Well, streams are different; you can't tell if you'll like a game just by watching them, especially if you're going to play with someone else, not alone.

Anything. I just typed rts/arpg/mmo into the Google search bar (although the latter is less relevant), and in 50% of the results on the first page, I either played or watched the game and had a positive impression.

Well, the titles don't really tell me much. I played Generals and a bit of the first StarCraft online for a while, but I don't think they've stood the test of time. And it's not just the specific games, but the genre itself. Playing against bots is uninteresting, and playing against each other requires roughly equal skill levels; otherwise, every game will end the same way, and after a couple of matches, it gets boring. And again, it's Hamachi, Rangers, and all that, unless you play the second StarCraft (which is now free, I think) or something else that's officially supported (but I don't know of any) and doesn't require spending money. I won't say anything about ARPGs – I only played D2, D3, Titan Quest, and half an hour of PoE online, but I'm not eager to try something similar because even playing in pairs was quite challenging the last few times. I'm interested to hear your opinion on MMOs and which ones are still relevant, especially for a group.

Non-competitive – that's ideal.

What do you mean?
