Single Player Games

    Hey all,

    I used to be more into gaming, but life got in the way (Damn you life). I have never really been a fan of online mulitplayers (bar command and conquer back in the day).

    I am much more a fan of decent single player games (FPS) that take time, so for that reason I am a fan of Far cry, GTA, Assassins Creed, RDR (really looking forward to the new one). I used to really like Call of Duty etc, but when you can finish a campaign in a day or two it just doesnt feel like value for money.

    I have an xbox one, just wondering if there are any obvious titles I have missed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is well worth playing.

    Seconding the DOOM nomination

    Enjoying Titanfall 2 campaign so far (haven't played a lot, but it's getting plenty of praise...though I don't know if it's all that long)

    Far Cry: Blood Dragon is free this month with Xbox Live Gold membership if you haven't played it

    🤪

    This Year?

    Doom
    Titanfall 2

    If you're into FPS then the Borderlands Series is a great shout. I've sunk hundreds of hours into 1 & 2.

    Best Single player shooter I've played in years.
    Definitely prefer it over the new Doom...which is a decent game in it's own right.

    2nd I'd say Deus Ex (try get Human Revolution first, then do Mankind Divided)

    Titanfall 2

    This game has a super short singleplayer. It's great but only a handful of hours. It's first and foremost online shooter.

    A little older but Sunset Overdrive is brilliant I think.

    I would describe it as a cross between Crackdown and Saints Row.

    Borderlands 2
    Wolfeinstein New Order (Old Blood not so much but still good)
    DOOM




    Dead Space series (if you can play these on the One? - they're last gen)

    Is Vanquish backwards compat?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,731 ✭✭✭ budhabob


    Cheers folks, serious shopping list here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,731 ✭✭✭ budhabob


    Just gonna try and keep this listing live (for my own benefit if not others):

    Rage 1 & 2 - open world type game, good fun.
    Metro series - good gameplay, some heavy dialogue but enjoyable nonetheless.

    Playing the first shadow of mordor at the moment as it's on gamepass. I didn't think I would have any interest but it's super fun albeit the controls can be a bit iffy at times. Going to finish this then go straight to the sequel.

    Worth a punt? Always seem to get put off by movie games.

    It's standard open world guff with Arkham city combat. Found it dull and samey but others like it.




  • In Mad Max you will have seen everything you are going to see in about 3-4 hours then the repetition kicks in, so yeah a standard Avalanche Studios game.

    I was surprised that I liked it so much. Perhaps it's was the driving and environment that drew me in.
    I'm awful for starting a game and not finishing but this had me coming back after finishing the story.

    As others say it's a bit repetitive. So maybe after all the other good stuff you can give it a go.
