I have almost 1,200 hours in The Witcher 3. That game got me through a difficult time in my life, it'll always have a special place in my heart.
The beauclair and bank of sansretour are literally one of the best and most melodic themes I have ever heard. And I have listened to it 1000 times Over years. Never gets old.
Whenever I am in a bad time i listen to them to feel relaxed and it works so good. Legendary dlc.
Me toooooo! I just played it with the next gen update, I removed all hud from my screen and played it by memory. I enjoyed it so much!❤
That's dedication. Witcher 3 probably is the last game I've put in over 100 hours. Other than Pub G
nobody asked you that nor do they care
i can totaly relate that every person have some games that get him out from dim days me too zelda Totk was such a game its not the best story for an old person like me me to get into it 25+ yealrs of age but it was a wonderful vibe to the game that bring me some relief from what i was going through oh yeah assassins creed odessey was such a game i have good memories with it
Very surprised RDR2 isn’t on the list. That game is a masterpiece filled with what seems like endless details
I bought it because the online looked kinda cool to play around in, but I haven't even touched the online yet. The single player is so good.
sadly online is dead and not worth it but thats fine to me cuz the single player is so good @@JasonHoningford
@@JasonHoningfordto many bugs not worth ur time bro
Red dead doesn't compare to some of the games on this list, you can complete it 100% and have nothing left to do relatively fast
@@robertrichard2322... relatively fast? 🤣🤣🤣
Im so glad Kingdom Come Deliverance was included in this list its one of my favorite games of all time!
i love seeing larian studios get the attention they deserve, divinity original sin 2 is by far my favorite game. i haven't gotten the chance to play baldurs gate 3 yet but i will definetely play that soon
There’s nothing like a truly great single player experience. This is a awesome list
Yeah man it really is a great deal.😉
They absolutely ignored games like Stalker anomaly with the gamma mod. This game is something else. I think it should be on that list just because it is totally different from what we get from that list.
an
Facts, can’t wait for Starfield! Currently loving BG3 too!
I agree I’m a single player over multi player! I guess the closer I get is GTA online but that’s be a while! Never played a souls games but that might change soon!
For me a game that surprisingly kept me playing for so long was Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Recruiting orc captains, hunting down nemesis or pit fighting are so fun and addicting
Just started playing that game and man am I addicted! I already have 200 hours and I’ve been playing for 3 weeks 😅
Completely agree, awesome game
Yo, that was the shit. cultivating the right equiptment andd the right type of orc really take times but really enjoyable
It gets boring after awhile.
3 weeks, 200 hours of playtime? You spent more than 8 days out of 21 days of your life on playing a game.
A little more than 40 percent of your day is spent on gaming. Well done. I don't know how you manage it.
It takes me 3 or 4 months to play that much, and even then I'm pushing it to the very limit.
I'm assuming you don't have a job?
Cannot praise Kingdom Come enough, even while it has it's technical issues at times. It does a tremendous job immersing you in the world with it's mechanics and story while providing a enjoyable challenge curve that is very rewarding.
It was the absolute best game ever.
Most of the game-breaking issues have been worked out though. And I agree, most immersive game ever.
you play with controller or m+k?
@@Jdub0126 I've played both, originally on ps4 and more recently on PC
@@Jdub0126 me? kbrd & mouse
The Mass Effect Trilogy! Awesome story, really enjoyed them.
except the ending and some plotholes in the third game. but still i will never forget mass effect experience use it as a benchmark against new games.
Fantastic series, particularly ME1 & 2. ME3 had great moments but I wasn’t a fan of some of the writing in that game, particularly how the Illusive Man went from being a nuanced, complex character in the previous game to a more one-dimensional “evil” antagonist in ME3.
I played Kingdom Come Deliverance for around 400 hrs and I cherish every moment of that.. most immersive rpg ever.. I have finished the main story along with all dlcs and side quests twice and maxed out all skills and stats... obviously you can see that I got totally obsessed with this game because of how natural, real and immersive it was and still play it to this day.. it still drops my jaw to see all the cool little details I still find to this day in all the different quests in this game... I actually feel like a real medieval knight living in the 1400s... its amazing, surreal and unreal... realism and historical accuracy is totally off the charts for this one...
Crazy immersion, so many feels
Such a good game loved everything about it the scenery the history thr combat the story
the game had so much charm and considering it was warhorse's first game is mindblowing i have a little under 300 hours and i havent even played the dlcs yet
Same I have many many hrs on it.
Nice to see you Henry!
Oh god what happend to your clothes?!
The Fallout series. I have just replayed F4, New Vegas and F3 in that order and all three are amazingly immersive.
try playing the metro series, exodus is soooo good
@@salgarellius7434 Oh yeah, Exodus is amazing!
I struggle to replay 4 it's not as engaging new Vegas deffo the mvp have spent a few hundred hours there and this week I'll revisit megaton
I know there’s so much to do in those games but I just can’t get into it
agreed, i played 4 about 150hrs and tried again years later, just couldn't do it.@@pedroamedro
Funny thing about KCD, I once stopped going to uni for a week and missed my finals playing this game. Good times.
Dragons Dogma was a seriously awesome RPG. I had never played a game with so many mythical creatures. Also I had never played a game where you could actually climb monsters. It is a crazy cool game and can be difficult which also makes it awesome. Another great thing about it is you can borrow a partner from other players online called Pawns. Or you can borrow a pawn from someone on your friends list. Pawns aid you in future battles making it alot of fun. Dragons Dogma is in my top 10 favorite RPG games of all time that includes all the mmorpgs as well.
