In this era where everything seems to be multiplayer oriented, I'm glad you guys keep covering single player games with so much passion.
Honestly I find single player games so much more fun than multiplayer so I’m happy when people make lists like these
I agree. I have zero interest in multiplayer games, as someone with a busy fulltime job and three kids, it just isn’t a good fit.
Elden ring, RE4 remake, Last of Us part 1
Yeah and I don’t even mind multiplayer games, but I don’t like how games these days are made for hardcore grinders. In every MP game you have to climb up the ranks. You have to watch tutorials to learn which button to press in which second, how to exploit glitches to be the best and other stupid sh*t.
I loved for example the good old CS 1.6, where teams would just rush on each other and who aims better, wins. CSGO on the other hand? Time your every step. Throw flash at this exact second from this exact place aim at this exact point and jumpthrow, then move here and cover this place. Like it’s not completely boring, but it loses some of the essence of fun.
Single player games are so liberating. I can figure everything out on my own. I can beat them even in ways I shouldn’t. Nobody calls me noob for not playing them in accordance to the tutorials. They’re just games and that’s what I love.
love
Mad Max is truly a gem. Really underrated and still feels unique.
one game that is also a gem is Vampyr , a good game.
buying mad max was one of my best purchase to date!!! ngl... I found out a bit late
It’s so repetitive though
@@hazimreitz I picked it up onna hunch from Walmart when it was like 10 or 20 bucks on clearance. Absolutely loved it.
mad max lacked deep story and character development but gameplay and scenery was awesome
#7 Mad Max!!! Love this game so much. I bought this game one night because it was $3.99. Figured what’s the worst that could happen. I went on to dump about 85 hours into the game! The combat is fun, the world is amazing, the graphics are great and I love all the different villain characters. This will always be one of my favorite games that I just happened to stumble upon.
Sick game. Love Mad Max.
I was bored, then watch some youtube recommendation, bought madmax for dirt cheap, and feel in love with it. I bought for PS and recently build my PC, this game was one of the first thing I bought again, just to show the developers that I admire this game! even sicker graphic on PC lovin it! I really wish this game had sequel :(
this and days gone, underrated as hellllllll
gotta love when you find those hidden gems
I played COJ: Gunslinger years ago and it is definitely one of the most fun FPS games I ever played and the story is presented in such a charming way.
One of my all-time favorite single player games is The Saboteur. Set in Nazi occupied Paris, with the goal of liberating it with a growing French resistance. Was definitely a fun sandbox type game
Ah yes the bobs on console game. I remember it well.
ah yes, the black and white, at times colourful racing bobs game.
Absolutely amazing game, good shout
One of truly best game ever played would be awsome if they could do a remake
agreed, have you played Singularity? a similar and equally excellent game IMO.....
Call of Juarez is one of my top favorite games of all times. Progressing through the difficulty settings was super satisfying. It really made you feel like a man on a mission. Plus the artsy graphics style makes it look almost timeless.
I also love the fact that the game you play is actually a story narrated by an old drunken protagonist, who tends to be less than reliable. THis leads to him correcting his story as it goes, changing the number of ennemies, the level layout or the time of day as you play. This was amazing in and of itself
The only call of Juarez I played is gunslinger and it's still downloaded on my ps3
fun gameplay poor story
2024-
Call of Juarez: Titan
Set in a futuristic wild west on the distant moon colony of Titan, you will basically do the same thing as all the other things but with a sci fi twist. No monsters, just bad guys who do bad guy stuff on a new world.
Is it as good as Red Dead 2? Which would you play if you only had time for one?
Alpha Protocol is a rare case of actually being a forgotten gem. It is rough in some aspects, and nowdays pretty dated, but the reactivity to your choices, conversation style and background story is still a stand out example of how it can work. My favorite example being that an important antagonist, who will run away when you confront him, can actually be fought if you act like an arrogant prick to him in all previous interactions. It was also very psychological and everything you did felt meaningful, especially when talking to people. A true gem.
I looooved it! Everytime I tell people about it they at first don't believe me. It's 100% a forgotten gem but yeah it's roughon the edges but it was a memorable journey.
