I have been gaming since the snes days, on consoles and pc. I loved competitive play at the time.
However, nowadays I play pretty much exclusively single player games. I have a very time consuming and at moments stressful job. I have a two year old daughter. I play games to relax. I simply don't have the time to invest to get good enough at any online game. I'm 30+ years old and I don't find it rewarding at all to be defeated time after time by some 15yo who has all the time in the world to "git gud", while being called a noob and worse.
That's simply not what I'm looking for in a game anymore. Give me a beautiful crafted single player game that I can finish in my own time. The Last of Us, The Witcher, God Of War, Uncharted,... That's my thing. Even the souls games: finished them all, in my own time.
I am financially comfortable enough to own all three consoles (ps5, series X and switch) and will basically use the PS5 as a first party single player exclusive machine, the series X as a gamepass single player machine and my switch as a Nintendo single player machine.
I do however feel like I'm a dying breed. Is that so? Or am I wrong? Are there any other people who feel the same as I do?
Ah, and I can't stand meaningless open world time sinks either. Just as bad for for me, even if they are single player games.
