Single player games are the best. I think 90% of games should be single player. But every once in a while there is a good multiplayer game but it’s rare imo.
Single player games used to be a great way to escape into a story, narrative, release, and entertainment without being dependent on others. Modern games with their overloaded multi-player features have forgotten what it means to play a game. Sure, the social aspect can be fun and engaging, but every once in a while, I just want to enjoy a game by myself without being dependent on others. These games all look really promising and I'm looking forward to seeing how good they end up.
I don’t like jumping between chapters more so when the content creator offers me the option because I like to immerse myself in the narrative that the creator has put so much time and effort to create and enjoy the journey through the content. Loved the list and the details about the games.
That Horse and Carriage falling out of the sky at 14:59, reminds me of cars falling off the broken highways in Fallout 4. The game also draws inspiration from Elder Scrolls and Fallout. A Dark figure appears before you and hands you a magnificent sword to be delivered. The dark figure speaks to you about where you need to deliver the sword and then says, "Here, I'll mark it on your map."
Without a doubt, Wyrdsong is our personal favorite among these five games. However, as we mentioned in a video, we will reserve our judgment until we see actual, longer gameplay footage and receive a list of features from the developers.
A Fatigue System? Yeah, the original release of Star Wars Galaxies had that. As you adventured, your HAM bar (Health, Agility, and Mental stats) would get a tiny bit of black creeping from the top end. It was depleting your maximum stats because of battle fatigue. The more you lost a stat in battle or used it to fuel abilities, the more little dings you took off your maximum. To recover it, you had to go to a cantina and listen to entertainers. Since they made entertain a PC class option, you could play one of those entertainers who helped others to recover from their travels in the danger zones. It was a decent idea for adding non-combat options to an MOO. In the beginning it worked but it because a real annoyance if there wasn't anyone playing an entertainer in the area where you were in need of some joy.
Currently playing through Elden Ring, and although it's an excellent game, I'm not really into it. I am in desperate need of a single player RPG experience like Skyrim, The Mass Effect series, Dragon Age series (Inquisition in particular), and Fallout 4.
Tainted Grail looks like someone made a monkey paw wish for a game "like Skyrim". It's looks near identical to Skyrim, right down to the decade old mechanics and combat
Nazralath looks sooooo cool. I prolly won't play it because I don't like games without full character customization. Zoria misses the point of playing a game. It isn't tedious invent6ory management, food worries, and item upkeep. /yawn Tainted Grail and Wyrdsong though... hullo new friends...
"Shape the world as you see fit like in Morrowind", uh, no, Morrowind was always a game about stories, you follow written quests and have premade dialogues, none of that "sandbox" crap.
The problem is that MP PVP games are easy to make. They don't take a lot of time or creativity. It takes a really talented, passionate, motivated dev or devs along with a company leadership that will allow their devs the freedom to make an interesting fun replayable SP game. Most devs are too lazy or not creative enough to succeed and most company leadership is just greedy bean counters.
That's... not a lot. Broken Roads look promising, like Fallout Australia - but the rest doesn't even look like RPG games. Diablo, FPS, and even a game we don't have clue about. So, not a lot to go on. Hope the new Jagged Alliance and Stalker game will fill the gaps.
Multiplayer games in general are much more superficial, if they do not also feature a good single player foundation. I have stopped engaging with multiplayer games, because they bore the hell out of me, and the interaction very often is very childish and unpleasant, especially in PvP shooters.
I hate the over use of crafting in single player games. What is the point, all it really does is distract from the game play and story, while making you waste time.
Exactly. Also, if the best items in the game are obtained through crafting, it can lead to a loss of interest in adventuring. If not, then why bother with crafting in the first place? Of course, there are more nuances than this, but still...
They can easily make some crafting make sense, like alchemy for potions, cooking for food and their buffs, and even gathering items for special events. But they completely over do it, wasting precious time for development and design. @@hqgamingnews
What´s the point of Tainted Grail to create a clone of Skyrim_? same combat, same leveling system, same GPS compass, all the things that TES are awful at immersive experience...
@@hqgamingnews fair enough, it's just an announcement really. Not trying to criticize you or your video - I just wish companies focused on gameplay first. I see these generic trailers and they tell me nothing 🙂 could be a card game for all I know.
If the game is good, I don't mind the first-person. But to be completely honest, a third-person is what I prefer usually. I love to see armor and weapons on my character.
@@hqgamingnews Fantasy RPGs thats the thing. But the ones in the video seemed... I dont know. Bland? Sort of like 1000th itteration of the same old story. Well I hope we get Final Fantasy XVI soon on PC.
They seem destined for failure right now. Nothing I see about them now impresses me too much, although I am a fan of rpg games. They seem to have a much too old graphics, they seem to borrow too many elements from other games, and the only things that could contradict such a diagnosis would be if they had some really original and surprising stories. I would like to be wrong, but I don’t have much hope.
I'm rather REALLY tired of isometric games, they make for the least immersive imo, although Diabloo 4 had some good cuts, the world feels too static and rigid.
14:10 ha someone played Oblivion lol. If you're gonna rip off of someone Oblivion is an amazong game to rip off. Sad thing is nothing can compare to a Bethesda game other than the real thing. Starfield 152 days left!!!!!!

