I’m looking to set up a co-op video game night with my friends and I’m looking for suggestions for a cozy game we can all play together virtually. We all enjoy Stardew Valley but we’ve all played it and I’d like to start something new with them. Looking for ideas that would allow me to walk away from the computer if I need to take care of my kids but still allows my friends to continue playing.
Here’s some parameters to narrow down the list:
- switch, Steam, or GOG availability
- can walk away and not die without having to pause for my friends
- preferably affordable
- lower graphics requirements, we all have older hardware
- game controller compatible
- fun to play over multiple short sessions
- either 2 player or up to 4 players
Thanks everyone in advance!
Edit: I’m so excited with all the suggestions! I realized I should put co-op in the title and add the number of players. Might be anywhere between 2 and 4. Even the single player suggestions I’ve been getting are so up my alley I’m excited to check them out. This was my first post on this platform and it’s been amazing thank you!


If it makes you feel better i just dug around and went seemingly nowhere for an hour and never played it again so yeah made me feel like i have 50 iq, just literally couldn’t get past starting the game and digging into the earth and never seeing anything lmao
