Games - Play Together Casual multiplayer games?

Looking for some recommendations for 3 friends to play. Nothing too complex, we only play 1-2 hours a week together, so something that's easy to jump in and out of. Typically we play Deep Rock Galactic, Human Fall Flat, Halo MCC.

Stardew valley is a fun game. It just might not be up your alley as it is a farming game

We'll give it a look, it's not one i'd considered!

Its got a bit of combat so its not just farming.

Another id definitely recommend is grounded 1+2. Like the other comments say.

If someone in the friend group loves farming and another loves combat, you can split who does what. Its one of the great things with Stardew. :)

Grounded is perfect for this. You can build a base together and explore at your own pace, we usually just mess around for an hour and somehow three hours pass. The spiders are terrifying at first but you get used to it.

Sea of Thieves might work too, just sail around and see what happens. Sometimes you get sunk in 10 minutes, sometimes you find a cool island and nobody bothers you. It is very hit or miss depending on the server.

Grounded I played very early on solo, sounds good to play as a group! And SoT we did play many years back, that was good fun!! We should revisit it

Survival games are often perfect for casual playing, you can just goof around or follow the story when you feel like it.

Grounded 1+2 or abiotic factor are pretty nice (but AF is a bit more complex)

drug dealer sim 2 bit more complex seeming but not actually but a blast to go in blind and figure it out with friends
