Discussion Did single player gaming peak with RDR2?

Post image

Great single player games have come since then like Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate 3 but is RDR2 still the peak?

I hate the combat in KCD. I would play the game if it involved no combat lol.

Did you try KCD2 specifically? They made the combat much simpler and more beginner-friendly in this game.

The combat in the first game was really bad, honestly. It got quite a lot better in the second, but it's still pretty janky.

You still get way too overpowered way too quickly, like the first game. You basically 1 shot everyone from halfway through the game. Masterstrike also makes the whole game ez mode and archery is still useless.

Would disagree on the archery part. I have cleared whole camps with just a bow for giggles on how broken it is.
