we've already played! I'll add them below - **Path of Exile** \- 7/10. Great game (and free!) but we found that we were underpowered later in the game with our own builds. Ended up having to start again with builds we found online. **PlateUp!** \- 7/10. Definitely a distinct game from Overcooked despite the theme, but if you like one you'll probably like the other. Slightly less polished than OC. Campaign has a roguelike structure.

I feel like we all have that one game we tried out of curiosity, low expectations, or because a friend insisted and then suddenly it became one of our favorites ever. I feel like these kinds of unexpected experiences are some of the best in gaming, and I’d love to find more titles like that so tell me what is yours?

She has never played a game before, doesn't like too much action, but doesn't want it to be too peaceful... I kinda want her to try some sort of horror game maybe?

Basically fun games that also teach you some life stuff that are useful

I find myself a bit bored lately, I really want a game I can sink my teeth into, with plenty to do but without it getting tedious or a grind. Not crazy difficult either. I'd just give up if I can't get past something to play something else instead. Red Dead Redemption 2 I have played, though that is a game I'll never bother with the challenges or perfect pelts with. Stuff like that is too tedious for me. I have the main Sims series though sadly 3 which I'd want to play most keeps crashing, Sims 4 has too many annoyances to deal with and Sims 2 can feel a bit limited. Baldur's Gate 3 I have finished, started some other playthroughs but currently I am still on a break from it. Other games I have already played that I feel fit the bill are Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, AC Odyssey, AC Valhalla, X-COM 2, half the total war series, Neverwinter Nights, Gladius, Marvel Midnight Suns, Age of Wonders 3, 4 and Planetfall, Fable 1, 2 and 3, The Witcher 3. Currently not looking for a strategy game, at least not one where there's control over a whole nation, but something small scale like X-COM 2 would be fine. Also no farming, sports or racing. I guess I'm looking more in the RPG, open world, character customisation kind of direction, on PC. With full controller support if I'd otherwise need to constantly walk using the keyboard, there's a tension in my hands that won't allow that.

I’ve always been curious about what people consider their “perfect game.” So imagine this: you wake up tomorrow with unlimited budget, full creative freedom, and a team ready to build anything you want. What kind of game would you make? I’d love to hear ALL the details: Setting / world, art style, core mechanics, combat (if any), progression system, single-player or multiplayer, inspirations, things you hate and would never include, what makes your game special

I cannot get through the story, design and interfaz of Persona and do not like parry and evade as the main focus for not dying of the new title, I prefer some old stats like evasion and buffs or debuffs and well, there can be parry mechanic like that but not as primordial and more like an optional resource for mitigate damage. Any suggestions?

I've had an itch to play a game. I actually don't think you'll be able to help me out because what I'm looking for is kind of unrealistic. Here's my steam profile just incase: [https://steamcommunity.com/id/PKmask/](https://steamcommunity.com/id/PKmask/) I am 23 years old. Last year of B.S. in engineering and will be pursuing an M.S. next year. So not much time to play hardcore games and I spend most of my free time still trying to be productive, though I'm definitely a gamer (the PC kind). I LOVE MMORPGs. I played WoW Classic when it came out in 2019, which led me to ESO, Albion Online, and WoW Retail. I mostly prefer PvP content in all of those. I must say, I'd play any of those a lot more if I just had a good guild in any of them. (Just hopped on the Ashes of Creation hype.) I also love war games and FPS games. ArmA 3 was so much fun, although one really bad Zeus pushed me away. I played the hell out of every single CoD Modern Warfare (the OGs on my cousin's PS3 as a kid and the new ones on my own rig). I have 2000 hours on Rainbow Six Siege, I keep getting pushed away by hackers then coming back when it resurges. I also have 1400 hours on CSGO, I loved it in middle school but it's too much for me now (skill-wise). I think what I want is a community-oriented PvP game that's actually enjoyable. But the style of community I'm looking for is impossible to achieve in this era of the internet. I also don't want a game that's a fad for 3 weeks and disappears (splitgate, the Finals, etc.). I love my friends, but I think I'd rather hang out with them in real life than to play games with them. Most of them are also too busy for gaming nowadays. Do I already own the game that I want (Albion, ESO, WoW, etc.), and I just need friends to play them with? or am I right and those types of communities are impossible in this era? Is it time to quit searching and just play EVE Online...?

