Is this game fun/worth it solo?
Most of my IRL friends don't play video games any more so i'm a lone wolf gamer nowadays

Not really, tho you can play with rando through match making anyway.
Just beware that the game is still suffered from launch issue, so your mileage may vary.

On lower difficulties yes. You could probably solo higher difficulties but it probably isn't worth the headache.

It can be played solo until extreme difficulty. The highest I did solo was hard difficulty and can barely clear it sometimes losing. You can match with randoms no problem as well if you really want to tackle high difficulty mission. My friends irl also does not play games much anymore so I rely on random matchmaking.

Give Discord a try? Easy to find a group 24/7.
Also randoms are not -THAT- bad. Most of the times. (I assume this will get better with time)

That beeing said, I think I spotted first videos of ppl doing solo-runs on high difficulties.

In general no. But you can matchmake, when it works.

Can you solo? Yes
Should you solo? No

Later difficulties can ramp up INSANELY fast. And the missions are RNG and sometimes, your numbers just don't come out how you'd like.

This game will be worth playing solo in 3 weeks when matchmaking and performance is not absolutely broken lol

Wannabe chads will tell you its great. Truth its its doable, but a lot tougher than 2+ players, because you can much easier mitigate pressure by enemies with more players.

maybe some people can solo like 25% of it but for me at level 10 solo it felt like trying to kill 50 dark soul elites mobs at the same time, co-op actually is pretty fun if you try it..

been playing with randos and having a blast.
Just play with random players, people have gotten quite good at the game and it's enjoyable to play even without a micro, everybody mostly knows what to do.

I play with randoms all the time. I was able to get to the hardest difficulty.

No fun solo. You will struggle and actually lose fun quickly. Rather play with a random team.

Been playing Solo most of the time. Awesome fun with friends, And I have to admit I love it solo too. About 30 of my 35 hours were clocked solo, and playing on 3-4 difficulties, slowly building up my arsenal and just enjoying the mayhem of shooting the Cyborgs and Bugs. Did the same with the previous game, so might be a bit biased. But I'd say it is very much enjoyable, and you can push the difficulty until you feel comfortable.

ive been a solo gamer for a long time, several decades since my last actual friend stopped playing games online, and ill usually come out onside of defending the random group finder communities from the left for dead's to darktide ive happily qued into random groups across any difficulty and had a great time.

the random groups tend to be like a very big premade, they develop a shorthand a pattern just as specific as a small group.

But Hell divers is the one game i think is so specifically built around co operation and communication that tog et teh most fun it certainly needs voice coms and preferably between friends , im not saying the randoms wont be able to play i just think they will be missing out on the core fun of the game.
