  Same. Something I can play, save anywhere to deal with life, and pick back up when time allows. I was one of those weirdos who really enjoyed Doom 3 when it came out (with the ducttape mod; that was one mechanic I didn't like) and grew up on old Commodore, Amiga, and PC single-player games and NES/SNES/Genisis RPGs. I want that again.

  Have you played A Plague Tale (innocence, then requiem)? It’s one of the best story driven games I’ve ever played. It’s entirely linear, so plot urgency doesn’t feel artificial like it does in open world games.

    I liked the plot of this game, but I did not like it as a game. I have not played the second one.

    I played the first one but not the second yet. I did enjoyed the experience and the hairstyles stood out for the character designs with the ribbons.

  Me too but it’ll never happen. The age of good single player AAA games are long long gone.

    Wasn’t last years game of the year, Baldurs gate 3, a triple Aaa, single player, game that had an amazing story?

      Year before was Elden Ring. I’ve never played that one online.

      Hang on, that is a single player game? I now auto-discard AAA games up front because most of them are online multiplayer affairs with fancy in-game items to purchase and silly anti-cheat gimmicks that give Linux users a hard time.

      I might look into buying this one, then.

        Yep. You can play alone, couch co-op with controllers, or with friends online if that’s what you’re into. I’ve logged a couple of hundred hours alone and another hundred or so couch co-op.

        Indeed! You can choose to co-op with friends, but it isn’t necessary at all. It’s a really nice model for RPGs.

      Looks like there is debate on whether that studio is AAA. So you could be right.
