It’s never been a better time to be a multiplayer gamer, with fantastic titles such as Fortnite, GTA Online, and Call of Duty: Warzone taking the industry by storm. However, the same can be said about single-player experiences, especially in recent years thanks to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Dedicated single-player games are some of the richest, most beloved experiences in the medium, and in this list, we’ll go through the very best. These are the best single-player games.
Is there any game more stylish than Persona 5? Everything about this turn-based RPG is incredible, from the music to the art, and the writing. This game meshes social interactions with turn-based combat/dungeon-crawling, and it’s done so well. The narrative itself is deep and gritty — even uncomfortable at times — but it has a ton of heart. Over the course of this 100-hour RPG, you’ll meet a slew of characters, and collect various Personas, which are similar to Pokémon. You can fuse Persona together, give them new moves, and use them to battle bosses along the way. If you’re into JRPGs, this is an absolute must-play.
