Diablo IV, for me. I love the Diablo series and just a bit ago, I sank 2 hours down to get my necromancer character up and set in Diablo II Resurrection. I have Diablo III and its expansion too, but they’re online only and I almost can’t be bothered to go through that. I’ve beaten it a long time ago.
And I really do want to get Diablo IV, but they’ve made that online-only as well. Like, I know I’m always online and everything but I do like to have that fallback where if I am without internet or I can’t afford internet for a time, I can play or watch things to bide the time over. I can’t do that with online-only games because it’s like being gated away from something you bought.
So everytime I look at Diablo IV, I just get a little depressed at times. Blizzard should do what D2R did, have an online character and have an offline character.


Anything on PS5. I bought one thinking I’d catch up on whatever I’d missed since the PS1 days. Heard that that mushroom zombie game was good. Never started it. I just sit at the desk and play another round of CS2 deathmatch.
Not quite the same dillema, but I have a similar issue. I have many singleplayer games I know I want to finish, but when I start my vegout state, it often defaults to a few known multiplayer games, even knowing I’ve had many sessions that leave me infuriated.
The Last of Us?
Yes! At this point I wonder how much of the show has spoiled my eventual run through the game.
The first season of the show is pretty close to the first game… You might want to just skip to part 2 if you have limited time to play. It’s the better game imo.
One of the best narrative gaming experiences I’ve ever had in my life, and I wish I could erase the memory and experience it again for the first time. Season 2 of the show is only the first half of the second game.
The Ghost of Tshushima/Yotei games are also great. And of course, Bloodborne.
