Even though I do also play it with friends, I feel like they are great for feeling included even when playing alone. Since teams are split into 4 or 5 player squads, if you get a squad that sticks together it is a wonderful experience, having strangers watching your back and charging into action with them. You work a lot outside of your squad too, as thereās 4 distinct classes which all provide something important to the team
These days theyāre super cheap on sale too! The last couple werenāt as good as the ones before, but if you havenāt played a game before you might still enjoy them. Though my favourite is Battlefield 1, which still has active servers despite being 8+ years old.

If you can withstand the occasional slur thrown your way by a teammate when your molotov just misses its mark by a couple feet, this is an incredibly rewarding strategic shooter that is super fun at the casual level - just donāt take it too seriously.
Itās an iconic game for a reason and worth checking out for its historical/cultural significance alone. It has retained its idiosyncratic features from an earlier age of computer gaming that makes it feel like a fresh change of pace from the slew of twitchy, bombastic, movement based games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, etc. For example, you have to stop moving to shoot accurately, thereās no sprint, slide, or dive, you have to put your gun away in order to throw a grenade. Itās slower, more intentional- and as such, itās really able to dig into your mind.
I would recommend finding a friend who has played this game for years to help show you the ropes - thereās a high learning curve to start with, but overcoming each obstacle feels really substantive, like learning a new language.

I am 16 again.
Campaign: very fun, John Wick/James Bond specialist kinda vibe so far.
Multiplayer: not that sweaty actually. Really really good map layouts, way more fun than I expected.
Zombies: bit overwhelming, but itās fun because everyone in the lobby is just as confused as you are.

I love the night vibes but itās also lovely to finally see a bit of light at that time, after about 4 months of pitch black darkness. Makes the commute back home happier and less tiring.
