Navigating the vast world of video games can be tough; you want to spend your hard earned cash on a game that's rewarding and exhilarating but that's not always the case. Whether you need advice on first person shooters, genre-spanning games, or even mobile gamesGameranx curates comprehensive and detailed lists. Sometimes you just want to enjoy a game by yourself — party games aren't for everyone! So that's why their latest list comprises the top 25 single player games of 2016.

There are exciting sequels such as the indie Kickstarter-born The Banner Saga 2 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This sleek game melds anime influences with a role playing game format to create an adult mythical fantasy that echoes Game of Thrones. Another sequel is Gears of War 4 for Xbox One, due for release in mid October. Apparently their commitment to the story from previous games and precedent for stellar graphics is maintained and improved by its blended previous and Microsoft teams.

A common theme for 2016 is reissues, whether that's upscaling and remaking the game in crisp Ultra HD or reimagining it. The people behind Bioshock have done it, and now Ratchet & Clank has received the same treatment for the PS4. The levels share some similarities with the original, but what stands out are the new sections and enhanced weapon selection.

Watch the breakdown above for the full list.