You should try Shadow of the Colossus, it's pretty much entirely dedicated to climbing monsters. I'm also playing dragons dogma right now
@@irecordwithaphone1856 bro comparing shadow of the colossus to DDDA over the climbing mechanic is entirely stupid. totally different games and DDDA as so much more to offer it's not like people love it over that one mechanic alone lmao
you gonna play the sequel
@@ticomibe639 playing DD2 and its hard as hell and you have such low carry weight/carrying capacity
DD is bad , bad looting bad inventory bad pawn ai bad missions bad story bad bad bad only good thing is combat thats all
Ghost of Tsushima is one of the only games I've had the motivation to 100% complete since I was a kid. I really liked the unique wind mechanic
Last third of it burned me out with again fox shrines to find, duel outposts, enemy camps, more repetitive sheet, etc... I wanted it to end after the game's 2/3. I did love the Tomb Raider temples to parkour up, needed more of them!
I dont think ive ever spent longer than 30hrs each playthrough. I've replayed the game 3 times since its release and its amazing, but I personally dont see how someone could spend any longer than 40hrs on it.
I still love that game so much. It's been my favorite game since the launch. I got the plat 3 years ago, it was so worth it because I had fun
I got hooked on the Legends multiplayer update for a long time!🔥
I don't think that game is 100+ hours though.
I'm happy that Kingdom Come Deliverance is in the list. I played it a few months ago and clocked 135 hours to almost do everything.
It's a great game, especially in its pure role-playing ability and the realness of it all. It's a slow game though, hence why it is very easy to spend 100 hours in it when you become engrossed in it.
I absolutely love the shit out of it to the point that I never finished the main quest and still got 232 hours on it!
One of the best aRPGs i have played, very underrated imo.
Screw that monastery quest though 😂
I'm roughly halfway through my current play at 131 hours and close to a total of 1900 hs on Steam but as I played on a ...lets call it 'free demo' at first, I may have over 2500 hs in total,
I never even tried to rush through it.
@@DoomsdayMayBeOkaydude i was having a rough day when I got to the monastery quest and it got worse when I started it lmao. I just looked up who the guy was and stealth killed him and left.
Great list!
Prophesy of Pendor was one of my favourites (a mod for Mount & Blade).
Probably put over a thousand hours into this! 😁
I went well over 100 hours in my first Elden ring run, also happened to be my first ever souls game. I tried to go to every part of the map that I could find
Same and same, I think I beat it in about 120+ and skipped so much haha
Kingdom Come is one of my favorite games, ever. I love how realistic it is, with no magic, dragons or mythical creatures. I think it's highly underrated and I hope they're making a second one, soon!
ahem, about those witches in the jungle. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm feeling quite hungry
Its definitely a game. I liked everything except for the combat. It was too finicky for me
@@RangoSledge For me the movement physics were the problem(and mainly when using a horse),everything else was good.
@@RangoSledge it was perfect for 1v1 duels , Jank as hell for more than one,
Bannerlord is such a power trip, it awakens something dormant in your DNA as you start alone from nothing to raising armies and gradually conquering the lands you walk upon, there’s nothing quite like it.
I agree. Its a bit slow to get there and youre very weak to start. But once the time is invested the payoff is amazing
@@GigaChadDuPlessis Very true. Just like every video game, the grind and progression is where the fun lies.
Is the first one worth playing? Can't afford Bannerlord right now!
@@albo2711 Absolutely. Warband isn't graphically demanding at all, and is infamous for being an addictive time sink. The mods are where it truly shines, though; You want a fantasy world? You've got it. You want sengoku Japan? Got it. Rome? Got it. Star Wars? Lord of The Rings? Warhammer? It's all there in the steam workshop.
Yeah, and in the beginning you’re weak and then you’re giga-chad deciding the fate of the battle on your own… great game indeed.
Oh my beloved Kingdom come Deliverance.. I still open it from time to time, simply to go for a stroll in the forest, looking for cute houses I'd picture myself living haha. Reading books by a campfire is also lovely to do. Obviously I like a lot of this in real life as well. But doing it in medieval times.. fantastic!
Never see wasteland 3 get too much love, amazing game all around imo, especially if you're a fan of the older style turn based combat or the original fallouts
👍🏻👍🏻
Just finished it yesterday, my ending was a a bit lacklustre but the game is great
it took me like 3 years to finish The Witcher 3 and its DLCs. what an experience.
that game is massive, yet every side quest or random enconter felt unique and meaningful.
So true, usually i get tired of repeating the same mechanism used in side quests, witcher 3 is the only game where I looked forward to side quests because of its mysterious nature. You begin with a random investigation and have no idea how the story is gonna turn out. The DLCs was the best I've played in any game. I always thought it would revolutionize gaming, but turned out to be a classic all other games could look up to but never reach
Same here! There were so many great contracts and side quests that I was just lost in the world and especially the DLCs, Gaunter will forever haunt me but Regis was my freaking bro😁
Aerondight is my bitch 😄
I soooo badly wanna go back and play it again, but I remember how I spent well over 300 hours on it my first time WITHOUT DLC, and it's what always scares me away from a second complete playthrough. I own the DLC too, but have never really played it.
@@stevenstump246 the DLCs are totally worth it, and yeah it's gonna take a lot of time to complete blood and wine, heart of stone is comparatively small yet both are equally great. Both stories sucks you in right away.
Kingdom come is easily the most immersive game I’ve played, not to mention the real history behind the story and world. Such an underrated game.
