Scorn is a game that's been in the works for many many years from a Kickstarter to now some funding from Microsoft it's finally getting the light of day this year after so long and it's just a weird gross sci-fi horror, first-person shooter, I don't really know a better way to describe this one but for me, the main appeal is the art direction the art style very much inspired by h.r Giger h.r Geiger famous for the alien designs from the original movies as well as a ton more this game seems to lean on the body har the mystery and atmosphere and world-building that we come to for something like this and if you're an offbeat horror fan like me it seems like this is going to have some good stuff for you thankfully we finally get to check it out October 21st
Valkyrie Elysium in this you play as the valkyrie who is tasked with seemingly saving an already doomed world and it's a good old action RPG I mean look at it on screen here don't know too much about it but I when it was shown off earlier this year at an event we couldn't help but be hooked on it simply because it just looks like a little blast of nostalgia as much as it's very pretty and cool and flashy there's something about it with the way the combat works the summoning the character designs that just seems a little bit old school and something that might really perfectly scratch that itch we'll know for sure when we get our hands on this one pretty soon September 29th
The quarry is from the developers behind the dark pictures anthology and more importantly the incredible until dawn the quarry takes very much what they set up with until dawn and runs with it it embraces goofy shlocky horror some good tension and dread and lovable characters that you're also going to want to probably see get systematically taken out by the bad guys this is a game about quick time events dialogue choices looking for clues talking to your fellow camp counselors and just kind of enjoying a tongue-in-cheek horror story that can go in a variety of different ways it's really cool to see how this one plays out to trust me, especially with the graphics it's also just a looker and like I said if you played until dawn if you liked any of their previous games you should absolutely give the quarry a shot this year
Triangle strategy is actually from the producer of brave default and Octopath traveler so if you've touched either of those games you really know what to expect here but with a huge dash of actual hardcore strategy gameplay if you like RPGs with a bunch of playable characters this game has 20 skill systems party systems and the art style of something like Octopath traveler triangle strategy is really just a good combination of a bunch of different things and if you need something a little bit meatier or something a little deeper on Nintendo's switch this has got you covered
Pokemon legends Arceus now this released earlier this year and kind of revitalized some of the pokemon gameplay with an open world fully 3d graphics and a more complex catching and battling system it was very cool, especially how it was set in a different time period for the pokemon universe it was a nice refresh but along with that this year towards the end of the year with November we got to mention pokemon scarlet and pokemon violet also coming which is going to give us and expand even more on this new style of the open world catching gameplay and we're excited to see how that pans out really regardless 2022 if you're a pokemon fan you're eating good and that's important
Cult of the lamb do not overlook this one because I'll admit I did it first and I really regret it this is an excellent hybrid of kind of an animal crossing chill out the type of management thing and a dungeon runner where you're gonna find yourself doing oh just one more run the way this combines going into dungeons fighting enemies getting important items and then bringing it back to your little cult that you're building up and keeping that cult going by managing your followers keeping them fed doing all that type of thing it's incredibly addictive even more than I expected and just a cool unique vibe to it all it just really is something else came out of nowhere for us so definitely check it out if you haven't
Dying light 2 and its upcoming expansion DLC bloody ties the original dying light 2 base game is really fun the open worlds it gives you are a lot of fun to jump around in and kill zombies and bloody ties, it marks the start of seemingly a bunch of content being added to the game over time to hopefully just flesh out the combat the enemy types and the world even more
SIFU which was released earlier this year but is probably going to find its way on a bunch of game of the year list this action brawler is incredibly challenging but super satisfying to learn and master and complete it's been updated with a bunch of different modes and options and skins and it really has just been getting better and better but even at its core this is just a tight challenging fun brawler with a great move system really satisfying hits blocking parrying dodging all the feedback is perfect the art style the vibe is really cool the way you kind of memorize your runs and just kick ass it's really just a badass simulator it's a mix between john wick and it man in all the right ways we love it you might love it or if you haven't played it yet
New Tales From The Borderlands This is a follow-up to telltale games as tales from the borderlands game that was very well received that one really blew people away with this incredible depth of storytelling and world building and that just made borderlands better so now they're doing it again but this time with a different team internally at gearbox the publisher owner of borderlands but they've got some of the original people working on it and so far the initial reveal seemed promising it's gonna be hard to top that original run of tales from the borderlands but we'll find out for sure when this one drops October 21st
