Compare Playing a Game Solo versus with Others to Pick the Right Mode
Some games are better alone. Some are better with people. Sometimes the same game is different depending on whether you want to think or want to chat. This compares what each mode actually delivers for the specific game, matches it to what you said you need, and gives you a recommendation.

{WHAT_YOU_WANT_FROM_IT} is the user's description of what they are looking for from gaming at the moment: relaxation, challenge, social connection, escapism, or something else.
