Shared: tier:aaa, Wave Defense
A third-person class shooter that genuinely does not care how serious you take your aim - and somehow that is its whole selling point, backed by 14 distinct classes and enough co-op chaos to keep casual lobbies alive a decade later.

Darkest Dungeon®

#5
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.
