> What does "single player gimmick" in your sentences here mean?

When I've seen this written it's often explained as to do with the fact that single-player is a much more curated experience, where the developers can stage-manage where you go and even where you look, and discard resources they know you won't see again.

That's why single-player often looks way better than multiplayer, where a) the experience isn't that curated and b) fps matters much more.
