I bought a series X about 6mths ago after a fairly long hiatus. Having issues finding games I like as I don’t ‘do’ online gaming and seems every new gen game has more and more online content.

I like a good driving game for short sessions. Have got the new Forza and FH5. Downloaded dirt 2 last week which I’m not gelling with on the account of me being rubbish. One crash and that’s the stage ruined, no rewinds!

I like a good sandbox or big map solo adventure. Far cry, sniper elite types. As in not so big they weren’t finished properly before release, that don’t force a particular style of play. Downloaded battlefield 5 which was exactly my kind of game, just too short for single player, finished it in a few evenings play.

Never played anything like Skyrim but also don’t think they’ll be my bag. Same with fallout.

Lastly any zombie or horror type Blast em ups aren’t my thing either.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for games I might like. Doesn’t have to be amazing graphics, I only bought the x as my one broke. Happy to expand beyond my admittedly limited range of titles. Only real firm point would be no online content, I just cba’d with it tbh.

thanks so far. i might try gamepass. is that free with xbox gold? i used to have that to do coop missions on sniper elite with a mate, but he lives in a totally different timezone now so i let it lapse. might rejoin if a PH forza lobby gets set up.

i think my main issue is that i've never really been a 'proper' gamer. so things like cyberpunk strike me as being an rpg and something to avoid. i guess ive tended to only play the big releases in my preferred group [gta, red dead, sniper elite, far cry types] intensively once through each then never play them again, and use forza for time killing.

Went to buy snow runner from the Xbox store but cyberpunk was on sale for $30, so downloaded that instead. Will give it a whirl!

Went to play cyberpunk, immediate 44gb update!

I guess that means no bugs though so that’s all good.

Played the first couple of missions, hoping it opens up to be less ‘fed’. Graphics look absolutely amazing!

I finished cyberpunk at the weekend and started phantom liberty. Over 70hrs total play.

Took me a while to get into it, and I must admit I skip a lot of dialogue, but what an incredible game. Thanks to those who recommended it.

Have you tried far cry? There is a crafting element but I ignore it and don’t think it adds much, fc6 largely did away with it. RPG based but when you get going is easy to dip into for an hour. I’m the main it’s a sandbox shoot ‘em up, no strategy involved.

Sniper elite also great but 30mins wouldn’t get you far each time. Even rushing a level is maybe 2hrs gameplay. Very satisfying and weirdly relaxing, shooting ze Germans in the head and scurrying off.
