Whether you're into colourful open-world titles that lets you shoot endless infected mutants or physics-bending third-person action games unafraid to toy with reality, Xbox One is full of great solo ventures set to delight players that enjoy a good video game story. Want to be gripped by a solo narrative? These are the best Xbox games for you. Sadly, Xbox One's tenure may have since been replaced by the Xbox Series S|X at the tail end of 2020, but the 10 best single-player Xbox One games are still playable on all Xbox machines, so are still worth celebrating with an official ranking.
It’s in Sony’s hands now though, and if it ain’t making Spidey money, maybe it just doesn’t care enough to revive a game so intrinsically linked to its biggest rival.While the Xbox eco-system may have been known primarily for multiplayer during the Xbox 360 era, the Xbox One overturned this and eventually grew into a brilliant platform in which to enjoy great first-party and multi-platform single-player adventures, too. But I’m still having so much fun with it, and keep finding myself hoping that maybe one day this property will be brought back from the dead. Despite its inventive parkour and zany tone, nearly everything else about it is either predictable or archaic in the worst way. It could have been the start of a new franchise, or at least worthy of a franchise, but instead remains playable in its original state will all the foibles that continue to hold it back. This game is bright, colourful, rebellious, and takes inspiration from countless classics while making sure to also craft its own distinct identity. I don’t believe Sunset Overdrive is worthy of the reverence so many laud upon it, but I also understand perfectly where these people are coming from. I dabbled with it back in the day, but now I’m jumping in for realsies. Love my family, but this article isn’t about them, it’s about a lovable little gem called Sunset Overdrive that I’m finally getting around to playing after all these years. I then had to lug that bastard and all my other belongings across the country on a train journey because my parents weren’t willing to give me a lift back to campus. It’s been almost eight years since the game came out, and I remember getting an Xbox One bundle with a white console and digital download of the zany open world adventure for Christmas mere months after I started university. Even ahead of release, fans were enraptured by its colourful tone in a market filled with bland shooters and predictable blockbusters. Whenever Insomniac Games’ Xbox One exclusive is brought up in conversation a bunch of people will jump in to defend it - showering praise upon its creative parkour, fast-paced combat, and batshit humour that never once tries to take itself seriously. Sunset Overdrive is a beloved little gem.
