  Titanfall 2 is one of the greatest games of all time (I would say it is easily a top 50, maybe even a top 20). The singleplayer campaign is just ridiculously well designed and even has a surprising amount of pathos in the narrative.

  But if you are likely to be regularly interrupted? Horizon Zero Dawn. most of the story quests are 10-15 minutes each and you can just do the checklist open world the rest of the time.

    Thanks for the great feedback and love the username. I am also a puzzle slut myself with probably about 30 different Rubiks cubes .

    Also, Titanfall 2 can pause very fast but it does take you out of the immersion

  Rubics Cube

    Second for Rubiks cube. Though since it’s in a solved pattern, they probably know how to solve it. Still fun to get faster!

      Third for Rubik’s cube. Solve one in each hand at the same time.

  Titanfall 2 has a great gameplay and surprisingly good story with the added bonus to not try to lock you in for 300 hours for no reason with stupid boring side quest or “activities”.

  I would start with that.

  • Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Agreed. Titanfall 2, then Horizon next.

  Titanfall 2. Its the only game I’ve ever played to successfully integrate time travel in a way that makes sense and feels good. They could have built an entire game around that mechanic alone and you only get it for a single level.

  Also, the campaign in general is top-notch storytelling for an FPS.

• youngalfred@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Titanfall 2 is an amazing game. It’s single player is one of the best - it never gets stale as there’s always a new mechanic, both as a ‘pilot’ (soldier) or in a titan, to master or a twist you didn’t see coming. The story itself is top notch, and it’s length is good.

  If I remember right, you can pause at anytime, even in cutscenes. They’re not long though.

  Plus, the multiplayer has been fixed just recently so you can vs others in some of the best feeling combat any game has to offer.

  I’ve never played the others though, so feel free to go with them.

    I’ll second this. The gameplay is super tight and intuitive, and easy to play in bite-sized chunks. The story is more thoughtful and interesting than it has any right to be. I was really shocked how much I enjoyed this game, it completely took me by surprise. Only downside imo is that the actual storyline is short, like just a few hours. Pretty good replay value though.

      People tend to nderstate how short the campaign is. Phrases like "it never gets old" are used, but it's true because, as you mentioned, the campaign is one of the shortest you'll find in anything close to a AAA game.

    TF2 multi-player is still active?

      Yes! Respawn actually released a patch the other week and there’s 1000s playing again.

  Titanfall 2 might fit that scenario the best. Great story but easily payable, lots of quick action, not crazy long and pretty much on rails unless you’re a collectible completionist.

  Titanfall 2 is an absolute gem. All of those games are great, but my love (and vote) falls on titanfall

• Wermhatswormhat@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Wow, surprised nobody recommended God of War. It’s by a mile better than any other game in the franchise, won game of the year if memory serves right. And then when you play that one you get to roll into Ragnorok which is arguably even better.

  • paultimate14@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Do you need to have played the earlier games for it?

    I got this with my PS4. I already had the GOW 1&2 collection for PS3, so I figured I’d beat those and maybe get 3 first. But the first game is… rough. I’d say it hasn’t aged well, but honestly I don’t think it holds up to its contemporaries well.

    I played it on-and-off for a few years now and finally beat it a couple weeks ago. I’m debating if I even want to bother with the 2nd game now.

    source

    • LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I would say no. The earlier games are very very different types of games. If you played the earlier games, I think you’ll appreciate Kratos’ journey more but it’s not necessary, imo.

    • Wermhatswormhat@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Like everyone said, nope not at all. I played a couple of them, but there’s a nifty YouTube video chronicling his journey in Greece!

    • wcSyndrome@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s not required to play the previous games, there is some reference to them and the emotional impact of one scene may be diminished but that’s about it. I’m sure there are video recaps you can watch if you decide to skip the previous titles

• hperrin@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Horizon: Zero Dawn is an incredibly good game. The story is amazing. I think you should play it next. I haven’t played any of the other games, though.

  source

  • citrusface@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I will second this. I am a casual gamer - it is very uncommon for me to 100% a game. I put 120 hours in this game. It thought it was brilliant. Shooting arrows just feels great, Aloy is an awesome character, the world is dope, and I really enjoyed the unique story line. There are so many secrets and things to find. I highly recommend

  Bioshock

  BioShock! The others are going to take 10 years to get through, even though they’re all a good time. 😅

• iAmTheTot@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I'll be the outlier and say Horizon.

• GuStJaR@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Titanfall 2 then GoW in my humble opinion.

  source

  • bighatchester@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I think thats the plan . Got the first couple levels of titanfall 2 .

    source
• bighatchester@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Thanks for all the great feedback. I’m going to start with titan fall 2 and if I don’t have armoured core 6 by the time it’s done I’ll probably finally play through god of war.

  Bioshock aged poorly. Controversial take I know.

  Bioshock,tf2,gow,

  source
• RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I’d start with Bioshock. It’s definitely worth playing, but probably a bit dated feeling now. I really like HZD, it’s excellent, but God of War is by far my favorite. Combat is incredible, story is an awesome “not revisionist history” of mythology, and Chris Judge as Kratos is just 👌

  source
• Grass@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I liked but also kinda hated bioshock. All of them together. They are good games but all three show their age already.

  Horizon was enjoyable enough but it’s the same post apocalyptic plotline I have seen in a few other games and movies, one I could list without having to look up if I knew how to spoiler tag.

  GoW is excellent and it’s all about Mimir. I legit want Ragnarok on PC just for more Mimir. Please and thank you. My only gripe with the game is I went to do a bunch of side quests during the chapter where Atreus had his little shit phase and the dialogue became really weird and his attitude kept doing all kinds of flips and shit. My rec is progress main until he gets over himself before any backtracking.

  Titanfall no idea, never heard of it.

  I wish I could play BioShock again for the first time. It's an incredible game and absolutely holds up.

  Titanfall

• B0NK3RS@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  All good choices but I say go back and finish God of War first.

  source
• CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I vote for GoW, but if you are looking to snowball it, play TF2 first since the campaign is short but awesome! Then GoW. It’s decently long, but mostly linear. Then after that, probably Bioshock for similar reasons. Finish it off with Horizon, which can be as wide open as you want it to be, but you can also mainline the main quests to get a more streamlined story experience.

  Also, I’m the lead mod over on !playstation@lemmy.world so come join us over there if you haven’t already!

  All amazing. God of War has such a wonderful moving story and great combat. Horizon Zero Dawn is an expansive open world game with also a great story. It also has a lot of additional info in discoverable content, like logs to read and sound clips. So, it depends on how deep you want to dive, but I’d recommend both those games. God of war is more challenging on higher difficulties. I loved them both. Probably Horizon Zero Dawn just a little better than God of War, but then, I loved God of War Ragnarok more than Horizon Forbidden West.

  titanfall is god tier, others have covered that.

  horizon zero dawn i finished recently on my steam deck while travelling, it’s great and you basically can pause at any time except in cutscenes, which is a bit annoying when something comes up during important story points.

  bioshock i guess is not really my cup of tea, but i didn’t find that i was able to put it down and pick it back up. the game overall is quite slow, and all the branching paths means you can easily waste a lot of time.