I loved that game. The story was so good and playing the game it actually felt like I was a blacksmiths son being transformed into a sword swinging machine lol. The story is beyond amazing and actually had me tearing up at the end. Only one other game did that to me and RDR2 did that as well
Glad I ain’t the only one
One of the most broken games ive ever played to its up there
@@Kevalanium that’s a shame can’t say I’ve ever experienced anything major in terms of bugs.
@@FSeg7 I have horendous graphical bugs they're so bad to the point where it took like 20 minutes or more just for one area to load mind you have a 3080 with i7 10-900KHF and 32gb of ram so i stopped playing the game entirely because of it most cute scenes the textures weren't even loading in.
Games that i have played recently where i have spend tons of hours:
- Around or more than 100 hours: Far Cry 6, Horizon Zero Dawn
- Around or more than 200 hours: Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin´s Creed: Valhalla
- Around or more than 500 hours: Europa Universalis IV
Thanks for the great run down of games Gameranx. I can't wait for the upcoming Dragon's Dogma II coming out in late March, Enshrouded and Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria are both excellent single player/co-op games that just came out recently.
Currently going through Ghosts of Tsushima, I didn't realize how massive and long the story was until I completed Act 1. Quickly rising in my favorites list
Man such a good game. Spent 2 weeks straight finishing it
Depending on how you play and how long you spend playing per day it's pretty easy to platinum the whole game in under a week
I definitely put in 100+ on Ghost. So pumped for you to keep it going, you’ve got a lot of really good story ahead.
Finished it quite some time ago, but remember feeling the same way once I finished Act 1. Was like, "Wait, didn't I just beat the game?" Oh no. I was nowhere near over.
i couldn't bring myself to play any more assassin creed games after having finished Ghost of Tsushima. Like AC literally makes me feel a little bit sick, and I used to be a fanboy. Ghost of Tsushima is that good.
"Mad Max" from 2015 doesn't get much appreciation, but I really enjoyed it. Cruising around the open world looking for treasure, vehicle upgrades, challenging marauder strongholds, gathering loot, with a very good if not tragic main story line, it was very cool. Surprised so many people didn't like it, one of the most underappreciated games ever.
Agreed! I enjoyed driving in Mad Max more than any car racing game I've ever played. I also loved the combat and the mistery element of the game. Sound effects are pretty awesome too.
Me too I hope one day we will see Mad Max 2 😢🥺
I had an absolute blast playing that game, I still recommend it to people this day!
suuuuuuuper underrated and under the radar game.
one of the best surprises i've had in like the last ten years of gaming.
I think because it was kind of repetitive but what game isn’t to some extent if we’re being honest. I never finished the game but I enjoyed it and watched the ending to it.
Some of these I've surprisingly never heard of. A few of them actually look really good, gonna have to check them out
Mountain blade warfare looks incredible, my type of game. I never knew it existed. Thank you sir!
Kingdom Come Deliverance was possibly the best "on a whim"/random game purchase I think I've ever made. It was such a steep learning curve but I'm so glad I found it cause it was everything I wanted in a medieval setting game for an rpg. Can't recommend it enough, especially if you're a fairly die hard survival fan cause it's a really good bridge into an RPG game but with very extensive and fun survival elements.
I feel quite hungry
Same I had gotten it for free with psp but they removed it recently so I can’t play it no more I was so upset
I couldn't get over how annoying it was to lockpick those chests. I never hated anything more than that in a game. 😬
@@cbsa6636Lockpicking on console was hard af, even with the assist😭 idk bout pc. Never bought it for my PC. Might buy it now
I really liked KCD, but that monastery questline just has to be one of the worst questlines I've seen in years. It took me 3-4 days to make myself complete it.
For me Red Dead Redemption 2 fits on this list. Long and incredible story. Tons of side activities. An open world that sucks you in with it's environmental storytelling and atmosphere. An absolutely incredible game that I have sunk so much time into
Long travel hours shouldn't be counted in the gameplay time lmao
Ironically, they didn't pack the map with enough things to do.
+ it was massively inspired by witcher 3, so I highly recommend that game instead.
Yakuza is a shout
Yea i put over 700+ hrs in that game it was so fun
I think it's fair to say that the game doesn't need mentioning anymore imo
Persona five be breaking 100+ hours with just the main story
Kingdom Come deliverance is the single most immersive game I have ever played. I literally spent hours just hanging out at taverns and playing dice... My only real gripe with the game and the one thing I'd caution people about is the combat. Not that it's bad, but it's got quite a skill ceiling if you're new to these type of games and it's especially frustrating when you're fighting more than 1 opponent, because the mechanics seem to be designed for 1v1. But again, an utterly immersive game. A beautiful and authentic medieval setting, great music, great acting, and a good/great story all accumulates into the most immersive game I have played.
Acting there not real bro 😂😂
@@leefagan Kingdom Come: Deliverance utilised motion capture recording; the actors quite literally walked every step and spoke every word that you see in the game's cutscenes...
@@leefagan better than yours id wager
@@kalelson8861 I don’t want to be better then cartoons at acting
Kingdom Come Deliverance needs a sequel! Amazing game!
Both the Xenoblade and Yakuza series also deserved a spot in this list!
Ive heard and seen good things from both. Very good suggestions.
Agreed. The Yakuza series is my favorite and all the games come packed with an insane amount of things to do. Yakuza 0, 5 and 7 could easily give a 100+ hrs of playtime.
lol I've probably spent 100s of hours in Yakuza games, but 1/2 of that is playing mahjong and koi koi....
