Core Keeper has a Terraria / Zelda: Link to the Past vibe if you are looking for something like that.
Monster Hunter World and/or Rise.
warframe is a lot of fun
You gotta play a few rounds of Golf With Your Friends, it's hysterical!
I would also recommend picking up Tabletop Simulator, the amount of board games that game handles through the Steam Workshop is insane.
If you enjoyed risk of rain 2 I would recommend the binding of Isaac which is another roguelike
Outlast Trials is the big coop fun surprise of the year for me. You can also still buy it 25% off on epic for like 20€ until today.
People should not ignore this game cause it is from the outlast series. This game has way less jumpscares and its more about the tension of being chased all the time. Also way less scary in coop than in solo. It's more like Deadbydaylight meets L4D2 mobs. Level and Character Design reminds me off Bioshock. The coop fun is comparable to Phasmophobia, just less scary but more tense
Overcooked, Overcooked 2, Movin Out, Out of Space, Cod Zombies, PlateUp!
Oh man the Overcooked series is great for multiplayer! Can really cause some heated disagreements at times though lol
Squad! super fun game to play with friends. It's an FPS that isn't as hard to learn as Arma and more milsim than an arcade shooter like battlefield.
The Ascent is fun with friends. It's a cyberpunk diablo style thing.
For your base building survival fix, I highly recommend Raft or Subnautica Nitrox, the unofficial multiplayer mod
If you hate your friends or want to hate your friends, try Pico Park or Overcooked. Also the space game Heavenly Bodies, but it's only 2-player
I would like to add Sanctum 2 as a fun game. Also
- Grounded
- Raft
Insurgency Sandstorm is my go to. 8 player co-op vs ai bots, but with a degree of realism. A well placed headshot will drop an enemy instantly but the same can happen to you.
I don't know how much you'd like it since the shooters on your list aren't super similar, but Xdefiant should be releasing soon and is f2p. I really enjoyed the closed betas. There's an open one June 21-23 if you want to give it a try.
Also if you enjoy roguelites, Crab Champions is cheap and very fun. It's in early access, so there's still a lot more content coming.
I've had a lot of fun playing Grounded. Both with friends and solo. Someone needs to host the session but it is a shared save file that keeps up to date very well. So, any individual can play at any time or up to 4 can play online together.
Saving this post because it's right up my alley so now I have many new games to check out. Project Zomboid is still going strong for us, but here are some others that our group has enjoyed:
Heave Ho: super crude 2D graphics, but absolutely hilarious gameplay
The Ascent: beautiful cyberpunk-themed isometric shooter
Broforce: very entertaining pixel-art 2D platformer/shooter - we played this through to the end, which is rare for us
Overcooked: very entertaining 3D game, not sure what I would even call the genre - a "work" game?
Unrailed: similar to uncooked, but a different kind of "work"
SWAT 4: old 3D FPS, but still good
This is an odd one, but Powerwash Simulator has been an blast for me and my wife. We used to play a lot of Overwatch, but didn't like the new direction with 2. It somehow manages to scratch some of the shooter itch while being really chill.
I feel like there are too many to list, but an obvious one that I don't see mentioned is Halo. The Master Chief Collection is pretty great, and has a ton of content that can all be consumed in short sessions (except for certain levels on legendary difficulty).
It is also still on sale on Steam for a little longer, if you don't have it already.
World War Z Aftermath is a great multiplayer game and also cross-platform!
DayZ can be fun. Building up a base and trying to survive together. A bit of a learning curve but a very social game. Especially if you find a good private PVE server.
