Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.

I just want a nice story driven single player game from Valve again that isn't VR.
Have you played A Plague Tale (innocence, then requiem)? It's one of the best story driven games I've ever played. It's entirely linear, so plot urgency doesn't feel artificial like it does in open world games.
I liked the plot of this game, but I did not like it as a game. I have not played the second one.
Same. Something I can play, save anywhere to deal with life, and pick back up when time allows. I was one of those weirdos who really enjoyed Doom 3 when it came out (with the ducttape mod; that was one mechanic I didn't like) and grew up on old Commodore, Amiga, and PC single-player games and NES/SNES/Genisis RPGs. I want that again.
Me too but it'll never happen. The age of good single player AAA games are long long gone.
Year before was Elden Ring. I've never played that one online.
Hang on, that is a single player game? I now auto-discard AAA games up front because most of them are online multiplayer affairs with fancy in-game items to purchase and silly anti-cheat gimmicks that give Linux users a hard time.
I might look into buying this one, then.
Yep. You can play alone, couch co-op with controllers, or with friends online if that's what you're into. I've logged a couple of hundred hours alone and another hundred or so couch co-op.
I want to play it in couch co-op but I kept hearing that you miss out on content by playing it that way. For a first playthrough, is that true?
You're going to miss content no matter how you play. It's the nature of the game. Some decisions lock you out of options.
I can't think of anything you'd inherently miss from couch co-op.
No. My girlfriend and I are 140 hours in and still not finished, and I'm amazed at how smooth the coop works with the story. You can each be different places doing different things, or you can travel together, you can each have your own relationships with npcs. A lot of conversations with npcs will repeat depending on who's talking, but important story ones won't. As long as you mostly stick together and make choices together, you'll have every option a single player game does.
I played through the whole game with my gf and didn’t see nor read anything that would indicate that.
Regardless of if you play, solo or with up to 4 people there are 4 characters in your party. Your main character can be one of the predefined ones or not. You will probably have/want a mix of both.
First play through will take more than 100h and you will still have plenty to see for subsequent playtroughs. It’s literally impossible to see all of it first time regardless of how you play.
Just get it, it’s not just a GOTY, it’s one of the best games in a long while.
