@@iamme8770I was just about to write that 😂😂
Bruh starfield being in this list is an L
They just lost all credibility
Star fox 64 is much more superior
It's definitly a W and goes to show they're not a bunch of casual gamers and actually appreciate gameplay design on it's own regardless of technological barriers, BGS always made niche games that weren't for you casuals, they just happened to get big after Skyrim because Skyrim was a casual type of game, but Starfield is very much like there older games, akin to Daggerfall, where the amition is so much higher than the tech can make it smooth enough, thus you get technological cutbacks in areas they deem more irrelevant to the actual gameplay intself, it's niche games like these where the idea is good enough that it doesn' need to have fancy graphics, animations, or citizen AI, it's about actually doing something in the world instead of going on random rampages though a city and against it's police force or being cinematic over everything else that matters like gameplay. Starfield is a gamers game, games like GTA and TLoU are a moviegoers game, but they're not impressive gameplay wise, it's all smoke and mirrors, unlike Starfield, which actually has real gameplay and much deeper interaction.

Horizon ForMIDden West being on this list is the real issue. That game fucking sucks 😂
As someone who liked Starfield, i was shocked to see it here on this list
I think they also put Starfield above TOTK on their GOTY list. I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
It deserves it
@@Cappurnikus opinion can be bought with money
@@whenisdinner2137 lets not forget Skyrim exists and was made by the same company yet it wasn’t mentioned
And anal! @@LoneWolf-tk9em
This list is hilarious. Some goober in the writer's room just said, "Let's include EVERY GAME ROCKSTAR HAS EVER DONE, all the top rated games of 2023, and then some other random games."
This video is certified written by AI 😂
@renaudsimard7717 actually that's a pretty good explanation.
they also only included the sequels of games despite the originals being better, its just another cash grab list made by someone who doesnt play games
It's all single-player game you goober
I was shocked to not see The Last of Us on this list. The narrative is gripping and gets the player heavily invested in the relationship of Joel and Ellie.
So many games that should be on this list, The Last Of Us, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 7.... The fact that they put 3 different GTA games on the list shows they really didn't put a lot of thought into it
@@stickman4087I don’t know about Ghost of Tsushima but the rest are pretty valid
There was no room because Starfield had to go up... Starfield is simply one of the best games of all time..😅😂😂😂😂
I turned it off after 2 hours and refunded it.
yea the last of us part 1 was one of the best single player games I've played
I wasn't really that shocked, I was more shocked to see starfield at #1 lol
could’ve titled it “24 of the best games and starfield“
Skyrim, New Vegas, Cyberpunk 2077? how can you not put them in the list
Starfield though.. 🤣🤣🤣
games like gears 3, starfield, including both rdr games and multiple gta games on here but no fallout or elder scrolls is wild
The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Bioshock, Resident Evil 4 and Assassin's Creed 2 were also great picks.
the dude put starfield #1. literally discard this list.
Most of these lists are opinion pieces - or internal staff votes - so there are no wrong answers. I do think they should preface it with "these our OUR picks for"...
If it were my list, the Quest for Glory series would be on it, even though I'm well aware many wouldn't even know what it was. :p
Bioshock (2008).
2007*
Starting the list off with Starfield has removed all credibility
Says you!
That was a strange choice but the list is quite good actually
Cry more
Did I upset your room full of potatoes?
@@whenisdinner2137
@@HolyCross9 Says 99% of people. Wouldn't even put it in the top 20 games released this year.
I'd personally include Metro series in this list. Most atmospheric 3 games I've ever played.
Single player games are the best they have so much heart and story
Speaking of underrated gems and if you are looking for something that sticks with you long after the credits roll i strongly recommend SOMA one of the craziest stories i ever experienced in gaming
There you go, good deed of the day done ✅
SOMA was a crazy one. 100% sticks with you after you finish it. Great experience.
@@frozenninja4030I agree what an amazing story, and the atmosphere was incredible.
