Hades is currently on sale. I hear lots of rumblings about how great it is. I quite enjoy roguelites, I play dead cells a good bit on my phone and spelunky on the switch a lot. I don't particularly care for Diablo 3. I'm a huge fan of mythology of all flavors, so the theme of Hades is VERY appealing. I'm torn!

The older I get the less I appriciate senseless violence. I developed a weird level of empathy where I consider every monster and human NPC a living being with the right to live, and see conflicts without black and white sides: is what we call a monster really deserves killing, or is it just another animal hunting to stay alive?
Yes, you guessed it, I love the Witcher series. I also loved NieR Automata and Death Stranding, the Divinity Original Sin series and I am eyeing Baldur's Gate 3 if I can run it. All of these games have a deep combat system (maybe the witcher less so) which I profiundly appriciate and love, yet all of these games treat violence as something you do because you must, and want to avoid if you can, because they show the value of life through violence.
I am looking for more games like this. I do love all sort of hack n slashes, TPS or FPS games (maybe the latter less so) as long as it keeps violence reasonable. I'm the guy who felt terribe for shooting police officers in GTA4 when Nico was trapped in the half done building, and frustrated myself endlessly to escape without killing them. I couldn't stonach Trevor in GTA5, but slaughtering undead in Darktide is totally okay (but regardless I have no interest because it's a loop game) killing thousands in Total War Warhammer 3 is okay because I play as empires under attack by chaos, that the enemy of all life.
So I have massive amounts of social anxiety. Took me three days of hesitation to decide not to try destiny multiplayer. I can and do play fortnite; PvP like that is fine because I can't fuck up anyone else's game.
Basically I'd like to transition from solo PvP to eventually trying co-op and even Voice Chat; so I'm looking for something in the middle there.
I've heard Path of Exile, Fallout 76, and Genshin are good for solo play. Not sure how true that is.
The only game I have to outright vito is FFXIV.
So, thoughts? Any suggestions?
