Best singleplayer game around right now?

[Adam Jensen]

I see a lot of people mentioning the Witcher. I'm thinking of getting Witcher 1 and 2 off of http://www.gog.com/ when I get home next week. Worth it?

diablo 3... but i got a shit ton of a single player games that ive never finished

skyrim, borderlands, just to name a few....but yea i find diablo 3 to be the most "addicting" for lack of a better word right now

[Tokas]

Diablo 3, if it's considered single player... no idea, it's kinda online single player.

I cant beleive know one has mentioned The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind, one of the great elder scrolls games, hey it might be a little old but good games are timeless !

[Venziir]

Ah yeah i've played through Arkham Asylum , which one is better?

Asylum is better by so much that it's not even funny. City tries giving you the illusion of having a giant place to roam - when in fact the "city" itself is tiny. It uses WAY too many villains, which makes it feel crowded and silly, and the entire concept of Arkham City is idiotic. That said, City is still a great game - Asylum is just that much better.

Witcher 1 is great, and I'm sure Witcher 2 is as well, however they changed the combat system a lot and I SUCK at the Witcher 2, I constantly die outside Flotsam, so I rage quit hah.

Personally I like going back and hitting up some old NES, SNES, SEGA, consoles when I get bored. For some reason I can never get enough of Magical Drop on the SNES, or Columns on the SEGA. If you are looking for an RPG, the playstation era rpg's are still the best single single player rpg's in existence in my opinion. For FPS style games I still greatly enjoy HALO, and HALO 2 as well as Star Wars Battlefront more than most that have come out recently. Otherwise as others have said there is many indie games out there, and there really is no reason whatsoever to spend $60 on a so called 'quality' single player game with the sheer number of other options out there.

My favorite singleplayer game the last decade is witcher 2 without a doubt atleast,

[Deleted]

Well you had one there, Rage it's a great game a bit short but lots of fun. There is Portal 1 and 2, The witcher 2. I'm playing a game called psychonauts right now it's a lot of fun you could check that out. Amnesia the dark descent maybe? You could play through the Mass effect serie (1 2 and 3) they're all great and they follow the same story going from the first game to the last (obviously durr). There's a bunch of call of duty games those are always fun to play through. Crysis 1 and 2 are quite fun. I could name a lot more but i think that gives you some ideas atleast .

So to re-cap games are:

Portal 1 and 2
The witcher 2
Psychonauts
Amnesia the dark descent
Mass effect 1 2 and 3
Call of duty mw 1 2 and 3 aswell as cod black ops
Crysis 1 and 2

Also like someone else mentioned there's a ton of great games on older consoles and you can get your hands on those ''cough'' legally easily, just get a gamepad aswell and you'll have a better experience

Humble indy bundle, look it up, but be quick, the action only lasts a few more days.

Deus Ex (http://www.giantbomb.com/deus-ex/61-17533/)

And of course some of the already mentioned games. But I personally think that the classic Deus Ex beats a lot of today's games, even Skyrim.

[N-7]

The Last Remnant square enix best RPG in the past few years.

[Deleted]

skyrim really is the champ of single player tbh

[Kaibhan]

The Stranger. Sit on your arm until it falls asleep then....go to town.

[Irony]

Please do not buy Rage, it was bland.

If you're gonna be playing on PC. Half Life, Saints Row, Deus Ex, La Noire, Thief series, Super Meat boy and Arkham City.

[McNeil]

You really need to mention which genres you'd like to play, or I'll end up summing 500 games

[Nebthet]

Portal 2, Bastion, Skyrim.

[zoefschildpad]

Deus ex: Human Revolution is my favorite of the past year

[Pivotal]

I'd recommand Dead space 2, really awesome

Haha, yeah, it's beyond me how they managed to turn a bad combat system in the worst possible combat system :P

Skyrim. Nuff said. That should keep you busy for 100+ hours
