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.
currently playing through control, I'm loving the atmosphere and the story so far but I'll be honest, getting tired of all the combat 😅 kinda wish there was more puzzle solving or more moments of downtime, considering some of the fights are just frustrating
but I'm a sucker for all things spooky government conspiracy so I'm still playing, albeit with modified difficulty so the combat goes by a bit quicker haha
no clue if its up your alley, but I'll always take a chance like this to plug Outer Wilds, some of the best written gaming I've ever had a chance to play honestly, albeit not quite as direct in its narrative focus as something like Control
One of the best games ever. It's a shame you can only truly play it once.
i wish Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was real but you can only erase the memory of playing Outer Wilds for the first time
Control has a damage reduction slider in options, just crank it all the way up. The combat is very tiring and I cranked it so I could enjoy the world rather than get frustrated at the same 5 combat encounters.
Yeah im saving outer wilds for a vacation so I can slowly play it and enjoy it over a few days. I hope I enjoy it as much as others seem to.
I admit I also used the cheats to skip annoying combat encounters sometimes lol, however I actually really like the combat, the gunplay feels really good (the charge modification is probably one of my favorite game’s gun)
