Tarkov is punishing on purpose, and most of the punishment comes from other players: the one you never saw, the one camping the extract. Take them out and you still have a game about looting, inventory and not wanting to lose your kit.
These are the closest games to Tarkov with PvP-focused titles removed. Most are single-player or PvE extraction shooters; a few are story shooters with the same bleak, scavenging mood.
No PvP removes games where PvP is the point: games whose top Steam tags include PvP, Competitive, Battle Royale, Hero Shooter or MOBA; multiplayer games with PvP and no single-player mode; PvP MMOs; and PvP games that sell in-app purchases. Games with an optional PvP mode alongside a single-player or co-op campaign stay on the list.
