Title. I’d like to play more with friends and family, and I’d like to do that IRL. It’s gotta be available on PC, though, I don’t own a console.

    Magicka and Magicka 2 are magic casting games that are absolutely hilarious and will have you freezing, soaking, burning, crushing and electrocuting your team mates all as you frantically try to combat enemies.

    Terraria. Seriously. Do a blind play through without a wiki. Super duper fun. It can be short or hundreds of hours, depending on your style. Great for groups as well, as it requires a surprising amount of team work.

    Good party games:

    • Ultimate Chicken Horse
    • Gang Beasts
    • Unspottable

    More intense coop:

    • Gauntlet
    • Cuphead
    • Spelunky

    I’ve heard good things about DuneCrawl, but I’ve never played it.

    If you are looking for a horror movie type experience, Until Dawn and The Quarry are great. You pass the controller when the character changes, but they’re designed to be enjoyed by a group.

    We’re currently playing Sunderfolk, it’s a great game so far, kids and grown ups (it’s got a bunch of reading and strategy, so it depends on the kid)

    As someone else said, Jackbox games are plenty fun, much lighter, each party pack has 4-5 different games, and they go on sale often on steam. Look through the videos for each pack to get an idea of the games it comes with.

    Another vote for Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.

    If you like electronic dance music, Just Shapes and Beats.

    If you liked Eye of the Beholder and wish there were a co-op Minecraft-visuals version, it’s Barony.

    Overcooked 1 and 2

    Cooking game they even most inept video gamers can enjoy.

    If they are good enough, try Plate Up for a more difficult similar game.
