00:02 15 must-play linear games for unforgettable gaming experiences 02:41 God of War offers breathtaking visuals and engaging narrative. 05:27 Gears 5 offers intense shooting, open world exploration, and engaging story. 08:06 Experience the thrill of action, horror, and Western themes in Evil West 10:26 The Last of Us series is a must play 13:04 Experience the immersive worlds and compelling narratives of these linear games 15:37 Experience intense emotional journeys in these linear games 18:00 Firewatch offers a unique atmosphere of relaxation and intrigue through its vibrant art style and engaging narrative 20:15 Sefue offers intense martial arts gameplay with aging mechanic 22:32 Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a must-play linear game.
Control is one-of-a-kind of game imo. On the surface it looks like a regular 3rd person horror shooter, but the lore and game mechanism is definitely one of the best and unique out there
I agree. I played expecting just to kill some time and probably get bored quickly but I had quite a lot of fun with it. One of the better games in recent years.
Order 1886 great game. Graphics are insane but there is not really gameplay mechanics, thats the reason there won’t be sequel. Story was good. Vampyr also worth to try. I liked it
Nice list I;m a sucker for linear single player games Uncharted series is my all time favorite, God of War, and Last of Us are up there too. There are a couple in here I'll definitely check out, Thanks!
I can't be the only person who does this. I watch videos like this to smugly tell myself I have good taste because the list has a lot of games I played and love
Spec Ops:The Line is a 1/1. Visually the game is a paradise! And the ONLY game I've ever played I could NOT stop thinking about almost a week after completion.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 a bit, It's repetitive in the same way every other game is - you fight monsters. But it's a fresh setting and with it's own style. Doesn't overstay it's welcome and has more than enough variety of monsters, skills and weapons.
@@szymonsobczak2307 No not like other games. In the later parts it throws everything it have and drags on for too long. "Doesn't overstay it's welcome" are you kidding me?
Funny thing, in the Max Payne 2 van cutscene, the police officers are actually shooting at a wall. This can be seen if you're forcing 16:9 and rendering stuff on screen you're not supposed to see.
Mine is Halo 2. The story, the gameplay, the music, the atmosphere, the mystery, nothing I've played after has matched that feeling. A few games nailed certain aspects but never the full package. Cyberpunk is one of those games that came close, but it's not the fantasy/sci-fi genre I usually enjoy
@@shivammalhotra4328 IGN specialized in another type of content. If you ask me GameSpot,the gamer rant is better than them. Hey but IGN has very detailed gameplay guides on their site.
Vampyr is great . I played on hard and choose to feed on none. It was pretty hard but an way better experience because i love hard games . But the game has one big spoiler unfortunately. U cant feed on an certain person which gives away tge final boss
Order 1886 needs a sequel, there is so much potential in that world, story, characters and lore. p.s. i like the game but the 30fps lock is killing me 😢
How is Vampyr, linear? Hell, most of these arent exactly "linear" cause they present metroidvania elements like GOW for ex, with some backtracking and exploration. Vampyr, however, is very semi-open world
@@GG22n wtf does skill have to do with anything? Open-world is trash because its 90% fillers/padding/sidequest/fetchquest/collect-a-thon bullshit nobody wants to do to make the game feel "bigger" and "longer". waste of money and time.
@@pixelcount350 Except Im not. But if youre into doing a bunch of busywork and chores in games (which are supposed to be escapism), more power to you. I have enough chores at work.
Except Detroit, Firewatch and (maybe) Sifu none of these games are nothing special that they would stayed in your head for some time after complete. Baldurs Gate 3, Red dead 2, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, Stubbs The zombie, Assassins Creed Ezio series, Days Gone (if you get into that through slow start- didn't mind to me), Dishonored 1, Mass Effect 1-3 and on and on and on.. These are the games which leaves mark in your brain.
People should stop putting games like god of war or last of us in lists like this. I dont mean they're bad but everyone know about them and talks about them like ALL THE FUCKING TIME and its making me tired

I installed and tried control twice because of positive reviews but still can't get to 1 hour. So uninstalled twice
@@shfd3832 Well everyone has different taste and preferences so it's understandable. Cheers
Me too@@shfd3832
Brilliant trip of a game. Loved every part of it
I hated it, the setting that never changes and the faceless symbiote type enemies got old fast
I'm happy to see Evil West made the list....it's easy to overlook it.
