I'm kind of burnt out on MMO's. I need a good break from the grind and the raids. I think what I need now is a good single player game to keep me busy for awhile. Can anyone recommend me some good ones? I'm not picky, I play all games. Games I've played are: The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim Dragons Dogma Half Life 1&2, Portal 1&2 Shogun Total War Neverwinter Nights Dragon Age 1 and 2 Dark Souls Call of Juarez : Bound in Blood Assassins Creed (all of them) Deus Ex (played original and Human Revlution.) Psychonaughts L4D Fallout 3 and New Vegas Diablo 3
I've tried to get into older games like Planescape Torment and Baldurs Gate, but I just can't do it. They are just too old for me. So any help would be appreciated! |

BioShock is one I turned up lately that seems interesting and unique. It got good reviews too.
Best described as a bizzaro first person shooter RPG. |

I agree..... Bioshock would be a great one. I envy you getting to play it for the first time. Life is Short, Read a Book. |

yeah Planescape and Blauders get are old but take a second look at em...so much depth storywise cmpared to RPG's nowadays. Planscape is still one of my top 5 games I have played...so much fun being good on 1st playthrough making friends XD and getting most of the story. Then being evil 2nd time around and killing everyone I pretty much met MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! |

If you like a good story, I'd recommend Mafia 2. It's set in an open world, and although it's pretty linear with not much to do aside from the main story missions, the gameplay and story are top notch and should take you about 8 - 10 hours to complete. I was sad when the game ended, I wanted more.
Also, you might wanna try Darksiders. Extremely underrated game IMO. If you get it on PC, it's clearly a console port, but a pretty good one I think. Consume. Be silent. Die. |

Get on your playstation 3 and DL Chrono Trigger :) I find the old school console RPG games to be much funner and the storyline is more engaging. Sword of Vermillion Shining in the Darkness Shining Force 2 & 3 Phantasy Star 1 through 4 Golden Axe Warrior Zelda series Ultima series Final Fantasy Series The Wizardry series (Crusaders of the Dark Savant was my favorite) Heroes Of Might and Magic series etc etc! |

Any older Tom Clancy Ghost Recon series Farcry Farcry 2 Civilization series Max Payne series Company of Heroes
I'm taking a shot of vodka every time I see a reference to a game being a WoW or Diablo clone. |

Thank you everyone for the replies. I think I'll give Bioshock a try. It looks fun. I'll also give Planescape Torment another try. I keep hearing good things about it. I also played Amnesia not too long ago.. I got like half way and I just had to stop. It was just too scary!!

Divinity 2:DKS Risen 1 and 2 Two Worlds 2 Stalker series Arx Fatalis Lost Odyssey Last Remnant Drakensang series
Nothing else that hasn't already been mentioned comes to mind for now, all of these except perhaps Arx Fatalis are fairly modern though. In fairness to Arx though, it has extremely fun RPG mechanics and a great atmosphere, even compared to modern games. I consider the magic system one of the best i've played.
edti: I believe both Risen games have demos you can try before buying.

well...there's many single-player games out there. what style you want? recently I've been feeling like creating stuff rather than destroying stuff so...
I've recently been playing Cities in Motion quite a bit. basically you get a city and you build the public transportation. Some like that stuff, some hate it. Either way it was super-cheap on steam.

golden sun 1 and 2, for gameboy advanced. If you dont have one then get it with a gba emulator(visual boy advanced) for pc. Very good games and fun games. Also any rpg from the "Tales" series is awesome "in peace, in sleep under the barren, abandoned soil"

You could try morrowind. In my opinion it's better than oblvion and skyrim but it might be a bit old school for you. No pointers telling you where to go, that type of thing. However, there is a graphics update (you'll have to do a search and follow the instructions) that helps. It's very large in scope with lots to discover. And you can actually join a vampire faction and do vampire quests. Otherwise Amnesia for a very scary game Witcher 1 and 2 Dark Messiah is pretty cool. Sort of a first person fantasy game, very beautiful and very viscious combat. Linear though. Mass effect games.
