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.

      It's on Steam. If you want to get started, I'd recommend going in blind and playing until you lose (might take less than 3 hours of play time, maybe 8 hours if you're particularly lucky/make good choices). Then, join the game's discord server and read through the foundation guide and start over. I'll warn you, though, if you don't like games like Cities Skylines you might find the non-combat parts of the game pretty boring (you can fast forward at 10x speed though, and pause whenever something bad happens).
