FTL: Faster Than Light

Stick Fight: The Game
Shared: Short Sessions
Physics-based stick figure brawler built for chaotic local and online multiplayer. Four players, one screen, zero dignity.

Darkest Dungeon®
84
Shared: Permadeath
Stress kills faster than swords here, and your Vestal will crack before your Leper lands a hit. Whether that loop hooks you or breaks you is the only question worth asking.

#4
The Long Dark
77
Shared: Permadeath
A brutally honest survival sim where the Canadian wilderness is the only villain. No zombies, no jump scares, just cold math and bad decisions.

Don't Starve Together
83
Shared: Permadeath
Surviving alone was already brutal - surviving with friends who make catastrophic decisions is another beast entirely. A deep, unforgiving co-op survival game that rewards patience, preparation, and someone on the team who knows what a Science Machine actually does.
