Are you into single-player titles of all kinds? Then you’ll want to check out this list! Don’t put too much weight into the ranking here. These are just some of the games we think you might want to check out. Likewise, you’ll find that there is quite a wide range of genres and exclusives.
#35 Homeworld 3
Strategy games like Homeworld 3 are always a blast to play in a single-player style because it showcases how one person can see a situation differently than another.
The game is about spacefaring races trying to save their civilization while also dealing with opposing forces trying to get the better of them. How you decide to deal with these foes is up to you, which is where much of the fun lies in the title.
You’ll command massive ships and vast fleets so you can gain victory. But can you use enough of your smarts to save as many as possible? You’ll find out when you take command.
#34 Sand Land
Based on the story by Akira Toriyama, Sand Land will take gamers into a unique world where people and demons both have a problem: there’s not enough water! That sucks!
You’ll play as the “Fiend Prince,” Beelzebub. With his two comrades, you’ll journey across a vast desert in search of a mythical spring that could end everyone’s woes! But, naturally, it won’t be an easy adventure, as monsters and foes will try to stop you.
Another key twist is that instead of fighting with your characters, you’ll build up vehicles to fight monsters for you! You can also set up a base within the desert and slowly grow it until it’s a city!
#33 Portal: Revolution
Platform: PC
Release Date: January 6, 2024
Steam
Hold on! Before you start geeking out about what Valve may or may not have done, we need to tell you right off the bat that Portal Revolution is NOT a new official game in the franchise. Instead, it’s a fan-made mod. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get it! In fact, it might be even MORE of a reason to get it!
This team came together to make a unique storyline set before the events of the second title with new characters to use and puzzles to solve.
The team truly put their all into this mod, so you should try it out and see how clever you are.
#32 Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Platform: PC PS5 XSX|S Switch PS4 Xbox One
Release Date: January 18, 2024
Epic | PlayStation | Xbox | Nintendo
One of the Ubisoft franchises is back via The Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and a new tale is ready for you to partake in! The game puts you as Sargon, a prodigy who has become part of the prince’s guard of well-trained warriors.
However, events lead to the prince being kidnapped and taken to a strange land. You’re separated from your companions and must fight your way out of this mysterious place while also unlocking the powers that resonate within you.
With platforming, intense action, and tons of ways to fight, you’ll have plenty to do in the title. So jump in and start your adventure!
#31 Palworld
Platform: PC Xbox One XSX|S
Release Date: January 19, 2024 (early access)
By this point in time, you’ve definitely heard about Palworld. After all, people are buying it in good numbers, and it might be sued for AI usage and copyright infringement.
But what is this game exactly? Well, you live in a world that is inhabited by creatures known as “Pals.” These Pals do what most animalistic creatures do to survive, and now, you must do the same. You’ll roam around capturing Pals and do whatever you desire with them so you can live the “good life.”
Want to raise them into an army? Go for it! Want to put them to work in a factory? Yep, you can do that, too. Want to steal them? Evil, but it’s an option.
And that’s just the start of things in this crazy title.
#30 Little Nightmares III
That’s right! The beloved horror series is back! This time around, the dark journey through another mysterious world will have you playing as Low & Alone. They are trapped in a place called Nowhere, and they must work together to figure out a path out!
But as they go through the unique entity called The Spiral, they’ll have to face various illusions, monsters, and terrors. Plus, something out there is coming for the two of them! Can they make it out alive? Will they learn even darker truths as they go on? You’ll have to dive in and find out!
#29 Gothic 1 Remake
The difference between a remaster and a remake is intent. Or more specifically, the desire to either “repaint” the game or “rebuild it”. For the Gothic Remake the team at THQ Nordic went full-stop to make a new studio to straight up “reimagine” the original Gothic title and put it on modern consoles.
They even made a playable teaser to see how the gamers liked it, and they promise that they’re going to honor the original while also going and making their own spin on things to make it more like modern RPGs. In the good way of course.
Will they succeed or fail? You’ll find out when it comes out.
#28 Granblue Fantasy: Relink
Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an action RPG set in the same fantasy realm as the original Granblue Fantasy, albeit in a new area within that realm, and forms part of the ongoing franchise. The game itself introduces players to an immersive new fantasy world that looks pretty stunning, from the few gameplay clips we’ve seen so far. The combat looks pretty epic and the environments have clearly been crafted meticulously, promising a lot of satisfaction when exploring the new environments. Definitely, this is one action-packed game that you’ll want to check out whether you’re playing alone or if you want a few friends to tag along in co-op.
