23. Returnal
Developer: Housemarque
Platform(s): PS5, PC
Part old arcade school shoot 'em up, part 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima-esque narrative opus, here is a bizarre, ambitious, and utterly enthralling ride. As we point out in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Returnal review, it’s also unrelentingly brutal. Light𒁏 on save points and big on punishment, this all-consuming PS5 exclusive definitely 🏅isn’t easy.
Yet, thanks to its slick-feeling movement, all-consuming sense of atmosphere, and bri🔯l♊liant sense of intrigue, it’s a game that constantly beckons you to return. Blending a sickeningly detailed Aliens-esque aesthetic with some of the most satisfying combat this side of Platinum games, this story-led sci-fi roguelike is a creation that’s refreshingly unique. Whether you’re new to the genre or are an old hand, Returnal is a gorgeous, ambitious, and completely essential experience.
22. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Developer: Respawn Entertainment
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S
If you’re itching to wield a virtual lightsaber after binge-watching The Mandalorian, then look no further. Taking its cues from Dark Souls and Hollow Knight, Jedi Fallen Order is a giddy blend of Uncharted-esque cinematic adventure ꦚand challenging Metroidvania. Yet more cruciaꦍlly for Star Wars stans, the tale it tells is entirely canon.
Featuring characters from Rogue One and tying neatly into the events of Rebels, the Bad Batch, and The Clone Wars, Fallen Order is a must for anyone who’s found themselves falling back in love with a galaxy far, far away. It's easily one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Star Wars games around, and the perfect title to visit before you pick up the new sci-fi adventure, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Outlaws.
For more details on this single-player masterpiece, read our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order review.
21. Cyberpunk 2077
Developer: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red
Platform(s): PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
It may not have got off to the best launch, but make no mistake – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077 is still well worth your time and has rightfully earned its spot on our list of the best single-player games. With characters you won't soon forget, a customizable charact♎er in V, and some impressive updates that have improved the overall experience exponentially, Cyberpunk’s Night City is an undeniably an exhilarating place to explore.
Featuring a brilliant soundtrack, industry-leading voice acting, and enough side quests to shake a Bloody Baron at, Cyberpunk 2077 is about as epic as an open-world epic can get. You won't regret stepping into the shoes of V and getting to known Johnny Silverhand played by Keanu Reeves, and the excellent 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史ꦕ查询:Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty expansion jꦫust gives more reasons to ওgive it a go if you haven't already.
Read our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077 review for more insights.
20. Outer Wilds
Developer: Mobius Digital
Platform(s): PC🌟, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintend♓o Switch
Not to be confused with Obsidian's sci-fi RPG, The Outer Worlds (more on that later), Mobius Digital's indie darling is also set in the far-flung reaches of space. Yet it offers an entirely diff👍erent narrative experience to the game it shares two-thirds of a title with, and indeed any other title out there.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Outer Wilds puts you in the astronautical boots of a newly trained spacefarer for an alien race, but it just so happens that your first day on ꦚthe job also coincides with a solar supernova that wipes out the entire galaxy. I'll refrain from spoiling anything else beyond that, but suffice to say that what follows is a daring, deviously clever investigation into time and space that will have you awe-inspired from the moment you take off.
19. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Developer: Square Enix
Platform(s): PS5
After Final Fantasy 7 Remake delivered a memorable reimagining of the opening section of the beloved 1997 RPG, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth takes us out into the wider world beyond Midgar. Building on what came before with some great improvements to side content such as Odd Jobs and minigames, Rebirth follows Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barret as they set out in pursuit of Sephiroth. With op🐻en areas to explore, the follow-up allows us to spend more time with the lovable cas💃t and get stuck into the action with new synergy abilities and skills.
If you want to know about one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best JRPGs and a stand-out single-player game, check out our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth review.
18. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered
Developer: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bethesda Game Studios / Virtuos
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5
Almost two decades after it first released in 2006, Oblivion is back in style. That's right, you can relive the magic of Cyrodill or experience the adventure for the first time in a remaster that's worthy of the amulet of kings. Bethesda brings to life an open-world packed with things to do and discover, and while there's a big central questline to follow, you'll be free to go off the beaten path pretty much from the get-go and see what the sprawling landscapes have🎃 to offer you.
With some memorable expansions to top it all off, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Eld🥃er Sc🍰rolls 4: Oblivion remastered is a welcome comeback for what is one very enjoyable RPG, and it's easily on💜e of the best single-player games around.
17. Pokemon Legends Arceus
Developer: Nintendo
Platform(s): Switch
Pokemon Legends Arceus shows us a different time in the history of Pokemon and shakes up theꦅ formula by putting us in the Survey Corps. Instead of setting out to earn badges, you're instead tasked with putting together the very first Pokedex and researching all of the critters that roam out in the wild. Set in the Hisui region, which will soon become known as Sinnoh, you get to catch Pokemon in open areas dotted around the map.
With a satisfying sense of progression, some new region-specific Pokemon, and a chance to see a new side to the lore, Pokemon Legends Arceus feels like a welcome breath of fresh air for the long-running series. This is a must-play and one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Pokemon games that we've seen in a while.
If you're still unsure about picking it up, head to our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Legends Arceus review!
16. Psychonauts 2
Developer: Double Fine Productions
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5
Psychonauts 2 is an unli𝔉kely sequel to a cult classic that was released in 2005, funded by fans in 2015, and published in 2021. To this end, Double Fine walked a winding path to get Psychonauts 2 into the world – something w⛦hich is reflected in the consistency, quality, and unabashed weirdness of the overall experience.
That is to say; Psychonauts 2 is 🐓what you get when a talented team hಌas no choice but to go all-in on the hand the house has dealt it. And, wow, was this vision of a sequel worth the decade-and-a-half wait!
If you couldn't tell already by our glowing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Psychonauts 2 review, we love this title, and it fully deserves its spot on our list of the best single-player games around.
15. The Outer Worlds
Developer: Obsidian
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Switch
If you've never played an Obsidian game before, you're in for a treat with this masterpiece of a single-player game. Listen, there is a reason we gave this title a top score in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Outer Worlds review, alright. The studio's 2019 RPG is a ragtag, zigzap tour through the future of the final frontier, one where corporations are in control, and it's as joﷺvial and joyous inꦑ tone as it is cynical in satire.
Obsidian's talent for classic role-playing immersion is firing at full throttle here, complete with branching storylines, deep and robust character customization, and a whole cast of companions to befriend and explore the galaxy with. And with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Outer Worlds 2 in the works, it looks like we have more adventures in a "new star꧟ system🧔" to look for to.
14. Resident Evil 2 Remake
Developer: Capcom
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Switch
Capcom's initial announcement of Resident Evil 2 Rema♓ke was natur🐎ally met with some skepticism at first, but we couldn't have been more off-base. The studio's loving recreation of its '90s survival horror classic is the perfect example of how to modernize an old game while staying true to its roots.
Leon's harrowing gauntlet through the Raccoon City Police Department is one of the scariest, toughest campaigns we've ever had the joy of running through. It's completely accessible to series newcomers yet still littered with Easter eggs to delight the Resi faithful. This is how horror is done, and proves just how much life there is in all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Resident Evil games yet.
For more spooky fun, read our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Resident Evil 2 Remake review.
13. Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Developer: Insomniac Games
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, PC
The current crop of consoles may have got off to a bit of a shaky start, but Spider-Man: Miles Morales was a clear launch highlight. Picking up where 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man left off, this 15-hour standalone adventure puts players in the shoes of the other Spider-Man.
Not only is Insomniac’s secon💯d Spidey outing drop-dead gorgeous, it’s an utter joy to play, too. Stepping up the level of cinematic storytelling and giving players a toybox f♏ull of new suit upgrades to play with, Miles Morales’ Christmas-time Harlem is an utter joy to swing through.
If you’re after something fun and story-led, then you can find out more in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: Miles Morales review.
