Randoms in Phasmophobia tend to either be useless or assholes. Demonologist is even worse in this regard as every single person seems to be a raging dickbag.

R.E.P.O, and Abiotic Factor are the main games of my friend group right now.

Been having a Retvrn to Diablo 1 with family lately, using the DevilutionX sourceport(?) thing.

DX adds tons of options to customize the game, enable easter eggs, and adds a shared stash and a ""sprint"" function in town.

It's great to just stomp through the dungeon, especially with 1 ranger and 1 sorcerer, only thing that presented a challenge was doing Butcher right away.

Also been trying out Dungeon Siege 2 co-op, but that's kicking our asses. Early game DSiege 2 has big jumps in enemy difficulty, with all the minibosses that hang around the Morden Towers and each new enemy introduced seeming to 2-hit each party member for a couple levels.

Lethal Company sucks ass and so does REPO. Only kids or manchildren npcs play it. I can attest to this because ive had the displeasure of matching with people through their discord. Public lobbies exist in lethal company and its full of weird faggots and kids. No doubt alot of grooming goes on in that game. The games themselves are terrible. You go in to some shitty place and collect items and then return. There are monsters that might kill you. You can buy upgrades and items. Boring shit.

Play Left 4 Dead/Payday 2/Phasmophobia with randoms. You'll quickly hate randoms and wish you had friends.

I've had good experiences only in payday 2. Never tried phasmophobia. Left 4 dead is full of tryhard faggot rushers.

The quality of randoms has declined across the board.

True. In games with a class system like Battlefield, most people play like if it was a Battle Royale or an Esport sweaty competition. Medics don't heal or revive, support don't resupply ammo, etc.
In Killing Floor 2 I see a lot of people who don't play the objective (stay in the zone for an entire wave) or they go to the other side of the map alone even in harder difficulty.

Has 2024-5 offered any good co-op games? Something that isn't just a grinding survival sim or a mmo looter shooter.

I keep waiting for good co-op to play with the boys, but everything this past month has been mid at best. Keeping fingers crossed for Kingmakers. I also enjoy a bit of farming/fishing/cleaning slop, so maybe Goblin Cleanup will turn out fun.

Abyssus. The best way for me to describe it is like a hybrid between Gunfire Reborn and Hades. It's a fairly simple game. Some things are better than others and by the time you figure out what's good, you'll have beat the game. The lads and I got about ten hours out of it before being able to consistently win. We didn't feel the need to clear it on anything beyond the base difficulty. It's good but not worth full price. It's also fine in solo.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Any suggestions for Switch games?

Yes. As mentioned by others, It Takes Two is a fantastic game. It is easily the best co-op game I have ever played. It just gets better and better as you progress through the game. The only thing I didn't like was the stupid,

Spoiler

Spanish Book of Love character but you can skip his scenes anyway.

The female lead is incredibly annoying and constantly belittles and talks down the husband. It gets annoying when you notice she's such a bitch to everyone.
