@@imaddesigns1493 I’d already played the original on PS1 when first released. I didn’t like that too much, but remake was just as mediocre. It was horribly dated.
Loved the car combat, started to really dislike the hand to hand combat (little depth or variety, gets repetitive after 3 hours and the upgrades don't help much) before putting it down. What really hurt the game for me is that it had barely any proper missions and put much less effort into the story after the intro. Since the Mad Max sequels are basically side missions, give the player some crazy elaborate side missions with good writing like Red Dead or The Witcher 3 (minus picking dialogue). And where's all the insane car chases and memorable weird characters (I remember just one - Chumbucket)?
As an Xbox owner, gotta say if you love single player you need to have a PlayStation. Xbox is good but we only really have gears, halo among a few others, PlayStation have loads of single player games! 👍
We are not restricted to exclusives. And there is plenty of Microsoft single players great games like Control, Quantum Break, Fable, Ori... few to mention. Also Halo, Gears and everything else can be played as single player as well and are good for even single player. . Having option for multiplayer does not take anything away from single players. If you like "press X, press A" games like in walking death series... then PS is for you. I watch movies from netflix, gaming has tohave some actual action.

CONTROL was the 1st game I purchased on my PS4 had no idea what to think of it besides it looked like playing a dream or something, with the most realistic feeling of floating like as if you’re having a lucid dream… the game completely blew me away and when I would ask people about the game, nobody seemed to have ever played it? Such an underrated game and deserves more recognition for sure! Absolutely loved the list (shivers for playing Dark Souls and getting CURSED!!!)
I played it. It was definitely a super unique and cool game. I won’t call it my favorite because halfway through I started to lose some interest. I think the gameplay started to get repetitive for me. But either way even though it wasn’t necessarily for me, I recognize how special of a game it is, and I could see why some would consider it a master piece. I love single player, story driven games.(it’s all I play) and I love something with a unique and “weird” feel, so it’s strange I didn’t like it even more. Maybe I was just playing too many games that year. 🤷♂️
Man you missed a bunch, Fallout 3, Fallout new Vegas, fallout 4, Skyrim, GTA 5, red dead redemption, Dishonored 1 and 2, Kingdom Come just off the top of my head
Here's a bunch more games worth playing - The Last Of Us Remastered, Tomb Raider definitive edition, Infamous Second Son, Shadow of Mordor GOTY edition, Mad Max, Watch Dogs 2, Mafia 3, Rise of The Tomb Raider, Shadow of War definitive edition, AC Origins, Uncharted Lost Legacy, A Plague Tale Innocence, AC Odyssey, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Days Gone, and Mafia definitive edition.

Borderlands 2 is for me still the greatest single player game ever.. Yes it can be played in co-op as well.. But I can count on one hand how many times I've played it with others.. And with over 2000 hours racked up on it and still going... This game for me is gonna take some beating.
In solo it can be tough beating the raid bosses at UVHM mode, you’ll have to switch between a slag weapon and your primary gun repeatedly, which is a bit of a drag itself.
Some of my personal favorite single player games of the past generation to now are: Zelda BotW Nier Automata Yakuza Like a Dragon Persona 5 God of War Detroit Become Human The Last Guardian Neo: TWEWY (currently playing) Astral Chain Uncharted 4 Divinity Original Sin 2 Life is Strange series Psychonauts 2 (Currently playing)
We’re a bit spoiled now with most of these beautiful games. FF7r is full blown fan service done right if you grew up with the original 1997 game. I got so excited I actually got teared up when the music swell hit in the intro. And R&C Rift Apart is hands down my GOTY for 2021. Best looking game I think ever! If you have a PS5 you owe it to yourself to pick that game up!
yeah I loved final fantasy 7 remake it was absolutely great. I play the original back in 1997 I was like 12 or 13 yrs old at that time I thought that was the best graphics I ever seen not the characters but like the background.
If you happen to have a nintendo switch try metroid dread, I think it beat Rachet and clank drift apart for me. Dont get me wrong they’re both amazing, but need to give metroid a shout out for game of the year 2021.
