Basically a game that would make you say 'This is an excellent game' both in singleplayer and multiplayer modes. Co-op campaigns don't count as a separate multiplayer mode for this

In the past, a large portion of singleplayer games came packaged with multiplayer modes that were almost as much if not more fun than the main campaign. Nowadays we have to pick one or the other.

Only one that comes to mind for me is unironically Call of Duty (great might be a stretch for the campaign, but eh)

 

[The Stig]

MGS3 subsistence. (When MGO was still active)

 

[T4keD0wN]

Great singleplayer and multiplayer? Sorry, sounds like thats asking for way too much nowadays if coop doesnt count.

Cant really think of anything besides a few NeatherRealm games, Titanfall 2 and Age of empires.

Feels like things are dire when Warcraft 3 Reforged is unironically one of the best things i can think of.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Games have gotten so expensive to make that only titles on the scale of Call of Duty can have the financial and human resources to make both a single and multiplayer mode with that kind of ambition.

 

[German Hops]

Halo 3

StarCraft 2

 

[Spaceman292]

Titanfall 2 DID. Now it just has a kickass single player campaign and a multiplayer that doesn't work anymore.

 

[BossLackey]

Released in the last 10 years?

Could probably count on one hand.

 

[MonkD]

Ghost of Tsushima

 

[Captain Toad]

Does PS3 Last of Us still count as modern?

 

[IDKFA]

Titanfall 2 DID. Now it just has a kickass single player campaign and a multiplayer that doesn't work anymore.

Titanfall 2 is the winning answer.

Not only was the multiplayer incredible, but the single player campaign was up there with Half-Life 2. It was THAT good.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

G.O.A.T.

 

[BusierDonkey]

Splatoon has great SP and MP

 

[FritzJ92]

Halo Infinite eventually became that, but not at first.

I'd like to also include Forza Horizon 5, Returnal (unless co-op doesn't count), Elden Ring, COD, Borderlands, and GTA V of course.
Edit: Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and Splatoon.

 

[MetalRain]

XCOM 2 has excellent campaign and I guess somewhat interesting multiplayer, players really play it differently than AI.

 

[Fuz]

I really have to try out Titanfall, do I?

I need one more life.

Yeah, T2 was honestly special. Managed to innovate in both singleplayer and multiplayer in the same game during a time fps games were getting stale.

 

[Stephen Curry]

Halo 3 and nothing else comes close

Is MP still active? I see it on gamepass but always wonder if we and my buddies can still play

 

[Alebrije]

TLOU1....its Multiplayer is great saddly is abandoned by ND and full of cheaters.

Does PS3 Last of Us still count as modern

Halo 3

Halo 3

I don't think those games count as modern enough If you consider they started production in the early 2010s/late 2000s.

Great examples of how things used to be nonetheless

No Idea. Haven't checked in years, but I heard stories about how the game's ben adandoned for apex or something like that

 

[Bartski]

Ghost of Tsushima with Legends, TLOU with Factions.

 

[TheAssist]

I'd say Ghost of Tsushima.

Played it for 50 hours in single player and another 50 in multiplayer. I was actually sad when they made the multiplayer easier, because the combat was so fun that I enjoyed the incredible difficulty on some maps.
Also, really fun in coop as well.
It actually made me purchase PS Online.

 

[Yoshi97]

I kinda disagree with COD, its single player is pretty meh imo, at least if you compare it to past fps games like half life, halo, goldneye etc. Splatoon is the only modern thing that really comes to mind. It's pretty embaressing imo that a game like goldeneye (a 1997 game) has a great single player and multiplayer but modern devs can't do it now (especially in the fps genre).

 

[WoJ]

Probably doesn't count and some will disagree....but Mass Effect 3.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Modern? I don't know.

Old Games. Socom I/II.

 

[Ogbert]

Destiny 2.

 

[Tg89]

Splatoon 2.

 

[LegendOfKage]

I need one more life.

The PSN sale has it for five dollars right now, if you care to try the single player campaign.

 

[DragoonKain]

Halo 2 in the master chief collection. Halo 2 IMO remains the greatest non-single player only shooter and best non-RPG shooter in existence all these years later. I include it in modern because it was redone in the master chief collection. It looks gorgeous, it still plays incredibly great. It’s one of the GOAT games and as far as I’m concerned it’s the GOAT shooter. The campaign is amazing, the multiplayer is a ton of fun.

 

[Pelao]

I dunno, but I had a blast and was pretty good at Metal Gear Online, especially the Portable Ops and MGS4 versions.

 

[{insert code here}]

Probably doesn't count and some will disagree....but Mass Effect 3.

This eventually became my favorite game of the trilogy and the multi-player is why. Lots of fun and one of the better implementations of horde mode I've ever played.

To answer the OP I'm gonna say Doom 2016.
