Shared: Wave Defense, 4-Player Co-op

Round-based survival where your kill count is literally your bank balance. Eight remastered classics, a deep mod scene, and a wall you hit hard around round 20.

Shared: Day-Night Cycle

Crash a plane, lose your son, then spend 30+ hours building spike traps and slowly losing your mind to cannibals. Solo or with up to 8 friends online, this one earns its Metacritic 83.

Shared: 4-Player Co-op

Four players, one alien ocean, and enough existential dread to ruin a perfectly good Friday night. Subnautica 2 is an Early Access survival game that already hooks hard, but it stops dead before you're ready for it to.

Shared: tier:aaa

Four years in early access forged something genuinely worth your time: a co-op survival builder that starts punishing and ends with you proudly steering a multi-story floating fortress. Solo players, brace for a rough first two hours.

Shared: 4-Player Co-op

A roguelike third-person shooter that keeps pulling you back for one more run, stacking absurd item combos until your screen is pure chaos and your hands refuse to stop.
