What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?

So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren't co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.

My wife, my brother, and I like to play Hunt: Showdown.

I had to scroll way too long until I actually encountered Hunt! Teams or three or less, and a fantastic auditory shooter. Too bad it is so hard!

Stellaris allows many players if you like those types of games. Only the host needs dlc if you want to pool your cash and buy some. But yeah it can be expensive.

Since you mention Paradox titles, I'd add Crusader Kings III, Europa Universalis IV, and/or Hearts of Iron 4. Same rules apply for those games' DLC, as well.

Lego Fortnite (Minecraft) is super good and their Guitar Hero clone is also pretty decent for groups

Outriders and Remnant 2. Both solid games and 3p coop.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a 3 man team fighting game.

I've never tried the game, but I saw a family play Farming Simulator together on a long flight.

My friends and I recently discovered Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and the 3 person coop is a lot of fun.

Takes a bit of getting used to, but Earth Defense Force 4.1 or 5.
