Lens Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I was actually thinking about the shift towards multiplayer-focused games and its general impact on single-player experiences. My thoughts are that the multiplayer games has led to the neglect of single player modes or campaigns. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I think the multiplayer games can coexist with single player experiences with no issues, but what is worrying is the focus of the industry on online engagement and revenue streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll like to add that some games, like Dark Souls and Sekiro, have successfully blend some solo and multiplayer elements which is very amazing.

killamch89 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I think it depends on the game and the market. While it's true that a lot of multiplayer games seem to dominate attention, there are still standout single-player titles that get significant focus from developers. Games like God of War and The Last of Us show that there’s still a place for rich single-player narratives. Multiplayer might be trending, but there’s clearly demand for both.

It’s important to respect that, and instead of comparing, we should focus on what makes each type of gaming enjoyable for different people.

GameOn Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Sure! The multiplayer games are gradually eroding single-player games but I know some gamers that are still enjoying the solo play. I still enjoy it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think single-player games are still probably the best. With single player games, you can fully immerse yourself in the story and gameplay without having to rely on others.

That's a very fair point and I can see why people like single-player games and sometimes, I do prefer it depending on my mood. I love playing single-player games like RDR 2, Skyrim, The Witcher 3, God of War etc. because of the amazing experiences they provide us gamers.

I found that the industry's shift towards service-based models and online multiplayer has definitely led to the neglect, but I still believe that the indie developers are filling the gap with some innovative single-player titles.
