Alot of the time I’ll be playing will be in-between calls at work so being able to pause any time is important. The only one I’ve played is god of war but I never finished it .
Titanfall 2 is one of the greatest games of all time (I would say it is easily a top 50, maybe even a top 20). The singleplayer campaign is just ridiculously well designed and even has a surprising amount of pathos in the narrative.
But if you are likely to be regularly interrupted? Horizon Zero Dawn. most of the story quests are 10-15 minutes each and you can just do the checklist open world the rest of the time.
Thanks for the great feedback and love the username. I am also a puzzle slut myself with probably about 30 different Rubiks cubes .
Rubics Cube
Second for Rubiks cube. Though since it’s in a solved pattern, they probably know how to solve it. Still fun to get faster!
Third for Rubik’s cube. Solve one in each hand at the same time.
Would you kindly play bioshock?
Titanfall 2 is an amazing game. It’s single player is one of the best - it never gets stale as there’s always a new mechanic, both as a ‘pilot’ (soldier) or in a titan, to master or a twist you didn’t see coming. The story itself is top notch, and it’s length is good.
If I remember right, you can pause at anytime, even in cutscenes. They’re not long though.
Plus, the multiplayer has been fixed just recently so you can vs others in some of the best feeling combat any game has to offer.
I’ve never played the others though, so feel free to go with them.
I’ll second this. The gameplay is super tight and intuitive, and easy to play in bite-sized chunks. The story is more thoughtful and interesting than it has any right to be. I was really shocked how much I enjoyed this game, it completely took me by surprise. Only downside imo is that the actual storyline is short, like just a few hours. Pretty good replay value though.

People tend to understate how short the campaign is. Phrases like “it never gets old” are used, but it’s true because, as you mentioned, the campaign is one of the shortest you’ll find in anything close to a AAA game.
Edit: Not to say it’s not a great game, because I think it is. But it’s a great game that you’ll finish in potentially a single sitting.
TF2 multi-player is still active?
Yes! Respawn actually released a patch the other week and there’s 1000s playing again.
Wow I didn’t realize titan fall had a single player that sounds great
The second one does, the first does not
Titanfall 2 might fit that scenario the best. Great story but easily payable, lots of quick action, not crazy long and pretty much on rails unless you’re a collectible completionist.
Bioshock, such a good game and story!
Bioshock!
There’s no wrong choice there.
Titanfall 2 then GoW in my humble opinion.
I think thats the plan . Got the first couple levels of titanfall 2 .
Horizon: Zero Dawn is an incredibly good game. The story is amazing. I think you should play it next. I haven’t played any of the other games, though.
I will second this. I am a casual gamer - it is very uncommon for me to 100% a game. I put 120 hours in this game. It thought it was brilliant. Shooting arrows just feels great, Aloy is an awesome character, the world is dope, and I really enjoyed the unique story line. There are so many secrets and things to find. I highly recommend
Titanfall 2. Its the only game I’ve ever played to successfully integrate time travel in a way that makes sense and feels good. They could have built an entire game around that mechanic alone and you only get it for a single level.
Also, the campaign in general is top-notch storytelling for an FPS.
I’ll be the outlier and say Horizon.
Wow, surprised nobody recommended God of War. It’s by a mile better than any other game in the franchise, won game of the year if memory serves right. And then when you play that one you get to roll into Ragnorok which is arguably even better.
Bioshock
Thanks for all the great feedback. I’m going to start with titan fall 2 and if I don’t have armoured core 6 by the time it’s done I’ll probably finally play through god of war.
