 Yep, play a type of game too much and at some point you need a break from it. Glad you've found another game* that you're enjoying but I've never been into computer games that you play with other people. Not that I don't enjoy it when I do it but instead it doesn't sit well with my gaming is something I do when I fancy it and not something that is scheduled**.

Well we're both here already which makes it easier.  No need to schedule, just when we both feel like it.
I've been playing it without her a bit, but it's got 4 classes which you can play from the start, and it helps the other classes a bit too as some of the pickups (weapon & armor) you get gets allocated to different classes, and you can play it solo just fine.
I did like playing online with EDF 5 with 4 players, but I'm not feeling the call to play online this time.

**Much like some of the players I had when I started GM'ing Call of Cthulhu. Out of the four players, three of them seem to think it was perfectly fine just to turn up if they had nothing better to do and to make it worse no fore warning they weren't going to play and no apology afterwards to me or others. I did make it clear that I understand that sometimes real life gets in the way but you do need to make a commitment to actually playing. As that fell on deaf ears I just said I'm not GM'ing then. Fortunately within a couple of weeks I had found another player and I'm have a blast with just having two PC's who are very invested in the game.

Yeah, RPGs aren't like playing any old board-game.  You can make it more episodic, and indeed that's how it was originally played, but it's far more engaging and entertaining when you have a consistent set of characters.
Everything's so ephemeral theses days, that's a hard thing to achieve now though.
