With graphical upgrades, including a frame rate increase, Halo: The Master Chief Collection is a must-play. Try playing the games back to back; you won’t regret the decision.
9 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
This kart-racing game is bound to blow your socks off. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the definitive edition of Mario Kart 8, which is playable on the Nintendo Switch. It is rendered in 1080p, providing one of the most (if not the most) exhilarating kart-racing experiences around. This version includes every track from the Wii U version, as well as all of the DLC. It also introduces new features such as a revamped Battle Mode and new courses. Also, new characters mean this is one exciting offline console game!
8 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
This beat ’em up fighting game was a nominee and a top contender for the best game of 2019 award. Ultimately, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate didn’t win the game of the year at The Game Awards, but it did manage to snag the Fighting Game of the year award.
Nintendo released its most bold and ambitious fighting game yet with the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It contains every fighter and who has appeared in the game, as well as most stages. Nintendo is continually releasing new DLC characters, making this offline game a must-play!
7 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a runaway success, and it might be one of the most enjoyable Star Wars games yet. Its expansive world, gripping story, and new gameplay mechanics are only a few of the things the game brings to the table. Carving a path, you’ll learn much about the Jedi way.
According to gamesradar.com, “Respawn is already hiring for its next project set in the Star Wars universe.” It seems all but certain that a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is on the way. Could we expect any less from developer Respawn Entertainment?
6 Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
Technically, this is the second kart-racing game to appear on this listicle. It’s becoming abundantly clear that kart-racing games never go out of style. Kart-racing games became popular in the ’80s and ’90s, but are now making a return.
This game is fast-paced, heart-pounding racing. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled won the Sports/Racing Game of the year award at The Game Awards, which is another reason to play this game. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has a steeper learning curve in comparison to other kart-racing games, which makes wins more satisfying.
5 Death Stranding
As one of the most divisive games of 2019, Death Stranding is one of those games you either love or hate. From the mind of renowned video game developer Hideo Kojima, this game is an adventure like few others. The beginning of the game was criticized by many, but it evolves into a highly enjoyable game. Delivering packages is likely the dullest part of the game, but the story and cutscenes are brilliant. For an experience that’s different from the norm, we recommend playing Death Stranding.
4 The Outer Worlds
Developer Obsidian Entertainment’s latest role-playing game, The Outer Worlds, took the gaming world by surprise. It tells a spacefaring tale about a colonist who is revived by a fugitive scientist. Scientist Phineas Vernon Welles’s intent to revive frozen colonists and liberate them sets the story of the game in motion. The Outer Worlds is an amazing modern role-playing game, and its single-player adventure will leave you speechless! It’s one of those great games you can replay over and over.
3 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
This game needs no introduction since it is one of the most highly acclaimed games of all time. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a role-playing adventure that can’t be missed. Contrasting from The Elder Scrolls Online, this game is played entirely in as a single player. Questing and hunting is a timeless experience in this game. Although the main story is short, the number of side quests and bits of the story give it huge replay value. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is widely available on most platforms.
2 Resident Evil 2
As one of the hottest games of 2019, the Resident Evil 2 remake brought a new experience that is somewhat familiar. In this game, you get to choose between two different storylines that crossover during the game. Whether you choose to play as Claire Redfield or Leon S. Kennedy, the game is bound to provide a thrilling experience.
Unlike Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil 2 is a lengthy experience. It’s a series that has been ported more times than we can count. Now, we are looking forward to seeing as many Resident Evil remakes as possible.
1 Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an amazing game that you need to play. Its combat system is unparalleled due to being so refined. Using a variety of weapons and gadgets, players will find themselves immersed in its world, which is filled with imposing bosses and enemies.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice won the 2019 award for Game of the Year at the Game Awards. This is a momentous accomplishment since only one game receives this prestigious award. If there’s only one offline game you play this year, it had better be Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice!
