Alas, more often than not, I’ve come back empty. I have trawled through forum posts and Steam community pages sailed the high seas of Steam’s ungodly categories page and wished upon the starry sky that by sheer luck my long-sought-after treasure would fall upon my lap.
So, for many a night, I have struggled in search of the crème de la crème of offline bots. Two-year-olds are playing video games now, right? Frankly, if I can avoid being forced to tears by a child, I’ll take that option. It’s simply the case that my inexperience and lacklustre first-person-shooter skills would result in being berated by people twenty years younger than me. That, however, does not mean I have no interest in multiplayer games. It is that after years of not having access to a stable enough internet connection, I no longer have any interest in playing with others online. It’s not that I am still cursed with a single minuscule ethernet cable. Since the Xbox 360 era (henceforth known as the golden age of offline bots), we few who still don’t play online games have been overlooked when it comes to shooter content.

Without the internet, I couldn’t play it. Unfortunately, the moment I got home, my dreams of playing it were crushed. It was glorious, unlike anything I’d ever played before. But, when I was thirteen(ish), every day after school I’d pop around my friend’s house to play TF2. Understandably, my unhealthy obsession with strategy games and Sims 3 comes as a result.
It meant I could never play multiplayer games at home. Unfortunately, our “gaming computer”, a ten-tonne white brick that sat in my bedroom on a little pink table, was too far from the ethernet cable. All we had, up until I was sixteen, was an ethernet cable the size of a floppy piece of spaghetti. *This guide will be updated whenever any new titles are discovered or released
