Arthur Morgan may not be the lone gunman, but Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best single-player games out right now.

Although Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order doesn't offer much new information about the Star Wars universe, players will soon be satisfied with this action-adventure journey. Fallen Order takes place between the prequel and original Star Wars trilogy, or after the execution of the Jedi.

3. The Outer Worlds

Like a combination of Fallout and Borderlands, The Outer Worlds is a light-hearted adventure, in your own way, full of quirky creatures to battle. Missions force players to make tough choices. While combat is the main part of the game, the story is equally heavy, requiring you to search for information and chat with NPCs instead of just focusing on combat.

4. Death Standing

Death Standing is the latest game from Hideo Kojima, the designer behind the hit Metal Gear Solid series. The game is set in the United States in the aftermath of a cataclysmic event known as the "Spin of Death", allowing destructive creatures from a realm between life and death to capture moving head on Earth. You play as Sam Porter Bridges, a transportation worker tasked with informing and connecting the scattered colonies of human remnants.

5. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Sekiro has a tough combat system that makes it one of the most challenging adventures out there. Set in Sengoku Japan, Sekiro puts you in the role of a fallen warrior who is resurrected by supernatural forces to report prison. In this game, there is no enemy that can be taken lightly because you always need to use skills to defeat them. Just one miscalculation and taking a fatal blow can lead to your death.

6. Fallout 4

When Fallout 4 first came out, it didn't have much content, but the addition of DLC and mods changed the player experience completely. The world of Fallout is a post-apocalyptic time, where survivors must battle bizarre creatures to save their lives.

7. The Last of Us Part II

The recent release of The Last of Us Part II has attracted a large number of gamers, offering an incredible story, memorable characters, and gameplay that is almost evolved from the previous game. When it comes to solo adventures, not many studios do what Naughty Dog does - the team has come a long way since their Crash Bandicoot days.

8. Ghost of Tsushima

Critics and players alike have loved the game's open world, combat experience, and stunning visuals. Ghost of Tsushima was an important departure for the production of Sucker Punch. In the game, you play as a samurai tasked with saving his village on the island of Tsushima.

9. Final Fantasy VII Remake

Final Fantasy VII Remake is a game that you can easily over 40 hours to play. Though its storytelling is more linear than a lot of the games on this list. This is great for those who want to focus on the game's story and characters without having to worry about traversing a huge open world. There is a time and place for that, but the linearity of the storytelling will quickly point you in the right direction. Here's a remake that works better than you'd expect. And while it has some shortcomings, it's overall one of the PS4's best single-player games.

10. Resident Evil 2 (2019)

If horror is your favorite genre, look no further than Resident Evil 2. This remake takes the original 1998 PS One and upscales it to suit current hardware needs. Capcom puts everything in this game, from the stunning visuals, to the pacing and storytelling in which the characters intertwine. Another unique feature is that the in-game map is so useful that you'll have to flip it over and over again.
