I played the game solo to get to good enough stuff to play with friends in a hardmode server (they would have provided equipment if I asked probably, but I preferred exploring the game by myself first). Ended up barely playing with friends.
It was a bit hard to get into at first because I didn’t like the starting weapon. The stab motion felt too difficult. But you can pretty quickly get a sword that swings and it’s much better.
I got really hooked on the game after pushing just a bit further to get a better weapon.
Hope you’re able to get through that at some point. There’re some banger 2d games. Terraria, of course. Stardew(ish) if the farm sim genre is your jam. Hollow Knight, which is in contention for my favorite game of all time. A huge number of great rogue-likes.
I never could get into terraria, but some days I want to buy it just to support a good developer.
Already own it, but sometimes I want to buy it again for the same reason. But also to try to get certain friends to play.
If I had friends and my own set time to just game I think it would be fun. But those types of games are not fun alone for me.

I think after years and years of 3d games, I just don’t like 2d anymore.
I’ve become institutionalized by a third dimension…
I don’t even enjoy Castlevania anymore and those games were my jam back in the day.
That’s a real shame. I barely enjoy games at all anymore but here’s hoping Stalker 2 ends up good.
Baldur’s Gate 2 is in my all time top three. I loved the sequel and played the shit out of it, for a few weeks and never finished.
For what it’s worth Symphony of the Night is also in my top 3.