#27 Tomb Raider I-III Remastered
It seems that there are always new remasters of classic titles being made every single year, and 2024 will be no different. While we don’t know everything that will be made during that year, we can say that Tomb Raider I-III Remastered will be one of the old-school games you can check out in a new light.
In these remastered adventures, you’ll once again play as Lara Croft, reliving her original adventures and reminding you of how she made her name in the gaming space. Track down incredible treasures, fight all sorts of foes, both human and animal, and see if you can make it out in one piece!
#26 Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
If you’ve ever been to Kickstarter, you know that there are plenty of incredible projects that get funded and turn out to be incredible things. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes was the biggest video game project of 2020 on the platform, and it’s shaping up to be something special.
The game occurs in a world where an empire is expanding to seek power. But in the process of doing that, two unlikely people meet up, become friends, and have their destinies intertwined!
This old-school meets new-school RPG will have you meeting many heroes in an attempt to save the world. Think you’re up to the task?
#25 Black Myth: Wukong
Continuing the trend of Soulslikes, Black Myth: Wukong is another entry in the popular genre. Based on the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West. players will be taking control of a monkey known only as “The Destined One,” who looks very similar to the titular character Sun Wokong, as they battle through a fantastical rendition of 7th century China against many supernatural beings and creatures. Multiple gameplay videos have been released for the game, showing a fluent and hard-hitting combat system with stunning visuals, all running in Unreal Engine 5, making the game set one of the first major projects to use the new engine.
#24 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
The next entry in the cult classic S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, the upcoming survival horror FPS S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is finally set to release (hopefully) next year. The sequel will see players once again entering the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone as they take on many different enemies and anomalies as discover an epic tale that they will be able to shape with their actions. Players will need to manage their weapons and resources in order to survive the harsh environments of the Exclusion Zone.
The game was meant to release in December of 2022, but the Ukrainian development team put the game’s development on hold due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Development has since resumed and the game is now set to release in 2024.
#23 Dragon’s Dogma 2
Platform: PC PS5 XSX|S
Release Date: March 22, 2024
Steam | PlayStation | Xbox
It’s been a long time coming, but, at last, Dragon’s Dogma 2 has come.
The game from Capcom brings back much of the original team to ensure that the game is what fans want it to be, and then some.
You’ll once again be an “Arisen” and venture forth across a fantasy-style land in search of glory, power, freedom, or whatever else you desire. You’ll get to customize your character from top to bottom and then choose how they would interact with everything around them.
Plus, they can bring Pawns into their party to further bolster their power and influence! What will your quest look like?
#22 Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Oh, look! Ichiban is back! That can only mean nice and totally not weird things are about to happen, right?
Yeah, we all know better than that! Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will continue the story of Ichiban as he attempts to build up a new life for himself while still being tied to the Yakuza life he has known for so long. The game will apparently “fill in the gaps” between certain entries while still being its own thing.
The turn-based RPG combat and quests will be present, given their success in the previous title, and things are likely to get even crazier in the sequel. So, if nothing else, prepare for things to get nuts.
#21 Avowed
While it may not sound like it, or look at it given its first-person perspective, Avowed is set in the realm of Pillars of Eternity, and that makes it all the more intriguing to fans of the franchise.
However, the new “focus” if you will is apparently making this game more to something like the Elder Scrolls as you’ll be dealing with magic and swordplay in the first-person perspective. Something that is very different from the Pillars of Eternity Games.
The first trailer for the game hints at many things, including dark forces brought to life by unnatural means, a former member of royalty trying to get back the crown, and more. We’ll have to wait for more details though.
#20 Persona 3 Reload
Atlus has been on quite a roll ever since they released their fifth mainline title. They’ve brought many of their games to numerous platforms, and now, they’re remaking the entry that truly brought a shift to their series via Persona 3 Reload.
The game will give a complete makeover to the OG title and adorn it with updated graphics, UI, music, voice acting, and more. The title takes place in a world where a gateway to another dimension has unlocked an extra hour during the day. Now, a group of students must come together and unlock their Personas so they can save the world from the monsters that lurk within the realm of Tartarus!
#19 Towers of Aghasba
In many games that feature you building up things like a town or city, not much care is given to the surrounding environment. But in Towers of Aghasba, that’s not the case. In fact, you’ll have to go through the game to keep the balance between man and nature.
On one side of the equation, you’ll start a village for people of your tribe and then slowly grow it so that they can thrive and expand. But on the other side of the equation, you’ll travel around the island you’re on and help rebuild and regrow the ecosystems so that nature can thrive once more.
