Single Player games

[DaveUKR]

Since I don't really have much time to play online games, I'd like to make a thread about games of different genres with solid and interesting SP (mostly not older than like 5-6 years old). Just post a title of the game and a little description. I'll start with several of them.

Max Payne 3: pretty much good shooter with a main character having midlife crisis If you played previous Max Payne games, you will most likely love it, though it lost it's charm.
Stanley Parable: original and interesting FP corridor walk-through with story line that you make on your own. Good 30-60 minutes of philosophical game.
Far Cry 3: good RPG shooter with a nice sandbox around. High quality product.
Sims 3: yeah, it's kinda gay, but trust me - this game can take you for a couple of hours at least.
Fallout: New Vegas: extremely good game (most of Fallout fans will like it). FP/3rd person RPG with semi-turn based fight mechanics (optional). Got a good scenario, you can play it a couple of times with completely different ways.

Metro 2033 and Last light. Both are rock solid.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R : Call of Pripyat + Misery 2.0


If you pass the first 2 or 3 hours of frustration , it's THE GAME.

Honestly I dont think it lost its charm, the players have changed, the game sticked to its own thing it started years ago. Im quite suprised Max Payne was so solid in the end. Considering the fact that games that are basically only shooters with no upgrade systems or anything almost burn instantly these days. Every game has a upgrade system or shop or something. Max Payne had balls for not sticking that shit in there and still coming out so strong. Very few games could pull such a thing off. It deserves stylepoints already just for that. Even fucking Tomb Raider has a upgradesystem now with the side of other stupid minigames such as hunting.

I don't have Last Light (yet), but Metro is definitely the best modern single player FPS out there. Not an amazing value though as I can't really find good reasons to replay it.

I also really like Far Cry 3, but I wouldn't call it an RPG. It's an open world FPS with excellent gunplay, essentially. If you like the gameplay, there's plenty of content to go through, much more than in Metro for example.

I personally would recommend Mafia 2, Dishonored, Antichamber, Binding of Isaac, FTL and all the Braid, FEZ, SMB, Limbo and other indie platformer things for a start.

Civ 5. Goodbye days.

Tomb Raider (the current one): Looks really good and I was surprised on how mature it actually became. On top you get very solid gameplay with a cool story. Certainly worth the money as a budget title by now. (Yes, there is a low profile upgrade system but it hardly has an real effect on the game - gamers choice if worth to put time in for mostly cosmetics )

Played some of them, would like to put my 2 cents.

Mafia 2: I found this game interesting, some characters are outstanding, good GTAish game with elements of sandbox. Loved the first Mafia too.
Dishonored: i'm not a fan of this style (atmosphere of mixed steam era + futurism + magic), but the game was decent. Some elements remind of Bioshock series (which are also quite good) and even Wolfenstein (the last one).

Civ 3. Or Civ 4. Sorry, but you're beaten. 

Oh oh, unless we really stick to 5-6 years.^^

Dwarf Fortress, Creeper World 3, Prison Architect, Spacebase DF-9. You can waste a lot of time with these games.

Also, another vote for Antichamber.
