I am looking to make some last minute purchases to play with one or more friends, and I have poked around Steam’s Co-Op page. I’m curious what new co-op games everyone on Lemmy is playing.
I just picked up Raft and Deep Rock Galactic the other day, but you can never have too many new (never played) games!
Pay to win isn’t the right label, you’re just paying for access to the content and all games with expansions do that. The main issue for newcomers is how the content is broken up and sold. If you want access to all the content in the game then you need to buy
Lightfall ($25 on sale, $50 normally)
The Legacy Collection ($24 on sale, $60 normally)
The Forsaken Pack ($7 on sale, $20 normally)
And if you want access to all the dungeons you’ll have to buy
The 30th Anniversary Pack ($10 now, $25 normally)
$20 for last year’s dungeons
$20 for this year’s dungeons
And then there’s the season pass for $12
That’s over $100 even on sale, $200 at normal prices.
It’s just an enormous barrier to entry for newcomers and it’s really not clear what you’re even supposed to buy.

Well, I never said it was cheap or straightforward. Just that it’s not pay to win and it’s a fun co-op game.
