I've barely touched an online game in years, as my backlog of amazing offline single-player experiences is immense, and ever-growing.

I can always pick up where I left off or just start a new game and my W10 tablet can run it for at least 4 hours in offline mode with brightness turned down (as usual). I'll play that when I'm traveling (plane, hotel) and can't count on a fast computer or fast internet connection.

I prefer Civilization: Beyond Earth myself.

The Witcher 3 if you haven't played it yet, it was a truly amazing experience and right in the mix for my top 3 favorite games ever. It's two expansions, especially Blood and Wine, are also some of the best gaming ever.
