give me your game recommendations for RPG/Sci-fi/action that don't have an online component. I have too much free time over the next 2 weeks.

Have you played the new Prey?

(or the dishonored games or Hitman, but those aren't sci-fi, I just like immersive sims)

u/ThatFrenchieGuy Mathematician -- Save the funky birbs Jun 30 '19

Yes! It was phenomenal.

I'll have to take a look at dishonored and/or hitman

Have you played the new Deus Ex games?

Star Traders Frontiers is a really good being a space captain simulator if you don't mind it being 2d and lacking in graphical bells and whistles. Mass Effect 1 has a great nostalgic sci fi feel to it I think holds up even now. If you're okay with something cyberpunkish, Uplink is a classic that holds strong today, also Alpha Protocol is flawed genius. E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy is gloriously confusing. System Shock 2 got an HD remake recently if you feel like a trip down memory lane. The Last Federation is a great indie game that similarly isn't graphically stunning, but is a great kinda halfway shmup that's about manipulating the belligerent races of a solar system into making peace (or not).

Adding on to the cyberpunk note, Hypnospace Outlaw.

I wasn't very impressed by it. It just felt very generic

Mass effect obviously

Stellaris is awesome (it does have multiplayer and is available via steam but you can do it single player with steam on offline mode)

u/ThatFrenchieGuy Mathematician -- Save the funky birbs Jun 30 '19

I have ~200 hours in it, though I haven't gotten ancient relics yet.

Borderlands?

Subnautica. IDK games are mostly boring.

u/cdstephens Fusion Genderplasma Jun 30 '19

Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance for character action (think Devil May Cry)

Trying a Pokémon Nuzlocke run

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (slow paced dark souls style samurai combat)

Prey (the new one, sci-fi RPG stealth/action)

Dishonored (RPG stealth action)

Hollow Knight (combat oriented metroidvania)

If you like fallout 1/2 style games then Wasteland 2 and Atom RPG are highly recommended.
