As light as the year has been for triple-A releases, there have been some quality single-player titles, from Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree and Silent Hill 2 remake to Astro Bot and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Original IPs are a bit muddled because while creating brand-new settings, stories and characters is encouraged, there’s nothing wrong with leveraging existing properties for fresh adventures in the gaming space.
