I wish they’d expand on it and have a filter for player count in co-op. I have a game group of five and finding co-op, 5 player games is hard/most of them cap at 4.
The ones that don’t cap at 4 and aren’t requiring high dexterity (i.e. fps) are base building survival games all the way down— which are fine for the most part, don’t get me wrong, I just wish we could find something with the production quality and premise of Outlast Trials.
So far we’ve done: Conan Exiles, The Forest (1 & 2), Astroneer, Core Keeper, Return to Moria, Green Hell (may have been before we were at 4), Demonic, Deep Rock (with a 5 player mod), and a little REPO (which was good, but no progression system yet). I wanted to try Barotrauma but the puppet movement’s a bit janky for me.
I know there’s a third party search engine I can use, but it’s sooo full of junk it’s hard to find anything worthwhile.
Do you know about co-optimus.com? Is that the “third party” you mentioned?
I don’t know of anything better. Setting your filter and sorting by user rating is pretty effective. Aside from that I sort by release date and check back every now and then.

I just now noticed they had a toggle for ‘Released,’ so I don’t have to see a bunch of TBD games. I’m just gonna start doing what you’re doing and keep an eye on the list once in a while. Thank you for the tip!
