Best Multiplayer Games: Squad Up or Stay Lonely?


Look, we’ve all been there. You’re sitting in Discord, staring at your Steam library with your friends, and someone drops the dreaded question:  


So… what do we play?


Cue the 20-minute debate where nobody can agree, someone suggests *League of Legends*, and half the group immediately threatens to leave. To save you from that pain, I’ve put together the **definitive list of the best multiplayer games in 2024**—whether you want to laugh, sweat, or scream at each other.  


 The GOATs (Still Dominating in 2024)  


1.Counter-Strike 2 (Free to Play, PC)  

Valve finally gave CS:GO the facelift it deserved (sort of). The smoke physics are cool, the guns feel crisp, and nothing beats the adrenaline rush of clutching a 1v5 while your friends scream in your ear.  


Why It’s Still King:

  • - Pure skill-based gameplay (no BS abilities)  
  • - The most satisfying headshot sound in gaming  
  • - Free, but beware: Skins will bankrupt you  


2. Fortnite (Free to Play, All Platforms)  

Yeah, yeah, I know. But hear me out—Fortnite in 2024 is wildly different from the cringe-dance era. The game has:  

  • - Zero-build mode (for people who hate building)  
  • - LEGO survival mode (weirdly addicting)  
  • - Racing, music festivals, and constant collabs  


Best For:

  • - Casual gamers who just want to mess around  
  • - Squads who enjoy chaos over competitiveness  


3. Call of Duty: Warzone (Free to Play, All Platforms)

Say what you will about Modern Warfare III, but Warzone still delivers that fast-paced, run-and-gun BR action. The new map changes keep things fresh, and the gunplay is as smooth as ever.  


Downside: You will get lasered by a 13-year-old with better reflexes than you.  


 The New Contenders (2024’s Best Fresh Picks)  


4. Helldivers 2 (PC, PS5)  

Imagine *Starship Troopers* meets *Left 4 Dead* with friendly fire turned up to 11. This chaotic co-op shooter has you fighting alien hordes while accidentally blowing up your teammates with misplaced airstrikes.  


Why It’s a Must-Play:

  • - Pure, unfiltered chaos  
  • - The best "OH SHI—" moments in gaming  
  • - Surprisingly deep progression  


5. The Finals (Free to Play, PC, Consoles)

This destructible FPS feels like Battlefield and Overwatch had a baby, then gave it a game show twist. Matches are fast, explosive, and full of "did that just happen?!" moments.  


Best For:  

  • - People who miss Battlefield’s destruction  
  • - Squads who love high-octane shooters  


6. Lethal Company (PC, Cheap as Chips)  

A horror-comedy co-op game where you and your friends scavenge haunted facilities while a monster picks you off one by one. The proximity chat makes it 10x funnier when someone screams as they get dragged into the darkness.  


Why It’s a Cult Hit:

  • - The funniest screams you’ll ever hear  
  • - Perfect for late-night Discord sessions  
  • - Cheap, easy to run, and endlessly replayable  


 Best for Casual Fun (When You Just Want to Chill)**  

7. Party Animals (PC, Xbox)

Imagine Gang Beasts but with way more polish. You and your friends play as derpy animals beating each other up in physics-based brawls.  

Best For:  

  • - Drunk gaming nights  
  • - People who don’t take games seriously  


8. Among Us (Still Alive, All Platforms)  

Yes, it’s still a thing. The devs keep adding new maps and roles, and nothing beats the paranoia of accusing your best friend of being the impostor.  


Pro Tip: Play with voice chat for maximum backstabbing.  


Best for Hardcore Squads (Sweaty but Worth It)  


9. Escape from Tarkov (PC, Pain Simulator)

If you enjoy pain, this is your game. A brutal, hyper-realistic shooter where losing your gear hurts. But the rush of extracting with rare loot? Unmatched.  


Warning: Not for the faint of heart.  


10. Valorant (Free to Play, PC)  

CS:GO meets Overwatch, with a heavy emphasis on teamwork. If you like tactical shooters but want flashy abilities, this is your jam.  

Downside: Toxic teammates (mute button recommended).  


 Best for Chaos & Memes  


11. Garry’s Mod (PC, Timeless Chaos)  

15 years later, and people are still making insane game modes in GMod. From Prop Hunt to Murder, it’s the ultimate sandbox for stupid fun.  


12. Human: Fall Flat (All Platforms, Physics-Based Hilarity)  

A puzzle game where you and your friends flop around like drunk ragdolls. The controls are intentionally terrible, which makes it 10x funnier.  


Final Verdict: What Should YOU Play?  


  • For Competitive Tryhards: CS2, Valo, Warzone  
  • For Chaotic Fun: Helldivers 2, Lethal Company, Party Animals  
  • For Old-School Vibes: Garry’s Mod, Among Us


What’s your squad’s go-to multiplayer game? Drop your favorites in the comments—maybe I’ll see you in-game (or maybe I’ll be the one headshotting you).  


Now go grab your friends and stop arguing over what to play.

GTA 6 Leaks: The Inside Story You Haven't Heard Yet Let me tell you about the day the gaming world stood still. It was September 18, 2022 - I remember because my Discord was blowing up like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Some kid had just dropped what might be the juiciest gaming leak of all time, and suddenly we were all digital detectives piecing together Rockstar's best-kept secret.   The Leak That Broke the Internet Picture this: It's 3 AM, you're scrolling through blurry clips of what looks like GTA... but something's off. The characters are glitching through walls, cars are floating mid-air, and the graphics look like they're from 2015. Then it hits you - this isn't some fan mod. This is the real deal. Rockstar's crown jewel, GTA 6, laid bare in its messy, unfinished glory.   The hacker (who turned out to be some British teen, because of course it was) didn't just leak a screenshot or two. Oh no. They dumped over 90 videos showing:   Two play...

God of War: Valhalla – The Definitive Review  Introduction: A Surprise Masterpiece That Redefines DLC Expectations When Sony announced God of War: Valhalla as a free DLC expansion to Ragnarök, expectations were tempered. Most assumed it would be a simple combat arena or short narrative vignette. What we received instead was nothing short of extraordinary - a full-fledged roguelike mode that not only refines God of War's already exceptional combat but delivers one of Kratos' most profound character arcs since the 2018 reboot. As someone who has played every God of War title since 2005, I approached Valhalla with cautious optimism. After completing multiple runs (and uncovering all its secrets), I can confidently say this is one of the most compelling pieces of DLC ever created - a masterclass in how to expand an existing game while introducing bold new mechanics. This 1500+ word review will break down exactly why Valhalla deserves your attention, even if you typically avoid r...
