It's not really a single single player game, more a set of specific genres: "Ubisoft open world", "Immersive sim" (especially Arkanes), "Bethesda RPG" (Even 76 which ye cna play pretty much solo), "Walking Sim" (a genre I fell in love with this past year)
Walking sim is a genre? Are there more than just Death Stranding?
Walking sim is basically any game where you wanter around observing the world with minimal interaction, not just a game with a lot of walking.
Some foplks may not classify all these as walking sims but I would.
Also Firewatch. I wish I could go back and play that game for the first time.
I don't normally enjoy many walking sims, but something about the pacing and delivery of Firewatch nailed it for me. Didn't overstay its welcome and kept me interested enough in the story that I think I did the whole game in one or two sittings.
This is one I have on my to play list.
(Though I am currently occupied with modded fallout 4)
