Despite what naysayers might have said, single-player games continue to keep a strong presence within the games industry to the point that many of the biggest games in the current market landscape are single-player releases.

Single-player games encompass a huge number of genres including but not limited to those played in the first-person perspective. The last few years have seen a large number of single-player first-person games that had impressive critical reception but eventually slipped under the radar for one reason or another.

With this feature, we will be putting a spotlight on such games and counting down 15 of the best single-player first-person games that you probably didn’t play - but definitely should.

    Single-player and first-person shooter are one of my favourite game categories, with this video I've will hear about new games what I didin't seen before thank you Gamingbolt. 🔥🔥

    Far Cry 6 is great fun. I think game reviewers are often too critical of titles because gaming is their job. I’d hate anything I had to do for 8 hours a day. For us civilians, many of these “lackluster” games are exactly what we want. FC6 has cool side missions and very satisfying gun play. Felt the same thing happened to Biomutant and AC Valhalla.

    Rage 2 is extremely underrated if anyone has been sitting on it. I've been playing it and really enjoyed it. Hope they keep making more Rage games. I felt it was perfect for what I wanted from a game.
  • @philgraves4998
    Not many people liked Rage 2 but I personally loved it! Fast paced fighting Doom style, awesome abilities/guns, great graphics/sound, high fps, day/night cycle, different biomes, fun enemies, long campaign! The only thing it lacked for me was the in between areas didn't have much.

    Single Player games are and will always be the heart and soul of video games, so i don't know who told you they are "dying" but i bet it was kids or idiots.....or both.
  • @MrSkullMerchant
    The atmosphere from the first dying light was completely lost in dying light 2

    FYI: The classic Stalker games. All 3 of them are now available on X-Box for the first time ever. Great if you don't want to have to mess with all the crashing and bugs that are fixed with various mods and just want to play the game without worrying about that stuff.
  • @arnoxelise
    Immersive single- player games are the best!

    Timestamps would be very usefull here

    Just got done going back through Ghostrunner. I went into Hardcore mode a while ago hoping I wouldn't regret it, but it's totally worth it if you love those game mechanics. Vanishing of Ethan Carter scratched a particular itch I was feeling after Firewatch, which is sadly missing from this list.
  • @Quentin-pu8id
    What about Homefront The Revolution ? This game is the best "post-war" Far Cry. Most of the bugs have been patched, it runs at 120fps on Series X and it is damn fun to play... I really don't get the disdain for this game...
  • @transporthummel
    Are you sure you didn't mix up Vanishing of Ethan Carter and What remains of Edith Finch?
  • Cool! Quite a few titles from Poland made it to the list! Ghostrunner, Shadow Warrior 3, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Dying Light 2! It's good that the recognition of Polish productions is growing and it's not only Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 anymore.

    I got Wolfenstein 2 The New Colossus, Half Life Alyx and Dishonored 2. Not sure why "we probably didn't play those games"?
  • @AtomicEy
    (here again kicking the dead horse) the available platforms next to game name would be nice
  • +1 to GhostRunner. Was my GOTY in 2020, stoked for the sequel. Along the same lines as Entropy Centre, I would recommend "Backfirewall"
  • @GameFame2.0
    Deathloop is by far my favorite game I have ever played