@@elasmojones two of the best games tbh lol
@@sugreev2001because it takes 100 hours in travel time and cutscenes alone.
I played The Witcher 3 and KCD for a looooot of time, you just can't stop playing it
thank you so much for making this list! my laptop can play most of this and Im excited to play them in the future!
I just finished Kingdom Come Deliverance with over a 100 hours of playtime. Highly recommend for any RPG lovers out there. If you're also a New Vegas fan like me and have been looking for RP games that allows you to come with multiple solutions for a problem, then this is one of those games. KCD is definitely in my top 5 RPG games and I can't recommend it enough for its immersion and storytelling.
Couldn't agree more, there needs to be more RPG's like KCD that don't hold your hand the entire time, let you figure things out in a creative way and, most importantly, fail quests and continue with the repercussions. THAT is how you get immersed and invested in a game
trash combat system
@@RobouteGuilliman972 why? Once u used to it, the combat system was very fun. I love it.
@@RobouteGuilliman972 Fantastic combat system, try fighting in real life with a sword or axe and shield then revisit that comment
@@robertrichard2322 Yeah totally....I had these lebo's last week that just didn't respond to common sense so what choice did I have but to put out good ole' 'Rusty'!!
Stardew Valley would be a good addition to the list for those players who aren’t looking for heavy combat and graphics-heavy gaming. And it’s available on almost every portable gaming device and smartphone, so it’s great for those who travel or game on-the-go.
+ its co-op! Such a great game
That's not a fantasy console RPG, so it definitely doesn't go on this highly biased list.
and terraria
granted I did multiple playthroughs, I have over 1000+ hours
@@paulgoldson7980technically no, not on mobile it’s not co-op
@@joshmartin2744Octopath Traveler 2's not even on the list! How can you miss the RPG where the quality turn-based combat is as long or short as you'd like it to be?!
Played almost all of these games and absolutely agree. I would probably also have added Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout 4 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous to the list for good measure.
I played everything but mount and blade 2. Wish there were more. ty for recommendation, never heard of Pathfinder
Yeah, I was pretty surprised not to see a mention of RDR2.
I played mb2 for 450 hours and still playing. you should definitely play @@blad...
bloodborne will go down in history as one of my favorite games ever, the gameplay, the gothic environment, its a souls like game but also its own beast, its truly amazing. for those that play dark souls games you know bloodborne feels completely different (mainly due to the quick sidestep dodge, but other things as well) in a good way!
Shadow of Mordor/War. Those are games that I love going back to and with the DLCs and different in-game challenges, I always love going back to those games.
Mass Effect Trilogy, probably my favorite series. Going back and replaying as the opposite Renegade/Paragon or a different class (Vanguard is my favorite, but I've grown to like Engineer and am currently using it on my Insanity run).
Cyberpunk 2077, there's so much to do in this game.
Also to mention, simulation games like Sims, Sim City (my favorite is Societies), Roller Coaster Tycoon (or the modern equivalent), Stardew Valley, Minecraft, etc.
Wish there would come a 60fps update. I have a hard time going back to 30fps.
Agree with all minus cyberpunk, I still don't feel that game is complete, it feels superficial and artificial.
@@NgenHD1234yea cyberpunk is just eye candy, it's an amazing game but it's so short then after completing all the missions there wasn't any reason to explore the world besides driving around night city
Fun fact : if you run sentinel, max your armor ability and run the extra ability of fortification, you can get 90% damage reduction. I used this to do a melee / shotgun run of the game. Quite fun.
Persona 5 is over 100 hour game with such a diverse story and each person having their own storyline without it ever feeling like a side quest
it could be 25 hrs long if those dumbasses didnt repeat every line for 4 times straight.
its only so long because the mechanics are slow as fuk. so i dont know if that counts. you are doing nothing most of the time.
@@CrolyGiartHalf the game is a life sim, so no surprise there
Great list of this kind of game.... the long, detailed, always discovering, and super creative.🎨 Thank you for doing this! I am always looking for lists like this.🙏 The only two on your list I haven't played are Bloodthorn and Elden Ring. I thought I might like Elden Ring but simply haven't tried yet. Dragon's Dogma is so cool because it is so unique... And now DD2 is coming! Well... I could say something personal about all of these I played.... they all hold a place in my heart. And I still go back for more playthroughs on nearly all of them too😊🎲▶
I very doubted regarding playing the Baldurs Gate 3, but damn I loved it so much.
I was expecting red dead redemption 2 to be in this. A great game to spend time in
I am playing it for the third time.
I really just love roaming around in the game and enjoy it after a stressful day.
It just feels different from playing other games.
@@shrenikashar167such a real comment. I’m playing it for the second time rn (beat it about 3 years ago) and it’s still the most detailed game I’ve ever played. I’ll go hours without even doing a single story mission because I’m hunting for pelts or just exploring. Best game of all time
Wish I could do that. Given the game many chances but I sadly find it too boring. No skills to progress, no real progression other than story or completionist stuff. Also, exploring is boring as there is no interesting loot to be found.@@reedified6514
I put in around 75 hours in KCD and thoroughly enjoyed everything in it. People need to try this. It just has a different feel to it unlike other medieval theme games
There are medieval themed games and medieval games... And KCD is definitely a medieval game.