Ff7 remake was a disaster, completely missed an opportunity to do something meaningful and instead we got a big turd of a game with no exploration of ff7 universe. Game is a 5.5/10 at best. Unforgiveable how they ripped the heart out of the game
Code Vein, Battle Chasers Nightwar, Atelier Ryza 1 & 2, Mortal Kombat 11, Remnant from the Ashes...This list is more like best sellers & ignored anything you had to dig deeper than looking at a sales chart. (Although I realize MK 11 would be a best seller, don't know how they missed that game, that makes zero sense.)
There’s only one thing wrong with this list if you ask me and that is gears of War five. One reason multiplayer. This list is about single player games personally I would rather have RETURNAL on this list instead because it is a far better game and it will put your skills to the ultimate test.
My list would be 1. Witcher 3 2. Fire emblem three houses 3. Sekiro 4. Hollow Knight 5. Ori and the blind forest 6. Doom 2016 7. Zelda: Breath of the Wild 8. XCOM 2 9. Triangle Strategy 10. Horizon Zero Dawn 11. Red Dead Redemption 2 12. Devil May Cry 5 13. Last of us part 2 14. Control 15. Celeste 16. Borderlands 3 17. Plague tale innocence 18. Star Wars Fallen Order 19. Pokemon Sword 20. Wasteland 3 21. Shadow of the Tomb Raider 22. Halo Infinite 23. Xenoblade Chronicles 24. Hitman 2 25. Resident Evil 7 26. God of War 27. Stellaris 28. Crusader Kings 3 29. Tales of Arise 30. Persona 5
My favourite games of the recent generations is Horizon Zero Dawn Horizon Forbidden West The Witcher 3 Deus Ex Mankind Divided Marvel Spiderman Quantum Break Infamous Second Son Red Redemption II God Of War Uncharted 4 Watch Dogs Marvel's Spiderman miles Morales Star wars Jedi Fallen Order Assassin's Creed Unity Assassin's Creed Origins Far Cry 5 Call of Duty Modern Warfare Ghost of Tsushima Detroit Become Human Batman Arkham series Saints Row IV Control Watch Dogs 2 .....Just to name a few
I figured for certain days gone would’ve been on this list?? It’s like playing the last of us the Witcher red dead redemption in Grandtheft auto combined w. Some resident evil due to the post apocalyptic zombie thing but it’s an amazing game on a good level of quality it’s as good as. Witcher3 are three To put it lightly it’s one of the absolute best story centered single player games I’ve ever experienced!!
@@williamguzman4952 I thought the overall quality gameplay immersion tone atmosphere graphics voice acting and everything in days gone were above board and very top notch- It is one of the few games that I would even come close to comparing to the Witcher3 wild hunt
The Outer Worlds, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare, Titanfall 2, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus to me had amazing stories as well for this generation
@@joshuaknox2724 and wolfenstein like i strongly doubt those are worth playing. mw 2019 in particular is especially bad compared to previous entries in the series
Here are some honorable mentions I think many SP folks will like: Divinity Original Sin 2 The Wolf Among Us Tales From the Borderlands Norco Dishonored 2 Prey, Prey Mooncrash Persona 4 Golden Before Your Eyes For me, my top 5 greatest games of all time are: Dishonored 2 Prey Disco Elysium SSX 3 Metro Exodus
Good list, played almost every game on it. But I personally miss "Hollow Knight", which surprised me more then expected and now has a place in my alltime faves-list.
30 of the most popular games that everyone already knows are worth playing... Thanks for showing us a video of B roll you used in the review of all these games. Not to mention some of these are not single player only games. Who puts monster hunter world on here as a single player game when more than 50% of the game requires you to play online. Not to mention that means you are always playing on the easiest difficulty alone.
My only critique for Hades and most rouguelikes is that I wish there was more than just a handful of bosses. I love the game a lot. I’ve played the heck out of it. But I just wish there were more bosses to mix things up a bit.
