What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?
So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren’t co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.
Valheim
Left4Dead2 can be played by 1-4 players. Empty player slots are filled by AI bots.
Pills here!

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is fantastic.
Came here to recommend this one too!
Me too!
Didn’t realize it could do more than 2! That’s wonderful!
Can vouch for Deep Rock Galactic, Ember Knights, Ultimate Chicken Horse, and Factorio
Edit: Pulsar: Lost Colony is also good, but you’ll need to have two bots as well
Factorio is a dangerous, but very fun, suggestion =)

This is true but the invasion mechanics can make it very stressful for new players. Its worth the investment though!

Ohhh mod, my dumb ass read mode and I thought you just meant “seamless” reltive to the other soulsborne games
Ever heard of the Trine series? 5 games by now (can only speak about the first 4 though), and they are really fun together. Basically 2d puzzle games with 3 different characters that all have their own abilities, which leads to many different ways to solve puzzles. Highly recommended.
I also highly recommend the trine series.
Unsorted, quick and probably incomplete list of my personal favourites:
Dude, where Terraria, Magicka 2 and Stardew Valley at??
In your comment? ;)
I didn’t realize Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime did more than 2! That’s great!
Keep in mind, that whenever the Yamato Cannon is fired, all players simultaneously have to shout “YAMATOOO” :D
For the king. Made for 3 people
Sea of Thieves
I’m in a poly throuple and we play these games:
-League of Legends
-Super Mecha Champions (It’s like Apex but with bots and the real players aren’t as good so we don’t get absolutely crushed every time we play which is nice)
-Stardew Valley
-Eternal Return (League + Battle Royale)
-Divinity 2
-Overcooked
-Borderlands
-FF14
-Tabletop Simulator (Board Games)
does that mean a relationship between three people? that’s interesting. mind me asking if that was something everyone already knew they were open to? or was it kind of like, two were together then they decided they were open to a third?
Yeah! For us it was me (male) and my girlfriend who have been together 5ish years at the time and we met a girl who we really meshed with and became good friends with. Our friends joked around that we should just all date each other since we hung out so much. One day we got drunk and admitted we’d be open to it so we asked each other out and have been a throuple since!
Most of our friend group is very accepting. Our families, however, are not lol.
cool! good on you. i love hearing about how different everyone’s forms of happiness can be, sorry your families don’t seem to. hopefully they’ll warm up to it eventually
Deep Rock Galactic!
Online or offline multi-player?
As for couch coop Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends is some of the most fun I ever had with friends gaming.
Both actually! Two different groups of 3. Offline bunch has ended up doing baba is you for the last year or so (not coop, but puzzles are pretty easy to backseat game).
Remnant 1 and 2 are both 3 players
If you have VR headsets, Walkabout Mini-Golf is surprisingly fun. In fact, I’d argue that it only becomes fun with 3 people.
Elden Ring with the seamless COOP mod has been very fun for my two friends and me. The experience isn’t 100% perfect (some bugs) but exploring the Lands Between with buddies and fighting the bosses together has easily been in my top 3 COOP experiences up until now.
