20 Single-Player Games You’ll Be OBSESSED With After the First Hour

[@customconcern1]

I quit drinking while playing hades and it was crazy fighting thru the underworld while fighting my own demons. It was such a great game.

[@panamike6178]

Such a great game, I highly recommend checking out the 2nd one, it ain't easy, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes a ton of fun.

[@DanielCastillo-i7t]

Im hoping you can keep on that route, stay sober bro!

[@mrnelsonius5631]

I quit 12 years ago, only wish I had sooner. It gets easier over time. Keep the faith friend 🙏

[@LowKeyDee1620]

Hopefully you stick to it. Heavy drinking destroys you slowly before u even realize it

[@customconcern1]

@ it’s been almost two years now

[@jakobbauz]

Fallen Order is just such a gem of a game. I first played it during the beginning of Covid and I basically remember everything. And recently I played it again on harder difficulty and it is still soooo good. One of my all time favorites, really.

[@randomhero1826]

I finished it today🎉. Loved it

[@NeeRock]

I am thinking of playing it again on New Game Plus

[@eminsahin8751]

Question. Even if you are not a big of star wars but are a fan of story and adventure. İs it still good then?

[@jakobbauz]

@@eminsahin8751 I would definitely say it is. It is a story driven adventure game with great (Souls-like) fighting mechanics. A lot of the time, you are walking alone through beautiful and creative landscapes, discovering mysteries and fighting the occasional enemy. You shouldn't have any trouble understanding everything without knowing the Star Wars lore; you'll miss some references that aren't important to the story, that's all.

[@lofijedi]

Time stamps, simple, great explanations, never overwhelming. You sir have got another subscriber.

[@kevin1873]

All of the Tomb Raider games are solid on PS4. Definitive Edition is probably one of my favorites but talk about a game that is full of action and puzzle solving it's just as good as Uncharted imo and I absolutely love the game play and story lines.

[@MattBooneUSA]

I loved the definitive edition too. Great game

[@circle2867]

the first was amazing. i dont know what happened but to me the other 2 were very meh

[@jordanjohnston6383]

​@circle2867 They took away the mature rating and made it a Teen rated game for the final 2 entries. They took away what made the first game so good and that was the mature setting in my opinion.

[@MillerTheOriginal]

The way you manage to give a great and easy to interpret overview of all 20 games is well done. As someone who now enjoys playing (and immersing) into single player games rather than online this is top notch. Easy sub 👍

[@thetrashcanman7537]

Some of these games like vampyr and outer world are those more underrated games not everyone knows are good!

[@scarfaceReaper]

🔥 true

[@nanach6276]

Oh, I am on the edge of buying Vampyr. its one of those games that looks awesome and then you hear alot of crap about it. I played Last of the lazarus last night and it was really nice, at least atmosphere ! So Yeah, Should I get Vampyr? Every time I feel like i hear enough negatives about it someone like you show up. So I never know

[@johannord4778]

How bout I give you a few, since our taste in games seem so similar: A Plague Tale: Requiem (even better than the first), Hi-Fi Rush, Lies of P, Pepper Grinder (short but worth it), Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, Have a Nice Death, Astro Bot, Rollerdrome, Balatro, The Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Dead Space Remake, RE4 remake, Pyre, Celeste, Nier: Automata, Pizza Tower, Mullet Madjack. I’m sorry if any or most feel obvious, I just didn’t want to miss anything. Also, sorry if this message is presumptuous, it’s not my intention. I just love every game on your list and have actually played all of them, some of them are my absolute favorites. Just wanted to return the favor, and just maybe one of the games I’ve recommended will end up on your list next year.

[@syedie7283]

Witcher 3 and CP2077 definetly the S tier of the list.

[@supacopper4790]

Some other games that i think worth mentioning are Metro Exodus, Dishonored 1 and 2, Nier: Automata and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

[@Michsomething]

Your list is very true for the games I've played on it. You also have sparked my interest with others on your list. Thanks!

[@adigunjo]

Gris was an Experience, thank you for the suggestion

[@andiferdhian9649]

Currently playing Homefront: The Revolution and it's actually pretty good, the gameplay, the enemy ai and it's semi open world. You guys should give the game a second chance.

