Singleplayer shooter Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is currently one of the most wishlisted games on Steam, and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-25-most-wanted-games-as-revealed-today-in-pc-gaming-show-most-wanted\/\">PC Gamer&apos;s most anticipated game<\/a> right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I could go on for the rest of this article about all the cool big and small singleplayer games we&apos;re blessed with these days, but I&apos;ll just point to <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/reviews\/\">our reviews section<\/a> and let that suffice.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"big-budget-games-aren-apos-t-dying-either-xa0-6\">Big-budget games aren&apos;t dying, either\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Larian produced some great games before Baldur&apos;s Gate 3, including <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/game-of-the-year-2017-divinity-original-sin-2\/\">PC Gamer&apos;s 2017 Game of the Year<\/a>, but BG3 is by far its greatest commercial success. I&apos;d wager that the D&#038;D license and all the animated smooching had a great deal to do with that.<\/p>\n<p>Making big expensive games is clearly still a viable, if risky, path to commercial success. Would Rockstar be wise to tone down the scale for Grand Theft Auto 6? Are we going to tell Hideo Kojima he ought to stop putting famous actors in performance capture rigs?

He hopes it can still find success.<\/p>\n<p>If it had come out in another year with less competition, maybe Immortals of Aveum would&apos;ve sold better, but I sort of doubt that another $10 million worth of marketing would&apos;ve done the trick. Lots of people are talking about Immortals now, and it&apos;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2009100\/Immortals_of_Aveum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on sale for $23.99<\/a>, but it still isn&apos;t rising to the top of Steam&apos;s top sellers list.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"some-games-just-flop-6\">Some games just flop<\/h2>\n<p>The Immortals of Aveum studio has been accused of &#8220;learning the wrong lesson&#8221; from its financial failure, but the quote that kicked off this discourse\u2014&#8221;trying to make a AAA singleplayer shooter in today&apos;s market was a truly awful idea&#8221;\u2014didn&apos;t come from Robbins. It was said by an anonymous former employee who <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/ive-never-seen-it-this-bad-game-developers-explain-the-huge-layoffs-hitting-riot-epic-and-more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spoke to IGN<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Robbins himself is <em>all about <\/em>singleplayer shooters. At <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/immortals-of-aveum-hands-on-preview\/\">a preview event<\/a> for Immortals of Aveum (see, EA did promote it), I asked him why he chose to make such an old-fashioned FPS campaign, because it reminded me a little of mid-2000s Xbox 360 games. He said that &#8220;well-crafted, scripted&#8221; experiences are just what he likes to make. Robbins was previously the creative director of Dead Space and worked on a trio of Call of Dutys.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"673zZWjmNFNwu6Rt3ftfP9\" name=\"immortals (8).png\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/once-again-i-am-forced-to-tap-the-singleplayer-games-are-not-dying-sign.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">An early Immortals of Aveum boss fight. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Ascendant Studios)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It&apos;s a respectable passion, but I&apos;m not surprised that a Call of Duty-style campaign with a story inspired by the waning Marvel Cinematic Universe didn&apos;t succeed in 2023.
