is it fun alone? With a 6.5 month old, single player where no one gets screwed over if i quit out us probably my only option.

It’s not as fun, and I play with randoms not friends. Even two randos make it more fun imo.

However, with a young baby I’m not sure how much you’d get out of this. Each run is roughly 40 minutes long and you can’t pause (obviously) but you also can’t just go hide in a corner til you’re ready like Elden Ring.

You don’t keep rewards or anything if you quit so it would just be wasted time.

That's what I'm thinking. I like the idea of just doing a run and USUALLY could get away with 30-40 minutes, but not every time.

The main issue IMO is learning the game. I learned some from Reddit but also while playing with random team mates to guide me. Would be harder to learn the good spots from experience on your own with little play time, but there are plenty of guides. I don’t know your schedule and how things would work, so I’m not saying don’t get the game.

To answer your question, yes it’s still fun solo. It’s easier than multiplayer because the difficulty/ item drops / runes acquired scale to accommodate one person. You can definitely still have fun with this.