I kinda want to play an extraction shooter but the problem is, i suck at "tactical" pvp games cause they're full of sweats that play the game 25h a day and you cannot learn the game if you don't even survive 5minutes before losing all of your gear which leads to more losses. is there any more casual ES out there that i don't have to sell my soul for and aren't 70€?

Something like Pizza Tower. I played so many story rich games that I think I went kinda insane. So I would I like a game, that's mostly gameplay but with a great soundtrack to groove with.

My cat died this morning, at 4am. He was only 5 years old. I have a month off work, I need a game to help me cope with his loss, im an absolute mess right now and so is my girlfriend. Any suggestions?

I’ve found a bit more time to play some games and getting caught up. I just played Titanfall 2 and Witcher 3. Looking for my next kick. I have: Alan Wake. AC Origins. Mass Effect Legenday. CE 33. Detroit become human. Shadow of Mordor. Mafia 1,2 or 3. GTA V (story). Watchdogs 2. Uncharted. GoW (original)

I’m really glad to have brought the game to release. Since launch, it has gathered over 600 reviews and holds a 68% rating - a great result for such a strange, cozy, and quirky game. In the previous trailer, I received a lot of negative feedback about using AI-generated cards. Many liked the game idea but were put off by the AI art. I fixed that! All cards are now hand-drawn. This is a slightly crazy but heartfelt landfill simulator. Dig through endless mountains of trash, uncover lost cards, and rebuild the collection you spent years creating - after one unlucky trip to the garbage destroyed everything. Now it’s just you, a cart, and thousands of tons of filth… but you will find them. Every. Last. Card. The game is fun and meaningful. You rescue birds trapped in garbage in-game, and in real life, help birds in need. We donate $0.10 per copy sold to BirdLife International. Thanks to everyone following, playing, reviewing, streaming, or just smiling at the title. Your support keeps this trash-filled crazy project alive!

I am announcing Craftlings today, and it will come to Steam on January 15, 2026, for Windows PC. It will cost 14,99$. What is Craftlings? Inspired by legendary classics from the ’90s, Craftlings will take you on a journey full of strategic decisions and test your skills in optimizing automated production chains and Craftlings’ movement paths. Gather, deliver, build, and fight for wealth and glory in the unique, nostalgic world of Craftlings I have been developing this almost entirely alone for the last 4 years. You can support my work by wishlisting the game on Steam if you like the concept: [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1771110/Craftlings](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1771110/Craftlings)

Im relatively new to open world games and the only game ive played (open world) till now is Elden ring and ive been searching for new ones that could give me a feeling similar to elden ring and adventure . Im probably buying Assassin's Creed Origins (since its 5 dollars right now on Steam) but wondering if i buy Ghost of tsushima since it does look cool

Im curious about how fast i should pick up time stranger if it's on sale. I love digimon. Seen most of the series' i don't know everything but I love how the digivolution is animated. Feels like a true evolution. Should I suck it up and grab it full price or wait for a sale? Since I need to create a post with 300 characters in basically just typing for the rest.

I want a game with like a really cool cinematic vibe. I like the cowboy kinda games. Don’t really like older games. I am perfectly fine with low graphics, just stylised. I like ultrakill, and that game has a ‘low’ graphics, but it is stylised, which is why im fine with it. Just mostly games with a lot of badass-ness. Really like cinematic stuff. Like getting goosebumps - ish. I’ve liked other games like silksong, which might help

The new Total war: Warhammer 40k looks great but I have no idea where to start with these games. The whole universe looks pretty overwhelming to get into. Any thoughts on where someone should start? I have also never played any Total War games so some recommendations on those as well would be helpful.

[ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/930908185603309516/ ](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/930908185603309516/) Or [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton) Both those images are the same. I want a game with that kinda vibe. The more similar the better. That’s about it. It would be appreciated if the game was less realistic, cuz my pc Isnt that strong. Still do recommend those though. Want good combat that is pretty fast paced. Also I don’t want it to be like really deep complex fantasy.

I like these types of games, building, strategic thinking, replayability. I currently own both *RimWorld* and *Factorio* and really enjoy them. I’ve considered adding *Oxygen Not Included*, but from an ignorant perspective, I thought maybe my needs for this genre are already covered by the other two, but I could be wrong. What do you think?

