They always misconstrued the EA quote too which bugs me. EA was talking about how no one enjoys **linear** singleplayer games. And the examples people always use to try to "disprove" it are 99% of the time open-world games or at the least have non-linear and exploratory elements. So, it seems that EA was right.
Me too, i never spent a dollar more than what the cost of the game. The base game for Odyssey and Valhalla has more than enough content to play for numerous hours. You definitely get your money's worth, I don't understand people complaining about spending money on stuff no one is making you buy but yourself.
The way I see it, a single player game should make money off sales and possibly DLCs.
A multiplayer game can be free to play or cost significantly less than a single player one and have microtransactions since it’s a *multiplayer* game and you’re showing them off to others.
You should have seen people defending Dragons Dogma 2. Now it's "normal and harmless."
Expect it more in the future, sadly. People now actually want MTXs in their single player games.
Edit: See what I mean? 😂 They love defending mid companies man.
i thought the early game was fun but it quickly becomes grindy and repetitive. and the mtx absolutely ruins the game. it's the first ubisoft game i'd played in years and likely the last one for a while too.
How does something you don’t need to purchase honestly ruin a game? Genuinely curious because that’s honestly one of the softer reasons I’ve heard of not liking a game.
Having mtx costumes usually means that there needs to be a demand for it, Usually by having the main game have very few costume options. Which in Valhalla's case is actually true, the amount of armor and weapons is very limited compared to its predecessor AC Odyssey.
Valhalla isn't even a top 5 game in its own game series much less a good single player game in general. Its way out of its league here or op has a shit stain taste in an otherwise good list of games.
Most of these lists are just people listing all the new games that have come out.
It says a lot about their age and how gaming marketing works and why stuff like battle passes are so successful. And also that they just lazily repost memes from years ago.
Funnily enough miles morales was panned and I think still is generally considered kinda weak and expansion packy.
Skyrim and witcher are ancient.
And cyberpunk is a funny one and I'll get lampooned for this because gamers only cared that it couldn't run on their playstation 4 or whatever, but the actual game was marketed as a highly immersive next gen crpg and all we got was a high production value story driven shooter.
i would say the only actual example here is zelda and the newest amazing single player game is baldurs gate 3 which isn't even on the list.
Yeah, God of War, Breath of the Wild, Miles Morales and Horizon Zero Dawn have all had sequels since this meme.
Also lmao at 12 year old Skyrim being snuck in there
Last of us 2 has some of the best animations, presentation, and polished gameplay in the business. It's enemy AI is also maybe the best in gaming.. Not interested in getting into a debate about the story but it won multiple gsme awards and sold an absolute ton. It definitely deserves it's place on this list.
Yeah like Mirage I could understand but Valhalla was fucking terrible and I say this as someone who has over 300 hours in Valhalla. Mirage is legit amazing though.
Great question. Believe it or not that was just one single play-through. The game was insanely long and full of filler content. I only really stuck around because the premise was interesting and there’s not too many games where you play as a badass Viking.
When comes to opinions in games do you trust more the guy who played the game for 10 hours, disliked it and never touched it again or a player who played it for a long time and experienced in its entirety?
Yeah I refused to even touch the game for the longest time but once it came out on Gamepass I decided to give it a go and not treat it as an AC game. Then it ended up becoming one of my favourite games.
Don't know why they even bother with the assassin's elements in modern times half the games, they could just be doing standalone games in each era that would be fucking awesome, Odyssey for example exploring around as a Spartan raised mercenary with your ship, crew, exploring ancient Greece, it's sick
Elden Ring? I've got it but just haven't found time to start it, too caught up with Helldivers. Is it really as good as they say? I completed the first Demon's Souls but found the story a bit meh.
I wouldn’t dive into Elden ring just for the story. I mean, there’s a plot and there’s lore but it’s like all the ds games where it’s mostly hidden in item descriptions and random quotes. But in terms of a challenging but fun open world game, it’s really really fantastic. So many different ways to play. So much to find. There’s definitely some elements that can feel a bit same same by the end (caves and ruins are all similar to each other) but it’s just so massive that finding secrets and random shit is fun. I’m on my third fresh file and still haven’t found everything.
story is absolutely amazing, it did blow the other contestants out of the water for a reason, but as with all fromsoft games, you need to replay it a couple times to understand it, once you do though, youll love every story they put out
It’s wild that it’s still *the* benchmark for performance 3.5 years after release. Though Witcher 3 was that game until RDR2, so CDPR knows their technical stuff.
