Are Classic Single Player/Co-Op Games Dying?

It’s becoming increasingly frustrating for fans of both single player and co-op games. The increasing popularity in multiplayer games and live service has led to less single player and narrative based games. And gone are the days of playing through Halo and Gears of War campaigns with your buddies. Nowadays, every game must be connected to online and games that give off classic couch co-op vibes are plagued with live service elements. I want more games like the Last of Us and Uncharted because it’s nice to just kick back and relax while playing through a story mode. It also shouldn’t be that difficult to make fun online co-op games.

I'm not the biggest gamer, the 2010s was my peak in gaming, but very interesting thoughts, well said, well done. 👍

I have to say, as a casual gamer who still loves a lot of this stuff, I think there is a lot of potential in slightly smaller games with slightly cut in price. Play Station & Steam do a lot of this right, not a big expansive 8K graphic 120 fps or whatever, just cut a bit & cut likewise the price. And remaking older or retro games like N64 to Wii can be a gold mine with polished graphics like the Switch. Edit: Not saying there should never be a Spider-Man (PS4, PS5) level game cause those are great or even amazing, but I don't have infinite time & I'd like some slightly simpler games Just my thoughts.