I feel like a game could never get better than Bloodborne or Disco Elysium. Two very different games but both perfect in every single way. Witcher 3 and The last of us aren’t far behind
There are still soooo many other games out there; a few more for example: Jedi Knight Fallen Order, Metro Exodus, DooM Eternal and one of my favorites YS8 Lacrimosa of Dana.
There are only about five multiplayer games I've ever put more than 10 hours into. Overwatch, Halo, Playstation All-Stars, Smash Bros, and maybe one or two others. I don't dislike multiplayer but I have no need for more than one at a time. Those games I just listed got most of their play-time through dead periods with no game releases where I would return to them. If you're over like 20 you don't really even have time for multiple multiplayer games. At least with single player games are more digestible. I'm glad the industry is coming around on single player games. They seemed to have it in their head that everything had to be multiplayer or have a multiplayer component in the PS3/Xbox 360 era
Here is my favorite list of single player games this generation: Final Fantasy XV Tales of Berseria Tales of Arise Odin Sphere Leifthrasir Ys IX Monstrum Nox Nier Automata Darksiders Genesis Darksiders III Control Hades Batman Arkham Knight Persona 5 Strikers
I love multiplayer games. I love story mode games. But I have mainly focused on multiplayer. But now I’m in a situation where my internet is no longer elite and competing online isn’t the same with lag spikes and disconnecting frequently. But for now. The time being. I can go back to the roots of story mode gaming. I’m excited for this chapter in my life. Does anyone have any recommendations for awesome story mode games? I loved Skyrim 5 years ago. I loved red dead redemption. And I loved assassins creed black flag. Do you guys know any games like that or new ones to check out?
Control truely deserves to be higher up that list than a lot of those games. The lore is so deep and mind blowing, the visuals are striking, the game play with all the different powers is cool as fuck, its quite challenging and is a launch point for the wider control universe tying in other Remedy games like Alan Wake & Quantum Break to it. The subject matter you deal with in Control is litterally cosmic in scope.
God of War is amazing. I'm not sure any game beats it when it comes to combining excellent presentation, story and engaging gameplay/game mechanics. I like other aspects maybe slightly more in individual categories, but as a total package I think God of War is the mark that developers should be aiming for. It's an excellent game from top to bottom. The way they designed it with essentially no loading screens at all was amazing. It's just so well executed and makes it really easy to sink hours into it. Open world games are great but I've gotten really tired of every game needing to be a giant open world. Sometimes a game with a smaller scope works better and God of War is a perfect example of that. There is always something entertaining happening and it's an easy game to come back to if you have to shelf it for a week or two due to being an adult. Wish more games considered this.
I think god of war 3 is better. With the loading screens and a cutting camera the game delivers soooo much more spectacle. The opening of god of war 3 is way crazier than anything in ragnarok. The story, characters and writing are better but they can be better with loading screens and cuts
I know it's me, but this list did not resonate much at all (except CONTROL). The Ascent, Prey (2017), Doom (2016), Wasteland 3, Outer Wilds, and The Outer Worlds were not considered over any of the entries? And while they may not have been considered that great by the masses, I feel the need to bring up Greedfall and Titanfall 2, real gems of campaigns some are missing out on. I can see loverlooking some if this were restricted to a top ten, but this list really missed the mark.
I’m still playing Nioh 2 and loving NG+ and the DLC, this game is just so good, I have a feeling Team Ninja can hit a game of the year if their next game has the same combat mechanics and great story with better graphics and something new to attract more players
@@marcothephoenix1278 honestly it’s like a beefed up version of Nioh 1, but the burst counters and yokai shifts you can do instead of using your guardian spirit or while you’re using your guardian spirit make the combat system great. plus you have a lot of options to turn off like the excessive loot, or you can check it all and dump it quickly in the blacksmith. Also the extra weapons like the splitstaff and switchglave, plus the new combat tree, it’s just better in all aspects.
Even with all the problems on release Cyberpunk 2077 is a big recommendation. The game isnt the best game ever like we all expected it to be but its still a very very good game.
