      Supposed to be a wave shooter with satire along the lines of Starship Troopers. Like most games these days, it appears to rely on playing with three friends to be fun. Oh, and their new DRM might have killed Steam Deck/Linux compatibility.

        You can play with sticks and rocks with 3 friends and still have a good time.

        I’m not a fan of the co-op being what makes a game fun because I’m in my 30s and cant organise 3 friends to play a game of anything.

          I’m not saying that this game will be the best example, but there are lots of ways the co-op of a game can be really great for reasons beyond it just being a game you play with your friends. Off the top of my head, my favorites are the ones that really make you communicate in order to overcome the challenge. This developer also made Magicka and the first Helldivers, and it was so easy to accidentally friendly fire your teammates in those games that everyone gets plenty of laughs out of it.
