Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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?

Perhaps RPG's with a party, like Mass Effect, Baldurs Gate 3, Fallout New Vegas (many companions with their own stories to find and tag along), Star Wars: knights of the old republic, dragon age.

Some shooters like the later Band of Brothers games, valkyria chronicles or the Mafia series you may enjoy as well.

In Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis, there are multiple paths to choose to complete the game, and one option is to choose a fun companion come with you to help you throughout.

Perhaps RPG’s with a party

Going more old school, Chrono Trigger is another great one with awesome supporting party characters.

Final Fantasy VI!

You'll definitely experience anxiety though.

Or maybe deep dread.

Since OP likes open world games, in the later Bethesda RPGs like Skyrim and Fallout 4 you can have companions. not the same level of interaction as Bioware-like parties, but it’s something.

also not really an open world game, but in Midnight Suns you’re a mystical hero in a party with some of the avengers, other marvel heroes, and even some villains. there’s a lot of personal interactions with all the members between missions.