High ON Life This is a first-person shooter from squinch games most notably the people behind Rick and Morty Justin Roland that whole creative team and this is very much a quirky wacky sci-fi shooter where the guns are aliens and they talk to you the player seemingly constantly now this is very much humor is a subjective thing everybody has a different type of sense of humor you're gonna find this stuff either incredibly annoying or absolutely hilarious but I'm curious to see what they're doing in the gameplay department because visually graphics wise art direction it seems pretty quirky and cool we are going to get our hands on this game at the end of the year December 13th
Gotham Knights we've talked about this one a lot they've been hyping this one up for years we're still a little cautiously optimistic because of the combat but overall this is a new bat family adventure where commissioner Gordon and batman are both dead and it's up to the bat family to work together and clean up the streets of Gotham that are currently riddled with uh the court of owls Mr freeze and his gang Harley Quinn and a bunch more when this game was first revealed a lot of people thought it was a multiplayer game as a service type thing but you can still play this game completely single player which is absolutely excellent for someone like me who just wants to do a night wing run or a red hood run we've had a run of some really good batman games and just really good superhero games so it's gonna be tough to reach the great heights that we've really hit recently but we'll know for sure when it releases October 21st *
Modern warfare 2 -The call of Duty money train continues to roll no matter what with the release this fall of call of duty modern warfare 2. this is the follow-up to modern warfare the game that was released a few years back that kind of rebooted the whole modern warfare and call of duty thing with a newer engine and fresher visuals and gameplay concepts and while we don't know too much about it yet more is probably going to be revealed soon at the time of making this video we do know that it is going to have a single player campaign and if you just like big dumb fun action adventures they're always worth checking out if it's anything like the previous modern warfare campaign they really go all out on some big cinematic set-piece moments that were really fun to play through we'll probably hear more about this game soon but we do know that it's releasing November 10th
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 This game is absolutely awesome if you're looking for a great JRPG on Nintendo switch look no further I mean this series has kind of been hit after hit monolith soft clearly knows how to make a damn good JRPG and this one has an incredibly strange sci-fi world with a weird spin on things something to say and memorable likable characters that yes very much repeat their lines throughout the battle but still while you are battling you're getting just a better version of Xenoblade chronicles gameplay with way more to do things to manage and party members to mess around with the world they built here is great and if you love Jrpgs you should not miss this one
Kirby And The Forgotten Land- sticking with Nintendo switch we have Kirby and the forgotten land this is Kirby's big bold 3d adventure in a variety of different environments with really fun gameplay concepts utilizing Kirby's very unique skill set and some really cool boss battles sometimes you really just need a good old-fashioned video game like this one
Stray This is a single-player cat adventure game where you play as a cat lost in a kind of dystopian future robot-run city there are no humans in sight and it seems like these robots are really the only thing out there and you as this cat adventure through these lands picking things up solving puzzles running from danger platforming and while it is a very simple game to play there's not too much to it the atmosphere the adventure the mystique of it all and just the fun of messing around and playing as a cat in a strange sci-fi world is really really appealing if this wasn't on your radar for it just being the game where you play as a cat you should still consider it for the cool sci-fi aesthetics and just a good solid adventure
Lego Star wars The Skywalker Saga This is essentially a love letter to lego star wars fans whether you were a little bit older for the games or you grew up playing them they were absolutely iconic and what you have here is a new spin on the lego star wars gameplay and just new versions of playing through all of these movies more lightsaber combat better third-person shooting more jokes different jokes more characters to play as and open worlds to explore there's an absolute metric ton of stuff in these games it's packed to the gills and you can play it with a friend or you can play it completely solo and just for that alone for cruising through and playing through the movies and seeing another new spin on lego star wars stuff is pretty much worth the price of admission if you like this stuff you're probably gonna dig this one
Bayonetta 3. we're finally getting a new Bayonetta game after waiting for so many years these third-person action games to rival devil may cry have always been really great Bayonetta 2 was completely slept on and now this full-fledged first Bayonetta game for Nintendo Switch is going to feature another playable character crazy over-the-top screen filling summons and just hopefully more good action combat and over-the-top stylish and hilarious moments it's been a long wait so we're really hoping to knock it out of the park with this one it's releasing October 28th
A plague tale requiem this is the follow-up to the absolutely incredible plague tale innocence and in it, you travel to a medieval world ravaged by plague and overrun with diseased rats and it's just you Emilia, and her young brother Hugo trying to get by there's a little bit more to it that I don't want to spoil but essentially these games are focused around beautiful visuals tight storytelling environmental puzzle solving and the occasional bit of combat that is absolutely effective this time around it seems like Amita is more capable she's been through a lot in the previous game she seemingly has more combat abilities and more gadgets and with a new location and who knows where the story's gonna go we're very much looking forward to seeing what happens and it's releasing October 18th
