25 Outstanding Modern Single Player Games

Game Podunker Matthew Root writes, "The following is a list of 25 exceptional single player games. It covers a diverse range of styles and genres but each title offers a worthwhile gaming experience. Each game on this list is either exclusively a solo affair or, in the few cases where a multiplayer mode is present, the single player campaign is the core experience of the game. Games with multiplayer modes are denoted with an asterisk and the list is presented in no particular order..."

Well it aint on their list but Heavy Rain is my best single player gaming experience

jammy_705652d ago

I'm playing batman now and so far it's brilliant, uncharted 2 is best single player this gen.... But I haven't played gow3 yet...

CrazyOrange5652d ago

Mass Effect 1+2 combined has to be the best single player experience for me

pwneddemocrat5652d ago

Guitar Hero 3 takes my vote.
was fun to play even if it was just me trying to beat the old score and nailing those stars on through the fire and flames song, i think that's what it's name was.

Ducky5652d ago (Edited 5652d ago )

no STALKER ...? or well, hell, even Metro2033.

I don't get how HL2:Episode2 wasn't 'stellar'. I enjoyed it more than some games on the list. Then again, it's all personal opinions.
x.x

Though, I'd take a Penumbra/Amnesia game over DeadSpace in terms of horror. DeadSpace just felt too cliché to be scary.

Neckbear5652d ago (Edited 5652d ago )

I think that if you consider Dead Space a true "survival horror" game, Demon's Souls is an "horror" game, as well.

Dead Space is a third person shooter with ugly monsters and dark enviorments. That's it, it's not scary at all (Well, excluding a few sections.)

Amnesia and Penumbra are both HORROR games, to the point you have to pause the game because you're all like "OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD".

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is better once you have L.U.R.K., and Metro 2033 was kind of okay, albeit not awesome.

However, those two games are better than most of what's in this list. Even so, they aren't really well known, which is why, my guess is, they aren't in the list.

Akagi5652d ago

Plants vs. Zombies over Portal?

Neo Nugget5652d ago

It's not an ordered list. Just 25 good single player games.

dirthurts5652d ago

Both fantastic games. Not many games have tried something new this gen but both of these where totally original.

Saladfax5651d ago

It also doesn't quite work to put a primarily multi-player experience game on a list of single-player titles.

rjdofu5651d ago

We're talking about single player games here mate. And you know that Halo series only good with their multiplayer yes?

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing26d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit26d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing26d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