#18 Stellar Blade
The good news is that we know “Project Eve” is now going to be called Stellar Blade, and it looks like a game that mixes plenty of familiar themes together to create a fun experience.
For example, like many titles out there right now, it’s a Soulslike game with numerous hack-n-slash elements. It also has a female protagonist who might be trying to steal Bayonetta’s thunder, but we digress.
The team behind it has promised stellar graphics and gameplay controls that will make full use of the PS5 controller.
#17 Rise of the Ronin
Yes, we know we already talked about Samurai. But Ronin are Samurai without masters, and Rise of the Ronin will take that story and run with it in a deep narrative influenced by your choices.
Japan is at a crossroads in its history. There are influencers from outside and inside the country that aim to shape the country’s future. As a masterless being, you can determine what you feel is best and then set out to achieve your goals.
Team Ninja are behind the gameplay, so you can be assured that things will be fast, furious, fun to play, and easy to pick up.
So, what will Japan look like when you’re done?
#16 Frostpunk 2
If you thought the cold was over, you were sorely mistaken. Frostpunk 2 will put you back into the frozen world after a terrifying blizzard decimated everything so long ago.
The people of your city are looking for you to not only keep them warm but keep them happy. That’s not easy to do when everyone wants something, and there’s never enough to go around. So what are you to do?
You’ll start by building your city and ensuring that it can withstand the outside forces. Then, you’ll focus on the inside forces and see how long you can last with everyone pulling at you in different directions.
#15 The Last of Us Part II Remastered
Platfrom: PS5
Release Date: January 19, 2024
It’s true. The Last of Us Part II Remastered has arrived, and everyone’s saying it’s just as good, if not better than it was when it originally arrived on PS4.
For those who haven’t played the title, it takes place a few years after the events of the first game. Joel and Ellie have lived in Jackson, and things haven’t gone smoothly between them.
However, when certain dark events follow them there, Ellie will go on an equally dark quest of revenge to satiate her bloodlust. But how far is she willing to go to get what she feels she needs? You’ll have to play the game to find out!
#14 Soulslinger: Envoy of Death
Doesn’t that sound cool? To be an “envoy of death”? We all know that there are games that take place in the afterlife, and Soulslinger: Envoy of Death is another one of those titles.
You are in Limbo, and there’s a power struggle going on. A cartel is in this realm, trying to harvest power for itself. You can’t let that happen. So, go through the realms of darkness and attempt to stop their plans.
Along the way, you’ll gain new powers and possibly make allies to help you on your journey. But be warned! This is the afterlife, so not everyone likes playing by the rules.
#13 Clockwork Revolution
Time, huh? Thanks for the tip.
In Clockwork Revolution, you play someone who has found a time machine. But after using it, you realize something very important. Specifically, your home of Avalon was shaped entirely by going back in time and screwing with events.
As a result, you will go back in time to those events and change things. But, as all time travel fans know, once you alter something in the past, the future changes with it. You’ll watch after each journey as your home and relationships change. But will they change for the better? Or will they be worse? These are the consequences you’ll have to think about.
#12 Alone in the Dark
For a single-player game as spooky as its title, look out for the reimagining of Alone in the Dark! In this psychological horror game, take a trip down South in the 1920s to explore the Derceto Manor. You will play as either Emily Hartwood, who is looking for her missing uncle, or as private investigator Edward Carnby while you explore this insanely creepy home for the mentally ill. There is a great mix of gameplay, including fighting monsters, solving puzzles, and exploring the world around you as you gather clues. As you interact with the residents and uncover horrible monsters, you will have to battle on the edge of mystery and insanity in order to stop an evil plot from happening.
#11 Enotria: The Last Song
What happens when music and stagecraft freeze the world you know? That’s the question in Enotria: The Last Song.
The game puts you in an Italian-inspired place where the world has been put into stasis. However, you have been able to break free of the world’s hold and must try to do the same with everyone else.
As you battle through foes, you’ll get masks, and those masks will grant you power. Specifically, they’ll give you new “roles” that you can embody to help take the fight to the one behind this “play.” The more you grow, the more talents you can unlock and the more powerful you become.
#10 Alterborn
When the world ends, but you somehow survive, what other path is there but to go forward? In Alterborn, you are a human who was able to endure the end of the world. But the cost of that survival was high. You are basically a monster, and many view you as that.
However, you have a choice about what you become. You can focus on keeping your humanity and get revenge on those that destroyed the world, or you can embrace the darkness within you and see just how much power you can gain.
