I hate it when articles have links that look like they might take you to a relevant page about the linked text, like the game's steam page, but instead take you to another older article about the same thing on the same site.

Meanwhile, I loathe in-article links to the store page which are disguised as links to other, earlier coverage on the subject the article is discussing. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Best time I ever had playing WoW was the single player project. The bots are fairly convincing most of the time. Even though they may trash talk, you never need to worry about being full on harassed.
I wonder how it compares to Kenshi ... Probably less brutal. Otherwise it seems like similar game mechanics
a 3d thirdperson game with rimworld like emchanics would be fun, waiting on amazing cultivation im 2
Dragon Age: Inquisition feels rather like a single-player MMO.
This was something that I always dreamed of as a kid growing up playing WoW with shitty internet back in the day, will have to take a look at it
I wish I could play single player old school RuneScape on my SteamDeck so bad. Sitting mining rocks while I watch TV in bed would go so hard
Didn't Shroud of the Avatar do this first?
Oh wow thats a name i never expected to see again. I knew a guy who blew a ton of money on that game years ago.
No, the .hack series did. I believe the first game came out 23 years ago
kingdom of amular or something technically too, it was like an mmo that got turned into a single player game part of the way through development, could be another game from the ps3 im thinking of
And it was great!
Nah you're right. KoA was exactly that. More recently we have Wayfinder having a similar story.
I saw this the other day and added it to my wishlist...curious to see what it's like when it breaks early access.
Literally the only reason to play an MMO is because other people play it; without that it's just an RPG with a shitty interface.
it’s just an RPG
I've played a few singleplayer MMOs over the years, but none of them are like World of Warcraft. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning came closest, but that's probably because it was going to BE an MMO, originally. No tab-targeting like WoW though. No jumping either.
MMOs have a lot of game design quirks and gameplay loops that either don't exist in singleplayer RPGs or exist in a different way that doesn't scratch the same itch. But some of us hate the constant money begging MMOs do or the toxic playerbases and would like to avoid that. Or we just don't have the time to sink into a real MMO.
This is exactly what I meant when I said "shitty interface", I just couldn't find the right words. Can't stand those design quirks and gameplay loops. They remind me of spreadsheet simulators. The kind of people who like those mechanics remind me of the kind of people who buy scratcher tickets. I prefer games where I can get lost in the world and forget that I'm playing a game.
Thanks for expanding on what I was trying to express. I can understand how the addiction factor could make a lot of people enjoy these kind of games, but it's not for me. Cannabis and Kratom are my vices of choice.
I have 300+ hours in oldschool RuneScape ironman where I can't trade/pick up item from other players. It's fun.
Eh, ESO is a great RPG IMHO, terrible mmo though
Me when I can't see what's in front of me
Tldr: Game title is ~~Enshrouded~~ Erenshor. That article (as well as many others nowadays) don't even bother putting a link to the steam page. And the game name, yet again, not in the title, hence you have to read everything to know what it is about. Internet now is so crappy and click baity. The game looks fun though, so I'll go out of my way and actively search for ~~Enshrouded~~ Erenshor on steam myself like a peasant.
Edit: I managed to have the game name wrong, hence the importance to have ready to click links!
Tldr: Game title is Enshrouded.
You sure about that? FTA
The oxymoronic single-player MMO Erenshor, which has slowly been becoming a Steam superstar since 2023
You're right, I have bird memory and when I looked on steam the wrong one popped up, adding g to my confusion. Thanks for the heads up, I corrected my comment.
Seems like it might have been autocorrect, but thats kinda hilariously ironic.
Agreed, and ambarassing as well hahaha
But will they play like idiots and then offend my mom when I complain? Otherwise I'm not buying.
Maybe they'll call you trash and kick you from the group, lmao
Ill offend your mom right now.
I picked this up the other day and it’s great! The SimPlayers go on their own little adventures, party together, and fill the chat with nonsense. I had this one guy accuse another of being a bot.
It’s really worth trying if you’re into the traditional mmo gameplay (grinding). But without the fuss of dealing with real people and their own schedules that fight against your own. For anybody who wants to try it out, there’s a demo which covers the first area.
No one talks in real mmos anymore so this would be welcome
Unless you go on an ERP server
I don't think Runescape has those
Bro, let me Rimmington your Falador while you Edgeville, and then I'll Karamja my Wizard's Tower in your Waterfall Dungeon.
If my boyfriend talked to me like that, he'd already be pregnant.
Hell yeah, Slayer!
