What are friendslop games?

PDF download Download Article
  1. Friendslop games are indie titles focusing on being fun for a group of friends to play, rather than on deep single-player mechanics. They usually prioritize social aspects, low-stakes gameplay, and humor, and the games span a variety of genres—from exploration to horror and everything in between. While the term was originally derogatory, many now use it as a genre to describe any game that fits this definition.