I agree. But unfortunately, they do not pay as well.
Plus so many of the multiplayer communities are pure toxicity which is why I quit playing them over 10 years ago
Very few games need multiplayer.

Just warms my heart when I hear about modern developers drawing inspiration from the great Ultima RPGs of lore
"Players will use different types of beer, instead of potions, for buffs." - Well, I'm sold. Broken Roads is on my wishlist.
Looking forward to Broken Roads and Wyrdsong.
Zoria EA will be April 27th. it will be on Linux and Windows for PC.
Single player all day long. Multi only fps with friends
0:50 Broken Roads, set a century after a nuclear war in Western Australia. Looks a lot like the Northern territories of Australia present day hahaha.
Lol!
Nazralath sounds amazing. and Wyrdsong could get interesting too. ^^
Without a doubt, Wyrdsong is our personal favorite among these five games. However, as we mentioned in a video, we will reserve our judgment until we see actual, longer gameplay footage and receive a list of features from the developers.
Agree. I'll be keeping an ear out for both of these to see how they develop...I just hope they go with 3rd person perspective, not 1st person.
Nazralath is definitely played in third person. Unfortunately, we don't know yet about Wyrdsong.
🕒 Zoria: Age of Shattering will be released on October 5, 2023
Upcoming games: ruclips.net/p/PLNCrSV8VJg3zm5tZ7VODnu_BtXUX3QL72
Love your down to earth style of presentation, thanks for the input, looking forward to hear more about Wyrdsong.

Thanks for sharing this.
Like the look of Zoria - looks old school cool
Zoria's and its outposts reminds me of Suikoden, which is awesome :)
Thanks for the info Sir! Totally unaware of these titles, so much to look forward to!
Wow. These all look great. I'll keep an eye on them and check reviews - if good, I'll have to check them out! Thanks.
Currently playing through Elden Ring, and although it's an excellent game, I'm not really into it.
I am in desperate need of a single player RPG experience like Skyrim, The Mass Effect series, Dragon Age series (Inquisition in particular), and Fallout 4.
great video. you got my sub just from this one. you need way more followers for sure!
Thank you.
Broken Roads gives me flashbacks to the old Ultima games on Apple ][ back in the 1980s or the Wing Commander saga of the 1990s.
Thank you, now I have a few games to keep an eye on (other than Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield).
We need more rpg based on history such as kingdom come deliverance
Tainted Grail looks like someone made a monkey paw wish for a game "like Skyrim". It's looks near identical to Skyrim, right down to the decade old mechanics and combat
Or maybe it's just The Elder Scrolls game are basically the only first person action RPG fantasy games until now...?
Nazralath looks sooooo cool. I prolly won't play it because I don't like games without full character customization.
Zoria misses the point of playing a game. It isn't tedious invent6ory management, food worries, and item upkeep. /yawn
Tainted Grail and Wyrdsong though... hullo new friends...
Love single-player games. In most if not all games I choose single-player. I'm Xbox
Avalon looks very interesting.
Good list. They all look interesting. The Tainted Grail graphics looked a bit too muted but maybe what was shown was not representative.
Thank you very much.
And Tainted Grail looks the same even in Early Access, so that's probably what we'll get in the final product.
great video very informative i have subscribed keep up the great work some very interesting games hopefully coming our way
Thank you for your support. It means a lot. ❤️
Multilayer: a game mode designed to rob you blind.
Nice channel logo.
"Shape the world as you see fit like in Morrowind", uh, no, Morrowind was always a game about stories, you follow written quests and have premade dialogues, none of that "sandbox" crap.
So far Zoria, and Tainted grail seem the most interesting. As for Wyrdsong, it's too early to say...
Zoria: Age of Shattering reminds me of Ultima!
I haven't played Pillars of Eternity for a while but it seems as though Zoria's base / outpost concept is very similar.
However, some games have a better feeling with split personalities like Star Wars Squadrons. Where you play as both good & bad
@hqgamingnews , from 0:39, what game/s is the three following shots from? Starting with the female with the staff
The only question I have for Tainted Grail....
Will there be Calipers?
Woah Zoria looks interesting.
Kamelot, sigh so edgy using a k instead of a c.

