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.
God this is giving me flashbacks of the "from raw vs intermediate component" convo for DSP lol. This is part of what draws me to these games is that there is no wrong way to play them. I think my mall isn't in the best position but I did set it all up in a way that I think I can run trains by the storage containers. Not sure how that all works yet tho.
I haven't gotten to motors and such yet but yeah I def wanna avoid making those in house then?
Also biomass was anxiety inducing becuse the Internet says plants don't grow back. I think they do tho? I still felt stressed trying to rush coal and putting my starter factory in the absolute worse spot.
Oh it is true that there is no wrong way to play, of course. Doing things in the way I said is gonna mean you'll have to thing harder about logistics because you'll have more (smaller) factories. It's just what I found to be a much easier way to play so I didn't need to make 13 different recipes happen in each advanced factory, instead I could frontload making basic components in simple factories, and export them. Is it ideal? It's still up to you.
And the plants don't grow back, but it is basically impossible for you to run out of biomass unless you actively go out of your way to use biomass power for hundreds of hours. And don't worry too much about where you place your factory, everything you build in the first couple Space Elevator phases is gonna be much smaller than the factories you'll build later. Think of it like the starting planet in DSP, it basically doesn't matter what you did in it once you branch out.
It's funny because on my second playthrough of DSP I made my starter planet also my science and logistics hub with my rockets on the inner planet in that system. I basically stayed at home unless I needed to go set up like a spin farm and I would bring that home. Dang I need to set my mods back up and play that again lol.
I do have coal set up on Satisfactory though so I have 600mw to play with. I'm using half right now. So the stress isnt there and I can focus on starting to do research and such.
