I just want a nice story driven single player game from Valve again that isn't VR.
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.
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.
Me too but it'll never happen. The age of good single player AAA games are long long gone.
Year before was Elden Ring. I've never played that one online.