Great video! Very well written and narrated, and perfect with the small snippets of gameplay at the end of each game's discussion. :)
I absolutely loved Evil West, such a gem, don't overlook it it's a ton of fun
Regenerating bullets make no sense though.
@@Irizz96 it's a made up world brah...
Garbage optimization on pc unfortunately. Almost unplayable on winter level
@@Irizz96 Who cares
I agree. I played expecting just to kill some time and probably get bored quickly but I had quite a lot of fun with it. One of the better games in recent years.
Great list, here are some games I would also recommend.
Prey 2006
Doom 2016
Quake 4
Alan Wake
Metro series
Shadows of The Damned
Half-Life
Bulletstorm
I like you list man of culture
you are trying too hard kid
Nice list! I'm playing through Evil West right now and loving it. I'm going to check out Vampyr and Order 1886
Order 1886 great game. Graphics are insane but there is not really gameplay mechanics, thats the reason there won’t be sequel. Story was good. Vampyr also worth to try. I liked it
Vampyr was amazing. It took me by surprise
Vampyr is a straight up hidden gem and definitely worth playing.
I heard a lot of meh about it.. should I get vampyr?😊
Finished Evil West! It was over the top and a lot of fun. Definitely recommend it.
It's always nice to see Firewatch on the list.
Nice list I;m a sucker for linear single player games Uncharted series is my all time favorite, God of War, and Last of Us are up there too. There are a couple in here I'll definitely check out, Thanks!
Uncharted is a great series hopefully they make a new one at some point but will be weird without drake although I enjoyed lost legacy
Linear games > Empty open worlds
Great list! Still quite a few on there I haven't had time to play yet.
At last a list that is actually good compared to hundreds of ratings I've seen. Great job. You earned a sub
Evil west is just UTTERLY amazing!!!
I can't be the only person who does this.
I watch videos like this to smugly tell myself I have good taste because the list has a lot of games I played and love
Evil West is so much fun. Better than you would believe. Try that shit!
Spec Ops:The Line is a 1/1. Visually the game is a paradise! And the ONLY game I've ever played I could NOT stop thinking about almost a week after completion.
SpecOps: the Line - i love this Game. I wish for a Remake
Help I skipped 20 seconds and landed on 18:32 ☠️
People are sleeping on Evil West. I've no words.
It's kinda repetitive

@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 I mean like what you like my man. It dragged for you, for me it was just right. dunno what to tell you:D
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441I didn't get the feeling it dragged on, it ended at just the right time for me. And I'll even do a rerun in the future.

Thank you for this list, I've been roaming way to much open world
My favorite story in a game so far is cyberpunk, got so many emotions: joy, hype, surprise, depression
Mine is Halo 2. The story, the gameplay, the music, the atmosphere, the mystery, nothing I've played after has matched that feeling. A few games nailed certain aspects but never the full package. Cyberpunk is one of those games that came close, but it's not the fantasy/sci-fi genre I usually enjoy
Yes i love them lineae stories to be honest, keeping them things classic and simple❤
Nice list, for the most part lol
Evil west is awesome 😎 , love a new dark watch game
Gaming is not only My Passion,it's a Religion for me and 1 day I will create a History in Gaming,no matter whatever the cost.
No dude wtf not like that
What you mean like a book or series on evolution of gaming?
Been there. Having a couple of kids ought to reset that passion and religion.
Bro we all love games but trust me as you get older you won't stop loving it but you'll have a lot less time 😂
It’s not a religion.at least I hope video games aren’t something you think are a higher power
Great list. Gears 5 is one of the best games ever made. It should have won game of the year.
I think it’s time to RTX Remix SpecOps, what do you think?
Damn The Order 1886 is such an awrsome game with awesome lore.I wish we had more out of that world.😢
Bioshock is the best linear game of all time
That was one of the best lists
The fact that Halo MCC isn't on here is criminal
I've just unsubscribed from Gameranx and subscribed to this channel.