Only forgotten by those who haven't played it I would suggest. I haven't played it but have seen it mentioned on so many videos and I've watched quite a few long plays/in depth reviews of it. There are just so many games to get through particularly of that era that I have yet to get around too including this one. It is dirt cheap too as it is often overlooked. Overlooked is the word I would choose over forgotten when it comes to describing Alpha-Protocol.
As much as I enjoyed Alpha Protocol, it was also another case of Obsidian going into a game with guns blazing and not really finishing the job. It's been a while so I don't remember all the parts where content just seemed to be missing but I very much remember it being almost as much of a mess as Skyrim.
@@Stranglehold138Obsidian didn't make Skyrim, I don' think they made any Elder Scrolls, just Fallout NV
@bearpoop720 I know but Skyrim is the epitome of buggy AAA software. Even after 10 years of its existence people still found new bugs. It's a comparison of bugginess, not of Obsidian products. In that regard It's probably KOTOR 2 levels of buggy and Tyranny levels of unfinished.
Black Mesa is a must to play game even for Half Life veterans who completed game many times. Adding incredible musics to appropriate places and remaking some of the art (especially in Xen) was reaaly good choice for the developers.
The uplift of Xen was amazing and well worth the wait.
I love the raw footage you show for each game definitely gives a better insight to what it’s like
I love the fact this channel shows as much love to the big AAA titles as it does to the smaller ones. I have actually tried some games outside of my wheel house thanks to this channel highlighting them; and am all the happier for it.
Double A games where a staple of the 00s they are really cool and use to fill the gaps between releases of AAAs. before they started just releasing unfinished messes every month and patching it later
Alpha protocol was actually one of my favorite games. Got it because I was super into the Mass Effect seris, and it was somewhat close to the first game
It was amazing. I Played It so often, again and again. On Xbox 360 and PC
I think characterizing it as a third person shooter isn't fair either given you could play it much closer to Splinter Cell. My run was a stealth run so I didn't have a ton of survivability for straight up combat, but it was hella fun for sneaking around. Only the last boss kind of sucked
Both Binary Domain and Vanquish are criminally underrated. Binary Domain was one of the first games to take companion relationship meters and really roll with them.
And can we not forget the multiple ending in Binary Domain based off your affinity to your party members? And you can switch up your squad too. Vanquish was really underrated too. Fast paced and high action scenes.
@silver5051 I always made sure to get a max bond with Bo so I didn't have to fight him. He's just such a likable companion that I couldn't bring myself to lower his affinity meter.
Binary domain is criminally bad and vanquish is just boring and unoriginal
@@tekken.universal2343 Come back after you delete the gacha videos from your channel.
@@seikopath no
The WORST single player game is Life. They need to do something about those TERRIBLE NPCs.
Well we at least need some sort of a restart button so when we make some absolutely insane decisions that backfire, we cant just press restart.
@@k29king1 I'd be cool with an update to how the npcs drive, it feels like they stole the engine from gta 5 and that game is like 10 years old
We need an update and some patch.
Where are the mod bros when you need them
You mean the fodder?
more lists like this, please! I love to see lesser known games highlighted. Some other channels talk about the same 20 games over and over and they get very boring.
I know it will be harder to do, but, wow...yeah!
Cuz most the unknown games are unknown for a good reason, cuz they suck.
But IMO, my fav game that isn't as well known is Returnal. Returnal is insanely underrated IMO. Also Chained Echoes, but that game is getting more well know cuz it's amazing.
@@A-Dubs398 Not all "unknown" games suck, then.
Returnal is really good - it's on my wishlist (to boost the developers) even though my brain doesn't work in a way that lets me do it. Chained Echoes is like that girl you met decades ago - not that nice a person, but you still wonder how they are doing. It's a fantastic game, to my mind because - although it's not flashy, it really, really makes you think.
Another problem I have is that, being sixty-something-and-change, games I played in the 80s and 90s are just not on anybody's radar anymore. The original 3D Battle Chess, or Elite: Frontier. Or my favourite... "Hunt the Mugwump"!
@@michaelmacdonell4834 I'm not saying all unknown games suck, just most.
+
This War of Mine really intrigued me and it turns out I already have it downloaded so big ups to y'all for inspiring me to play it and myself for already having apparently downloaded it in the past 😂
Mad Max is one of my favourite games and I stumbled on it by chance. It's really a gem and so many people dont know about it.
