Recommendations for fun 3-player video co-op couch games?
I have these two friends I’ve gamed with online for years. Everything from League of Legends to Overwatch, even classic WOW. Anyway, the three of us have decided to meet up for a weekend IRL. I suspect we’ll do a bit of gaming but nobody is bringing their own consoles obviously, so what could I buy to play 3-person couch co-op? I know that’s kind of an outdated way to play, but someone out there has to making some sick couch co-op games, right? I have my PC hooked up to my TV so anything I can get on Steam or Epic should be on the list. I don’t mind spending a few dollars either if the games are really good. Thoughts?