I played through KCD last year and these are my thoughts.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 4/10
Kingdom Come Deliverance is a hard game to review because it presents itself as such a mixed bag. The game truly has so much potential, but it has so many drawbacks that consistently ruined my experience. When it shines KCD presented a fantastic novel worthy story, interesting characters, and fantastic depth while simultaneously plagued from frequent bugs, horrendous combat, and general unpolish at every turn. The game plays like a medieval sim with an emphasis on realism and survival. The systems and RPG elements of the game are innovative and really cool. I loved details like my character learning to read, ride a horse, and more. I played as a high charisma character and was able to talk myself out of most combat encounters or skip quests entirely, which was super rewarding to see the game respond in such a manner. The perk and leveling system also shines too with a plethora of intersting buff and debuffs. The RPG systems are fully developed and are frankly one of the reasons I kept playing. Bar none the best part of KCD is the quests. The game has a gritty but charming personality. The dialoge and humor kept me engaged in a way that doesn't often happen tok. The game is full of unique but believable characters too. I find my self torn in writing this review however, because while KCD has one of the best narrarive I've ever played it also has some of the worst gameplay for any modern RPG. The gameplay itself is slow, monotonous, and glitchy as hell. Looting, notoriety, crafting, item maintenance, etc. are all terrible. Beyond the dull gameplay KCD is also plagued by a plethora of glitches and awful combat. When the game released in 2018 was infamous for its glitches. In 2022 so many of these still remain. Many times over I lost 30+ minutes of gameplay due to bugs or crashes. One of the contributing problems is a needlessly restricive quick save system. You have to pay IN-GAME currency (about 130 gold) to quick save, which is ridiculous when completing a mission may offer 300-600 gold. If you quick save to protect from glitches, then you'll frequently eat into your profit. If you dont quick save, you'll repeat hours of gameplay due to the numerous and frequent bugs. This system is made worse by the numerous game crashes, collision glitches, and failed missions due to nonsensical AI. I estimate I had to reload saves 15-20 times due to glitches, sometimes costing me more than an hour's worth of time. It happened multiple times each session. Another problem I have with KCD is the combat. The combat is TERRIBLE. Absolute trash. I don't think I've ever played a game with worse combat - including titles like Daggerfall (1997) or Zelda 2 (1987). It's needlessly complicated, ineffective, random, and (once again) glitchy as heck. From the first fight until the final duel I dreaded combat encounters. I spent most of my time "cheeseing" rather than fighting. As I played, I wanted to like KCD but also found myself growing increasingly more annoyed by its shortcomings. I'm conflicted to rate a game with such a great campaign so low, but I can't excuse giving it anything higher because of the drawbacks. At first I tried to turn a blind eye to the problems, but by the end of the campaign I was rushing to finish the narrative praying that I wouldn't have to draw my sword on anyone or be bogged down by glitches. KCD has so much potential but in the end it was only a let down. 4/10
I'll give it another shot. I just couldn't get past the sword play, was super difficult. Maybe I didn't give it enough time.

@@ozie1uomeplay on Hardcore mode and with headphones 👍 my advice on "getting in to it"
Sports, racing sims are also great for single players. PES Master League mode is pure fun for me. Old Gran Turismo campaigns are also good. Replayability is huge. Borderlands 2 solo was good but you can play with friends in split screen too.
Dead Cells is also good for 100s hour.

dragons dogma has some of the most fun combat i have ever played with
glad to see Dragon's Dogma getting some love. One of my favorite games of all time
Cant wait for dd2 to come out!
Yesss
Kingdom Come Deliverance is so underrated I really can't believe how good it is especially considering the very small development team behind it. Every serious RPG fan should play it, you won't regret it.
Daniel Vavra, who is behind it also made the first two Mafia games. And in terms of narrative, those two games are still to this day the very best Mobster video games.
@@AlexDiaz-gw5ovYeah it all comes down to how good the devs are.
@@John-996 Indeed.
Yes its S tier
It's a really good game and i still feel bad for not finishing it. 😟

I started playing cyberpunk 2077 again and its definitely worth the time. I felt immediately immersed with the deep lore and world design

Don't think Larian has ever 'missed' with one of their releases. Glad to see their recent work on this list. And now we have BG3 out... great time to be a gamer.
Some of my happiest moments in 2021 were spent playing Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. That one has a pretty long story. Same with Persona 5 if you go for massive completion, but I got a little fatigued playing it TBH
Kingdoms of Amalour, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption, Persona 5 Royal, Final Fantasy 16 easily fits this criteria. Great single player games that you could sink 100+ hrs into.
kingdom of amalur is heavily underrated, one of my favourite games of all time
@@laughydawg9594 yeah that game needs more recognition
I loved Kingdoms of Amalur.
@@laughydawg9594 is it a very dull game, none of the characters are memorable, only the combat is good but still the time slow thing and the potions destroy it
I remember asking my dad to buy me that way back, but I ended up not playing all the way through sadly, and now the remaster exists, so maybe I'll buy that and play, or I'll just install the original and play.
Persona 5 Royal is the only game I've ever spent 150 hours only for the main story and after that I wanted to start all over again. That game truly is a unique experience
The SMT series is awesome
I completed Persona 5 then 3 months later started again on Royal. So I agree!
I honestly feel the same way about 4 as well, might start feeling that way about 3 when I finally play it properly, I just kinda wore myself out by playing 4, 5 Royal and Strikers within the span of 3 or 4 weeks. 4 took me 130h to get every achievement etc, Royal I played twice within 190h (first run took like 140h of that) and Strikers took me around 50h.
Now you just gotta play strikers
5 was the first I had ever played and will forever love. Playing it helped me deal the grief and depression I was experiencing at the time.
