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.
~~I think I saw something about an Alan Wake remake if you want more of the world that Control exists in.~~
One of my favorite hidden gem game series from the last couple of years is Supraland. It's a first person metroidvania. You play a meeple in a kid's sandbox.
If you want to spend every waking minute learning how to optimize production of widgets, may e check out Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, or Satisfactory. I don't kbow what it is about factory games but they click with me. I'm playing Satisfactory right now and started to give up on it becausey first coal generator system was bottlenecking hard but these kinds of games stay with me after I'm done playing at my computer and I found myself running some numbers and decided my belts couldn't keep up with both coal miners so I split them and also split my coal generation into 2 sub-plants, jump started it back up and bam I had consistanr power that mh starter mall couls finalky finction with without blowing a fuse evey 2 seconds. It was really rewarding and only took me 10 hours to figure out lol. These games aren't for everyone but if you like figuring out engineering stuff, ratios, and optimizing systems id say check it out.
My other suggestion is Borderlands 3 because I love the series lol. I know it's cringe but the series has a place in my heart.
E: I guess Alan Wake 2 is the new one I was thinking of. I'm not super familiar with the franchise.
