The short answer

Four-player co-op against overwhelming numbers, with a mission structure you drop into and extract from.
Pick Helldivers 2 if you want the chaos.
Orbital strikes, friendly fire that is always on, and a live war that the whole playerbase moves together. It is very funny and very tense.
Pick Deep Rock Galactic if you want the teamwork.
Driller, Engineer, Gunner and Scout each solve problems the others cannot, the caves are fully destructible, and it has the best community in the genre. Also much cheaper.
