Recommend me some video games for single player.

Post by brian m »

I don't pay attention to video games like I used to so I'm out of the loop. I never play online and it seems most new games have an uber-short single player campaign that's really just a glorified tutorial for multiplayer.
I received an Xbox one last year and spent a few months playing through FO 4. That was okay, but FO3 was better.
Also to make choices slimmer I hate D&D style fantasy games like elder scrolls stuff. I never bothered finishing Oblivion or Skyrim.

The only game on my radar right now is Titanfall 2

Knytt Stories. Music is fucking good!
Nethack.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Silent Hill 2

I don't know if you can find any these on Xbox or whatever online library system Xbox uses though.

The two Metro games are spectacular and well worth doing.

Oh and Alien Isolation, that was really spectacular and the story is really lengthy for a horror game.

De batmans?
They have a re-master of the last-gen games "return to Arkham" I think, and Arkham Knight is around $20 these days. Those are some of my favorite games. I also really enjoy Far Cry 4 and Far Cry Primal. In Primal you get to play as a fuckin caveman!

Dishonoured is awesome.
Dishonoued 2 seems pretty good thus far, too.
I enjoyed the shit out of GTA V's SP.
Sleeping Dogs was alot of fun.
The Last of Us is literally one of the most satisfying games I have ever played, bar none. Simply exquisite.
Metro 2033 wasn't too bad.
Mad Max was different, and can be interesting. It's dirt cheap used, now.
Dragon Age Inquisition was fantastic, although you said you didn't care for fantasy. I found it to be far superior to Witcher 3.
The Division had a really great SP story, and was immense fun to play the "campaign." Online MP is trash.
Wasteland 2 is the best game I've ever waited 25 years to play.

If you like platforming: Inside (and Limbo if you haven't played it already)

+1 on Dishonored

The Last Guardian (PS4)

The Last of Us (PS4)

Uncharted series (PS4)

Basically, get a PS4. Sony puts out far greater single player experiences than Microsoft.

Dark Souls 3 is fantasy... but Dark Souls 3.

XCOM Enemy Unknown+Enemy Within are backwards compatible, I think?

Ikaruga is backwards compatible! Radiant Silvergun isn't... such a neglected game :cry:

Halo: Master Chief Collection seems like a good buy even if you don't do multiplayer.

Thought I posted earlier but guess I didn't hit submit.

Another vote for Witcher 3 and Dishonored. Haven't played Dis 2 yet, but it looks fucking sweet.