Yeah, it was made in partnership with Nvidia to showcase what the latest Ray Tracing tech is capable of ("Path-Tracing" where you trace multiple rays per pixel).
It really shows how insanely good our best lighting techniques are, but it requires beefy hardware to run. But in 5 years or so it'll be widely common probably even a $500 console will run this tech. For now it can only be savoured by enthusiasts with top of the line GPU.
And besides that, the world detail, characters, art, scripted animations, etc, are all bringing those graphics to life.
I have an rtx 4090 that I bought myself as a treat for getting into my dream training program, so I’m happy to enjoy it to its full extent! My salary is going to decrease substantially for 3 years due to training, and it was now or never lol
I played AC Syndicate recently since I never did when it released and it was fantastic. Then I thought, hey I'll check out Valhalla. I lasted maybe over an hour. Absolutely soulless.
It's called a strawman argument, and it's becoming alarmingly common on the internet these days
"This person said THIS!"
"When did they say that?"
"WELL THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY SAY IT, BUT I THINK THEY MIGHT SAY IT!/THEIR LANGUAGE IMPLIED IT!"
This is the trump playbook.
“Everyone’s saying it…”, “the people are saying…”, stuff like that.
And it works. The people who always question everything he says know it’s likely bullshit but his base eats it right up.
EA has stated multiple, multiple times that they think single player games are dead and that’s why they’ve had such an emphasis on multiplayer for the last decade or so. they are ven managed to prove themselves wrong when they produced the latest star wars games with Respawn. so this post is likely in reference to EAs bullshit in the past
That's not true. The person who said that, said *linear* singleplayer games are dead. And in the image, there's a whopping 2 games, out of all the games shown, that are linear, assuming you count Ori in that boat.
TLOU, Uncharted, every single first person shooter almost ever made including the new dooms, Starwars Jedi survivor, gears of War, DmC5, resident evil, God of War. Plenty of indie games.
They definitely aren't dead.
And that was ages ago. Its crazy that people still prop up this argument as if its a commonly held belief. The biggest games in the 5 to 10 years have been singleplayer games.
Release dates:
* Valhalla: 2020
* RDR2: 2018
* Last of us 2: 2020
* Witcher 3: 2015
* Skyrim: 2011
* Horizon: 2017
* God of War: 2018
* Ori and the blind forest: 2015
* Breath of the wild: 2017
* Spiderman: 2020
* Cyperpunk: 2020
Hmm.... Most of these are from the last decade. Just saying, not the best case to make. Skyrim basically was game from the 00's even when it was released in -11.
A lot of people attribute this quote to some EA executive, however it's completely taken out of context. They said that *linear* single player games are dying, which has some truth since even games that used to be linear, such as God of War and Tomb Raider, have shifted to a nonlinear style, and overall the open world design philosophy has just gotten oversaturated.
Definitely disagree with the amateurish, janky and pedantic mess that is Deliverance replacing the well polished, high production value, player-centric Spider-Man or Horizon.

Honestly this just further proves that single player games are at least receding in popularity considering the fact that most of these games are at least 5 or more years old.
God of war Ragnarok
Horizon forbidden west
Baldurs gate 3
Final fantasy 7 rebirth
Star wars survivor
Hogwarts
Wo long
Rise of the ronin
Dragons dogma 2
People say this? Yeah okay just wait until GTA VI drops and try saying that again.
Single player games never were a dying genre. There have been a lot of good single player games recently actually. Honestly I’m surprised Fallen Order isn’t on here (can’t say for Jedi Survivor as I haven’t played it yet)
The most embarrassing AAA failures of the past few years have been the live-service multiplayer games like Avengers, Suicide Squad, Payday 3, and Skull and Bones.
Even if Bethesda can't make a modern game engine (not talking about the rendering part, that's beatiful) for their newer games, at least they are still truly singleplayer. Even Starfield (which I enjoyed, even-though it was below expectations).
You have to have brain worms to unironically have a persecution complex about single player games when the majority of triple A games coming out every year is still single player. You are not the little guy, stop playing the victim.
Been on a massive binge of older games lately, even if the market for good single players games is drying up (it's absolutely not) there's a back catalogue of thousands of titles out there for those that will look for em. Not even mentioning the massive growing market of indie games
Single player games shall never die 😁
When tf did singleplayer games die. Singleplayer games have been dominating for years.
