A lot of people prefer playing games on consoles over PCs for a lot of different reasons. The consoles, for instance, are easily accessible and you don’t have to spend big bucks on a PC to play a AAA title. Two of the most famous consoles available right now are the Xbox One (One X & One S) and PS4 (and PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro). There is healthy competition between both the consoles, with some exclusives on both ends and many games common to both. So, if you are looking for the best single player games for any of the two consoles, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a list of the 17 best single player games for Xbox One and PS4.

When you finish the game you will either hate it or consider as one of the best games of all time. I fall into the latter category. So don’t read the reviews, play the game and find it out for yourself.
The game lets you swing across buildings and hit them your enemies hard in combat that looks like it was heavily inspired by some of the Batman games that I’ve played in the past. I am not going to ruin the story by giving away too much. But I can confidently say that it’s one of the best games to come out in 2018 and you must pick it up if you haven’t already.
If you’ve played the previous Uncharted titles (which, you should), then you’ll feel at home with this one. The overall gameplay/ playstyle remains the same. It’s the game’s story and the visuals that make it a perfect game in almost every sense. You also get to fill the shoes of young Nathan Drake and understand what his early days were like. Also, once you’re done playing this one, you can also pick up the ‘Uncharted: The Lost Legacy‘, a standalone Uncharted adventure starring Chloe Frazer.
Witchers are once-normal humans who went through intense physical, mental, and mystical training to become super-humans, and they are in the monster-hunting business. The game is vast and has built-in mini-games that are more enjoyable than many full-fledged games that you can find. You can easily spend hundreds of hours in this game, just doing the sidequests, and you will never be bored.
Life is Strange is an award-winning and critically acclaimed episodic adventure game that narrates a beautiful story. It is the second main entry of the Life Is Strange series. The game is about two brothers Sean and Daniel Diaz, who are forced to run away from home after a tragic incident in Seattle. The game will tell you everything about what happened in their lives and how the duo head to Mexico while attempting to conceal a sudden and mysterious supernatural power.
The Tomb Raider, as we all know, is a highly popular franchise. There were a lot of expectations from the Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and needless to say, the game managed to win my heart. From stunning visuals to enjoyable gameplay, Shadow of the Tomb Raider gets a lot of things right.
Horizon: Zero Dawn is an action role-playing game published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game narrates the story of Aloy, a hunter in a world overrun by machines. She is on a mission to uncover her past, so be ready to meet a lot of new characters and unravel an enjoyable story.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is also a critically acclaimed game that’s worth picking up. The game was praised for featuring a variety of mechanics and interconnected systems which allow a high degree of player freedom. You can either the stealth approach or go guns blazing, the choice is yours.
Avalanche Studio’s Just Cause 4 is the fourth game in the series and the sequel to 2015’s Just Cause 3. JC4 is a third-person action-adventure game set in an open world environment, in which you play as protagonist Rico Rodriguez. The game is set in a fictional South American country called Solís, where you take on the world’s most powerful private army.
Battlefield V, the latest entry in the Battlefield franchise is one of the best first-person shooter games around. The game has a short and crisp story mode and EA games seem to have put a lot of emphasis realism. The game has gorgeous visuals and it looks good across all the platforms.
The Far Cry franchise is yet another Ubisoft gem, which is hard to ignore when it comes to single-player games. This time around, the game is set in Hope County, a fictional region of Montana, United States. The story revolves around the Project at Eden’s Gate, a cult that rules the land under the guise of a leader named Joseph Seed.
Grand Theft Auto V is a game that came out back in 2013, and I’d say that it has aged really well. It’s still one of the best Rockstar Games title out there, and it looks like it’s going to be up there until a new Grand Theft Auto title arrives.
Resident Evil 7 is another game in the horror adventure series Resident Evil. It takes a first-person shooter approach, and this new angle and setting help Biohazard to stand out as one of the scariest game in this series. The game has a strong setting, thanks to the Dulvie Plantation. It also has a decent storyline, which we can’t say much about because of spoilers.
