Im tired of having to spend thousands of hours to stand a chance against others, im tired of video games turning into a second job. Im tired of playing against sweatlords who systematically abuse every single exploit they know of to ruin servers and destroy people’s fun. Im tired that every new game has to be an esport now. Im tired.

So yeah im fully done with mp games. However i still like games, and recently i realised i basically only enjoy singleplayer games. So yeah, Anyone got good/niche/unknown singleplayer game recommendations?

EDIT: im an idiot i didnt specify what sort of games i enjoy lol. Sadly ive already played disco elysium, i actually got 100% on it on steam, hah.

Recently I played Control, and i consider that title to be one of the best games ever made, so i really enjoy that kind of game but oddly the RE4 remake that resembles Control bored me so bad I turned it off 2 hours in. Basically I really enjoy shooters and games woth very strong narratives.

But my favorite game by far has to be RE:Village, that game blew my tiny mind, everything about it was amazing, the impeccable art direction, the gunplay, the enemies and the story, just chefs-kiss. But by far the greatest thing about that game was the winter mood, i played it in the dead of winter and love the season, it genuinely shaped my expectation of what video games should be like. I also had a lot of fun hunting treasures and prizes down.

    “BACK IN MY DAY THE ROCKET LAUNCHER AND QUAD DAMAGE WEREN’T TIME GATED AND IT WAS BETTER” over and over again.

    Yeah the quake management of weapons is the best one imo. You want a better gun? Alright bucko, go grab one over there.

      The first game I remember with “progression” was BF2, where htere was an alternate weapon for each class. I was totally befuddled as to why it was there and why you’d want to “unlock” them. I’ve already got the gun that is good for my class, what am I going to do with two guns? marx-guns-blazing Alas now every game has 8,000 nearly identical guns and miserable balance. : p skeleton-guns-akimbo lea-finger-guns marx-guns-blazing chavez-guns brace-cowboy
