No need for interaction and cooperation if you can solo everything. Some games work without that but shooters really dont.
one of the biggest reason i love great co-op games (eg helldivers) is because they also make for some of the most intense solo experiences. very few singleplayer games can accurately replicate the triumph of solo’ing something designed for 4 players.
Though co-op games usually adjust difficulty based on the number of players (usually by scaling the number of enemies)
I think they mean those intense moments when you are the sole survivor and no revives left on the team. There are few better feelings than succeeding in those scenarios.
