Is Playing The Isle Solo Better Than Joining a Group?

Closed thread Closed by archive

I mostly play solo because my friends aren't interested in spending half an evening growing a dinosaur.

People keep saying the game is much better with a group, though. Is that actually true, or does playing alone have its own advantages?

I enjoy the quiet exploration, but getting cornered by something bigger is a pretty miserable experience.

Groups can be fun, but you also inherit everyone else's bad decisions.

Nothing like watching your entire group run toward a noise that you specifically said sounded dangerous.

Solo is more tense. You have to make your own decisions, and there's nobody to blame when you mess up.

The biggest advantage of a group is having other people to talk to while you grow. It makes the downtime feel shorter.

Depends on the dinosaur and the server rules too. Grouping isn't always possible or sensible.

My friends would absolutely be the ones running toward the noise.

Sounds like you need new friends. Or quieter headphones.
