I love online games that allow for this. - the "It's a open world that you play solo".

Fallout 76 and New World come to mind. You do your own thing in this giant shared world. You literally can walk over to help another human, then wave goodbye. If they try to start pvp with you, you can throw a lol emoji and walk away and fade off into the distance.

It’s basically like playing in a game world filled with super advanced NPCs. The other players are just there to make the world feel alive.

It's how I play Minecraft. I play on the servers solo.

Sometimes just seeing others chat with each other makes me feel way less lonely.