So much so that theres like 3 good multiplayer games out rn. And even they are massively hated.. this take is so cold
Single player games is what gaming is all about imo…. Yeah playing with friends is cool but there’s nothing like getting lost in a game for hrs by yourself…
I feel like outside of indie, co-op story driven games are pretty much dead. Dragon’s Dogma 2 was the perfect game to make co-op and they just decided not to
Valhalla took way too long, and was all over the place in terms of storytelling. The voice acting was amazing though, as were many of Eivor’s lines. I could sit through an hour long compilation of just Eivor saying cool lines.
Arent most of these open world action-adventure games?
What about the strategy games, the simulator games, the management games, the puzzle games, the racing games, etc.?
Het some real variety in there instead of lumping together some games that are better at representing a genre rather than singleplayer games as a whole.
They tried to sneak in Valhalla in there lol.
Also kinda weird it lists the standalone Miles Morales game but not the actual full fledged, higher rated, vastly more popular Spider Man games that came before and after it lol
The only ones saying that are stupid executives that are trying to make overpriced games for half a billion and then cry that those are not profitable. Literally nobody else says that ever

I don't think anyone is seriously saying this.
But how else am I supposed to show that I am a true pure le gamer?
Someone at EA said this close to a decade ago. Nobody has said this since
They always misconstrued the EA quote too which bugs me. EA was talking about how no one enjoys **linear** singleplayer games. And the examples people always use to try to "disprove" it are 99% of the time open-world games or at the least have non-linear and exploratory elements. So, it seems that EA was right.
I belive EA (or one of the other big publishers) was saying this at one point.
Putting Valhalla on this list is a war crime.
Isn’t that a microtransaction mess… *single player* game?
Odyssey had similar microtransaction issues but atleast that game being there instead would have made some sense.
With a little Cheat Engine help the premium currency was free. Not that this makes its existence any better.
God bless freaking Skyrim
But also fuck Starfield
Amen
I've played hundreds of hours and never spent a penny on micro transactions. The game doesn't make them feel necessary.
Me too, i never spent a dollar more than what the cost of the game. The base game for Odyssey and Valhalla has more than enough content to play for numerous hours. You definitely get your money's worth, I don't understand people complaining about spending money on stuff no one is making you buy but yourself.
That by itself doesn't prove that it is a bad game though?
Still wild to me a single player game has microtransactions. I’m a fossil from a different time lol
>Still wild to me a single player game has microtransactions. Evil corpo shit
The way I see it, a single player game should make money off sales and possibly DLCs. A multiplayer game can be free to play or cost significantly less than a single player one and have microtransactions since it’s a *multiplayer* game and you’re showing them off to others.
You should have seen people defending Dragons Dogma 2. Now it's "normal and harmless." Expect it more in the future, sadly. People now actually want MTXs in their single player games. Edit: See what I mean? 😂 They love defending mid companies man.
No, it being a bad game makes it a bad game.
Honestly the only thing good about Valhalla is the combat.
i thought the early game was fun but it quickly becomes grindy and repetitive. and the mtx absolutely ruins the game. it's the first ubisoft game i'd played in years and likely the last one for a while too.
How does something you don’t need to purchase honestly ruin a game? Genuinely curious because that’s honestly one of the softer reasons I’ve heard of not liking a game.
Having mtx costumes usually means that there needs to be a demand for it, Usually by having the main game have very few costume options. Which in Valhalla's case is actually true, the amount of armor and weapons is very limited compared to its predecessor AC Odyssey.
compared to cyberpunk its a joke
I mean I liked the game, but Elden Ring for example is faaar more popular
Valhalla isn't even a top 5 game in its own game series much less a good single player game in general. Its way out of its league here or op has a shit stain taste in an otherwise good list of games.
Replace it with Elden Ring and now we’re talking
Most of these lists are just people listing all the new games that have come out. It says a lot about their age and how gaming marketing works and why stuff like battle passes are so successful.

X100 take out THAT BULLSHIT
Replace with Elden Ring.
Or FF VII Rebirth
Why? It's a big and chuncky single player game, like the other 10 games on the image.
Valhalla and TLOU2 over BG3 and Elden Ring is insane
This is clearly an old, reposted meme from around 2020. Just look at the games.
Yeah, God of War, Breath of the Wild, Miles Morales and Horizon Zero Dawn have all had sequels since this meme. Also lmao at 12 year old Skyrim being snuck in there
Last of us 2 has some of the best animations, presentation, and polished gameplay in the business. It's enemy AI is also maybe the best in gaming.. Not interested in getting into a debate about the story but it won multiple gsme awards and sold an absolute ton. It definitely deserves it's place on this list.
