I've had a lot of fun playing Grounded. Both with friends and solo. Someone needs to host the session but it is a shared save file that keeps up to date very well. So, any individual can play at any time or up to 4 can play online together.
Monster Hunter World and/or Rise.
Last games I had fun with co-op :
- Rocket League (free)
- Overwatch (free. Still my main game solo)
- Gloomhaven (boardgame adaptation. I'm a boardgamer so I may be biased but it's just a good turn by turn with cards for abilities. It's hard :))
Check out Phasmophobia.
It's a ghost investigation game that's easy to pick up, and has some really awesome scary moments. It's only about $14 and it's got an overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam.
Phasmophobia is especially great with a group of friends who are all going in blind. I have some great gaming memories thanks to the first handful of hours with this game.
That game honestly has one of the best communities I've ever seen in a game. I've rarely met people who were just asshats and even made a few friends playing.

Based on your played games you would probably all enjoy World of Warships. It’s F2P, possible to play and enjoy without spending money (though of course spending money does allow you to get more stuff), has deep gameplay and large learning curve but matches are all less then 20 minutes.
Foxhole seems really great when playing with multiple friends. If you're two, I loved playing Portal 2 in coop. I'm currently playing Hunt Showdown with my friends.
Spiritfarer is a very sweet cartoon game about death where you can play couch co-op with your other player being a kitty. HIGHLY recommend this game, but don't be surprised if it makes you bawl your eyes out.
Warframe is weird and generally best if you have a buddy that's already in the game. But it's really fun with something for everyone, and really great if you aren't all able to play at the same time frequently. The multiplayer is a similar structure to DRG, squads of 4 with 5-60 minute missions.
DayZ can be fun. Building up a base and trying to survive together. A bit of a learning curve but a very social game. Especially if you find a good private PVE server.
The Ascent is fun with friends. It's a cyberpunk diablo style thing.
For your base building survival fix, I highly recommend Raft or Subnautica Nitrox, the unofficial multiplayer mod
If you hate your friends or want to hate your friends, try Pico Park or Overcooked. Also the space game Heavenly Bodies, but it's only 2-player
Core Keeper has a Terraria / Zelda: Link to the Past vibe if you are looking for something like that.
Vermintide and Vermintide 2 are great games in my opinion that expand and innovate on the L4D2 formula, being similar but still very distinct.
If you enjoyed risk of rain 2 I would recommend the binding of Isaac which is another roguelike
Saving this post because it's right up my alley so now I have many new games to check out. Project Zomboid is still going strong for us, but here are some others that our group has enjoyed:
Heave Ho: super crude 2D graphics, but absolutely hilarious gameplay
The Ascent: beautiful cyberpunk-themed isometric shooter
Broforce: very entertaining pixel-art 2D platformer/shooter - we played this through to the end, which is rare for us
Overcooked: very entertaining 3D game, not sure what I would even call the genre - a "work" game?
Unrailed: similar to uncooked, but a different kind of "work"
SWAT 4: old 3D FPS, but still good
