I'm trying to find a game to play with a friend. Here are the criteria:

  • Online co-op (ideally a campaign, but arcade games and other friendslop works)
  • Runs on old hardware - specifically a 8th gen i5 and a 1050
  • Runs on Linux
  • No/few zombies - I.E. no Half Life, no Left 4 Dead. Minecraft is Abstract enough to be fine, as is Vampire Survivors. Gmod is fine because the zombies are easy to avoid.
  • Not too hard to learn - I.E. not Dota 2, not a Paradox game, not even most RTSs
  • Faster paced/more interactive - something like Slay the Spire or Stardew Valley is probably okay, but not Civ or a CRPG

    Asterisk on free. Steam version, last I checked, is normally $9.99USD full price. Cheap enough if you wanna support the devs, but having a free version to see if you and your friends are gonna like it also really helps.
