Hello! I already have some games that I’ll buy form the steam sale but I want to also buy some kind of online game. Any recommendations? For genres, I mainly prefer FPS’s but I am ok with everything.

    Nabbed battlebit on Steam. Definitely worth the money if you like the battlefield type series. Mindless fun.

      Battlebit has replaced Mordhau (for now) as my brainless relaxation game. The FPS mechanics are surprisingly solid and it’s just good, chaotic fun. I do think the netcode feels a little last-gen, but you’re not playing this game to be a CS:GO master.

      It looks pretty fun! I’ll look more into it but I l’ll probably buy it! My main problem is that I read somewhere that they are planning to use faceit and I use linux and as far as I now faceit doesn’t work on linux.

        They’re not really DLCs, just cosmetic packs that you can get if you play for long enough. The actual DLCs are the seasonal updates.

        I actually only recently picked up some of the dlc’s cause they were on sale for like $2.50 a pop. Though they really are just cosmetics. I’d also put in enough hours into the game, where I felt pretty good about essentially donating to the dev’s.

    Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Battlebit Remastered. Ridiculous value. Yeah it’s low poly but you stop seeing that after around 5 minutes.

        I should add that it isn’t perfect, it’s early access so expect some weirdness albeit a whole lot less than you’d think.

        My favourite, for example: if you’re hiding behind cover make sure it is THICK, else a body part might clip through the model making it able to be shot. Mostly happens when prone making legs and feet stick out.

    Hunt Showdown is on offer at the moment. It’s quite a learning curve but once you get the hang of it it’s fantastic. I’ve clocked 2.4k hours and it’s still got me hooked

        They did shake up the economy but it was nothing serious. There were a bunch of cry babies like this on Reddit and discord.

        At the end of the day you only need Blood Bonds to buy some legendary weapons/hunter/tool skins which are purely cosmetic and have nothing to do with the main game loop.

        Some skins/cosmetics can also be earned in game without using premium currency.

        I bought most DLC and blood bond skins because they cool and I want to support a game I love

        2400 hours of fun for the €20 I paid for Hunt is damn good value

      Hunt is like a more accessible version of Tarkov, without the loot Tetris, gun modding, and crazy detailed ballistics, set in a cool Lovecraftian late 19th century iteration of Louisiana’s swamps. Strongly recommend! (To anyone concerned about monetisation, outside buying the game, everything else is entirely cosmetic.)

      A great Hunt player on YouTube for anyone who’s interested, super chill guy: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vayVqO9MwQA

      Instead of BF, I would try out BattleBit. It’s an Indie game that’s very similar to BF and got very popular recently.It’s supposed to be BF but actually good.

      OP asked for Multiplayer games. However, I do endorse Outer Wilds being on this list even if it is single player.