One if the best games ever. Best car combat I've ever played.
Yeah, I find it weird as hell. It's a fantastic game, should have had more, but the one is good and doesn't really need a sequel, would totally buy it though
It's a great game, I had it stored on my ps4 for about a year before I ended up playing it, and wow.. (I should've played it sooner)
It's a really great, enjoyable game.
It costs virtually nothing to buy from the PS store too.
I love it
@@wavemotiongun12 no Its shitty Its very obviously made by avalanche just like just cause 3 and they don't know what optimization is
Binary Domain was such a satisfying shooter. The hook at release was that as you shot the robots pieces would fall off, so there was that feeling of gradual destruction that felt new at the time.
it was my first shooter game
Why no one talks about the voice command in this video game? I had a lot of fun yelling at the tv!
I absolutely LOVED this game! SEGA rarely disappoints.
Loved the bosses too, robot animals.
Maybe, but it was still janky as hell. Just look at the run animation 🤣🤣🤣
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
I own and LOVE Alice Madness Returns. I can't even remember how many times I've played it over the years. Definitely one of my top 5 favourite games and it is very sad that we won't be getting another installment.
They've been working on an Alice sequel for years.
Hope it gets a release eventually
@@JishinimaTidehoshi it won't be, they tried pitching it to the higher ups once they had everything ready to be presented before go ahead and the company said no and so they won't be doing the sequel at all now. Feel free to look it up.
Mad max had the most satisfying hand-to-hand and vehicular combat I have experienced in games yet. The game had so many unique mechanics that were never seen before.
I've given it a couple tries and see how it has a huge cult following. I want to like it, and I really should, it's exactly the kind of game I should love. I don't know why it doesn't connect with me
@@stephengrigg5988 I finished it back in the day and while it definitely has it's moments it is also very repetitive. That's something of a trademark of the developer Avalanche - they make sandboxes where you're supposed to entertain yourself.
@@rgb1996 I thought the combat was too clunky and slow, and that the characters were pretty unremarkable for such a perfect setting to run wild with. I loved how the cars drove and they had a great weight and destructible feel to them. But you're right, it was repetitive, and the massive bland world didn't help break up the monotony
I love it!
it's the copy of Batman Arkham games
Starting off with Alice: Madness Returns, instantly gets a thumbs up from me. Sure the game has its imperfections, but it is a ton of fun. Especially if you like darker takes on classic stories.
Yeah, these American McGee Alice games have a soft spot for me. I think the first one is literally the quake 3 engine.
@@SixOThreema’am😅awxj😊xu😅 whj m’😊ł😊p❤p
I love all the symbolism in alice and the level design
@@alexterieur8813yeah and definitely Mario odyssey copied the walking along a path that you can only see if you used a certain skill trick
Deadpool! I love that game. Got it digitally on my PS3 I still play it from time to time. I love the scene where you keep slapping Wolverine. 😂
As Dusk Falls is the best game I've played with my XBox Game Pass. It took a moment to get used to the art style, but once I did, I was hooked. Plus things changing so much depending on seemingly random story choices was fun. What to do with one character's father influencing how they react with a gun later was super cool (I played it through twice because it was so good, and had such wildly different endings)
Call of Juarez is such an underrated franchise. Hope the franchise can return someday. Great vid👍.
Edit: I want to see a binary domain sequel as well.
I love that game
Yup, its a very cool FPS game !
This one is great, but the last one they mad does not have the same charm to it 😔
I still love the original with the parallel game of cat and mouse between Billy and reverend Ray
The games where buggy as heck if I remember correctly. Played the two first on PC ages ago and even if they where fun, there where some really game breaking bugs.
I loved the Deadpool shoutout. I think that game was so great. I laughed so hard while playing that game that I had to put the controller down several times to compose myself. That game really understood Deadpool more than anything else I’ve seen in media.
It's unfortunate that it is so difficult to find a way to play it.
Is there any way I can play it?
@@Jelly1525 An Xbox 360 and a hard copy of the game is about the only way I know of.
I've been raving about Gunslinger to my friends for ages but they weren't interested, shame because it absolutely bangs. Thanks for bringing people awareness to it!
