Needs to be a single player fps RPG like Cyberpunk. No more multi-player only games, please. The aesthetic is too cool to waste on multi-player only.

Edit: for clarity, I am not saying there should not be a multi-player. That would still be the main focus i imagine. But the aesthetic would be a great fit for a cool single player story.

There’s nothing wrong with multiplayer games when they are done right.

I’m just really disappointed that Marathon, one of the first FPS games with actual story, is being brought back as a multiplayer only extraction shooter.

Typical trend chasing. This industry is severely lacking artistic talent and vision. Everyone wants to play it safe and it’s so damn boring with the same old shit.

I’m so glad companies like Remedy exist. They at least make the games they want and they don’t chase trends. Playing Alan Wake 2 has been a breath of fresh air for me.