You’ve already lost the world; will you lose yourself as well?
#9 Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
In the realm of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, there are two beings that you need to be mindful of: the living and the dead. Banishers are humans who attempt to eliminate the spirits that linger in our world. But when a couple finds themselves on opposite ends of the “living spectrum,” a new mission must be carried out.
You’ll go through this mysterious and intense world to find a way to bring your lover back. But it won’t be easy. Both characters have unique abilities to use to get rid of threats, but in the end, it’ll be your choice how the story ends.
#8 New Arc Line
When your family gets a terrible disease, you are determined to save them no matter what! That leads you to the “new world” where people live in luxury and everything seems perfect. But as we all know, such a place doesn’t exist.
You’ll soon see the filth and corruption that fills the place, and due to that, you resolve to work the system to get what you need.
Go through the “new world” and gain allies, set things in motion, take down those in charge, and more! Whatever it takes so you can find that cure and free your family from their burden. Can you make the “tough calls” to make that happen?
#7 Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
Picture this, please. The world has gotten an undead problem. But this time, it’s because of the gods! Yep, the gods are trying to take over the world with an undead army, and they’re doing a pretty good job of wrecking humanity.
So, in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, you’ll be part of a coalition of humans who are tired of losing and are doing everything they can to fight back. You’ll need to use magic and might to push back the armies of the undead and take the fight right to the gods!
But whether that works out will be up to you. Think you’re up to the challenge?
#6 Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II
The original Hellblade title was one that blew the minds of many due to how it told a unique story of loss and psychological trauma, all wrapped up in a psychedelic journey. Now, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is set to take that concept to the next level, even if we don’t fully know all that’s coming.
The trailer that was shown for the game does seem to point to more of Norse mythology coming to life in a monstrous way, and one has to wonder what dangers and visuals we’re going to see. Things are likely going to expand in terms of both scope of the world, and the scope of combat.
Either way…this will be a journey you don’t want to miss.
#5 Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
One of the greatest gaming sagas ever will have one of its best titles reborn for a more modern age!
Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater rewinds the clock back to the days of the Cold War, where Naked Snake is about to go on a mission that’ll set up the course of history.
But his battle will be more personal than he could ever know, as he will go up against his mentor, The Boss, and her handpicked squad of powerful soldiers.
Use various tactics, including stealth, to overcome the odds and save the world while setting the wheels in motion for the rest of the saga.
#4 Silent Hill 2 Remake
If we’re being honest, the Silent Hill franchise peaked long ago. But, then, the “reboot” that could’ve saved it, headed up by Hideo Kojima, was canceled by Konami after they unceremoniously fired him.
It took years for any word of the franchise to come out. But it did come, and part of it arrives with the Silent Hill 2 Remake. The beloved PS2 title that made the franchise famous will be getting the PS5 treatment, which should mean quality from top to bottom.
The reveal trailer surprised many with how lifelike the characters and world looked. One can only imagine how such graphics will terrify players when the time comes.
#3 Star Wars Outlaws
While we can’t confirm that Grand Theft Auto VI will come out in 2024, there is a strong belief that, at the very least, we’ll hear more from Rockstar Games about it. The title is one of many “potential games” that could make 2024 a big year for gaming, and it’s not hard to see why.
After all, the 5th title in the mainline series helped set the tone for longevity by being at the top of the market for basically a decade!
#2 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Platform: PS5
Release Date: February 29, 2024
It’s time to return to the world of Gaia, as it’s on the precipice of a great disaster if you don’t stop it!
Cloud Strife is here with his friends from Avalanche and beyond at his side, and you’ll need all of them and more to take on Sephiroth! Square Enix has taken their remake saga to new heights with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and many have already dubbed it the frontrunner for Game of the Year!
With an expansive world to trek through, numerous quests to partake in, dates to go on with some “lucky people,” and so on, you won’t be bored on this adventure!
The game is out now, so why aren’t you playing it?
#1 Dragon Age: Dreadwolf
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is the fourth game in the Dragon Age franchise. The games and their DLCs revolve around the continent of Thedas, but each game is centered on a different character and point of time. The story so far has involved a gradual takeover of the Darkspawn and demons called the Blight. The exact plot of this fourth installation is not known yet, but the main character has been confirmed to be Solas, an important character in previous games. Plus the story will take place in Tevinter, which has not been shown in the franchise yet, but has been mentioned. The game developer, BioWare, has mentioned that this game will be single-player focused and will be easy to jump into for players who are new to the franchise. So whether you’re curious or a long-time fan, you’ll want to keep an eye out for this one.