Alice was SO GOOD. Still have it installed on Steam because I love to go back and play it again from time to time. Gory, unique, and just fun all around.
I would LOVE to see Enslaved: Odyssey to the West included on one of these lists. Such a gorgeous post-apocalyptic world created by Ninja Theory, then you get to add in Andy Serkis as the voice of Monkey and his Mo-cap. What turns into a game long Escort Mission, much like Elizabeth in Bioshock Infintie, becomes a heartfelt, enjoyable third person platforming, meleeing, sometimes shooter through the greenest post-apocalyptic world I’ve had the pleasure of playing in. TLDR; talk about Enslaved a little please.
It was the first game that popped into my head when I saw the video. Shame Ninja Theory never got to give it a sequel that it deserved.
@@gazt81 Even the CEO, or someone else high up, mentioned they should be making a sequel a few years ago but it just didn’t sell well enough. The Pigsy DLC is pretty fun if you haven’t tried it. Obviously he plays much different than monkey, but was a lot of fun too.
That was a good game, but kinda got repetitive and boring as it went on. Still finished it, but it felt like a chore by the end.
@@michaelsealey6994 if only Microsoft didn't buy them, we would have gotten it
now, they're gonna be yet another studio being unused by Microsoft, or worse have them forced into doing some crappy trend chasing game nobody cares and ruin its reputation as a once great studio
Missed that one and missed XIII a lot. Two highly underrated games.
I still remember when I played call of juarez gunslinger years ago, it was such an amazing fun game, they captured the western style amazingly and I am still disappointed that there is no sequel
I just got done playing the first Call of Juarez. Normally, I don't like the older games FPS games as they seem too primitive now. But I really liked it and and going to play the second one next.
@@Jeremy-ql1or that's good man, they are pretty fun games but still s bit underrated
Do you know where to get that game I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find it
Alice Madness Returns was such a blast, and the fact that you could unlock the previous entry and play through that game, too, made this game amazing. It was such a blast
sorry, do you mean that the sequel includes the first game? looking forward to playing both, thanks!
@@agushacevoces yes. I forgot how you can get it. I think you have to beat the game, but you can play through the first somehow through the sequel
Shame the ending just sucked all the energy out of it.
@@YourPalHDee it was a bit of a weird ending, for sure. I'll give you that
@@justondement4458you didn't have to do anything. Physical copies came with a digital code for the original game.
This war of mine is very tricky and a fav to this day. At first you likely won’t survive, but once you learn from mistakes. You’ll likely survive 45-50+ day’s until the war is over. Too do it again under more intense scenario’s
This War of Mine is somberly exquisite. A huge dose of reality that smacks you in the face with grief but somehow manages to instill hope. The fact that you're actually buying a game that helps fund relief for war victims IRL is the cherry on top. Curling up with this game during a cold winter is especially pleasing. Worth every penny at full price.
I pirated it because I'm from south sudan
fr it's even available on android.
Mad Max is probably one of the most enjoyable game experiences I've had. And Alpha Protocol was so fun! Feels like it got completely forgotten about
Not really tho
I loved Alpha Protocol! Kind of a ridiculous game but what a shame that there was never a sequel..
I just beat MadMax again for the third times since it was released. They did such a great job on the game and it is a sleeper among alot of more casual gamers. I showed a few of my friends the game and they loved it. I haven't met anyone who has played it and said they hated it. Every few years I fire it up, and it doesn't take long to get hooked on it again.
As a KORTOR fan I bought AP when it came out. I liked it, but it becomes unplayable if you don't do it right. I lost interest after I just couldn't progress anymore and it became a headache.
And I tried MM, the combat was just too clunky for me. I need to try it again,as I know so many people love it. I want to as well.
@Dan Bardos the combat in Madmax is all about timing your button presses. You can't hit the attack button over and over it's slower and more powerful hits. Also with the counter attacks you can fight ten guys at once and not even be hit. It's worth a shot again just take the combat slow. Max is a power puncher, especially in rage mode.
Alice Madness Returns was an incredible game. I got it the day it came out because it looked so cool. Freaking loved it.
Yes sir :-)
Preordered it when it was released had the 1st one as a kid and loved Alice in other lands American mcgee gave the Alice genre an absolute nightmarish but amazing story that should be finished!
