Hi

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this. Basically I'm looking for recommendations for a game I can play against my 2 brothers. We live in different cities and hardly get to see each other but are we all into games.

We are all in our late 40s and haven't gamed against each other since way back when I had a few networked PCs in a squat where we played unreal tournament. I am well out of the gaming loop, i just finished bioshock a couple of months back, now I'm playing doom & death loop. I'm crap at both!

We were thinking we'd like to play a shooter just against each other, kinda like unreal tournament, or something we can do cooperatively. We are definitely not ready to go up against the kids online. Maybe doesn't have to be a shooter if it's fun to play together. Most of us have kids and none of us has loads of screen time.

One brother is on an Xbox One is on a PC One is on a steam deck with WiFi hotspot.

I'm grateful for any suggestions

Wait til SE5 goes on sale if you do decide to get it, I'm wagering they'll discount it somewhere around the release of SE6 in January. Probably for Christmas.

If y'all wanna get good at it and learn some advanced tactics, watch videos by MB93 or Duckwit. Invasion is about a lot more than just being the better shot, there are some excellent mind-games, misdirection, and traps you can use on both sides.
