What are your must play best single player PC games?

[black]

As far as I know, there is Witcher, Elden Ring and Dead Space. But I'm looking for something new :) Do you have any must play single player PC games?

[mugglesam]

You've already named some classics! If you're hunting for some fresh adventures to dive into, here are a few must-play single-player games that might just capture your imagination:

Cyberpunk 2077 - After a rocky start, it's been updated significantly and offers a deep, immersive experience in a sprawling, neon-lit cityscape.
Hades - A rogue-like dungeon crawler that has a great mix of action, strategy, and storytelling.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - From the creators of Dark Souls, this game offers a challenging yet rewarding combat experience with an engaging storyline set in a beautifully crafted world inspired by feudal Japan.

Let me know if any of these catch your eye, or if you have a particular genre you're more interested in!

Don't know if you are looking for FPS games exclusively, or video games in general so I'll plug the ones I really like! They aren't new, but a lot of them are forgotten but underrated.

Space Empires IV: 4x turn-based strategy game from 2000. You can play it hotseat or against the AI. It's an old favorite of mine that was MY CHILDHOOD.

Quake 3 Arena: 1999 FPS that by today's standards may be nothing special, but I keep it because of all the fun custom maps and mods you can add to it to give the game new life.

Doom 3: Probably the worst received out of the whole Doom franchise (save for it's cult following), the ability to make and play custom maps and mods for it makes it a keeper when it's the only game I even know about that replaces control panels operated by a single button with interactive GUI's (in layman's terms: a computer screen within the game)

Civ 4: Colonization: My second favorite TBS 4x game.

Shrek Super Party: Personal favorite party game inspired by Mario Party, but scaled down with far fewer game mechanics.

Star Wars: Battlefront 1 & 2 (2004 and 2005 versions): Oldie but goodie, the ability to make and play custom maps and mods for these are why I continue to play them

Star Wars: Republic Commando: Made the rounds when it came out, though it's all but faded to faint nostalgia for those familiar with it. Really good single player game, but the multiplayer has been dead for over 14 years now. I never mastered doing this, but if you can make custom maps and mods the way some people have, this game gets to be a lot more fun.

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy: Another great game that was super popular when it came out until about 2010. But believe me, it's a really well-made Star Wars FPS that included all the features Jedi Outcast left to be desired. I find it annoying you can't have more than one person operate a vehicle like in Battlefront 1 & 2, and that dipping the nose of aircraft while in flight gets the ship to try to land, but other than that it's worth it. Many people over the years released kickass mods and maps for the game that were mindblowing!

Unreal Tournament 2004: Like Quake 3 Arena, very moddable and can play custom maps. In some ways Quake 3 was better, but for the most part I think UT2k4 is the better game.

Unreal Tournament 3: Graphics are more impressive than UT2k4, though it lacks a lot of the features that made UT2k4 fun (Invasion mode to name a big one). Luckily someone made an Invasion mod so I can still have the same fun in this game.

Great taste, Half-Life is missing but other than that ton of gems in here!

[BazookaTrouper]

@sawno While I've never played any game from the HL series (GMod doesn't count) from what little I know of it it's pretty good and it's nostalgic to me for the "Gmod idiot box" and Elliot goes to School" series on YouTube back during the late 2000's.

[sawno]

You owe it to yourself to try out Black Mesa Source, as a Doom 3 fan you will feel right at home. Doom 3 basically copied it.

[NamerOfStars]

What genre? If it's FPSes, try the Dark Forces series. And if you liked Dead Space, you'll LOVE System Shock 2, the game it was a ripoff of.

[SueShe]

I don't play PC games but I regularly use one single games for education and learning purposes only.

I am way beyond the stage where I play computer games. The great complaint I have about those games is that most of them, if not the majority, are violent murder games that glorify assassination, death and glorify those murderers.

[Siri137]

Actually no, they're not. Most PC games aren't violent (ex. city building games, management games).

[SueShe]

@Siri137 Agreed, you will find the occasional non-violent game but if you check which games are top sellers, most of them are the murder games and way on the bottom of the sales volume you will find those you are referring to. Sadly!

[el_Te_de_la_Rosa]

The Sims. Other games that are related to puzzles and adventures: Dracular, Sherlock Holmes, etc. I miss the time I had time for those games all day. Hahaha.

It's old... I know.

[NewgodOmega]

I used to play games back before 2010, I got myself a pc and recently started playing super old titles like black mesa and serious sam 3 cod advance battlefield 3,4
I dont take them seriously enough to have any Favs

[Siri137]

For a while I was hooked on a game called 'Spaceflight Simulator'. You get to design and build rockets, and send them off to places like Mars and Venus.

[Astarlessnightsky]

This depends on your preferences regarding genre.

There are a bunch of really good games but some games may not entice you even though they are fricking good.

[BCRanger10]

Respect the classics!

[BazookaTrouper]

I heard that in Fillmore's voice

[BCRanger10]

@BazookaTrouper?

[BazookaTrouper]

Fillmore from the 2006 Cars movie.

[BCRanger10]

@BazookaTrouper I forgot that's what hid name was.

[jshm2]

The classics.

Diablo series, Doom series and even some of the older abandonware stuff can be pretty good - if you have the patience.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Last game I enjoyed on the pc was a flight simulator back in the win95 era!

[Superreader]

My boyfriend really likes Red Dead and Stellaris

[DarkWinterNights]

Cyberpunk 2077 in its current state is definitely must play. Baldurs Gate 3 is too. Both are some of my favorite games of all time.

[normalice]

Witchfire, though it is still in the pre-release phase.

[HaveNoName]

The last game I ever played was Leisure Suit Larry In the Land of the Lounge Lizards on MS-DOS. That was probably the last game that was able to retain my interest.

[Kayla45]

I enjoy playing Minecraft solo on PC, Java Edition.

[David94358]

Originally was an Xbox game but both portal and portal 2 games are great and are on steam

[JesseP1nk]

Easy...

[grega239]

Gothic 1,2+expansion and 3.

Thou 1 and 2 are hard as fuck due to their design.

[sawno]

Black Mesa Source if you like FPS games

[FunkyMonkee]

Mahjong and Free Cell.

[Yannae]

Monster Hunter World.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Thats online co-op

[Yannae]

@TheSpaceGnome Not if you play offline. I did it solo.

[Yannae]

@TheSpaceGnome co op is a choice

[TheSpaceGnome]

This is true.