Mad Max truly is an underrated gem. I've played dozens of open-world games and it's easily in my Top 10. Loved the hand-to-hand combat, destroying things felt incredibly satisfying, and the car upgrades really kept things fresh. Not to mention that it is a ton of fun to 100%
Echo was SO GOOD. Trying to figure out how to progress through a sequence without doing too many certain actions made the puzzles that much more fun and challenging
Love This War of Mine (TWOM)!!! Great choice. Lots of replayability. Lots of variation. 1200 hours later, I still love this game!
I have it but didn’t get very far. Maybe I’ll reinstall
I hope you enjoy it!! It took me a bit to get going. But, it was worth it.
I couldn't get fully into it. Played about 10 hours. It is still, objectively, a great game.
Would love love love to see a part 2 to this. Need to know about more awesome singleplayer games I missed.
I heard good stuff about Singularity
Control is a surprisingly good game
Loved the addition of footage for each game! More of this please!
Mad Max is a must play. I've played this 4 times now and thinking about going for a 5th because of this video. Great game all round.
Oh man I loved As Dusk Falls. Such a gem with an absolutely wild story and even wilder branches off the main narrative
Yeah looks pretty unique with the static images that slightly change with sounds but it’s always fun having the freedom of choice in games
I love interactive storytelling games and had no idea it existed. I'm on PS5 and apparently the game is getting a port in March 2024 so I'm definitely gonna be on the lookout for it.
I still can't get enough of the smoothness and the funness of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
Ah, Binary Domain. Great memories and what a masterpiece.
Madmax..
Those thunderstorms were terrifyingly atmospheric and frightening, and somehow beautiful too...
You never forget your first mad max 'Sandnado'..
Alpha Protocol was a gem for me, it made me so mad as a kid and my parents threatened to sell it so I buckled up and figured I’d tough it out and found it to an amazing RPG with amazing choices that effected quite a lot
TURN UP THE RADIO 📻 TURN IT UP I NEED THE MUSIC 🎶🎵 GOTTA GIVE ME SOME MORE!
It's gone from steam, sadly
Absolutely LOVED this game. Played the full campaign at least a half dozen times.
I remember playing it and getting very annoyed at having to unlock the ability to have head shots do one hit kills. It was such a trip to play though.
I do go back and play it occasionally. The unarmed combat system is straightforward but satisfying
I have to mention Child of Light. It's a fantastic experience - great story, fun exploration elements, and a great combat system.
except this game got released on pretty much every platform since its launch so people were able to actually play it
not to mention it gets talked about a LOT by RUclipsrs for years
Top ten game for me and I have played so many. The soundtrack is on Zelda levels. An experience I'll never forget.
@@martinde-serres8724 what's your point? Still a great game and worth a playthrough. Everyone has played HL and Black Mesa but it still gets spoken about
@@Beanee27 The title was best single player games you've never played. If a lot of people played it, that's exactly his point.
@@Beanee27 read the fucking title before replying, geez
Child of Light, like HL and Black Mesa, HAS been played by pretty much everyone at this point
Absolutely fantastic list! I've played nearly all these or have them in my library waiting to be played. Alpha Protocol was a bit janky at times but the overall game and it's concepts are Soooo damn good! I wish there were more like it or a second Alpha Protocol just with a new agent, I always find myself going back to AP every couple years or so to enjoy it again, I've already played it since it released.....I'd say 15 times, it never gets old, it's just such a fun game! As can be said for MANY of the games on this list, but also many couldn't be fit into the list as well as most of these were more recent games on newer platforms, there's still plenty of old games people looked over that are great too! All I gotta say for someone looking for new games, single player or not, don't limit yourself to the most up to date games or even ultra realistic graphics games, theres a plethora of old and older games out there that are dated visually, yes, but they are 10x better than most games today that dump their budget into photorealistic graphics instead of making a well rounded game. There's plenty of fun to be had no matter what the game looks like or when it came out....just give them a chance and you could be blown away!
