Just watched this video and the first thing that i tough was Etho parkour base, when the server updates to the Chaos Cubed drop i feel like this would fit perfectly in the base, the launch you can get with this to use in normal jumps is a lot.
(There is a TLDR at the end.)
I recently remembered playing a lot of Ragnarok years ago, and i feel like playing it again, but i also remember thatsome of the things that made me stop was bots, pay to win items, time-gated "events" like a boss spawn that would imediately die from a high level player, etc.
But there is also a lot that i like from the game, the variety in areas, monsters and bosses that are unique, rare drops from both that makes so you grind them, the quests that you could find talking to npcs around the word, some requesting a lot of an item to craft something and others just to explore or find stuff, the amount of equipaments and weapons each with buffs and the rare ones actually being better than a normal one, the amount of skills each class had, the secondary systems the game had like pets, the level up system and stats being easy to understand and at least from what i remember the effects from armor/weapons/cards where easy to understand so you knew what each thing did.
So i was looking for something that would be similar but singleplayer, the problem is that from the quick search i did i couldnt find much, it seems to be quite rare for a game similar to this, not only that but most suggestions i found dont quite match what im looking for, to give some examples:
Games that kinda fits what i want:
Secrets of Grindea: i found and played this game some time ago, i wasnt even looking for something like Ragnarok at the time, but i had a lot of fun with this game and when i saw it suggested i tought about it and yeah i want something a bit like this.
CrossCode: this one i havent played but from what i found it also kinda fits what i want, except it looks to bew very puzzle heavy, but that isnt a problem for now i think, but i need to play to see.
Games that doesnt fit what i want:
Elden Ring: I have played elden ring and other Souls games, and while it looks like it fits what im looking for it isnt exactly this that i want, it has the monsters / bosses unique per area and unique armor / weapon but i dont know if its the graphics, the combat or the gameplay but this isnt what i want, i think one of the problems was that it was too open world, like no direction or quest system so i was lost most of the time i was playing.
Monster Hunter: This is one i havent played but i have seen it suggested a lot when it comes to games like i want, but from videos i have seen it looks to have some of the same problems i have with elden ring.
TLDR: I want a game like Ragnarok but singleplayer for PC, mostly looking for something more like Secrets of Grindea/CrossCode with top down view and stylized graphics with lots to explore, quest to do, items to find, etc. But i dont want things like Elden Ring or Monster Hunter with "complex" combat and no direction to what to do.
