How good is this game for offline single player?

[Mikoto]

Looking to buy this game and don't have many friends who play it, is there a solid offline single player experience?

[Vash(88)]

Single player is decent.

Why not join public games and make some friends?

[Chibbity]

Can you play single player offline? Yes.

Do people play single player and enjoy themselves? Yes.

Is the game primarily co-op focused, at it's best when played with a team, and does most of the development go towards the co-op aspect? Yes.

Solo is actually pretty fun.
You wouldn't EXPECT it to be fun, right?
..But it's pretty damned fun!

Make sure to spend points upgrading your flying buddy.

Most of my ~800h of playtime is solo. Can recommend.

[gungadin22000]

Single player is meh. Spent like 2 hours there.

Spent 300+ hours with random people in pick-up games online. It's great and nearly everybody you meet are decent. I can think of only 2 bad experiences in 300 hours, and one of those was due to me disliking the host on a personal basis despite him being a good teamplayer.

I can understand your desire to play solo alone, perhaps you are an introvert gamer like me. However for this game it is really recommended to do Co-op. Most of the time i don't even talk to the other guys, as most know their role pretty well. So give Co-Op a try, pretend it's Solo with some bots ;)

this is a coop game first, so no

single player is an option, but not a good one. you'll have a much better time in coop
trust me, %90 of my playtime has been with randoms, its worked out ok except for a couple of fringe cases

the game is not balanced around solo play, so you'll find theres a lot of annoyances or design inconsistencies if all you do is solo. i cant recommend it if you plan on playing solo only

[Mando]

Agree, I have enjoyed this game solo, with random people and friends.

[Twinkletoes]

Pretty well balanced around solo play.

You can definitely play and enjoy the game solo.

[Steelfist]

I almost exclusively play DRG for multiplayer with randoms. It's great. I've tried solo, and I hate it. I would never recommend it to anyone who wants to solo only.

[moerty]

solo is fun, you really get a feeling of isolation and the sense that screwing up can happen very easily with no going back.

[Morgue]

I only play solo (because of my bad internet) and its still really fun

[HerrDave]

Now and then I'll kill a few hours by playing this Solo with an audiobook, podcast, or game dungeon going on in the background.

It's a good "relax & play" kind of game, with just enough shooting/action to keep you alert, but not in a tense/frustrating way.

Have fun :)

100 hours all mostly being solo, good game, both coop and singleplayer wise. maybe only 5-10% of the games I' had with randoms, had a few bad experiences so decided to solo most of the game because of it, promoted two dwarfs and going for the third as writing this

[FDru]

I don't play much solo and I don't prefer it, but when having connection issues (my isp sucks and I live in a literal desert) I can play solo and get my weekly assignments done or whatever. And it's fine, still fun enough. You have a lot of control over the difficulty and what type of mission you want to run. And BOSCO is awesome.
