From scripted scenarios and predictable fights, we went to advanced AI enemies and different, unpredictable reactions from NPCs in games like Red Dead Redemption 2. Interaction: In this aspect single-player games have developed a great deal. In those games gameplay is mostly stripped just to walking and exploring small aspects of the story (as opposed to jumping, shooting, etc.), however, still you can see how much players and reviewers love those games. This is extremely well represented by single games for VR (tech aspect of the immersion) and recently the trend of games that are completely focused on the story like Firewatch or the Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
As a gamer I must agree, a single player game design allows the creators to go much deeper into the story and manipulate the player’s emotions as compared to multiplayer games. Immersion: While modern multiplayer games like League of Legends, DOTA2 and MMORPG games like World of Warcraft or RunEscape all have pretty sophisticated worlds, characters, locations ,and lore, I do not think it is possible to argue that they are more immersive than the best single-player games like Half-Life 2 or The Last of Us. So Let’s have a look at aspects that divide players and decide on their preference to choose one or the other much more frequently. The majority of them (like this, this, this and this) strive to prove that a single-player is the cornerstone of gaming. Surprisingly, even though it is a well known fact that multiplayer games are more popular (and are, indeed, more profitable) while searching up the web for an article arguing multiplayer's superiority I could find just a few. With Esports, co-op, free-to-play, game-as-a-service and many more, I think we are at the moment that the distinction between single and multi is deeper than ever. In 2020, we are so past the point when the ‘multiplayer’ feature was just a small addition to most games to make them a little bit more long-lived.
