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.
I love coop games and so many games seem like they're perfectly suited for it, but don't support it. A prime example is the city builder genre. There's a multiplayer mod for Cities: Skylines but it isn't perfect. On a bright note, the multiplayer mod for Rimworld is virtually flawless.