@@imadkhristo6422 in my opinion yes, it was very good even for the side quests there are amazing stories. When it comes to fighting I am unsure of the current state since there were big patches that I didn't play.
@@imadkhristo6422 if you plan on buying it but you arent in a hurry and want to save a bit, just wait for the xmas sale when it will go for like 20$ (its about 45now)

Such an underrated game and deserves more recognition for sure! Absolutely loved the list (shivers for playing Dark Souls and getting CURSED!!!)
Its defenitely one of my favorites too! It deserved so much more attention and credit, so many people have not played it yet!
really best game ever do you know any more similar games like this
I played it. It was definitely a super unique and cool game. I won’t call it my favorite because halfway through I started to lose some interest. I think the gameplay started to get repetitive for me. But either way even though it wasn’t necessarily for me, I recognize how special of a game it is, and I could see why some would consider it a master piece. I love single player, story driven games.(it’s all I play) and I love something with a unique and “weird” feel, so it’s strange I didn’t like it even more. Maybe I was just playing too many games that year. 🤷♂️
Control is epic!
I wasn't a fan, I guess it's not for everyone.
Man you missed a bunch, Fallout 3, Fallout new Vegas, fallout 4, Skyrim, GTA 5, red dead redemption, Dishonored 1 and 2, Kingdom Come just off the top of my head
for me i have to put dishonored 1 or 2 on this list some of the most fun games I have played with an art style that blows me away every time
I’m surprised NieR Automata didn’t make the cut!
An absolute masterpiece.
Shocking game is good.
Monster hunter world did though, as a ‘best single player game’ lol..........,
simply not good enough
Here's a bunch more games worth playing - The Last Of Us Remastered, Tomb Raider definitive edition, Infamous Second Son, Shadow of Mordor GOTY edition, Mad Max, Watch Dogs 2, Mafia 3, Rise of The Tomb Raider, Shadow of War definitive edition, AC Origins, Uncharted Lost Legacy, A Plague Tale Innocence, AC Odyssey, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Days Gone, and Mafia definitive edition.

Criminaly underrated
I really like all the Batman Arkham games but I also love Jedi Fallen Order, and I really hoped these would be on there
Borderlands 2 is for me still the greatest single player game ever..
Yes it can be played in co-op as well..
But I can count on one hand how many times I've played it with others..
And with over 2000 hours racked up on it and still going...
This game for me is gonna take some beating.
Terramorphous the Invincible says hello
In solo it can be tough beating the raid bosses at UVHM mode, you’ll have to switch between a slag weapon and your primary gun repeatedly, which is a bit of a drag itself.
@@negx3933 if you've got a good set up, and you know what dpad direction the weapons are allocated to..
It isn't that bad..
I love Borderlands but it hardly story driven lol, more like keep the action going driven with all the new guns
Damn, some real low standards here
Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Subnautica and Nier Automata should be on this list.
control and jedi fallen order? :D
@@joshuaknox2724 control is literally on the list
@@sina2403 sorry i smoke waaay too much weed my bad internet
Outer Wilds and Subnautica!!!!!!!!
@@lukenchen1111 Such amazing games
I think nioh and especially nioh 2 deserve a spot on this list.
If I had to make a list, Resident Evil 2 remake will occupy that number 1 spot. It is just perfection.
Amen to that!
The fact the Shadow of the Colossus PS4 remake is not on this list angers me deeply. One of the very best single player games ever made!!!
nostalgia clouds your judgement
I have shadow of colossus on my PS4 in labrary. But for me I didn't like it so I just uninstalled it.
You shouldn't be angered at all by a list of video games on a RUclips video
SotC is absolutely among the GOAT‘s!
Some of my personal favorite single player games of the past generation to now are:
Zelda BotW
Nier Automata
Yakuza Like a Dragon
Persona 5
God of War
Detroit Become Human
The Last Guardian
Neo: TWEWY (currently playing)
Astral Chain
Uncharted 4
Divinity Original Sin 2
Life is Strange series
Psychonauts 2 (Currently playing)
haven't played witcher 3?
