Onimusha: Way of the Sword Is Incredible | What’s the Best Single-Player Game Ever?

Onimusha: Way of the Sword continues to impress, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight gives us plenty to talk about, and this week we’re tackling one of gaming’s biggest questions: what is the greatest single-player game of all time?

This week on the Spawn Point Podcast, Cam and Jason dive into more Onimusha: Way of the Sword, check out LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Driving Rogue, and Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, before getting into a bigger conversation about how we actually judge video games.

Are numbered review scores really useful? Can a complicated game genuinely be reduced to a 7/10, 8/10, or 9/10? We break down why the traditional number rating scale often strips away the nuance that makes discussing games interesting in the first place.

Then we finish the episode with a full tournament to answer an almost impossible question: What is the best single-player video game of all time? Some legendary games enter the bracket, tough decisions get made, and there are definitely going to be picks people disagree with.

Join the conversation and tell us what YOUR greatest single-player game of all time is.

🎮 Games & Topics Discussed: • Onimusha: Way of the Sword • LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight • Driving Rogue • Hot Wheels Infinite Rush • Video game review scores and rating systems • Why numbered game reviews lack nuance • Single-player game tournament