I loved how there were SO many options for playstyle in Alpha Protocol. I honestly struggled to decide which way to build my character quite often
@@YourPalHDeethe branching storyline options were so damn enjoyable that I replayed the game way more times than the gameplay warranted
Love how these keep coming up in my feed from Gameranx. Some of my all time favs were Pandemonium, Cold Winter and No One Live Forever. If they ever did a reboot of No One Lives Forever, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
I’m so happy to see The Pathless on this list. I found that game so beautiful in its simplicity. And then there’s that Austin Wintory soundtrack that brings me to tears. It’s so much fun but also almost… meditative? Idk. I love it!
Reminds me of journey mixed with shadow of the colossus may give it a go one day as I like those kind of games also the bow looks really fun to use
A game I loved was "gun" it was genuinely fun to play through
I loved that game! Almost nobody seems to remember it.
A solid contender for RDR at that time. Played it on PlayStation and GameCube, great on both!
Love this list, dude!
This War Of Mine is extremely underrated & overlooked. Such an emotional rollercoaster, so much depth to the characters & story, so many tough, heart-wrenching decisions to make. If you haven't played it, please do! It's really quite something - but you need to prepare yourself, it really hits you HARD, squarely in the feels! Then it does it again, and again...
Honorable mention: Contraband Police. A very recent release, but I watched a video of someone playing through it, and it was quite impressive. Think Papers Please meets (insert FPS here) meets The Long Drive, and you're about 1/2 way there...
I still boot up Mad Max every so often! This game is extremely deep and I’ve never seen better open world car battles before. Also the weather especially the storms are massive, terrifying and unique!
Night in the Woods, Oxenfree, Sally Face, Little Miss Fortune... Some very good, and varying degrees of disturbing, single player indies with great stories and surreal elements.
Mad Max might be top 15-20 for me. That game was awesome and I played it bac like last year, it's aged well.
9:30 So glad to see Echo get some love! Only played it recently and couldn't understand how it flew so far under the radar. Completely original, narrative driven, brilliant stealth / action game.
Thank you for this video because I hadn’t even heard of most of these and am now going to give them a try 👍
Gameranx ALWAYS come thru with the most entertaining video games content! I am glad I came across this Chan all those years ago 🔥
I was lucky enough to get Mad Max when it came out. SO underrated. It's an amazing game.
I bought it on sale in a whim, it was only $4.99. One of the best games I’ve played in a long while and throughly enjoyed updating the Magnum Opus and all the vehicular combat. I truly feel like I ripped off Avalanche Studios paying so little for such a wonderful game.
Definitely can't be called underrated anymore, people never shut up about how great it is lol
Mad Max is great! It's just fun....a lot of games are forgetting to just be fun nowadays.
@@fatbroccoli8 facts tho, its been trending for at least a year now. I had this game on release and no one spoke of it back then
@@Anubis.6256 yeah it was fun, was just lacking a good story or a reason to finish it
Great video!! I played and love most of these, but not for a while. Nice reminder!
Incredible list, really impressed with it overall from covering so many games that I've loved and were underrated. Thanks for this video.
Night In The Woods is one of the greatest pieces of fiction about adulthood and mental health ever and so incredibly depressing.
I absolutely loved Black Mesa, and how close they got to matching the original Half-Life ❤
I never got round to finish the original Half Life, but Ive gotten Black Mesa awhile ago, and cant wait to boot it up.
It looks beautiful in this video.
@@slyzorretrogamer5562 It's actually old footage. The game looks better now. Xen is even better.
I'd wager to say it improves every bit where Half-Life was lacking. It's a true work of wonder.
I got lost in that game for a week or two... the entire 3rd act, or second half of the game was insane!
It's definitely worth playing I personally did it to 100% completion I really enjoyed it, it's not just pretty but the sound design is fantastic too it's as I said in a review for it it's a great way for graphics snobs to actually play half-life rather than claiming that they have as we know there are many of them out there...don't forget 🍕 and the 🎩 😏
I'd say def the Metro series gets overlooked a LOT. Sure it's gotten more attention especially with the third entry, but that game has so many elements that are atmospheric, immersive, surprising emotional. It's fantastic and deserves more love. Especially how dynamic its wildlife AI is. I've never seen any other game get close to how well done and balanced that mutant wildlife is.
I agree. I got the bad karma ending in the third game and nearly cried
@@MarauderShields123 Oof..
The Metro Trilogy is one of my favorites, although I haven't played either of the DLCs though sadly.