@@scented_meat I have. I wasn't as big of a fan as everyone else.
We’re a bit spoiled now with most of these beautiful games. FF7r is full blown fan service done right if you grew up with the original 1997 game. I got so excited I actually got teared up when the music swell hit in the intro. And R&C Rift Apart is hands down my GOTY for 2021. Best looking game I think ever! If you have a PS5 you owe it to yourself to pick that game up!
yeah I loved final fantasy 7 remake it was absolutely great. I play the original back in 1997 I was like 12 or 13 yrs old at that time I thought that was the best graphics I ever seen not the characters but like the background.
If you happen to have a nintendo switch try metroid dread, I think it beat Rachet and clank drift apart for me. Dont get me wrong they’re both amazing, but need to give metroid a shout out for game of the year 2021.
Ff7 r is spit in the face to fans of original. Dunno where ppl like you are getting such demented opinions.
Demons souls clears ratchet and clank visually. Best looking game I’ve ever played
Ff7 remake was a disaster, completely missed an opportunity to do something meaningful and instead we got a big turd of a game with no exploration of ff7 universe. Game is a 5.5/10 at best. Unforgiveable how they ripped the heart out of the game
I played almost all of them, accept Metal Gear Solid 5, Sentinals: Aagis Rim and Half Life Alyx. But where is Hollow Knight and Nier Automata?
Yeah and they included that piece of crap Animal Crossing.
MGSV was so fun
resident evil 2 remake is one of my favorite games, ever. don't know if i've ever had a better gaming experience.
Single player games are the best and will always be the best single player/Co-Op are my go twos fuck multiplayer
Go twos
@@McGeezle I know I know I cant spell or write.
@@babytaz5926 hey keep trying mate
Outward for co-op.
Code Vein, Battle Chasers Nightwar, Atelier Ryza 1 & 2, Mortal Kombat 11, Remnant from the Ashes...This list is more like best sellers & ignored anything you had to dig deeper than looking at a sales chart. (Although I realize MK 11 would be a best seller, don't know how they missed that game, that makes zero sense.)
There’s only one thing wrong with this list if you ask me and that is gears of War five. One reason multiplayer. This list is about single player games personally I would rather have RETURNAL on this list instead because it is a far better game and it will put your skills to the ultimate test.
Campaign is Gears5 is as good as any other single player game. And you can play it co-op.
Mr. X wasn't technically a new mechanic, since he was in scenario B of the original. Though obviously, his implementation has vastly evolved.
No Sleeping Dogs? Mad Max? Days Gone? How about the Saints Row Series or Yakuza, Witcher?
Incredible video man and have a good day everybody :]
:]
I can't believe Zelda BotW hasn't been ported to PC. Nintendo would make an absolute mountain of money.
Literally
Because they want you to buy a Switch first...
@@martman8886 That would be a very misguided strategy.
My list would be
1. Witcher 3

.....Just to name a few
I figured for certain days gone would’ve been on this list??
It’s like playing the last of us the Witcher red dead redemption in Grandtheft auto combined w. Some resident evil due to the post apocalyptic zombie thing but it’s an amazing game on a good level of quality it’s as good as. Witcher3 are three
To put it lightly it’s one of the absolute best story centered single player games I’ve ever experienced!!
its far worse than any of those games you mentioned however, really mediocre overall
@@williamguzman4952
I thought the overall quality gameplay immersion tone atmosphere graphics voice acting and everything in days gone were above board and very top notch-
It is one of the few games that I would even come close to comparing to the Witcher3 wild hunt
@@williamguzman4952 Not at all.
Mass Effect Trilogy, Batman Arkham, Bioshock
BioShock is my number one ever.
Bloodborne at two.
WITCHER 3 in third .
Your other 2 games make my top ten.
Assassins Creed Odyssey, was a marvelous big adventure.
Days Gone deserves a spot. Nioh 1/2 as well.
