  It’s a Moderately Multiplayer (forced) Online game

    Are there no single player capabilities?

      I haven’t bought the game and probably never will, since I don’t like the Dune-iverse at all. I have friends who play it and it’s a 100% online game. I’m sure you could pretend to play solo but you’re still connected to a remote server.

    How would you have a multiplayer online game without forced online play? It’s a requirement of multiplayer (I guess barring LAN, but what is the likelihood of anything being “massive” multiplayer while on LAN) and online. That’s like 2/3 of the name

  Right ? Haven’t looked too much into it but it’s like V rising or rust ? You join a server with limited amount of players ?

    You can play V Rising completely solo.

    You can’t play Rust solo or on a private server unless you buy/rent one

      You can host your own server, locally ok PC in rust.
