I need some suggestions on what to play. Single Player games only. Most of the games make me feel lonely and alone. In most of the games, the protagonist has to deal with the problems on their own, like Control, Crysis, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War (I liked the original 6 more than the new ones, even though the new ones had companions), horror games like Outlast, Echo and Alan Wake, and many others.

I want something that won't give me anxiety. I really enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy, having those teammates by my side always made me feel "safe". I also liked Spider-Man and Deadpool because the humour makes me feel comfortable. In old Harry Potter games, Ron, Hermione and Harry were usually together, so, I never felt alone while playing those either. In Indika, that one hand man was with me for most of the game.

Open world games also give me less anxiety, like most Assassin's Creed games, Ghost of Tsushima, Just Cause series, etc.

I think you all get my point. So, what do you suggest I should play?

So I'm not sure what might make you not feel lonely or anxious. Things like how directly you control the characters with you could he factors I imagine, so I'm just going to list a bunch of things:

A shorter one, but Star Wars Republic Commando. You're a commando unit and work as one.

Dragon's Dogma, either Dark Arisen or the new sequel.

Mass Effect series.

I don't know if Earth Defence Force would be like that or not, at the end of the day your NPC allies could be hit or miss (literally, depending on the weapons you use).

Not sure how you feel about party-based RPGs, but there are tons of them.

I'm wondering if RTS games with campaigns would feel right as well. StarCraft's campaigns have a lot of people constantly talk to/around you.

The Lego games?

Stardew Valley?

Can't really think of indie games at the moment.

Games I haven't played so I don't know if they apply: Persona? Space Marine games?
