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

There’s a game I’ve seen a lot of YouTubers starting to play over the last week or two that looks a lot of fun - Mecca Chameleon

Online multiplayer. One person is hunter, others are hiders. The twist is that you can paint your character. So you find a hiding spot, and then paint yourself to blend in to your surroundings

I don’t know if it’s what you’re after, but it looks like a lot of fun

    Unfortunately, its really hardware-intensive. It uses ray-tracing, so it struggles to run even on my 5th-gen Ryzen, RTX3050 system. If you have a large enough group and can run it, its pretty fun, though.
