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

Skerries · 03-11-2016 5:31pm

Far Cry: Blood Dragon is going to be free from Ubisoft this month even if you don't have a gold account on PC anyway

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.

Sephiroth_dude · 03-11-2016 6:01pm

State of decay may be too your liking , also:

Witcher 3
Rise of the tombraider
Just cause 3
Quantum break

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.

gimli2112 · 04-11-2016 11:20am

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)

theteal · 04-11-2016 11:39am

Is Vanquish backwards compat?

budhabob · 04-11-2016 5:06pm

Cheers folks, serious shopping list here.

budhabob · 23-12-2019 11:58am

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.

Sephiroth_dude · 23-12-2019 1:45pm

Fallout NV, 3 and 4.

Sephiroth_dude · 23-12-2019 1:58pm

Too bad you don't have a ps4 , you could play the Yakuza games then .

They are on PC too

B.A._Baracus · 23-12-2019 2:12pm

Definitely recommend Doom 2016.

Mad Max was strangely addictive to me.

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.

23-12-2019 8:05pm

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.
