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 .

Thanks for the great feedback and love the username. I am also a puzzle slut myself with probably about 30 different Rubiks cubes .
Also, Titanfall 2 can pause very fast but it does take you out of the immersion
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?
I’ll eventually get around to it !
He said “would you kindly play BioShock”?
Sorry but I said the magic words, you have no choice but to play bioshock.
Titanfall 2 has a great gameplay and surprisingly good story with the added bonus to not try to lock you in for 300 hours for no reason with stupid boring side quest or “activities”.
I would start with that.
Agreed. Titanfall 2, then Horizon next.
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.
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!
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.
Do you need to have played the earlier games for it?
I got this with my PS4. I already had the GOW 1&2 collection for PS3, so I figured I’d beat those and maybe get 3 first. But the first game is… rough. I’d say it hasn’t aged well, but honestly I don’t think it holds up to its contemporaries well.
I played it on-and-off for a few years now and finally beat it a couple weeks ago. I’m debating if I even want to bother with the 2nd game now.
I would say no. The earlier games are very very different types of games. If you played the earlier games, I think you’ll appreciate Kratos’ journey more but it’s not necessary, imo.
Definitely not, I played GoW 2018 first. I loved it so much that I went back and played every other previous GoW before GoW Ragnarok came out. The others are very different (but still very fun) games, and it definitely makes you appreciate Kratos’ story better, but they are by no means essential.
Like everyone said, nope not at all. I played a couple of them, but there’s a nifty YouTube video chronicling his journey in Greece!
It’s not required to play the previous games, there is some reference to them and the emotional impact of one scene may be diminished but that’s about it. I’m sure there are video recaps you can watch if you decide to skip the previous titles
Titanfall 2 is an absolute gem. All of those games are great, but my love (and vote) falls on titanfall
Bioshock, such a good game and story!
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
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.
Bioshock
Titanfall 2 then GoW in my humble opinion.
I think thats the plan . Got the first couple levels of titanfall 2 .