The Outer Worlds, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare, Titanfall 2, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus to me had amazing stories as well for this generation
The Outer Worlds is one of the best games storywise I have played
cod? really
@@joshuaknox2724 and wolfenstein like i strongly doubt those are worth playing. mw 2019 in particular is especially bad compared to previous entries in the series
@@ChillChrill well it shows you the standards they need to aim for....which is not very high if guys think those are good stories loooooooool
@@ChillChrill wolfenstein 2 is fantastic, 2019's wolfenstein youngblood is awful
Missed Dragon Age Origins on the list. Its story and choices will be forever on my soul
So we're just gonna pretend that Jedi fallen order doesn't exist...
and control...AND DMC5!
yes it doesnt
Here are some honorable mentions I think many SP folks will like:
Divinity Original Sin 2
The Wolf Among Us
Tales From the Borderlands
Norco
Dishonored 2
Prey, Prey Mooncrash
Persona 4 Golden
Before Your Eyes
For me, my top 5 greatest games of all time are:
Dishonored 2
Prey
Disco Elysium
SSX 3
Metro Exodus
Good list, played almost every game on it. But I personally miss "Hollow Knight", which surprised me more then expected and now has a place in my alltime faves-list.
One day more people will realize how amazing the game Prey is, but alas it has been forgotten again. One day.
Death stranding,days gone, a plagues tale,and senuas sacrifice should be on this list
30 of the most popular games that everyone already knows are worth playing... Thanks for showing us a video of B roll you used in the review of all these games. Not to mention some of these are not single player only games. Who puts monster hunter world on here as a single player game when more than 50% of the game requires you to play online. Not to mention that means you are always playing on the easiest difficulty alone.
My God, a Bloodborne PS5 remaster would be epic!!!
My only critique for Hades and most rouguelikes is that I wish there was more than just a handful of bosses. I love the game a lot. I’ve played the heck out of it. But I just wish there were more bosses to mix things up a bit.
Playing the “hell” out of it! Bu-dun-da! Pun? Anyone? No? Ok I’m done.
@@drgonzo123 lol. Decent effort.
Ahh, that well known game
Rachet and CLINK
😂😂
Bioshock shouldn't be missing in this list
I feel like a game could never get better than Bloodborne or Disco Elysium. Two very different games but both perfect in every single way. Witcher 3 and The last of us aren’t far behind
Agree with bloodborne
Dont know how Doom Eternal, DMC 5 and Nier Automata missed the cut. But good list.
There are still soooo many other games out there; a few more for example: Jedi Knight Fallen Order, Metro Exodus, DooM Eternal and one of my favorites YS8 Lacrimosa of Dana.
Neither one of the Doom titles?
Nier: Automata
Hollow Knight
Divinity Original Sin 2
Atleast you started with Disco.
I agree with some games, but my list is very different.
There are only about five multiplayer games I've ever put more than 10 hours into. Overwatch, Halo, Playstation All-Stars, Smash Bros, and maybe one or two others. I don't dislike multiplayer but I have no need for more than one at a time. Those games I just listed got most of their play-time through dead periods with no game releases where I would return to them. If you're over like 20 you don't really even have time for multiple multiplayer games. At least with single player games are more digestible.
I'm glad the industry is coming around on single player games. They seemed to have it in their head that everything had to be multiplayer or have a multiplayer component in the PS3/Xbox 360 era
Metro Exodus?
Great list.
✔God of War, without doubt was the best game in the list!
really bro? lol
sekiro and dmc 5 > gow
No days gone? Damn..
Days Gone was a lot of fun, really underated.
Single player 3rd person games are my favorite
Here is my favorite list of single player games this generation:
Final Fantasy XV
Tales of Berseria
Tales of Arise
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
Ys IX Monstrum Nox
Nier Automata
Darksiders Genesis
Darksiders III
Control
Hades
Batman Arkham Knight
Persona 5 Strikers
Quantum Break, Alan Wake can also make the list. Yes, I agree it is a linear story but so are many of the others on the list.
so nier automata doesnt make the list??? thats the best game that ive played in my entire life
I love multiplayer games. I love story mode games. But I have mainly focused on multiplayer. But now I’m in a situation where my internet is no longer elite and competing online isn’t the same with lag spikes and disconnecting frequently. But for now. The time being. I can go back to the roots of story mode gaming. I’m excited for this chapter in my life. Does anyone have any recommendations for awesome story mode games? I loved Skyrim 5 years ago. I loved red dead redemption. And I loved assassins creed black flag. Do you guys know any games like that or new ones to check out?