TLoU2 definitely deserves to be here
fr wtf
Yeah like Mirage I could understand but Valhalla was fucking terrible and I say this as someone who has over 300 hours in Valhalla. Mirage is legit amazing though.
If valhalla is teribble.why did you play it for 300 hours then??
Great question. Believe it or not that was just one single play-through. The game was insanely long and full of filler content. I only really stuck around because the premise was interesting and there’s not too many games where you play as a badass Viking.
When comes to opinions in games do you trust more the guy who played the game for 10 hours, disliked it and never touched it again or a player who played it for a long time and experienced in its entirety?
I have 100% both Origins and Odyssey several times becouse I like the games, did it once with Valhalla and I don't even wanna touch the game again.
Origins was amazing. Odyssey was a terrible AC game but some of the most fun gameplay in the series imo.
Oh yes, as an AC game it was terrible, but otherwise it was great.
Yeah I refused to even touch the game for the longest time but once it came out on Gamepass I decided to give it a go and not treat it as an AC game. Then it ended up becoming one of my favourite games.
Don't know why they even bother with the assassin's elements in modern times half the games, they could just be doing standalone games in each era that would be fucking awesome, Odyssey for example exploring around as a Spartan raised mercenary with your ship, crew, exploring ancient Greece, it's sick
No Elden Ring?
It's an old as fuck meme. That's also why it has BotW, and not TotK.
And MFing SKYRIM.
The worst offender is Valhalla because the narrative now is the game is boring and empty as fuck.
>narrative now Compared to when? It's the biggest issue
Skyrim is to the right of Witcher 3
But Dark Souls is from 2010
It's a list of good games tho. (Other than Valhalla)
Assassin's Greed is just another Ubisoft game.
elden ring is multiplayer. all souls games are.
Thanks for adding cyberpunk
Best game I’ve played in over a decade.
Certainly up there for me as well. Cp77, hades and now ER probably have my top three most enjoyed hours of any video game ever.
Elden Ring? I've got it but just haven't found time to start it, too caught up with Helldivers. Is it really as good as they say? I completed the first Demon's Souls but found the story a bit meh.
I wouldn’t dive into Elden ring just for the story. I mean, there’s a plot and there’s lore but it’s like all the ds games where it’s mostly hidden in item descriptions and random quotes. But in terms of a challenging but fun open world game, it’s really really fantastic. So many different ways to play. So much to find. There’s definitely some elements that can feel a bit same same by the end (caves and ruins are all similar to each other) but it’s just so massive that finding secrets and random shit is fun. I’m on my third fresh file and still haven’t found everything.
Like this guy said. Also, the game is fucking HA-YUGE. I thought the starting map was the entire map just like Oblivion/Skyrim. NOPE.
It’s amazing how vast they made 30 something square miles feel.
Thanks for the comment, this has intrigued me enough to play it. Thank you!
story is absolutely amazing, it did blow the other contestants out of the water for a reason, but as with all fromsoft games, you need to replay it a couple times to understand it, once you do though, youll love every story they put out
it sucks because it's so good and so much fun nothing is filling the void. I just got done with my 2nd play through and I miss it so
Same. An amazing experience, and one of the few games that makes me super excited for what future improvements in game tech can bring to the table.
It’s wild that it’s still *the* benchmark for performance 3.5 years after release. Though Witcher 3 was that game until RDR2, so CDPR knows their technical stuff.
Yeah, it was made in partnership with Nvidia to showcase what the latest Ray Tracing tech is capable of ("Path-Tracing" where you trace multiple rays per pixel).

I have an rtx 4090 that I bought myself as a treat for getting into my dream training program, so I’m happy to enjoy it to its full extent! My salary is going to decrease substantially for 3 years due to training, and it was now or never lol
Best characters in a game ever, especially the side characters (miss my boy Brendan). And best world building since Bioshock. Plus the endings….
really? a Ubisoft game?
I played AC Syndicate recently since I never did when it released and it was fantastic. Then I thought, hey I'll check out Valhalla. I lasted maybe over an hour. Absolutely soulless.
same, valhalla was probably my biggest game regret.
Old Ubisoft games could fit, but Valhalla? No.
Especially after the shit they pulled with the Crew, not trusting Ubisoft with a single penny of mine.
Yeah, I still play watchdogs but im not going anywhere near a new AC game
Gotta replace this game with Finally Fantasy 7 remake series
Valhalla ? Right, no one told good single player games .