Totally agree, I am just getting into those games, finished Metro 2033 and on to Last Light right now and it's a masterpiece I love it!
They are all great games indeed. I finished last light 3 times, it's perfect
can confirm ASTLIBRA is AMAZING. Amazing story and the combat system is gratifying and makes you want to come back for more after you get DECIMATED from a difficult segment.
Call of juarez gun slinger is a master piece. The comic style i love it. And it gives you that cowboy vibe.
Never played any of em. But just bought gunslinger and can’t wait to try it. Seen them talk about it in another video.
I actually just finished Alice like a month or so ago. I'm not big on platformers but I loved that game. So creative and interesting and kind of a whodunnit too. Totally would play again.
A remaster of alpha protocol would be LIT. The consequences affected the game
👆🏻
Still have it downloaded somewhere on a hard drive. It's a truly unpolished gem, but one I love dearly.
Would a remaster be less brown than the original?
It's a flawed masterpiece I think
Have you seen the behind of the scenes, the director didn’t take anybody else’s direction.
Holy... did not EVER expect you to even mention AstLibra in a video. Thanks, absolutely love that game! Needs way more people to try it out.
Mad Max, Deadpool, Call of Juarez ... hot takes ... well done!
Alice: Madness Returns was such a lovely game. The art direction was something I had never seen before and it created a really unique atmosphere. It could get quite creepy at times, too. I was devastated when I heard a month ago that EA didn't want to fund a third game :( Man, it really deserved to continue. Having another iconic female lead in gaming wouldn't have hurt!
Idk American McGee's an overrated douche. They were trying to create a new "rock star" game developer like John Romero, and used his street cred at id in a failed attempt.
He just used every popular goth trope at the time, I doubt he did much to even develop the game.
I recommend also American McGee's Alice
He is making another game tho
@@depressionrawr3199 They canceled
Can’t they just sell the rights to games like Alice in Wonderland, and let other creators, game companies work on a game 3, and new games similar
For those wanting some kinda similar to the vibes of Alice but very different also, I recommend Lost in Random
Loved lost in random. It was "free" on gamepass as well. I played every single game on this list haha. Idk that has ever happened on a gameranx list for me before
I got about 80% through it. Love the art and "vibe." But the controls were so uncomfortable I literally stopped playing because my hands hurt.
I absolutely loved playing Deadpool as a kid, Call of Juarez is Definitely going to be a new purchase for me on Steam now, and surprisingly I'm rerunning through Mad Max at the moment too.
Wish game channels would talk about The Banner Saga. Awesome game series with an interesting story, beautifully hand drawn art and a score composed by Austin Wintory. I play through it once a year at this point.
I remember picking up Binary Domain and not expecting much, but the game turned out to be a banger. The story was full of plot twists and corny, but extremely fun. The best mechanics of the game was how you can shoot and tear down the armor and limbs of robots and see metal chunks flying off. It was really satisfying.
I remember playing Alice, the madness returns and i loved every second of it, is such a fan game and extremely underrated
In that case you might like Lost in Random
Its also remind me with Naruto ultimate 4
i also remember it was a very long game..i think more than 15 hours
Binary Domain was so much fun! I played it on PS3 and then again on pc. It's on Steam for around $15. That one and Alpha Protocol were both games I loved that not a lot of other people seemed to, or even knew about.
Another great video, guys! Day after day you guys manage to put out insightful, informative and relevant material for us to devour! Thank you for All your hard work!❤
Yeah they have some great vids
Single player games often get overlooked. Thank you for doing this video, Jake!
THANK YOU!!! You mentioned alpha protocol and I absolutely love that game to this day. I still have my first original copy of it. One of the best stories I’ve ever played❤
Honestly, Alpha Protocol didn't need MUCH work to become truly great.
So much of the way it was already was deeply interesting.
Definitely going to check a few of these out: thanks!!!!!
The Deadpool game was so underrated, it was a blast to play through, I think I picked it up on sale at gamestop for like $15 at one point.
dumb fast
Have been a fan of Alice the Madness Returns for a long time. Really interesting look to it and fun to play. Wish they would make another one.
Unfortunately they can’t make another one, and the story behind that (and how close they came) is truly tragic.