One of my favourite things about Elden Ring is how exploration feels genuinely rewarding. You wander off the main path, check some random ruin or cave, and you might come back with a powerful weapon, a unique spell, or something that completely changes your build. It never feels like you are wasting your time. I’m looking for more games that do this well. I’m looking for “oh wow” moments where exploring off the beaten path gives meaningful loot or upgrades. Open world or semi open world is fine. RPGs, action RPGs, even immersive sims are welcome. Any recommendations? Thanks! Games I’ve played that might fit in the category: Elden ring Witcher 3 Borderlands 1,2,3 Remnant 1,2

I don’t really have any experience with CRPGs, and I’m not usually into horror games. That said, I played the original RE4 when I was a kid, so nostalgia might be doing some heavy lifting for the RE side 😅 On the other hand, I keep seeing Baldur’s Gate 3 everywhere and it seems like it has a huge player base, so I’m curious what makes it click for so many people and if it’s friendly for someone totally new to CRPGs. Would love to hear your thoughts.

There’s obviously been a lot of KCD posts, I hope this is unique enough to justify the post. I definitely want to play KCD2 and am leaning towards going straight into it, but I’ve seen some posts say KCD1 story is better and important for doing before KCD2. I’m a little worried about gameplay and combat difficulty. Baldurs Gate is one of the only games I’ve ever fully completed twice. I love the conversation part of it. Disco Elysium blew my mind, I loved just hanging out. RDR2 is my favorite game ever and I *loved* the story, never felt like I was missing out because I didn’t play the first. I want to play Elden Ring bad but I haven’t been able to get out of the first area with a few starting attempts. The combat was super tough for me in the first bit. Like not a fun kind of tough (I love the Ghost Tsushima/Yotei games… and I regularly put it on easy if a boss kicks my ass for 20 minutes). Same thing with E33, I try to play on normal but pretty regularly have to put it on easy to get past certain areas. I tried to get into the Oblivion remake after hearing about it for so many years, but there’s something about the gameplay that feels dated in a way that stopped me from ever getting into it. Even the graphics felt a little lame when played after newer games. I keep hearing KCD takes patience. But is it just the willingness to be slow? Or do you need to be meticulous too? (Like are there parts that you can do kind of mindlessly? Or is it challenging in all of its elements?) I love wondering and talking to random people to immerse myself in the world. I get frustrated with difficult combat. TLDR is something like: is the KCD1 story really better and super important to 2 (in a way that a YouTube recap wouldn’t fulfill)? How much harder is the combat in KCD1 than 2, is it close to Elden Ring difficulty? Does KCD1 feel aged in gameplay or graphics? How much time is chill exploring/talking vs gotta pay close attention exploring/talking?

Been looking for a modern “Conker’s Bad Fur Day” type of game where you have a seemingly innocent 3D platformer that’s crude and M rated. Heard that Hell Pie was the closest thing to that. Those of you that have played it would you recommend it? Or is it too juvenile? Any other M rated comedy games somewhat in this realm you’d recommend I’d gladly appreciate

I was going through steam and the game was at a discount. Initial bad reviews and performance issues have made me a bit hesitant but some players play this game for hours to no end. I like a game with a lot of stuff to do. Feels like money well spent but in this case i dont wanna spend money just because its cheap. BTW i m running a **7700xt** alongside a **r7 5800x** with a **1440p** monitor. Will that be good enough to get at least **60 fps** at decent settings? I want a **fairly long game that has a ton of content** and something that also runs fairly well on my setup. Is monster hunter worth it? Thank you!!!!

Hey lads, just watched some cool InFamous gameplay and I'm feeling a bit sad since InFamous isn't PC ported. So, I'm reaching out to everyone to suggest any games where you have cool superpowers or even some magic spells you could use. Great videogames examples such as Prototype for its amazing gameplay with its powers, and Oblivion with its unique magic system. Cheers lads.

Hey all, so recently I've been looking at some colony sim/management games and stumbled across some new ones. The reviews seem good, so I am at a loss for which one to try. The ones I am looking at are Norland Whiskerwood Ratopia Medieval Dynasty They all have unique features that draw me to each of them, so I mainly would like to know if you have any of these (or more than one) and which one you would prioritize, since I plan to only buy one.

Hi i have my eye on 3 games I've never played a souls like game but I obviously like the look of Elden Ring but I played a demo of Lords of The Fallen and liked it but also like the look of Witchfire, have any of you guys played these what game would u recommend me to get?? All 3 look good I've only played the demo but watched youtube videos and they all look great
