>>712972Hate to say it but a lot of comfy multiplayer games are pretty old (minecraft, littlebigplanet, portal 2, etc...)
I'm thinking that warframe will be pretty fun for you guys. The grind doesn't feel too bad, especially if you're grinding for something with your friends/gf. It's f2p. Its also super comfy if you're on console. Not exactly new, but it's game-as-a-service, so it's consantly being updated.
Next, I'd say Ark: survival evolved. It was released in aug of 2017, should be fresh enogh for you.
Borderlands 3, once it comes out.
Probably any decent mmorpg (WoW, Elder scrolls online, etc...)