Since this is a video of "all times" think it's vital that Skyrim would need to be included on this list.
Exactly that game packed the divorce courts. 😂😂😂😂
Skyrim, Sekiro, PREY, and many more which are 100 times better than woke spider movie or other current day AAA movies.
Morrowind or NV deserves starfields slot without a question. Skyrim was good but not best of all time, neither was starfield tho I guess lmao
@@Jiub_SN And 3 first gow games were much better than BORING cutscene maraton Raknarök.
This man really put starfield instead of SKYRIM on this list.
FO: New Vegas, Metro trilogy, The last of us, Doom 2016, Skyrim, Mad Max should be on this list
Mad Max is the biggest hidden gem in the history of gaming.
@@shalindelta7 AGreed 1000%. I finished that game no less than 3 times.. full play thru. I loved it.
I would also say NieR Automata
So many great games on this list and I'm glad GTA IV was on it cause it's probably my favorite GTA game. It's so different from the rest in the series. I just love the dark tone of it, the physics and the story, which is probably the best story of a GTA game so far. I'm really looking forward to GTA VI's story. I hope they make me care about the characters more than in GTA V.
Starfield being on this list over like litteraly ANY other better game is an insult to entire gaming as a whole.
I hope youshare share good and smooth and suitable specs for that king of offline games.
How to blow your own credibility: Mention Starfield in your best games of all time list and pretend money didn’t change hands 🤭
EXACTLY! Once I saw Starfield I disregarded the whole list. They dont even have Last of Us 1 or 2 on here. Buhahahaha!
also a bias towards Rockstar. Like nearly EVERY single GTA and RDR is here. What a waste of slots.
@@KapitanPazur1 woah calm down , they are amazing games
What a great video ❤👌🔥
Not! Neither Last of Us game on here? Buhahahahaha!
I think Farcry 3,4,5 and 6 are all really great games. I didn't get into the series until after 6 was released - so playing them in order over a couple months was a pretty great experience. Really looking forward to 7.
Where is GHOST OF TSUSHIMA???
Genma Onimusha is a better samurai game
Alan Wake 2 was a chore and a bore to play, one fun dance scene does not excuse 15 hours of tedium.
good luck playing baldurs gate 3 then
I was expecting to see Crysis, that game changed many things for good.
0:24 "...and with this feature we'll be taking a look at *25* of the best single player games of all time"
14:32 30. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
"25 games" uh-huh
for sure AI
@@WolfStory Or the editor stopped caring and just want to start his holiday vacation as soon as possible lol
@@BrokenNoah Haha yeah thats probably it.
No XenoBlade Chronicles Games or Persona Games smh 🤦♂️
Shenmue, Quake 3,Doom, Silent Hill, Skyrim, Age of Empires, Warcraft 3, Diablo 2.. Many are missing from the list
all of the nerd games
I only played RDR2, and at the end of the storyline, I realised it is actually a prequel of RDR1.
My top 30
1) Bloodborne
2) Witcher 3
3) Red Dead Redemption 2
4) Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
5) The Last of Us
6) God of War 2018

26) Lord of the Rings The Third Age
27) Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets
28) Ghost of Tsushima
29) Warriors
30) Devil May Cry V
Starfield shouldn’t be on this list, it needs to be replaced by either Skyrim or cyberpunk
Putting Stanfield on this list is a joke. It's not on a list of 100 single player games i want to play
Horizon is a much bigger joke...
@@whenisdinner2137 Their spot is actually deserved, unlike Shitfield
@@Shane3125 Agreed
@@whenisdinner2137horizon is a far better game than starfield
Including Starfield as "one of the best single player games of all time" really tells me all I need to know about this list.
PREY, Quatum Break, Skyrim etc. Would be included into my list.
NO WAY YOU PUT STARFIELD ON THIS LIST !