Ghost wire Tokyo if you're looking for a single-player game that's a little less traditional this might be up your alley it's kind of structured a little bit like a yakuza game where you walk around a small open-world city and get strange quests but you get them from ghosts and then you go out and you fight other really cool creepily designed ghosts with doctor strange powers it's definitely not our favorite game of the year but it gets a lot of points for just being completely different and really unlike anything you've ever played it's not necessarily super scary it's a horror game but it leans more on like the fun wacky side of horror and that totally works here some of the boss battles are absolutely wild
Horizon Forbidden West was released this year this was the follow-up to horizon zero dawn and it takes the story and world-building to new heights this game goes absolutely crazy from a storytelling standpoint but along with that you're just getting a ton more gadgets to work with more creatures to hunt a bigger open world with more in-depth side quests more crafting more hidden discoveries even better visuals horizon forbidden west is like the true definition of like a bigger better sequel it's a great one to flex your ps5 if that's what you're looking to do and like I said Aloy's journey certainly goes places really more than anything we're just excited to see where things
Atomic heart look at this game this is an incredible mashup of seemingly simulation-style games like Deus ex or the more recent prey with a good dash of Bioshock and weird sci-fi horror some of the more recent trailers we've seen for this game are just kind of like a compilation of just endless mind-blowing strange stuff from melee combat cool guns to just downright shocking enemies stuff that we've never seen before in games I am incredibly excited for this one if you can't tell even if it just boils down to it looks cool it seems very creative and it's like Bioshock that's all I really needed, to be honest, this one has been in the works for a really really long time it's been delayed many many times but as of right now we know it's slated for late 2022.
Callisto protocol is another good old-fashioned video game from a lot of the people behind the original dead space and they have admitted this is very much a spiritual successor of that what you get here is third-person survival horror tight corridor stressful action and you can see it here with some brutal melee cool weapons and tons of awesome zombie and creature gore I've said it before but Callisto protocol just looks like exactly what the doctor ordered if you just like third-person survival horror action-adventure games it's been a minute since we got like a really good solid triple a one and we're hoping Callisto protocol delivers because it is going to squeak by this year it's releasing December 2nd, 2022.
Elden Ring- course you know we were going to mention Elden Ring is an absolute blowout of the soul's souls borne formula they took what they have perfected and they just made it absolutely massive and compelling and yet still incredibly cohesive and thoughtful the way this game encourages and rewards open world exploration is really satisfying the combat is still great as you'd expect and the character building is really something else you're able to get very creative with your builds along with that the vibe the atmosphere and the variety of the areas and dungeons and enemies it's just all that from software stuff you really expect at this point and it's so fun to get immersed in obviously clearly earlier this year we all fell in love with Elden ring and we're still thinking about it to this day
God of war Ragnarok is the game that we're collectively the most excited about this year on the channel is god of war ragnarok we've been looking forward to this one for a very long time as big fans of the original god of war games and of course god of war 2018 kind of reimagined things we're really looking forward to seeing where kratos and atreya's story goes this time around and from what we've seen it looks like larger worlds more interaction with npcs and just stuff in general more combat options more enemy types hopefully more bosses and the next step in a story of both father and son and also just a wild world filled with mythology and gods the bar was set pretty high by 2018 we're hoping this one lives up to it and we'll be able to check it out when it releases november 9th of this year now those are some of the best new and upcoming single-player games but we got two bonus games worth mentioning the first is thymizia this is a soulsborne style game with a little bit more of a bloodborne flair that didn't change the world or anything but has a ton of fun combat options and is worth checking out if you like stuff like sakura as well also roller drum it's like tony hawk's pro skater meets jet set radio meets max payne in an arena shooter and it's one of the best solo experiences you could have with an indie game right now now like we said there are so many other games that we couldn't fit on this list today but these are some of our picks some of the best single player things so let us know yours down in the comments because you're gonna have your own choices so we wanna hear if you got your own top five hit us up if you enjoyed this video and maybe learned about a new game or just like talking games with us clicking the like button is all you got to do it really helps us out and if you're new consider subscribing maybe hitting that notification bell because we put out videos every single day but as always thanks for watching and we'll see you guys next time
