Looking for single player games that have a story/plot, but isn’t completely story driven and is more gameplay focused (probably poorly described, so I’ll just put some examples in the body)
Examples of ones I love:
Dark Souls (1-3): Does have a plot, lots of lore, but really the plot is not the main aspect of the game, and you can fully play through and enjoy the games without understanding the plot
Wolfenstein Games: while a lot more story driven than dark souls is, the gameplay in itself is by far the main aspect of the game
Borderlands 2-3: this one may be a weird one, as it seems like it would be even more story driven than the last two, and it most likely is, but the gameplay still has clear priority over the story itself
