Đorđe Ivanović is a writer for DualShockers with a background as both a gaming writer and editor. He was previously a journalist and editor at Gamer Journalist and GameSkinny, and has also contributed to FantasyWarden and TheGamer, covering video games while occasionally wandering into board game territory.
Đorđe has been writing professionally since 2019 and covering games since 2022. His gaming journey spans decades, with much of his childhood devoted to Warcraft III and its many custom mini-games. Beyond RTS classics, he also has a soft spot for WWII shooters, mystery and puzzle games, indie roguelites, and RPGs that do not demand too much grinding.
Friendslop has become a useful catch-all term for multiplayer games that are easy to pick up, fun to mess around in, and capable of turning mistakes into the best part of gameplay. I love them because the formula usually involves simple objectives, chaotic teamwork, physics-driven nonsense, or in-game systems that become much funnier when several of you try to manage them at once.
Many think these games have to be some kind of brawlers where you need to fight others and humiliate them. But, as the list below will show, that is not true, and this newly popular genre actually spans a creative variety of games.
When someone asks you to get lost together, it usually means going into some wilderness on a hike, where modern worries and tech won't reach you. Well, this game is for players who enjoy that kind of vibe but not the real wilderness. As the name says, you and your friends go out on a long walk in the woods where you discover new things, get lost, get back together, get lost again, and solve tasks while using a realistic proximity voice chat.
Big Walk is already making waves as a perfect friendslop because it's built around social interaction, and your communication and cooperation will be key in overcoming obstacles. However, goofy characters and many in-game circumstances make this experience harder and funnier for everyone. That's why I'd say the goal of this game isn't really puzzle-solving but spending time together and seeing how you act under different problems.
Dear Passengers is one of the most wishlisted friendslop games that puts you and your friends in the shoes of a cabin crew servicing customers during a flight. Sounds okay until I tell you that the airline you're working for is one of the worst there is, and you and your friends will be putting out fires (metaphorical and literal) all the time.
You'll work on almost everything, from handling passengers and luggage to even flying the airplane. And to make things worse, you'll need to work together to work on ludicrous issues that will sometimes seem unsolvable. The game's announcement went so viral that it reached me on LinkedIn (?!), so I definitely see it as a fun upcoming experience.
