Single-player games, for instance, tend to be the superior choice for presenting story choices that actually matter. But each genre of game has areas where it especially excels. To be clear, I am not saying that MMOs are superior to single-player games across the board. That is one area where the MMORPG is always going to be superior. The thing is, single-player games aren’t great at being open worlds. Despite the popularity of these games, though - and despite the fact I myself enjoy them at times - I can’t help but feel this in some ways the wrong direction for gaming to go. These days it seems like sprawling open worlds are becoming an ever more popular choice for single-player games, from the newer Assassin’s Creed titles to the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West.
