Best single player games to play?

not trying to spend a whole lot xD but feeling pretty burnt out from OW and fps games as a whole so will probably stop playing for a bit.

any recommendations?

Hades is cheap and endless replayability

But there’s tons of games on sale. Depends what ya feel like playing. Shooters, solving puzzles, adventure.

YouTube or Google search summer sales

Limbo is also really good. I love those games.

OP - Stray is very underrated too. You get to play as a cat. How awesome is that?

And I think Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West are criminally underrated. So good!

And if you like Souls games, Elden Ring has some new DLC.

Stray is actually very beautiful game. Its also only around 25$ i think. Pretty cheap if you dont want to spend too much.

2nd this, especially with 2nd one in early access, grab a controller and lean back

Metroid prime remaster
Elden ring
The messenger
The outer wilds
The outer worlds

Halo, especially the story mode.

Yer welcome. :slightly_smiling_face:

Genshin Impact is free and has more content than just about any of the premium single player experiences. It also has a relatively low time commitment if you just want to maintain your account which makes it an excellent side game.

I recently played Dread Delusion. A simple little indie title that has environments and exploration that feel a bit Morrowindish.

First game in many years that left me feeling a certain way, same way morrowind had me feeling. Can’t quite describe it. Awe?

If you have a PS5 FF7 Rebirth is my personal GOTY (probably already guessed it from my name lol), Stellar blade is also pretty good and Elden Ring just got it’s DLC.

For Switch I’m a big fan of both Metroid Prime and Paper Mario TTYD

i was palying crackdown 3 in campaign mode it has goth single and coop mode

Easily among my favorite games of all time. Just bad luck that they released the same years (respectively) as Breath of the Wild (which, IMO, is vastly overrated) and Elden Ring.

But why did they make Aloy ugly?

If you have not tried out Hogwarts Legacy yet, it is amazing. Also Hi-Fi Rush is really good but it is one of those rare games you will want to have a controller for

For me, my favourite story based games at the moment are the last of us and stray

tlou part 2 during lockdown genuinely ruined me mentally. though these two games are still quite expensive and also just generally really popular so i’d be surprised if anyone hasn’t played them yet

stray was on sale recently as well and it happens quite often i love those calmer scenic games. also you get to play as a cat i mean how awesome is that

also my last rec would be viewfinder. it’s more of a puzzle game than a story one but i am really enjoying it so far

Half Life: Alyx (Best game I’ve ever played)
Portal (1 & 2)
Rimworld
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Also, IMHO, eldin ring is… it’s just not my thing.

Elden Ring/Armored Core 6 are pretty awesome fromsoft releases but they still aren’t particularly cheap (or easygoing).

If you’re looking for something extremely removed from FPS, I also have been enjoying Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere program.
