What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

  • Minecraft
  • Furi
  • Mario 64
  • Super Mario World
  • GTA SA and Vice City

It’s kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can’t help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don’t get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

I go back to the Mario games pretty often.

Man, Furi, I tried and couldn’t get past the tutorial, lol

There are so many Mario games that are easy to pick up and play anytime without worrying about forgetting about the story, controls, or anything like that

Haha I played Furi a lot so now I have the bosses memorized

Same. The soundtrack is killer, though. It’s in my regular rotation on Spotify.

In my first play through I was surprised how many songs from the games I knew

Factoring, satisfactory

Heck anything with a dedicated server support. I throw up my own server, connect and play SP. So long as the game is fun, I’ll play it

I recently picked it up for my switch and I’m really excited to try it out. I’ve heard a lot of great things about it

It’s a great game to kill time, each play through is random so doesn’t feel repetitive. Great soundtracks. I’m playing this on my laptop through a ps5 controller honestly this game is best to be played on a switch or steamdeck type device. Anyway happy gaming.

Highly recommend; it’s on my list. It’s a low-barrier roguelike to get into. Overall, the genre has some friction points, but this game is really smart about it. There is a story! It is advanced every time you die. You slowly get more stats each time also. However, If the game determines you are dying ‘a lot’, it will allow you to decrease the difficulty so you won’t abandon the game. The fun is in combining Greek god powers; you can ‘git gud’ if you want a challenge, but it’s not necessary to ‘have fun.’

Oblivion, Skyrim and The Witcher 3 are my favorites

I got myself skyrim for a birthday when it first came out, and I love going back to it. It has a lot of flaws, but it also has a lot of character.

Thank you, I think I’m going to start a playthrough soon because of this comment

I loved The Witcher 3 and I know it has tons of replayability… But heck, I don’t see myself finishing it again any time soon, it took me a bit part of my life to finish it once lol.

Virginia and What Remains of Edith Finch are two of my favourite narrative experiences. I’ve played through both of them a few times and I’m always eager to go back.