Witcher 3
Assasins creed Odyssey, farcry 2,3,4,5.
Control truely deserves to be higher up that list than a lot of those games. The lore is so deep and mind blowing, the visuals are striking, the game play with all the different powers is cool as fuck, its quite challenging and is a launch point for the wider control universe tying in other Remedy games like Alan Wake & Quantum Break to it. The subject matter you deal with in Control is litterally cosmic in scope.
Holy jabroni, what a great list.
Hades, Bloodborne, RE2, God of War, Uncharted: Absolute killers 🗡
Celeste and Hollow Knight should be on here. I also quite enjoyed Octopath Traveler and Dragon Quest 11.
God of War is amazing. I'm not sure any game beats it when it comes to combining excellent presentation, story and engaging gameplay/game mechanics. I like other aspects maybe slightly more in individual categories, but as a total package I think God of War is the mark that developers should be aiming for. It's an excellent game from top to bottom.
The way they designed it with essentially no loading screens at all was amazing. It's just so well executed and makes it really easy to sink hours into it.
Open world games are great but I've gotten really tired of every game needing to be a giant open world. Sometimes a game with a smaller scope works better and God of War is a perfect example of that. There is always something entertaining happening and it's an easy game to come back to if you have to shelf it for a week or two due to being an adult. Wish more games considered this.
I think god of war 3 is better. With the loading screens and a cutting camera the game delivers soooo much more spectacle. The opening of god of war 3 is way crazier than anything in ragnarok. The story, characters and writing are better but they can be better with loading screens and cuts
Guys it's the end of 2021.. Please put video chapters ffs!
I know it's me, but this list did not resonate much at all (except CONTROL). The Ascent, Prey (2017), Doom (2016), Wasteland 3, Outer Wilds, and The Outer Worlds were not considered over any of the entries?
And while they may not have been considered that great by the masses, I feel the need to bring up Greedfall and Titanfall 2, real gems of campaigns some are missing out on. I can see loverlooking some if this were restricted to a top ten, but this list really missed the mark.
Metro Exodus should be included too
SEKIRO fan here🥺🥺🖐️🖐️
I’m still playing Nioh 2 and loving NG+ and the DLC, this game is just so good, I have a feeling Team Ninja can hit a game of the year if their next game has the same combat mechanics and great story with better graphics and something new to attract more players
how much better is it compared to nioh 1? cuz i didnt enjoy that one so much idk why it just felt meh. nioh 2 looks so fun tho
@@marcothephoenix1278 honestly it’s like a beefed up version of Nioh 1, but the burst counters and yokai shifts you can do instead of using your guardian spirit or while you’re using your guardian spirit make the combat system great. plus you have a lot of options to turn off like the excessive loot, or you can check it all and dump it quickly in the blacksmith. Also the extra weapons like the splitstaff and switchglave, plus the new combat tree, it’s just better in all aspects.
People always forget Batman Arkham Knight
"Sekiro" and "Days Gone"
Wow Sony is killing it
I don't know, no Mario Odyssey, no Hollow Knight, no Nier Automata, no Three Houses, I mean they are better than Judgement no ? and Yakuza 0 ?
i preferred yakuza 0 over all of them
Judgment is a masterpiece with addicting story. But i agree Yakuza and Nier should be in the list
Even with all the problems on release Cyberpunk 2077 is a big recommendation. The game isnt the best game ever like we all expected it to be but its still a very very good game.
Good story?
@@imadkhristo6422 in my opinion yes, it was very good even for the side quests there are amazing stories. When it comes to fighting I am unsure of the current state since there were big patches that I didn't play.