[@garethlloyd4716]

Mass effect for me was obsessed with that game!

[@hridayevyas8906]

Dude the effort you put in to choose the words for each game, I hope you got paid!

[@Driftuner]

This might be an "obvious" one but, RDR2 surely deserves some severely high recommendations to anybody

[@lukemoralee968]

Loved RDR2 but took time to get hooked. The first hour is fairly slow.

[@giveusascream]

Absolutely phenomenal game!

[@calderarecords]

RDR2 is awful. Slow, dull, redundant mechanics, pretentious, & bloated.

[@Driftuner]

@@calderarecords although i agree with most of it, i still put it in the "greatest of all times" category. Simply because it is a game that was taken to its absolut limits. Yes the gameplay is ridiculously slow and things take forever to unfold, but once i understood that instead of playing a game i was interacting with a movie (which is pretty much what rdr2 is), the experience transformed for me. But thats the problem with rdr2, one needs to first understand the games purpose in order to enjoy it. If one goes at it with a "gta in the wild west" mindset, you will be highly dissapointed..

[@Ceractucus]

I am 54 and have been playing Video games since before the first Atari console. RDR2 is easily one of the 10 best games ever made. Other honorable mentions: Half-Life 1. Prince of Persia 2 (C64). Lode Runner and Rescue Raiders (Apple II). KOTOR 1. Uncharted 4. Fallout 2,4. Civilization 1,2, 5, 6.

[@roberto.duse.86]

Cyberpunk 2077 creates such a believable world that completing the game made me honestly sad for days. I missed the “friends” I made in Night City 😂

[@joet6434]

Solid list of engrossing games that will keep you gripped until the end.

[@florisbackx1744]

I love that you put Tomb Raider in the list, it really is a great oldschool adventure game. Even though many people shove it aside as a 'Uncharted wanna be' I dare to state that it is better, or at least more complete of a game. All the parts of the game like the puzzles, exploration, Set pieces and combat seems to flow more naturally to me. Uncharted, although it is great, feels more formulaic and gamefied with very obvious combat arena's and a bit to many unbelievable AAA set pieces. You can't move a minute without the forced tension of slipping of a cliff or cliche's like that.

[@Kakkasshh]

Uncharted is tomb raider wanna be. Atleast fro my perspective.

[@dakotatrue12]

Tomb Raider came out way before Uncharted.

[@Naitik_Behera]

[@davidjosephjohn8599]

I just found your channel. Long time gamer starting with Pong in 1972 and to hear your clear, concise and almost poetic descriptions of these games is a joy. Do you write these transcripts yourself? Because they are top notch and your delivery is impeccable. Good to find you.

I liked 4 of these, took me years to finish Witcher 3, Cyberpunk was ace though, one of few modern games i finished more than once

@@braydon-idk Nice, kind of the same for me. I played it on PS for 20 minuets since it was free one month through PS Plus, bought it again for Steam Deck for 10 bucks but haven't got around to actually playing it. If you want a really good game recommendation, I highly suggest checking out that one called Returnal, it looks jaw dropping and it's a fun time. That game really flew under the radar.

[@artislapsins5310]

Both Plague Tale games are soooo underrated, two of my favorite single player games. I wouldnt even know they exist if epic didnt give the 1st one for free

[@OzzyHamid-cl2fi]

Prey is one of the greatest games of all time

How is Red Dead Redemption 2 not on this list? One of the best single player games of all time

You should have included Requiem with Innocence. I played both of them back to back and I have to say it’s been a while since a game had such a profound and strong effect on me emotionally. A definite recommend for anyone who appreciates a powerful story combined with exceptional visuals.

I do not know if you magically figured out an objective way to define something as subjective as 'good games", or if a lot of us just have the same subjective taste. But I honestly agree with every single entry in the list. Can I think of a couple that could be there? Yes. But I literally cannot argue against any entry being there.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is ok. The magic when you first start out isn't really that much of a big deal. I found myself just using the fire spell through out the game. And the fact that i haven't found an outstanding epic sword, just gives boring vibes. This game focuses more on swords which gives me an anime vibe.
