I prefer co-op but the times I can play don’t always line up with the times my friends can play.

My favorite games are things like Destiny, Minecraft, Helldivers, and Terraria, when I have friends to play with.

When playing alone, live service games can be ok, and competitive PvP is about the worst experience out there.

Single player games are often a much better experience than either of those.

We need more asynchronous game mechanics

What is an example of an async game mech?

[–] MarauderIIC@dormi.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

SimCity's cooperative structure building - anything where the group has to earn "points". PvP asynchronous mechanics are essentially anything where a player can be attacked while offline.

Thanks for the explanation. I've only played one game like that, but it is super fun; Neptune's Pride. It's free and web based, id highly recommend it.