Kingdom Come is the best RPG experience I've had since Star Wars Galaxies
So happy to see Kingdom Come in the list, it may not be so replayable, but the game is a true masterpiece and a true medieval simulator (especially on highest difficulty)
Why not replayable? It has so many options
Glad to see that mount and blade is getting some love. It is a strange and hard game at the beginning but once you start building your army and fighting bigger battles it becomes something very special. The sound of charging down the battlefield with your cavalery behind you, the twang of bowstrings, the hard thuds of weapon hitting shield… and it is not just he battles. You help village’s, rule settlements, negotiate, influence your kingdoms politics, make friends,…
The game is ruined by the TaleWorlds. I love games where I get an update every 3 months that consists of "Patched Obscure bug" and "Added 1 additional map" without providing any real depth to the game. Such a downgrade from the original title, a shame that it requires mods to make the game semi-enjoyable after your first play through.
@@Lewis-ec5snI believe that they have chosen a path which includes making the game’s systems stupidier in order to make it playable for consoles. I am not a supporter for that idea of course, but it seems to me that this was what they intented. Not having the core mechanics even its predecessor has, can not be answered using any other explanation than this.
Its almost harvesting season.
@@Lewis-ec5sn I agree it is a downgrade and nowhere on the level of warband. However, to me the game is still the best game in the list in this video.
@@owwh2976 I will drink from your skull!
Middle-earth: Shadow of War 2017 is definitely one of the most underated single player games, it is one of my favourites for sure, if you want a long immersive game and haven't heard of it I definitely recommend trying it you will definitely won't regret it
Kingdom Come Deliverance is so underrated. Glad that is on this list.
Inquisition was first Xbox one game I played and I loved it. It’s the companions that make the game.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey took me about 80 hours to beat on my first playthrough. The dlcs took me about 60 hours. Finished the whole thing again within 110 hours on my 2nd run. Even then, there is so much to do in Odyssey. Plus, the map is beautiful. It's very long, with most of it consiting of the ocean. Even in land, it's so much to explore.
That game is highly underrated 😭 I don't know why the community bashes on it. But really it's a masterpiece. Especially if you like Greek Mythology. In my opinion it could be the best written AC game...but that's just my opinion...I know people will say Black Flag or AC 2
Great game easily spent over 100 hours.
@KStyles101 I personally don't like comparing the open world to the more linear open world generations of AC. Linear its AC2 (or just ezios story line) and open world is Odyssey. Odyssey is better than orgins and Valhalla.
Black Flag is the best pirate game ever
🗑️
I'm currently 140 hours in and no end in sight with Odyssey. I'm an old (retired) fella and I'm certainly not doing anything logically or in a sensible order. I can imagine being 300 hours in from sailing instead of fast travelling. I think this and Origins are fantastic games. I've not played Valhalla but I will, despite the grim warnings.
I've spent over 1400 hours into Grim Dawn, it quickly became my favorite ARPG ever and I'm just getting started. So many builds, 7 acts, so many bosses, so much hidden stuff in ultimate difficulty. Truly a 10/10 experience
Grim Dawn is absolutely amazing. I really hope they end up making a sequel sometime
Only played a little of Grim Dawn, but 1000 hours in Titan Quest. I like the setting better. Still more I could do.
I thought I had a lot of time into Grim Dawn with ~800 hours. 1400 is impressive.
Had 2900 in path of exile, then discovered grim dawn and got up to 1600, but havent played after ashes of malmoth. I played with some mods and had an immortal pet build, that still couldnt beat mogdrogen, i couldnt die but neither could he lol. Awesome game.
I've spent 2600 hours in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. At least a dozen playthroughs. Easily one of the most immersive games ever made, with the environment being based on real life locations, and the number of ways you can do any of the quests given is amazing.
One thing that drives new people away is the combat system. It's a not "spam the attack button" system; it's based on real medieval combat forms (if you've ever learned any sort of fencing, you'll immediately recognize the five-point system), and your character isn't the magical Witcher or some all-powerful lordling or any such nonsense: at the beginning, he's a lowly peasant, a wastrel, a pathetic hard-partying lay-about with no skills whatsoever who has to learn everything as he goes along. And gets his ass kicked a lot.
Are there good secondary missions and NPC interactions in this game? Or the main thing is just the main story? (kinda looking for the first option rn)
@@GabrielS111 The game is all about the side quests. The side quests and DLC really flesh the game out, and also get you to see more of the countryside. And a lot of times, it feels like the map itself is really the main character of the game!
My first play-through, I thought the side-quests weren't important (and the game tries to sell you on the urgency of the main quest, but there are really only a few quests that are time-sensitive), but about 1/3 of the way in you get to a boss, and if you haven't spent time building your character's stats (he starts off as a peasant with literally zero skills, I mean in the beginning you literally go crying to your mother after a guy beats the shit out of you) this boss will be a struggle to get past.
And a lot of the side quests are quite fun. They probably could have spent more time making the NPCs have more to say (in a couple of the DLCs, they did better) but it's not bad. And this is a first-effort from a start-up game company, and crowdfunded at that, so it's quite impressive.
@@UnclePengy wow I thought there was a solid big company behind it, really impressive.
I'm gonna buy it cause it is definitely the type of game Ive been wanting to play, thanks bro
@@UnclePengy Wow, interesting! Is there anything to do in the game after finishing the main story? Like roaming around in the world and attacking bandits etc, or does it "end" once the story is done?
