    I’ve never likes the multi-player aspects of soulslikes. I tried ER as intended for a bit, but I swapped to offline a few hours in. The messages can be helpful, and are often funny, but I just find it messy and busy, and like the more quiet experience without.

      I like the online part just fine, but it feels like a completely different game. When I play offline, it’s like I’m in the world of the Lands Between. I’m myself on an epic quest, even though I have a meme name and a meme face. When playing online it’s like I’m playing a video game where my character does things.

      I usually prefer to play offline, even though I like the online parts.

      And I love playing seamless coop with a friend, it’s like going on an epic quest together.

      That’s perfectly fine. The online component is entirely opional after all and if you’re not into co-op play or invasions, you’re fine just playing offline in favour of not seeing messages
