10 Single Player Games Worth Spending 100+ Hours

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

[@noahevans4510]

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 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.

[@SerathDarklands]

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.

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.

[@timmurray2945]

For all the criticism the ending got. I doubt we will ever get a trilogy like it again whereby your choices carry across into the next game. A great cast of companions that you can build relationships with over multiple games. You can miss out on entire quest lines entirely either by accident, or by your own decisions. You can lose beloved characters through a miscalculation and ultimately you feel responsible. I will always love the ME trilogy for these reasons.

#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.

While the main quest can be easily done in a few hours, grinding for better gears and leveling up really takes a long while, and it doesn't get boring too fast, 'cuz duh. Parkour and zombie head bashing goes extremely well together. Sometimes, I even surprise myself about new areas that I haven't explored since I'm way too preoccupied at just going from point A to point B and that exploring Harran just feels... Well, refreshing, to say the least. There's also the multiplayer mode, once you get too bored doing things alone.

[@jayharper381]

Shame about the second one though

[@nickfrank4936]

yeah i cant believe i clocked i think 91 hours into the base game. havent completed the dlc yet.

[@outlawgt3045]

I bought this recently. Dying Light The Following Edition. I can't get passed the first night time mission and I'm on easy mode. Those night zombies get me every time.

[@tahakathiria1334]

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.

Kingdoms of amalur should be on this list! One of the best games ever!

[@M.SEK.P]

Yes, love the game

[@KevKillinit]

Dragons Dogma is an incredible game. Tons of hours played. The boss battles are so intense and super thrilling. I completed the game 3 times!

[@succatash]

Can't wait for 2.

[@nullcypher]

i tried to get into this game twice, but i couldn't. i really don't like this game.

[@colosine]

​@@nullcypherI only got i to it because of my situation where the only thing we owned was a tv, 360 and a copy, took me a while to really get into it, after a week or two the game finally clicked, it is a slog but once it clicks the game is phenomenal, definitely has some major flaws and feels more like a concept than a complete game but that click really made me fall in love if you have the patience I'd highly encourage you to get into it, I still go back every few months to continue my progress

[@purepwnagePT]

@@nullcypher It's a very overrated game. If you want tactical depth and high quality writing you've got stuff like Dragon Age Origins, if you want good action combat you got any souls game.

[@mukundchavan1714]

Plus the bitter black isle is so cool

[@believeinmatter]

This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I’d say AC: Valhalla. That game is not a great “assassin’s creed” game, but it’s a fantastic “Viking role play” game. The combat is amazing, and if you put 100 hours in, it only gets more and more deep.

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

Black Flag is another one that still holds up to this day. Wish it would get a Remaster with next gen graphics. Very solid pirate gameplay and I could easily spend hours sailing the seas, raiding ships, and searching every last nook and cranny of the map while my crew sings shanties.

[@strungoutboy86]

I enjoyed it. Spent 250 hours on it but all the raids & collectibles are a grind after a while. Haven't even tried Niflheim yet

[@RicardoGonzalez-fb9li]

I was thinking about AC Valhalla. Glad somebody else finds it entertaining and worth exploring to the point of obsession!

[@matmarch7521]

Hated Valhalla, the combat was a huge downside to me. Love Viking era, just felt too arcade.

[@tituikabussaa]

​@@bloodwolfgaming9269i've got a news for you buddy. Black flag remake is in development.

I have nearly 900 hours in bannerlord, time just flies playing that game. Its so fun, and I didnt realize I spent that much time in it. Its crazy.

[@thojjer3155]

yeah same

[@dan180y7]

medieval dynasty is a great game, its not story driven its all about building up your medieval town from nothing and the combat is decent too but it is all about building up your city, collecting villagers, gathering resources and crafting. really good setting and atmosphere to it

[@albinokanickel4492]

Its really good, but once i was Out i didnt find in again. I kinda established a work feeling in it.

[@buzzcomber]

Was going to say this. Really enjoying the game and have put in a number of hours just relaxing while maintaining my town.

[@jamesmerida6717]

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.

[@irecordwithaphone1856]

You should try Shadow of the Colossus, it's pretty much entirely dedicated to climbing monsters. I'm also playing dragons dogma right now

[@yosz9746]

@@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

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is SO good. I am very happy to see y'all put it right before The Witcher 3. KCD deserves a spot on this list, especially considering the budget and effort involved in making this game. An absolute masterpiece imo.

[@hardcorenacho1020]

One thing to note: Play one of these games as a blind playthrough. Going through a game not knowing anything really brings back that fun of having to learn something on your own or not knowing where the story is going

[@Elote20]

Personally I loved Dragon Age Origins. The characters were much more memorable imo: Alistair, Isabela, Zevran, Leliana, your character The Warden, and of course Morrigan! 🥵

DAI takes it for me over DAO, though it's close. I prefer the companions in DAI. I'll never understand the love people have for Morrigan.