@@LM43243 You can still roam around and increase your skills while at it. Back when I first played it, i tried to level up my archery because oh boy if people thinks melee fighting is difficult have never tried archery lmao. And ofc much like RDR 2 and Witcher 3 you can waste hours playing the mini game called farkle. Truly an amazing game
#11 Mass Effect trilogy. I really have strong bias for ME3, because before it came out my dad died in 2010, and when this game came out it was at the right time for me and it helped me go through rough time because of my dad dying. One of the main themes constantly repeated in ME3 is HOPE and going against all odds. You will hear this from Shepard, Garrus, Anderson, Javik, Vega, heck even Joker and EDI. Also going back at it, 3rd game is actually helluva lot better written and structured then ME2. ME2 had cool side ("loyalty") missions, but when you take it out, main story is very flat and somewhat weak, alto at the time this game was such huge technical improvement over first game.
I just bought the Mass effect legendary edition the other day! Never got to play those games except for I played maybe an hour of Mass effect 2 back on my Xbox 360 when I was a kid but now I have the whole trilogy I'm going to get to play soon🙂
Mass effect was repetitive although the storyline was good
ME3 multi-player was underrated too
@@BaldKiwi117 to to those who played it :)
Mass Effect original trilogy is a must for me, I do not know how much time I spent completing these games, but it sure was a good chunk of my life hahaha
Nice to see Kingdom Come Deliverance again here.
One of my all time favorite games!
I agree, I also hope we get a KCD 2 sometime in the future.
I would like to see series of videos about single player games broken down by genre. This video was basically RPGs, but how about city builders, sci-fi, western, etc. Could make for some interesting research.
Yay! I love Zelda TotK. Spent so many hours on it, & its so much fun.
The Mount & Blade series is by far the most underrated series of all time.
it's highly rated on every metric. try another hyperbole.
@@MFWb00bi3s I've never heard of it until just now so I'm thinking op is right
Baldur's Gate 3 is truly insane when it comes down to the amount of things to do/discover and the many ways on how you can solve quests. I've played around 60 hours by now and I only just started Act III and I feel like the exploration has only just begun. There are só many things to do and I haven't even done everything in Acts I and II yet. I already have a few other characters lined up to start a new playthrough and go about things differently so this game is certainly going to take up a huge chunk of my free time 😄
Can't wait till it's out on PS5....gonna have a hard time going between Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield
I played this game for two weeks straight everyday and I'm still in act I. I'm taking my time with the side quests. This game is a blast.
sounds like a speed run, took me 50 to complete act1! up to 90 and still in act 2 and haven't even got to the tower yet. can't wait to play it again but i'm determined to finish 1 play through first.
Man I hope u guys are being super sarcastic lol. All the side quests take at most about 23hrs (yes I've done them and even saved the stupid girl from the swamp (spoiler free)
In the Underdark rn getting my face rammer by mobs
But I put 90 hours into DOS:2 in 1 week lol. Got stuck cuz my pc couldn't keep up with the final battle on Lohse story
Dragon Age Inquisition is an amazing game. I bought it in a sale a few Christmas’ ago with all of the DLC as part of the deal. I spent around 2 weeks playing it non stop!
An amazing game is something that after a decade you still play but when you first step into it's world, you drown yourself in it's characters, mechanics, story & music for months. An amazing game gets the fans begging for sequels Playing a game for two weeks just doesn't qualify or every game every games journalist has ever played would be an "amazing" game
Leading cavalry charges in Mount and Blade is pretty satisfying,
I can see myself putting hundreds of hours into Baldurs Gate 3. I'm 25 hours in and still in Act 1. I'll definitely replay it multiple times.
What a waste of life that would be partner.
@@terrorbellidecuspacis what about people who went fishing ? or mountain climbing or car enthusiast or non-profesional bowling, golfing, ice skating and thousand other hobbies ? Literally all we do is waste of life by your standard :D
@@pilushansamu7714 Well at least they are doing something instead of being just paying attention to something meaningless- there’s always lots of possibilities when you are doing something that is actually real, you can learn skills, you become more intelligent, not to mention your health. All these things have consequences in your life, good ones. You simply can’t compare any activities with living to play stupid games partner.
@@terrorbellidecuspacis well playing games is actually doing something and we can learn many thing. Is not like watching youtube videos. You calling that stupid maybe because you stupid enough and don't have the necessary skill to play it
80 hours in and I haven’t completed act 2
Just started Dragon's Dogma a few days ago and it's so satisfying and beautiful. Combat is unforgiving but the characters, art design, premise, and grindability are so addicting.
I definitely recommend the Gothic series for those who don't shy away from old (but modable) graphics in favor of great stories and compelling atmosphere.
Hearing someone talk about Bannerlord like its just isn't a battle simulator is still crazy.
Gotta mention Morrowind. I know it's hard to get into for a lot of people, because it's a little janky in the early game, but it's honestly one of the best stories ever told in a fantasy setting. Some people hate the lack of quest markers, but I love it, it really encourages exploration and discovery, and even now, with more than five thousand hours invested, I'm still discovering new stuff. It also has one of the most active modding communities out there - there's always a new mod to check out. Hell, I'M working on a mod for it. It's got an awesome story, memorable characters, an incredible world, great music, and is just a delight to immerse yourself in.
I strongly second this. If you find the combat and movement system lacking, run to Balmora and get urself the upgrade spell and then go craft urself a special spell. Soul trap plus upgrade skill. Distance 0. Magnitude 1. Start with luck. Makes it possible to actually do things like actually cast the spell or hit something when you swing.