12. Metaphor: ReFantazio
Developer: ATLUS
Platform(s): PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S
Metaphor ReFantazio isn't just one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best games of 2024; it's also a JRPG that will make you fall in love with the genre, thanks to its stylish direction, mature story, and snappy gameplaওy. Set in the fantastical world of the United Kingdom of Euchronia, there's mass unrest after the King is assassinated and his son is put under a curse. You play as the hero who works to save his cursed friend and keep the throne away from nefarious forces.
As you progress, you'll not only have a well of gameplay mechanics to explore, such as raising bonds with your companions and unlocking new powerful forms (called Archetypes), but you'll be drawn into the world that's rife with inequality, power struggles, and fear. Metaphor ReFantazio takes the calendar and bonding system used in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Persona games andꦛ gets rid of all the filler and fat. It's stunning, streamlined, and has 80-plus🐽 hours of single-player magic.
For more information on this must-play, read our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metaphor ReFantazio review.
11. Fallout: New Vegas
Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
Platform(s): PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Fallout: New Vegas is one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Fallout games ever to exist and is easily one of the greatest RPGs around still today. Set in the Mojave Desert, yea𓃲rs after a nuclear war has turned the United States into a bare wasteland, you play as a courier (who wakes up after being shot in the head, ouch). You’ll have to make your way to New Vegas, where your choices and actions tie you to different factions throughout the open world. Every side mission is rich with story, and the aesthetics are to die for as you trek through an almost Western post-apocalyptic world.
With stellar writing and a rich world that changes based on your actions, this is an RPG that truly puts you first. Every playthrough can result in an entirely new experience of the story as you switch allies, prioritize different stats, and choose to do certain missions over others for your reputation. This game is a pure joy to play, and as we wait for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 5, it’s also the perfect time to revisit it.
For more information on this classic, read our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fall Out: New Vegas review.
10. Alan Wake 2
Developer: Remedy Entertainment
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5
Following the heights of Control, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alan Wake 2 arrived to deliver a memorable, imaginative survival horror that succeeds at drawing you in as much as it keeps you guessing. As a sequel to Remedy's much-loved supernatural thrille🥃r from 2010, you follow and play as two protagonists - FBI agent Saga Anderson and author Alan Wake.
Saga investigates a case that starts to veer into the supernatural, and Wake, who mysteriously went missing 10 years ago, is trying to free himself of the Dark Place. As you switch between characters and experience their interwoven stories, you can e♒xpect some scares, intrigue, and plenty of surprises.
Read our five-star 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alan Wake 2 review for more thrills and insights.
9. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Developer: Nintendo
Platform(s): Switch
Who'd have thought that of all games, the Zelda ♍series would be the one to introduce one of the best open worlds of all time? Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is Zelda's first... sorry, Link's first jou🌞rney on the Nintendo Switch and it's one of his best ever.
There's so much to do! From searching for the 900 Korok Seeds to hunting down Guardians and completing shrines, Breath of the Wild is perhaps one of the澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: best Switch games out right now. It also fully deserves its spot in the top 10 picks on our list of the best single-playe🅷r games!
Check out our Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild review for more Hyrule details.
8. God of War
Developer: Sony Santa Monica Studio
Platform(s): PC, PS4, PS5
The God of War franchise has always been great, but 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:God of War has taken things to the next level. It's gone from linear storytelling to a semi-open world, where players control Kratos and explore worlds taken straight from Norse mythology. It's brutal, badass, and bafflingly beautiful, which is why we called it one of "PlayStation's finest moments." Plus, once you've made your way through the adventure, you can follow it up with the excellent sequel, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:God of War Ragnarok.
If you need more Kratos in your life, check out our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:God of War review.
7. Baldur's Gate 3
Developer: Larian Studios
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5
While you can absolutely play 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 with some pals, Larian's sprawling RPG is an excellent game to play solo. Accompanied by a party of memorable companions - who you can develop a relationship with if you so wish - you can get stuck into a series of �🌟�engaging quests as you try to root out the tadpole in your brain.
