History [ edit ]
As the narrative and conflict in single-player gameplay is created by a computer rather than a human 9️⃣ opponent, single-player games are able to deliver certain gaming experiences that are typically absent—or de-emphasised—in multiplayer games.[15]
Single-player games rely more 9️⃣ heavily on compelling stories to draw the player into the experience and to create a sense of investment. Humans are 9️⃣ unpredictable, so human players - allies or enemies - cannot be relied upon to carry a narrative in a particular 9️⃣ direction, and so multiplayer games tend not to focus heavily on a linear narrative. By contrast, many single-player games are 9️⃣ built around a compelling story.[16]
