Best single player games to play in 2026

[Marc]

Been looking to fill my backlog with some proper single player experiences this year. Already smashed through Elden Ring and BG3 last year. What are you lot recommending for 2026? Open to anything - RPGs, action, horror, whatever. Just needs to have a solid story and good gameplay.

Honestly if you haven't played RDR2 yet that should be top of the list. The story is unreal and the world still holds up. I also went back to Cyberpunk 2077 after the Phantom Liberty update and it was like a completely different game compared to launch.

RDR2 is a must. I would also throw Hogwarts Legacy into the mix if you are into that sort of thing. The exploration is really well done. And obviously the trainers here make revisiting older titles way more fun if you want to mess around without the grind.
