  • Despite what naysayers might have said, single-player games continue to keep a strong presence within the games industry to the point that many of the biggest games in the current market landscape are single-player releases.
    Single-player games encompass a huge number of genres including but not limited to those played in the first-person perspective. The last few years have seen a large number of single-player first-person games that had impressive critical reception but eventually slipped under the radar for one reason or another.
    With this feature, we will be putting a spotlight on such games and counting down 15 of the best single-player first-person games that you probably didn’t play - but definitely should.

    Not many people liked Rage 2 but I personally loved it! Fast paced fighting Doom style, awesome abilities/guns, great graphics/sound, high fps, day/night cycle, different biomes, fun enemies, long campaign! The only thing it lacked for me was the in between areas didn't have much.

    Far Cry 6 is great fun. I think game reviewers are often too critical of titles because gaming is their job. I’d hate anything I had to do for 8 hours a day. For us civilians, many of these “lackluster” games are exactly what we want. FC6 has cool side missions and very satisfying gun play. Felt the same thing happened to Biomutant and AC Valhalla.

    • @EloquentSummerRaven
      @EloquentSummerRaven Před 7 měsíci +1

      I suspect severe critics on game like FarCry are in light to the series itself. Critics also considers what is the value proposition of a new iteration of the franchise, which is an important point imo.

    Vanishing of Ethan Carter scratched a particular itch I was feeling after Firewatch, which is sadly missing from this list.

      fr. EA was the dumbass entity that pretty much highlighted the idea of "single player games are dead". Yet when they released Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, it received critical success.
      Then you factor in Ubisoft. Pretty much the antithesis to what you mentioned about single player games by somehow turning them into a live service

    First part of Dying Light was good, but second part was a total disappointment. I definitely wouldn't even play it a second time. Styx like I don't see it, and both parts are perfect, I don't see any of the Tomb Raider parts, and quite a few more amazing single player games. The first version of Shadow Warrior for Dos, although it is old and has bad graphics, is many times better than the new versions, which are boring.
