I wait a while when I buy games, for a reasonable sale price. I do that for two reasons.
1. I don't use the multiplayer aspect of games.
2. Sometimes I do not like games, even though they review well.
That means I have not yet bought Far Cry 5, or Assassin's Creed Origins.
However I find I am left struggling for something to want to play. I generally prefer first person over third person, but some games work better in third person. (Like probably Dark Souls games.) ... I do not buy consoles, so that rules out quite a few good titles.
I recently bought three games, of which two were third person. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and Shadow Warrior 2. ............. I hate all of them. Unfortunately I also paid more that I normally would, and risked buying them.
Over all though, so many games are third person. Good single player shooter games seem quite rare these days. Like I recently played Enemy Front in a bundle for about £0.50. A game which I think gets badly reviewed, although it is very expensive on Steam. It was such a relief to be back in first person, that it make a reasonably good game, feel excellent.
There's always replayability. However the games I have which I would replay, like The Evil Within 2, I only played recently.
Either I am just in a slump, or good single first person shooter games are getting rare. I have started to look through this thread for ideas. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2245942/favourite-video-game-playing.html
P.S. I am not into C.O.D. games.