I’m lucky enough to have picked up the PS3 disks with American McGee’s original Alice game & Madness Returns. So glad to hear the shout out for this disturbingly gorgeous horror game which takes place in a very twisted Wonderland - and the soundtrack is incredible. From what I’ve heard we came so close to getting the sequel - Alice Asylum, but EA did what EA often does and turned their backs on SP gamers (I’m surprised we even got Jedi Fallen Order & Survivor). They’ll support a few Indie Devs, why not this one?
@@WaywardL80 What do you mean they support indie devs? any developers they publish for are by definition not independent
For me I can clearly think of 3 particularly awesome and pretty old games I loved that I never saw much on.
First was a unique heist game, basically if Leverage was made into a game, called Th3 Plan. Had 3 characters you controlled to enact complex heists and manage all on screen at the same time. Fun and very hard.
Second, a game called Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, now that was just a fun action game. Had all kinds of crazy psychic powers and basically blitzed through enemies in chaotic ways. Like telekinesis giant crates at people, or mind controlling guys to take out enemies and then themselves in pretty brutal ways.
Lastly there was Rogue Trooper, action shooter about blue soldiers who are clones, with a lot of fun mechanics. Like installing the life chips of your fallen Brothers into your gear so now you can set your gun down and have it become a turret.
I love it when you guys make these videos! I'm always looking for new stuff to play in between binging Fallout and/or Skyrim, and I always love the stuff you guys recommend. KEEP THAT SHIT UP.
Mad max is just the perfect settings for a game and the game itself delivered amazingly. The sense of progression, upgrading your car, opening up the map, different storylines... Everything was SO good! One of the few games I 100%ed.
One game I never see being talked about is ‘katana zero’. It’s such a fun game. Sometimes I feel like only me and my brother have ever played it 😅
It's a blast to play, you're not alone!
i love Katana Zero, Its a wonderful experience and so satisfying to Go through all enemies its a Blast 😁
I loved Binary Domain. It was a kick-ass, action-packed, witty game that made me think of cheesy 90s action movies. I'd love to get my hands on it again.
Wow! I can't believe I've actually played 10 out of the 13 games in this video!
Amazing games, by the way! Tons of fun!
Alpha protocol was so good love all the different outcomes plus love games that choices actually matter!
So happy you mentioned Alice madness returns. I absolutely love that game, it is so unique. Hopefully we ser another one day
It seems like Lies of P might have some of the same vibes??
There is still very slow but steady progress on Alice: Asylum, might be another 5 years but something to hold on to.
The story is so good I am surprised there's no show or tv series based on it.
Hey just letting you know american mcgee is making another game called alice asylum check out his RUclips
I really didn't expect to see binary domain here.. glad someone mentioned it... Had great fun playing that game..
i had 0 expectations but DAMN thanks for talking about CoJ: Gunslinger. such a good game
i can’t recommend mad max to enough people, man what a gem. One of many games that deserve a sequel it’ll never get.
Holy shit, they gave love to Call of Juarez 😢 I loved that game
Assassins creed odyssey and origins are easily one of the best single player games ive played. Just started odyssey week ago after completing origins and i can highly recommend Ac odyssey for people who havent played it yet. Beatiful scenery, good graphics, satisfying combat, big map etc
Well, proud to have played 3 games from the top four (Black Mesa, Deadpool & Call of Juarez: Gunslinger) & thanks for the recommendations.
Alpha Protocol is one of the best stealth/rpg combos ever made. Yes it has its flaws but the progressions, characters, locations all make up for it.
A flawed masterpiece
I have played them all and binary domain destroy all the other games in my opinion. I was shocked that this game had a overall score of 6.8 for pc.
I loved binary domain but I gotta give it to sleeping dogs. Sleeping dogs is and always will be a masterpiece and a way better open world crime game than Grand theft auto could ever be.
Yeah thats a great game. Underrated game truly. Story was great and combat mechanics was fun and pretty brutal.
Thanks for the heads up about Astlibra
One game I enjoyed from the old ps1 days was a game about the demolition derbies. Just cars smashing into each other. So Mad Max was an easy title to pick up and adore. The ground combat is satisfying too as the Batman combat was respected and adapted to fit the game. And the storms... Oh the storms. That was a neat experience. The first time they roll in you realize you really should have listened to your mechanic and sought shelter when you had the chance.
