With the release of Wolfenstein 2 right around the corner, many of us have come to a sobering realisation. Where have all the story based, single player games gone? Indeed, as Wolfenstein 2 looms, it almost feels like a special treat from a bygone age. The gamers among us with an ear to the ground will have likely seen lots of news outlets reporting on this sudden and concerning phenomenon. However, in this piece, let’s take a look at the web in as broad a spectrum as possible and take it all in at once.
Also added this month: The Evil Within, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Paradise Killer, Dishonored: Definitive Edition.
Riders republic. Nice. I never bought it but played beta twice. Good fun openworld game.
I kept getting caught up in other games so I never got around to buying Doom Eternal. If it's good I'll still buy it so i can keep it. The reboot was awesome, i think i played through it about 5 times, and platinumed it.
A whole lotta Bethesda titles in this lineup
Sackboy also got included as well despite already being as Essential title
Spiderman is in the titles leaving Extra in May. Guess 1st party titles aren't guaranteed to stay
Great Month, own most of them but looking fwd to trying monstor boy, nice sto have EW in my collection now and some wolfeinstein.
Despite lacking Call of Duty, the Nintendo Switch has many great shooters to replace it. Here are some of the best shooters on Switch.
Anyone else have a small but noticeable delay in aiming on Borderlands 2? Anytime I move the aiming reticle, there is maybe a quarter of a second (250ms) delay before it moves. Happens in both Handheld and Docked.
I haven’t bought one shooter for Switch. It’s just to weak to play them good enough. I really don’t play my Switch at all anymore. Going to sell them and wait for Switch 2.
BLG writes, "There can be only one best Wolfenstein game. Since the franchise’s debut in 1981, the Wolfenstein series has graced our gaming platforms for over forty years. It’s hard to believe, but it’s true! In honor of that legacy, we’re going to list some of the best Wolfenstein games and the worst. That’s right: it’s the Wolfenstein games ranked."
Scheiße! Nein.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the best in the series. After that:
New Order
New Colossus
Old Blood
I really wish they'd remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein from the ground up. Easily the best of them all.
Nope, moving on.
Says who? My first gaming project is single player first, with couch co op. Must be the "new thing" to question something that isn't going anywhere any time soon.
Can't be serious. Didn't Nintendo Switch just score big with Zelda and Mario Odyssey also looks like a big hit. Metal Gear Solid, 5 Final Fantasy 15, Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, The Last of us 2, Days Gone, Final Fantasy 7 remake, Resident Evil 7, The Walking Dead New frontier, Horizon Zero Dawn, Falloiut 4, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, Dying Light, Kingdom Hearts 3, Death Stranding, Resident Evil 2 remake, Life is Strange, Outlast 2, Nioh, GTA 5. The list can go on and on for 1000 more games. Pretty much the entire gaming industry of the most popular best selling hits. So how the f*ck is it dying? I mean think about what you're saying.
I think this story all started with Xbox getting their asses kicked and not having too many good single player exclusives. That's about it.
A little late to the party, no?
No, good single player games are.