With so much scope to shape your own journey, from the character you create or the decisi✅ons you make and the way you approach encounters, The Sword Coast is a stage for you to play out your own story.
This is easily one of the best games to come out in recent years, and you can learn more about it in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 review.
6. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Developer: MachineGames
Platform(s): Xbox Series X, PC, PS5
Single-player gaming doesn't get much better than 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The Bethesda-MachineGames collab struck gold when it launched at the tail end of 2024, delivering not only one of the best single-player games in a generation, but the most exciting adventure for Indy himself since the original trilogy. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle combines stealth, melee, and the occasional demand for ranged combat as the intrepid explorer uses his trusty bullwhip to confuse foes and get himself into (and out of) sticky situations that take him on a globe𓄧trotting, time-bending journey. Sounds good, right? Well, it's even better.
Check out our Indiana Jones and the Great Circle review for more
5. Elden Ring
Developer: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5
FromSoftware's action RPG takes you to a sprawling open-world setting of the Lands Between as the Tarnished. With dungeons to explore, great big foes to conquer, and all manner of challenges to overcome, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring delivers a rich, engrossing experience that ꩲwill hold your attention.
While you can expect to be in for several tough fights, there's nothing quite like the feeling of emerging victorious when you take down a particularly strong enemy. And with character customization and an impressive fantasy landscape to discover, Elden Ring quickly became one of the biggest games of 2022 and is counted among the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best FromSoftware games around.
Read our five-star 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring review for more information.
4. Red Dead Redemption 2
Developer: Rockstar
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, PS4
Is there a better way to 🍬kick off this list than with Rockstar's western epic? A prequel to the first game, Red Dead Redemption 2 places you in the shoes of Arthur Morgan. Explore the staggeringly beautiful Wild West on horseback, hunt animals, play poker, go fishing, and more as you saunter around as part of Dutch van der Linde's gang.
There's so much to explore in this game, but as our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2 review points out, it particularly shines with all the side quests on offer. Truly, it's a single-player dream experience. When you've finished the 80+ hour journey, jump into 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Online for even more cowboy action.
3. Horizon Forbidden West
Developer: Guerrilla Games
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, PC
Robot dinosaurs. Need we say anything else about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon Forbidden West? Probably not, but we will anyway. As the expansive sequel to Horiz🔜on Zero Dawn, you once again take control of Aloy in a vast, lush, open-world setting brimming with mysteries to 💞uncover, collectibles to find, and dangers to overcome.
As a story-driven RPG that picks up where Zero Dawn left off, you once again go up against robot dinosaurs that inhabit the landscape, from small Watchers to terrifying Snapm꧃aws, Thunderjaws, and more. While th💜e climbing can be a little finicky, Forbidden West delivers an engrossing experience that will pull you right in.
Check out our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon Forbidden West review for more information.
2. The Last Of Us 2
Developer: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog
Platform(s): PS4, PS5
To be fair, we could easily have named The Last Of Us here, but its sequel, the neatly named 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us 2, took the original formula and improved it across the board. Like its pre♏decessor, e🧸xpect themes of love, loss, and more breath-taking moments than you can shake a makeshift Molotov cocktail at.
The first Last of Us venture was hardly lacking in themꩵes of humanity and morality, but number Two dials those leꦺvels up to 11, and is all the better for it.
You can read our five-star 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us 2 review if you want to know one of the best single-player games around.
1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Developer: CD Projekt Red
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Switch
If you can get your head around a brand new style of combat that does away with most conventions seen in other games, the rest of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 3 could be considered perfect (read more on that fact in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witch 3 review)!
You are Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher - also known as a monster slayer to you and I. There's so much to do and see in this game that, even as a solo player, you're never bored or left wanting more. It may seem overwhelming at first, but after you complete your first few monster contracts and begin Geralt's journey to find the ones he loves, you will not put The Witcher 3 down until you've reached the end and slain thoꦺusands of enemies.
Look ahead to more future releases with our roundup of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PC games, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PS5 games, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch games.
