Left4Dead2 can be played by 1-4 players. Empty player slots are filled by AI bots.
Pills here!

Can vouch for Deep Rock Galactic, Ember Knights, Ultimate Chicken Horse, and Factorio
Edit: Pulsar: Lost Colony is also good, but you'll need to have two bots as well
Factorio is a dangerous, but very fun, suggestion =)
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is fantastic.
Didn't realize it could do more than 2! That's wonderful!
Unsorted, quick and probably incomplete list of my personal favourites:
Dude, where Terraria, Magicka 2 and Stardew Valley at??
In your comment? ;)
I didn't realize Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime did more than 2! That's great!
Keep in mind, that whenever the Yamato Cannon is fired, all players simultaneously have to shout "YAMATOOO" :D
Astroneer, Raft, and if you like mindless indie stuff Generation Zero.
Remnant 1 & 2 if you like souls type third person shooters.
Dungeon of the Endless and the new version Endless Dungeon.
Ever heard of the Trine series? 5 games by now (can only speak about the first 4 though), and they are really fun together. Basically 2d puzzle games with 3 different characters that all have their own abilities, which leads to many different ways to solve puzzles. Highly recommended.
I also highly recommend the trine series.
I haven't seen it mentioned, but Minecraft is also multiplayer.
For the king. Made for 3 people
Unreal Tournament 2004, with few players it turns its normal frantic and fast paced gameplay into a suspensfull slower experience which is awesome.
I think you can get it on the internet archive as it stopped being sold on gog and steam this spring.
OpenRA - Do you remember the old classic series Command & Conquer ?
OpenRA takes the old original game, updates the controls to modern RTS controls, add new ai to play against, add support for modern resolutions and adds a good internet multiplayer system, all of this for free!
OpenRA can be downloaded att https://openra.net
Nobody mentioned the finals. Free to play fps competitive shooter with teams of 3. It's been crazy addictive for my friends and I. If you like fast paced hectic fps games it's loads of fun.
Remnant 1 and 2 are both 3 players
Trine 2! It’s a side-scrolling action/puzzle platformer, and a rare game actually made for 3.
I'm in a poly throuple and we play these games:
-League of Legends
-Super Mecha Champions (It's like Apex but with bots and the real players aren't as good so we don't get absolutely crushed every time we play which is nice)
-Stardew Valley
-Eternal Return (League + Battle Royale)
-Divinity 2
-Overcooked
-Borderlands
-FF14
-Tabletop Simulator (Board Games)
does that mean a relationship between three people? that's interesting. mind me asking if that was something everyone already knew they were open to? or was it kind of like, two were together then they decided they were open to a third?
Yeah! For us it was me (male) and my girlfriend who have been together 5ish years at the time and we met a girl who we really meshed with and became good friends with. Our friends joked around that we should just all date each other since we hung out so much. One day we got drunk and admitted we'd be open to it so we asked each other out and have been a throuple since!
Most of our friend group is very accepting. Our families, however, are not lol.
cool! good on you. i love hearing about how different everyone's forms of happiness can be, sorry your families don't seem to. hopefully they'll warm up to it eventually
Sea of Thieves
Deep Rock Galactic!
Elden Ring with the seamless COOP mod has been very fun for my two friends and me. The experience isn’t 100% perfect (some bugs) but exploring the Lands Between with buddies and fighting the bosses together has easily been in my top 3 COOP experiences up until now.
If you have VR headsets, Walkabout Mini-Golf is surprisingly fun. In fact, I'd argue that it only becomes fun with 3 people.
Online or offline multi-player?
As for couch coop Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends is some of the most fun I ever had with friends gaming.
Both actually! Two different groups of 3. Offline bunch has ended up doing baba is you for the last year or so (not coop, but puzzles are pretty easy to backseat game).
Civilisation V
or VI.. I played VI as a multiplayer for quite an amount of time and I think it works splendidly if you have patient enough friends/co-players.
I really wanted to like VI but it's just doesn't do it for me.
... Just one more turn.
Nine Parchments and Magicka 2.
Edit: also, the Trine games. And on PlayStation we enjoyed Diablo III and Alienation, both of those are three player as well.
If you're into RPGs, both Solasta: Crown of the Magister and Balgur's Gate 3 are great coop experiences.

PlateUp! has completely consumed a couple of lan parties. Awesome Roguelite restaurant game.
Some beat them up: tmnt, streets of rage 4
Also since you did not mention playing remotely or not (although there are ways around that: parsec, steam remote play together...) almost any couch coop game: overcooked, moving out, unrailed...
Edit: all of those I cited have a online multiplayer mode I think, for overcooked the AYCE edition contains all of the first edition content but brings online MP amongst other things
I play with 2 of my brother in laws. These are my favorites:
Elden Ring
Dark Souls 3
Borderlands 3
Ghost of Tsushima
Rocket League
Avengers
Remnant
OP What games did you guys end up playing or selecting? Also what platform are you playing on?

Honestly playing a lot of The Finals recently
1-3 players, team based, capture the flag like, free to play, your team vs 2-3 other teams, fast paced
Yes just played with my friends and gotta say it is fun. Even though I dont enjoy fps much anymore, the parkour, destructible environment and varied abilities make it feel fresh (invis + sword stabby hehe).
Towerfall
Boomerang Fu
Hammerwatch
Splitgate
Quake Live / Champions
