Single play games

Post by MetalPSI »

What I mean by single play is those games that have a really low replay value. Replay value consists of multiple achievements, endings or expansion of the game universe.

These games are categorized by their linearity or the fact they are puzzle/solving games in which there is only one real outcome. If you have played through and figured out the villian, that's the game.

Ive been spending a lot of time with my PS now subscription, I decided to give it a shot, and after a month, decided I am not going to renew. It's a great idea, but since most of what is offered ends up being free on PS Plus, or stuff I've already bought, I've started playing games I would have never tried. The puzzle/strategy genre is something I've liked, but nothing I would commit to buying. Here are a few quick, but thought provoking and entertaining PS titles.

Hard Rain
Detroit: Become Human
Observation
Nelson Tether: Puzzle Agent
Agatha Christie's ABC Murders

I've played some of the adult version of the I-Spy games. They're fun to play and kills a lot of time, but little replay value.

Baldur's Gate 3 early access and it's 30gb patches, the full game is going to be huge.

Just read OP, my bad.. with a shitload of races, sub-races and classes I've already sunk 400 hrs into it. Replay value overload for these types of games.

I've looked at this game but haven't given it a go yet. Kinda too much like Warcraft 3 to me

The Baldur's Gate series (D&D/Fogotten Realms) and Fallout 1 and 2 are the style of games I played until you and Chris introduced me to The Elder Scrolls and Dragon Age, For me this current Baldur's Gate plays a little like Dragon Age.. with the LGBT friendly romances etc.

Stumbled across this on my youtube rabbit hole dive recently. Brought to you by the genius creators of GTA, this is a collection of hilarious dialogue that is way more funny when put together like this, than it comes across in game, although with some you need a bit more context. Still, worth a 6 minute distraction and a lot of laughs, I really have to pick this game up and give it a go. It's totally outside my wheel house, but looks fun as fuck

I bought a copy of that game a few years ago for pretty cheap. I guess I'll pop it out someday to try it out. It looks like a very interesting game and may be more my speed now since I feel like I'm losing my speed and reaction time in my older age.
