Recommend me a game please 😁👍 Multiplayer strategy or RPG!

[Bingo]

Hi there me and a friend are looking for a new game to get stuck into....

We like fantasy / historical / sci-fi, either strategy or RPG mainly.

Any decent new stuff on the PC in the last year or so?

Cheers

Single player : horizon zero dawn has just been released on PC
Multi Player : The division 2 is a great co-op shooter thing set in Washington DC after a pandemic

Fantasy 4x strategy game. Steep learning curve with basic graphics.

Destiny 2 is quite fun until it suddenly really isn't.

If it's RTS multiplayer you're after I'd give Northgard a look. It's a very engaging take on classic RTS skirmish which to me is like a mash of up Age of Empires 2 and Settlers. It also has a co-op campaign mode called Conquest if you'd rather play together.

Offworld Trading Company is in my opinion the smartest RTS design to come out in the last decade. You're not marching armies around but building resource production and processing, any micro is entirely around playing the market. Much more fun than it sounds and very quick matches.

Panzer Corps 2 is pretty fun if by historical and strategy you mean tanks, artillery and infantry.

If you don't have it, its 2016, The Witcher 3, it's beyond amazing. Lead you into CDPR's next hotly anticipated game, Cyberpunk 2077, due November 19th.

As good as your going to get and usually discounted for £10 with all the DLC.

The new Baldurs Gate is due to drop soon also. Magical co-op RPG.

End of this month allegedly.

Also coming soon is Dying Light 2. Zombie survival RPG that you can play in co-op. In the meantime you could play the previous iteration.

Dying Light is pretty much everything I hate about games. But I played it for 50 hours, finished it, and really liked it.

Borderlands 3 is great fun in co-op and is 50% off at the moment. More Sci-fi FPS than RPG though.

I mostly play co-op (it’s a good way to hang out with a mate in a socially distanced way ) which is why I had it on my radar really.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Of course the best historical strategy games are Paradox titles. The learning curve is less steep than it used to be but I’m not sure how good doing multiplayer with a friend would be unless you both picked major powers either in alliance or against each other.

Really looking forward to the new Baldurs Gate, if it's good then it's going to be amaaaazzziiinng

Me too. I had a lot of fun with the one circa mid naughties (didn’t bother with its re-skin a few years back) but it’s clearly now matured into something even better.

It's based on the latest edition of the actual tabletop game which is the best ever. So I have really high hopes! It'll certainly be about time anyway

 

[Magnus McGinty]

I didn’t even realise there was a tabletop game.

Dungeons and dragons?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Haven’t played that in... 30 years! Google confirms you’re correct though.