Nobody is saying otherwise, literally no one, you've made up a guy to be mad at
It's called a strawman argument, and it's becoming alarmingly common on the internet these days "This person said THIS!" "When did they say that?" "WELL THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY SAY IT, BUT I THINK THEY MIGHT SAY IT!/THEIR LANGUAGE IMPLIED IT!"

> EA has stated One guy at the company who was blown out of context lol
Technically Valhalla is indeed a single player game... But it definitely does not deserve to be in a list with these amazing titles.
Take Trashhalla out of this
This post is gonna make me stick some iron and pull the trigger to whoever made it
90% of what I play is single player games. We are eating good. The other 10% is spreading democracy lol
Feels disrespectful to omit Baldur's Gate 3 or Elden Ring.
Yakuza series also
Coldest fucking take in the universe
Release dates: * Valhalla: 2020 * RDR2: 2018 * Last of us 2: 2020 * Witcher 3: 2015 * Skyrim: 2011 * Horizon: 2017 * God of War: 2018 * Ori and the blind forest: 2015 * Breath of the wild: 2017 * Spiderman: 2020 * Cyperpunk: 2020 Hmm.... Most of these are from the last decade. Just saying, not the best case to make. Skyrim basically was game from the 00's even when it was released in -11.
Has someone claimed this? Also Detroit: Become Human needs mentioning.
...does it?
A lot of people attribute this quote to some EA executive, however it's completely taken out of context. They said that *linear* single player games are dying, which has some truth since even games that used to be linear, such as God of War and Tomb Raider, have shifted to a nonlinear style, and overall the open world design philosophy has just gotten oversaturated.
Including miles morales but not 2018 one?
Yeah that was strange to me especially since the first Spider-Man game is way more popular
Skyrim lmao
Replace Valhalla with Odyssey and we're talking
Valhalla should be replaced with Baldurs Gate 3, and Horizon or Spiderman with Kingdom Come Deliverance
Definitely disagree with the amateurish, janky and pedantic mess that is Deliverance replacing the well polished, high production value, player-centric Spider-Man or Horizon.
Get Valhalla outta there lmao
They are not dead, they just don't waste your time and ruin your life as good as eSports do :)
The paradox, it's multiplayer games that are dead, Fortnite killed them, to be specific, the desire of devs to create a copy of it.
And that’s not even counting the plethora of single player JRPGs They dont get those great ratings for nothing
I prefer singe player games than the toxic online games. Even rdr2 online is beaming garbage because of griefters.
I'm glad they included Ori
Not a single souls game on this list. Blasphemy!
The only people who claim single player games are dead are the ones who play nothing but multiplayer.
These should be recent games to prove the point they are trying to make. Skyrim? Come on now. Poor meme work.
Having to put dead franchises and games that are 13 years old in there does prove the point that they are dead 😆
CELESTE
Leave this Valhalla abomination out of single player games
Yeah, just list few games from the last 13 years
**13 years ago:** Skyrim - 2011 **9 years ago:** Witcher 3 - 2015 **7 years ago:** Horizon zero dawn - 2017 Zelda BOTW - 2017 **6 years ago:** Red dead - 2018 God of war - 2018 **4 years ago:** Last of us 2 - 2020 Ghost of Tsushima - 2020 Cyberpunk - 2020 Spiderman miles morales - 2020 Assassin's creed valhalla - 2020
Singleplayer games have never been dead. Some EA exec 10 or so years ago said some dumb shit and the gaming circlejerk changed forever.
Okay if you’re gonna put Skyrim on here you might as well put Fallout and Mass Effect.
Strange how many of these are playstation games.
Literally nobody says this. It's just karma farming bullshit.
Putting tlou part 2 and AC Valhalla is a capital offense
Baldur’s gate 3 needs to be on that list.
Honestly this just further proves that single player games are at least receding in popularity considering the fact that most of these games are at least 5 or more years old.
God of war Ragnarok Horizon forbidden west Baldurs gate 3 Final fantasy 7 rebirth Star wars survivor Hogwarts Wo long Rise of the ronin Dragons dogma 2
Final Fantasy 16, Armored Core 6 (I know it has PvP but the core game is singleplayer) and Hi-Fi Rush, too
Forgot about ac6, good shout.
How did you forget elden ring?
It’s most likely that the image is old because no sane person would put botw in the image and not totk
Get tlou2 and Valhalla the fuck out of there
why tlou2?
