Yeah... those spiders are scary as fuck. My group tends to put a couple sessions into a run and then we don't play it again for a year or more.
Some games that have stuck w/ my group recently to add to the list
PlateUp! - Overcooked but less over the top silliness and have to deal w/ customers. Scratches a factory-building itch w/ the automation you can execute with some luck
Icarus / Satisfactory - both games have had so many updates over the last year, I'm itching to get back into another epic co-op builder / survival type game. I really want to get a Satisfactory dedicated server going at some point to just run long term and for my friends to tinker with, and Icarus just finally released an open-ended survival mode)
Element TD 2 - if not outright played, this is pretty consistently our nightcap before calling it. Almost every gaming night ends with 'well is it time for a towers run?' They're also doing some mazing beta stuff, which is pretty good (resisting the 'a-mazing' pun...)
We recently got into some of the other RTS options we've been oblivous to, one that's kinda stuck is Zero-K. I like it more than really the only viable recent option... Ashes of the Singularity. Zero-K may be my favorite RTS of this style (I'd put Company of Heroes over it, but different feel for an RTS) since Supreme Commander 1/2.