Starfield has no business being on a 2500 best single player games of all time list, much less 25.
entrance with starfield made me close the tab lol
This feels like a few different lists smashed together.
"Here's a list of some random videogames."
bioschock, prey, Resident evil 4?
GTA 3, Alan Wake 1, the last of us, Arkham Asylum or city.....
Prey is criminally underrated
Cyberpunk over Star Field
“You sir, are a fish”
-Arthur Morgan 1899
FFXVI is a bold inclusion, considering there are...at least 15 others in the series to choose from. 😂
I liked 15 better than 16
Stop watching after starfield which was the first one mentioned 😂
Same here
Exactly.
Games that are missing from this List in my Opinion:
Bioshock 1 or 3
The Last of Us 1 or 2
What remains of edith finch
But hey, i am happy that far cry 3 gets some love xD
Bioshock 3 was a donkey's ballsack.
Nice additions, but I don't get the FC3 crowd. I personally started w 4, then 5 and 6 and then went back to 3 and found it incredibly boring. I think 4 is my favorite.
@@bettergetdave 3 is maybe the most cohesive
BioShock 2, I think you got your numbers mixed up.
@@bettergetdave for me (i was rather Young Back then) it was one of the first Open World Games i played. But looking Back at it now it was the first Far Cry Game to have those fun Mechanics with Outposts, Progression, Fluid Shooter Gameplay and a cool Villain without those lame Side Missions in Far Cry 5 and 6 plus it is rather short which I Like more. Or maybe it has the nostalgia 🤔 Bonus
Max Payne 1.Soul Reaver.Condemned criminal origins.Dishonored.
I highly doubt whoever wrote this was alive or maybe just a baby or too young during that era. Maybe Dishonored.
Wow. Starting off with a failhorn with Starfield.
you are crazy if you actually think starfield is deserving of top 15.
The Last of Us is not in the list. That’s just crazy, how did you miss that one
Zelda ocarina of time was an unbelievable. Should make the list.
Glad to see Horizon Forbidden West on this list. Along with the Burning Shores DLC, Forbidden West took an already incredible gaming experience and made it even better in the second installment. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Could not finish this video. How the hell is starfield on this list?
Syphon Filter needs a comeback
i like how they said 2023 edition while some of the games did not come out in 2023
I can’t see this channel the same way I did a few minutes ago before I found out botw isn’t on here
Not having Super Metroid or Symphony of the Night on here is a crime against humanity.
Even to this day Legend of Legaia is one of the best single player games
*starts with starfield
*closes video*
Same here. I don’t want to see the rest of
Is GamingBolt part of the Microsoft deal??
Clearly.
Ghost tsushima, God of War 3, Ninja Gaiden2, Spiderman 2 ps2, RE4, Bioshock, telltails walking dead s1, and last of us. Who can forget about theses masters pieces
“It’s a toy boat”
-Arthur Morgan, 1899
How the hell star field is there not cyber punk ?
Who made this list ? Where is:
The Last of Us 1 or 2
Cyberpunk 2077
Skyrim
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Hogwarts Legacy
Doom
....
Haha, clicked off the video when starfield was the first cab off the rank.
You for real 😂
Was gonna watch this game for recs then i see star field make the list 💀
Let’s see. Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Ninja Gaiden, Mike Tyson Punchout. Mega Man. There’s also a bunch of good Atari games too
This channels lists are freaking hilarious.
They purposely left some games out so we can run it up in the comments lol. No RE4 on the list was definitely a smart move lol
Exactly. Dropping a "this n that of all time" video every once in a while and doing a halfassed job is always good way to rack up fan interaction.
and including Starfield lmao
The fact that Knight of The Old Republic is not on here is the true insult.
Totally agree. OR The Last of Us. Dumb and lazy list.
"first 30 games to come to mind of all time".
