I hate it when articles have links that look like they might take you to a relevant page about the linked text, like the game's steam page, but instead take you to another older article about the same thing on the same site.

Meanwhile, I loathe in-article links to the store page which are disguised as links to other, earlier coverage on the subject the article is discussing. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
I wish I could play single player old school RuneScape on my SteamDeck so bad. Sitting mining rocks while I watch TV in bed would go so hard
One review I just read on steam said "great if you have dad game hours"
OMG, fuckin sold! LMAO
Right?
I am a dad to one year old twins and I feel this comment in my bones.
God help you and your family.
I picked this up the other day and it’s great! The SimPlayers go on their own little adventures, party together, and fill the chat with nonsense. I had this one guy accuse another of being a bot.
It’s really worth trying if you’re into the traditional mmo gameplay (grinding). But without the fuss of dealing with real people and their own schedules that fight against your own. For anybody who wants to try it out, there’s a demo which covers the first area.
No one talks in real mmos anymore so this would be welcome
Unless you go on an ERP server
I don't think Runescape has those
Bro, let me Rimmington your Falador while you Edgeville, and then I'll Karamja my Wizard's Tower in your Waterfall Dungeon.
If my boyfriend talked to me like that, he'd already be pregnant.
Hell yeah, Slayer!
Didn't Shroud of the Avatar do this first?
No, the .hack series did. I believe the first game came out 23 years ago
kingdom of amular or something technically too, it was like an mmo that got turned into a single player game part of the way through development, could be another game from the ps3 im thinking of
And it was great!
Nah you're right. KoA was exactly that. More recently we have Wayfinder having a similar story.
Tldr: Game title is ~~Enshrouded~~ Erenshor. That article (as well as many others nowadays) don't even bother putting a link to the steam page. And the game name, yet again, not in the title, hence you have to read everything to know what it is about. Internet now is so crappy and click baity. The game looks fun though, so I'll go out of my way and actively search for ~~Enshrouded~~ Erenshor on steam myself like a peasant.
Edit: I managed to have the game name wrong, hence the importance to have ready to click links!
Tldr: Game title is Enshrouded.
You sure about that? FTA
The oxymoronic single-player MMO Erenshor, which has slowly been becoming a Steam superstar since 2023
Seems like it might have been autocorrect, but thats kinda hilariously ironic.

You're right, I have bird memory and when I looked on steam the wrong one popped up, adding g to my confusion. Thanks for the heads up, I corrected my comment.
Massively single-player. I like it.
Is it just me or is it impossible to just find a link to the steam page on any gamesradar article ever.
Here you go, suh!
Game is Erenshor.
Thank you. Should be a damn rule you have to link the game in the post

Dragon Age: Inquisition feels rather like a single-player MMO.
This was something that I always dreamed of as a kid growing up playing WoW with shitty internet back in the day, will have to take a look at it
When did .Hack//Sign come out, again? 🤔
.Hack//Infection did a great job simulating an MMO for its time
It's so fucking weird that this game/anime is all I've been thinking about for the last week and now to see it mentioned in the wild, unprompted.
Guys, quit mind reading/algorithming me. This and the ghibli shit. No one should have to vibe this much with the internet.

But will they play like idiots and then offend my mom when I complain? Otherwise I'm not buying.

Best time I ever had playing WoW was the single player project. The bots are fairly convincing most of the time. Even though they may trash talk, you never need to worry about being full on harassed.
@cm0002 This puts me in the mind of the old .hack// series of single-player JRPGs, but from a Western perspective.
If they take some creative liberties with it to give it its own distinct feel and narrative, as the .hack// games did in their day, it could be a pretty charming game once it's out of Early Access.
Goat simulator had an mmo simulator.
There was also an achievement for licking a friend, if you played at the same time as one of your friends, they may pop up as one of the ingame NPCs.