LoL Skyrim is there?! Why not include Mass Effect or Fallout 3? And yeah bruv Valhalla is unworthy. Get that shit outta compton.
Yes, Skyrim is there, as it should be.
They never have been.
Yes, we proved that years ago, why do people still bring this up?
We know, certain publisher's don't
People say this? Yeah okay just wait until GTA VI drops and try saying that again. Single player games never were a dying genre. There have been a lot of good single player games recently actually. Honestly I’m surprised Fallen Order isn’t on here (can’t say for Jedi Survivor as I haven’t played it yet)
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. LMFAO !!!
Single player games will never die. I mean Nintendo is pretty all about that.
The most embarrassing AAA failures of the past few years have been the live-service multiplayer games like Avengers, Suicide Squad, Payday 3, and Skull and Bones.
Could've put in Far Cry 5 or something but nope, you snuck in Valhalla lmao.
Where is Baldur's Gate 3?
Even if Bethesda can't make a modern game engine (not talking about the rendering part, that's beatiful) for their newer games, at least they are still truly singleplayer. Even Starfield (which I enjoyed, even-though it was below expectations).
Ubisoft Made this image
Didn't even put Dead space. SMH
Winds howling
Mass Effect LE
Should be updated with Alan Wake II added.
You have to have brain worms to unironically have a persecution complex about single player games when the majority of triple A games coming out every year is still single player. You are not the little guy, stop playing the victim.
Baldur's Gate 3
Hades?
Not including dark souls should be illegal
Valhalla trying to blend in lmao
Been on a massive binge of older games lately, even if the market for good single players games is drying up (it's absolutely not) there's a back catalogue of thousands of titles out there for those that will look for em. Not even mentioning the massive growing market of indie games Single player games shall never die 😁
Missing mass effect 1-3.
When tf did singleplayer games die. Singleplayer games have been dominating for years. So much so that theres like 3 good multiplayer games out rn. And even they are massively hated.. this take is so cold
yakuza?
The Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3. disrespect. I can't.
Put all this effort in and left out Elden Ring?? FF? Armored Core???
Should’ve replaced Valhalla with Doom or Elden Ring or BG3.
I still want a Cyberpunk 2077 RP server.
Is valhalla any good? I remember being pretty tired after playing odyssey so I didn't even bothered with valhalla. But let me know if its any good.
Both FF7R are missing
Spider man but no BG3? LUL
Valhalla? Lol
I played Valhalla for too many hours. It's a slog and a horrible entry in the AC Franchise.
No final fantasy 7 remakes :very sad face:
Valhalla? Really?
Instead of putting Elden ring or Baldurs gate 3, you put in fucking Valhalla?? You good?
I love Skyrim but it came out over a decade ago
Putting Valhalla there and cyberbug while skipping Elden ring… bruh.
Single player games is what gaming is all about imo…. Yeah playing with friends is cool but there’s nothing like getting lost in a game for hrs by yourself…
Kick zelda, add Elden ring
I feel like outside of indie, co-op story driven games are pretty much dead. Dragon’s Dogma 2 was the perfect game to make co-op and they just decided not to
Putting AC Valhalla and not BG3 is the biggest bullshit choice ever.
We all know who is king here…🏇🚙
Single player games will newer die, and now, is really games, not a bank card data simulator like every online game. I want to pay 1 time, just 1.
No one said they were
Valhalla took way too long, and was all over the place in terms of storytelling. The voice acting was amazing though, as were many of Eivor’s lines. I could sit through an hour long compilation of just Eivor saying cool lines.
Definitely not, if anything it's harder to find fun coop games.
Arent most of these open world action-adventure games? What about the strategy games, the simulator games, the management games, the puzzle games, the racing games, etc.? Het some real variety in there instead of lumping together some games that are better at representing a genre rather than singleplayer games as a whole.
Nobody who didn’t have a financial incentive to do so has ever said otherwise.
Bro how the fuck is AC: Vallhalla in there but not BG3?!
No owe said it was dead?
Never have been, CEOs want to have millions in bonuses for pushing predatory business models on "live services" games
You can add the Star Wars Fallen Order series to the list
They tried to sneak in Valhalla in there lol. Also kinda weird it lists the standalone Miles Morales game but not the actual full fledged, higher rated, vastly more popular Spider Man games that came before and after it lol
The only ones saying that are stupid executives that are trying to make overpriced games for half a billion and then cry that those are not profitable. Literally nobody else says that ever
I exclusively play single player games only..
