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.

    My love for control got me playing the rest of remedy games. Definitely recommend all of them. Alan wake 1 can be a bit if a drag to play but set it to easy and enjoy the narrative imo best thing to do.

    RE Village got me into playing all the other RE games, silent hill, signalis, soma, penumbra, amnesia

      Same here, and even after playing through the RE franchise i still consider village to be the crown jewel of the series, its such an immaculate game, it combines the very fun action movie sequences you expect from RE with a very touching story of a dad going ballistic to save his daughter, i admit i teared up once i got through that damn boss and got the final cutscene. And then I played RE4 remake immediately after and the , uh, very 2000s writing and got bored 2 hours in and uninstalled michael-laugh
