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 
. 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.
RE:Village and Control are some of my favs, HL2 and Black Mesa too. i also enjoy Planet Coaster quite a bit, placing individual bushes by hand tickles my ocd nicely lol. Im interested in flying sims but I’m not sure i want to sink money into HOTAS sticks and pedals… I also used to love War Thunder, back in 2014 before they added tanks and started to go full steam into micro transactions and feature creep.
So yeah basically narrative games, prefferable fps likes, with emphasis on action.
Some mainstream games worth trying:
Oh god I actually tried playing the latest one, I think I lasted like, an hour. I was so shaken I actually had to go outside and smoke a few cigs to calm down
, idk why but horror games fucking destroy me even though i know its all fake.
same.. I can watch horror movies all day long and be bored to tears but drop me into Chicken Feet for 5 minutes which seems like a comically dumb horror game, and I start sweating and having mini-panic attacks until I terrorquit the game
I would rather walk across cinders than sit down and play any kind of horror game again, maybe i could tolerate playing with friends or something but alone? Nuh huh
