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

Lol we actually played worms Armageddon against each other before. If it still has stuff like exploding sheep etc it be a good game to play with their kids

There's loads of Worms games now though they're all the same sort of thing. I think they just announced an "anniversary edition" of Armageddon, which looks basically the same as the Steam version but ported to modern consoles. Still a banger 25 years on!
