      It’s fine. There’s friendly fire. You can have accidents.

      Oh, or just play with carefully-chosen friends. It sucks as a solo experience, but with friends the gameplay loop is actually excellent. Especially for friendship groups that can only afford to play an hour or two (or less) at a time.

        Yeah, excepting myself my gaming group are all dads now so our playtime has become increasingly limited. Plus we are spread around 4 countries. We were trying a co-op BG3 campaign on weekends, but having to have everybody on for an extended time period was hard.

        Helldivers is great because we can play with however many we have, the time investment is fairly low, and even if I miss a week or two I can still contribute to the squad at a lower level.

          The new Season 11 updates to Sea of Thieves are great for your situation too. That’s always been an excellent game for friend groups but always asked too much of your time until they revised how voyages work.
