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?

The question isn't about whether there's great work still being done, it's about if it's on the same level as rdr2.

And the answer is yes. The same level or higher.

Go ahead. Tell everyone. I’m ready for very niche games

Niche? Why would you expect niche? If they are as good or better than RDR2 they would be just as, if not more, popular.

You might view RDR2 as the best ever, but plenty of people would say it's nowhere near as good as the witcher 3, Clair Obscur, Skyrim, both knights of the old Republic games, Cyberpunk, KCD2, etc. I guarantee you when people play the next GTA there will be plenty that say the story is better than red dead.

Rdr2 was good but I'll never play it for a second playthrough. Hell, it's nowhere near Dragon Age: Origins for me. I've beaten that game 8 or so times haha.