I played Morrowind when I was around 8 years old and it was the most mind blowing thing
Still playing a fully modded copy with around 500 mods. I could play Morrowind till the end of time. I can literally find 200-300 great new mods every year to completely change it all for another run. You can do a mod pack now with all the modern UI features, interface, and upscaled graphics, and then add you own favorite mods on top.
I am for Oblivion. My sense of direction is too awful for Morrowind, so Let's plays FTW
Morrowind will hook you, it's incredible
I would 100% love to see more of these videos. I love long games.
I played all the borderlands games several times. Love them
Days gone has for sure it’s spot here not forgetting rdr2 and ghost of sushima
Currently working my way through Ghost of Tsushima for the second time on hard difficulty. That definitely deserves a spot on this list. Its like classic AC meets the Witcher 3 with way better combat and set in Japan, I mean what more do you want ⚔️
Great game, I don’t know if it’s 100 hours worth of content tho. But absolutely a great game.
man I still love that game so much
Same as you. I'm playing it again on hard except i didn't complete it first time but now I plan to.
Ghost Of Tsushima is only playable in Realistic, IMO. Hope you have fun on your second run through!!
My first platinum trophy was this beauty of a game. What a masterpiece.
The Mass Effect series and Fallout 3 are ones that stand out for me. Also, AC Odyssey.
Loved those games and sank hours into them.
Also, GTAV is still worth it for the single player alone.
I totally forgot about them...
Fallout 3&4 were incredible
Mass Effect Legendary edition is downloaded to be on of my next playthrough
Gta IV is 10000 times better than gta v plus has dlc stories too
@@mariovarela6292 I love both games to be honest. Niko was a great protagonist too.
@@rickydiamond441 yes he was! I enjoyed both as well but man gta 4 really did a great job making you feel the transition from broke nobody to stone cold rich killing machine
@rickydiamond441 I started with Fallout 4 and played through the main story with 3 different characters. I just picked up Fallout 3 & New Vegas...I'll be gaming forever...😅
ive never been more immersed in an open world first person game than i have in Kingdom Come. In my opinion Warhorse Studios is doing what Bethesda is supposed to be doing. It's just excellent.
Dragon's Dogma is an absolute MASTERPIECE !
KC:D was a sleeper hit for me. The immersion was in a class by itself. If this game looks good and you haven’t tried it, I don’t think you’d regret giving it a shot.
I'm currently playing Witcher 3 and have 78Hrs atm. I still haven't found Ciri because I'm busy doing Seconday Quests and I love it. The lore and storytelling is amazing. Some of them have subplots which is just cherry on top.
@@tiuschiu Please don't remind me that lol
I've got 151 hours in Witcher 3. That's with all the DLC played through. There are bound to be side quests I've not discovered. And I've definitely not explored every marker and point of interest on the maps.
I have 140, and haven't found Ciri
It's my 5th playthrough
I remember being surprised how few quests there were in Fallout 3 until I realised I actually spent most of the time wandering around and just finding places.
Absolutely love Witcher 3! I enjoy the single-player games so much.
Kingdom come: Deliverance is an amazing game. I got so hooked on it. It took me about 150 hours to beat it.
I go back to DA Inquisition over and over again. It was my first real RPG experience and I’m addicted to my choices mattering and influencing the world around me. ❤
I got Inquisition just to see what the fuss was about. I didn't realize after 50 hours in, I was drawn to the mechanics of an RPG and the beauty of a story it could bring and draw you in as it was of your choice making. Almost 200 hours in that game, I was glad I took a chance to it as it's a top ten game played for me.
@@Bo0mShakkaLakka Inquisition was terrible upon release and is still terrible to this day while comparing it to the dev's past works. Every single review that is positive of this game doesn't mention BioWare's legacy and it's painfully obvious as to why.
Middle Earth shadow of mordor. Truly underrated. I have so much fun and can't get enough of it. The game the graphics the controls everything's perfect.
Better Try Shadow of War !! hehe
@@aleem-eh2me i love shadow of war omggggg
@@user-jw7wq7bj3o ye hehe :)
battle brothers and kenshi are two of my most played single player games... highly recommend both
Glad they mentioned the borderlands series. Recently have been playing borderlands 3 again after beating the main campaign a couple years ago. Back then didn’t know how the mayhem system worked but now with some friends I’ve been doing things like playing through the dlcs, farming weapons at the highest mayhem level, and fighting raid bosses. One of those games that’s fun to play either by yourself or with others (even with the cheesy story). Didn’t expect to have over 100 hours in it but here we are 🤷🏾♂️
I put in over 100 hours playing Dying Light and the DLC The Following. I really liked the game and did practically everything that there was to do in the game.
Love Dying Light - must have about 100 hours or near on Steam... love the high risk but I remember somebody joined in coop and gave me some OP weapon which kind of ruined it at the time haha
God yes. It’s still so fun to this day. I’ve been doing a co-op run of it lately with a friend of mine and it’s just as fun as I remember.
I played The Witcher for about 300 hours and I’ve spent 200+ hours in Elden Ring and beat the game 4 times but I still haven’t seen everything 😅
I’m always finding out new weapons or talismans or an hidden passage or cave with new bosses or quests!
Definitely great list! Soooo happy to see KC:D and Divinity 2 get some love in a list still in 2023/24
Cult following games - Xenoblade Chronicles each game easily has 100 hours. It's maybe not for everyone compared to all these action combat games on the list but very good series (my favorite is 2nd)
GTA 5, rdr2 and Skyrim of course as well for the classics