13:46 MERLIN!? MERLIN!? Amateurs. I think you mean Tim the Enchanter!
I hadn't heard of Wyrdsong, but I'll add it to the list of games I'm waiting for. A far too long list.
Single player games are what so many love, yet so ignored
So true!
I’ve just had too many bad experiences with cheaters ruining games that cost money. If it doesn’t support SP, I don’t buy it.
1000% agreed on this. Fed up to the back teeth of them. Bring on SP games.
Zoria, Dungeon Siege 2 ft Pathfinder
Skyrim also was 3rd person
Indeed, but playing stealth archer was better experienced in first person. 😄
These early access games mean nothing to me. Not gonna see release for years.
nazaric fon in anime world ?
overlord ?
Developers like multiplayer because of all the extra money over the price of the game itself from microtransactions and pay to win.
I'm not a fan of isometric viewpoint, it feels like going back in time prior to 3D gaming
That's... not a lot. Broken Roads look promising, like Fallout Australia - but the rest doesn't even look like RPG games. Diablo, FPS, and even a game we don't have clue about. So, not a lot to go on.
Hope the new Jagged Alliance and Stalker game will fill the gaps.

At 0:39 , what game is that from?
Anyone?
Divinity Original Sin 2: ruclips.net/video/jXiT9Shrw5k/видео.html
I see medieval armor, I think souls-like, I say bye bye. Can we please have something that ISN'T souls-like for a change?
Are you referring to Nazralath? Because that's not a Souls-like.

Isometric view is something I no longer enjoy. The last game did not show any gameplay. It looks like all talk and now show at this point...
The last game (Wyrdsong) is still in early development and there is no gameplay video... yet.
@@hqgamingnews fair enough, it's just an announcement really.
Not trying to criticize you or your video - I just wish companies focused on gameplay first. I see these generic trailers and they tell me nothing 🙂 could be a card game for all I know.
Few games here I won't go near. The top down look just don't do anything for me.
Would be nice to see something totally original for a change.
Absolutely!
If Wyrdsong is first person I will not be playing it.
If the game is good, I don't mind the first-person. But to be completely honest, a third-person is what I prefer usually. I love to see armor and weapons on my character.
@@peakresolve I just cannot play first person games because they make me get dizzy, sweat and feel nauseous.
lol you dont find action experiences in souls games anyways.
To be honest none of the featured games seems interesting to me as sad as it is to say.
That is perfectly fine. 👍 What kind of games do you like?
@@hqgamingnews Fantasy RPGs thats the thing. But the ones in the video seemed... I dont know. Bland? Sort of like 1000th itteration of the same old story. Well I hope we get Final Fantasy XVI soon on PC.
A list of upcoming single player RPGs......and Final Fantasy XVI is nowhere to be found???
As stated in the title, these are five brand new IPs, games that aren't sequels, remakes or remasters.
They seem destined for failure right now. Nothing I see about them now impresses me too much, although I am a fan of rpg games.
