Lethal company is an obvious choice. I think you need a mod to play with 5 people though.
Very easy to mod it thankfully
deep rock galactic along with that, also needs a mod for more than 4 players but it's trivial to get and works well from what i've heard
BattleBit if you liked Battlefield
Well, I'm not sure this is what you're looking for but Tabletop Simulator is a board game simulator that has a diverse category of games in its workshop mod. I'm sure a lot of the games can be played with 5 players.
I came here to say exactly this. My favorite games for 5+ players are Codenames and Sushi Go Party Edition.
Of those on sale-
Terraria
Killing Floor (And 2)
Torchlight 2
Raft
Human Fall Flat
Powerwash Simulator
Torchlight 2 may have been around for a while now, but it's still a great game.
Ultimate Chicken Horse
Great game but sadly has a max of 4 players
In order of casual friendly at top, to real gaming hours at bottom IMO
Sea of Thieves
Valheim
Project Zomboid
Factorio
Where do you guys find people to play with?
I really love co-op games but I don't have many gamer friends and playing with randos who quit mid-game or constantly throw out insults isn't much fun...
Friends from college mostly.
Terraria (I recommend the Thorium mod that add healer and support classes!)
7 Days to die
Talisman Digital Edition
Phasmophobia is the best. Unfortunately only for four players total.
Core Keeper if you want to craft and chill, with some intense combat too sometimes
Lethal company + more company mod. Ready or not. May ruin some friendships..
Don't Starve Together
Fun but also ruthless. Even with YouTube videos I can never seem to get the hang of it.
I've never watched the videos. I read the wiki, but otherwise just wing it. Can't say I'm great at it but I have a lot of fun.
We have been playing Insurgency Sandstorm, I believe it's up to 8 players coop
Tower Unite this is the game my friends and spend the most time in casually, it has so many mini games and it's just weird too.
Stardew Valley I think is up to 5 (the host and 4?), if not then Sunhaven I'm fairly certain it's up to 8, if y'all like farming sim things.
What about games that you can drop in and play with others. I know dead by daylight, matchmaking is easy for strangers to play together online. There’s got to be more games like that.
Civilisation V if you have a lot of time on your hands.