Keep it up!
why not both?
Bro Gameranx is a really valuable channel for the community. Much better than IGN
@@shivammalhotra4328 IGN specialized in another type of content. If you ask me GameSpot,the gamer rant is better than them. Hey but IGN has very detailed gameplay guides on their site.
Great list
Linear games are cool as well!
Great vídeo! ✌🏼🤓🎮
Control is the 🐐
I'll add Days Gone to the list as well. Such an amazing open world action survival like game
Open world games can't be called linear though it was a masterpiece
Not playing Evil West is, in fact Evil.
Titanfall 2 should be added in this list.❤
What's the game at the very start? I'm thinking Uncharted but I'm not sure. Thanks!
Jedi fallen order, control, and God of war are linear but also inspired by metroidvanias with open ended exploration
Where is the TOMB RAIDER series?
Devil may cry 3 & 5 should be on this list
Dmc 5 is too easy and forgettable
You missed A Plague Tale
maybe i should try this linear games as well, since i play RDR2, other open world game never feel the same again😂
Max Payne 2 is the best thrid person action I have ever played. It's classic.
😂😂 you got a long way to go
Everyone loves Evil West. I enjoyed it for a little bit but it got way to repetitive with enemies and even level design
id say dishonored 2 should be on this list
Vampyr is great . I played on hard and choose to feed on none. It was pretty hard but an way better experience because i love hard games . But the game has one big spoiler unfortunately. U cant feed on an certain person which gives away tge final boss
Farcry 3 should've been on the list bro
Far cry is an open world game, not linear.
what game was showcased in the thumbnail?
evil west i think.
@@mjdawd4846 thanks man i wasn't sure it the cowboy zombie game the one jake baldino from gameranx was so excited about
Witcher 3
Thats not a linear game
18:34 😭
Dont forget the 2021 Guardians of the Galaxy game
All games played and explored except order 1886 as it wasn't on pc
Order 1886 needs a sequel, there is so much potential in that world, story, characters and lore. p.s. i like the game but the 30fps lock is killing me 😢
the graphic quality was ahead of its time. No wonder people think it was more to demo material prior to ps4 release. what a waste of potential.
I don't know why gears 5's on the list, instead of the original trilogy, but okay.
How is Vampyr, linear? Hell, most of these arent exactly "linear" cause they present metroidvania elements like GOW for ex, with some backtracking and exploration. Vampyr, however, is very semi-open world
Anyone have a TLDW list of all 15 games?
If you never played Evil west nothing will happen if you just skip it and play Resident evil Village or new remaster of Resident evil 4 instead
Ooooof there are a few real stinkers on this list
Evil West wasn’t fun to me. Way too easy
Then change the difficulty
@@easyCashout10 gameplay still boring
uncharted 4 was not fun at all. so boring but it looked good
to bad the order will never be released on pc
God of War 2018 is not a linear game.
Linear games are the best games.
Open-world is shit
skill issue

How is read dead redemption not in this
The red dead games arent linear they are open world games and you can choose from a couple missions at a time
People should stop putting games like god of war or last of us in lists like this. I dont mean they're bad but everyone know about them and talks about them like ALL THE FUCKING TIME and its making me tired
I never bothered with Vampyr because you can't turn off the stupid annoying health bars. Developers are dumb.
❤
Linear games aren't good, better to watch someone playing it. Literally a movie
Good list but many of these games have multiple endings and so therefore are not linear games.
Linear in the sense, it's not open world. You go from chapter to chapter.
Evil is an awesome game but with lots of bugs. My gameplay wasn't saving from particular stage and I couldn't finish it.
Ah yes, all those twisted twists.
gears of war 5? gtfo
Sorry, but Control is garbage. The ending ruined every good will I had with it.
Played it. Beat it. Don't remember a single thing about the story.
"Must play linear games" is an oxymoron.
I DON'T PLAY linear games. They are all movie wannabe shit.
Life is not linear.
Why are you hating brother? Every game is created with a good intention
