It 100% intends you to play with others. It is not meant to be played single player, it just can be if you insist. You will not get the same experience.
That being said, I’ve played a ton on PC with no mic, just using the in game target and item marking system and a couple text messages occasionally, without any issue. Playing with randoms isn’t a big issue most of the time.
Just don’t take it too seriously. Half of the fun to be honest is not noticing someone threw a stratagem for a 500kg bomb into that crater you’re jumping into kill the bugs and dying to a massive explosion. The game tells you everything a player calls something in and there’s a light from God showing you where it’s going, but sometimes you just miss it. Or the guy was prepping to throw it and died so they dropped it at their feet.

It is a great game even if it essentially required multiplayer. You might be able to borrow a friend’s copy through steam’s family library sharing or something like that to try out.
There’s no like ranking system or anything to worry about messing up a friend’s account as a new player.

My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
I might give it a go, all the reviews I read talked about the multiplayer requirements for the missions and gameplay.
How good is it solo? Have you tried it?
I can regularly run suicide missions as a solo. The trick is to not die because the forced respawns really fuck you over.

Thank you for the honest take. Sounds like I am going to skip out on this one. Rather learn this way than spend money or deal with the refund process.