I feel empty when I finished elden ring and feeling full again when I played baldurs gate 3 (3x replayed different path)
and now I feel empty again
Ghost of Tsushima deserves a honorable mention
No it doesn’t. Why do people give treat that game like it’s a masterpiece? The side characters are bland, the open world is filled with repetitive content, and the mission design also gets repetitive quickly.
@@YesNo-yl6wsso I'm not the only one
@@someone7068 Nope 🤝 and to think people called me crazy for it
Ghost of tsushima is one of the best games out the art design / graphics are up there with any top game
@@YesNo-yl6wssounds like a good game to me lmfao
the fact that this list STARTED with STARFIELD was just awful. I loved starfield, would NEVER even think to rank it among the top 25 single player games of all time.
Damn this is genuinely one of the worst lists i have ever seen. I even thought it was a joke after the 4-5 rockstar games in a row 😂
I agree 1000% with you. Especially seeing Starfield on here but no Last of Us. What a joke.
Shenmue, Ghost of Tsushima, Detroit become Human, FF7 , Skyrim & so many RE games should be on this list !
I guess all I have to wait longer to get a better laptop to play all this games
The best single player game of all time is Half Life 2. The best fps game of all time is Half Life 2. And the best game of all time is Half Life 2.
Mass Effect 2 is the second best game ever.
Even recency bias doesn't make Starfield being on this list okay.
Bioshock 1 and Infinite should be on this list IMHO.
Don't disrespect Bioshock 1 with that garbage.
@@kieranhudson4938bioshock infinite was amazing
How in the hell do you have Starfield but not The Last of Us on this list??? This video isn’t real.
Gaming Bolt adds Starfield to these lists either because they're paid by Microsoft or because they know it'll trigger lots of comments, which helps the UA-cam algorithm. Either way, it is lame.
Extremely surprised red dead redemption 2 did not make it on this list…
Well, this list was released with some obvious jank but i guess you expect the modders to fix it😊
There is no way Starfield was put on these guys best single players of all times ..... I wouldn't even put it in the top 100,000 and i didn't even dislike it compared to most people
I don't think starfield should be on this list I would put no man's sky over that if I had too choose apart From that it's a good list
STARFIELD but no Shadow of the colossus? 💀
State of decay 2 needs to be on here
starfield being on this list is a joke
Agree 1000%... even bigger joke that The Last of Us is not on here. Just lame.
No Zelda Ocarina of Time? No MGS 1? No Chronno Trigger? No original GOW (1,2 and 3?)? Baldurs Gate 1, 2 and 3? No Dark Souls? Starfield made to this list??? Even though I disagree with this list (a lot, actually), it's good content .
Baldur's Gate 3 is on the list @ 13:04
Having snoozefest Starfield on here and NOT The Last of Us is a friggin joke.
There is not a single bad Yakuza game. But none of them are on the list!
You do understand it's only 25 games right?
They are all bad, bro!
that japan game fuucking boring and bullshit anime HENTAI power effects fuck. sleeping dogs much better.
that japan game fuucking boring and bullshit anime HENTAI power effects fuck. sleeping dogs much better.
finally ya got something right with Arkham City. Thats easily a top 10 though.
Why do ye not post a list with tine frames...
So you are forced to watch the whole video
You forgot to add prototype 2.🎉
i don’t think i’ve seen a worse list
I was hoping for a few more obscure titles.
The whole Mass effect trilogy is much more superior to Starfield....a diverse star cast in every sense of the word! Unlike Starfield with just a bunch of humans in space...
I'll play everything and have already played something in bluesatcks in a competition
Can’t believe you put Alan wake in over Max Payne 1 or 3
Max Payne 3 said no one ever 😂😂😂
Bro who made this list, why is Spider-Man 2 there 💀
L list without SLEEPING DOGS 🐐 I am 1000% sure it's better than half of the games from the list !
Starfield got buddy on the payroll, I see.
horizon forbidden west, spiderman 2, gow ragnarok and totk had no business being on this list when their original counterparts were so much better
