Same! I don't play multiplayer generally either. I only played the dark souls series with my wife in co-op lol but other than that I buy games for the single player. And most that are focused on the multiplayer I won't bother with. I played some multiplayer around 4 but the toxicity and stuff online in those games was enough to put me off online multiplayer for life, at least on a competitive level.
My only exception is a meme that said "fighting games are fun, but only when youre playing someone sligtly worse than you." I give a bit more wavelength to how much of a skill differential in each direction remains fun, but if youre playing someone too much better its no fun at all. And that is often the case. I loved Smash until college where other people there who played Smash were too much better than me to remain fun lol.

Oh and Mario Kart and Mario Party. Those are fun.
