The best games where you play a campaign 2023
Looking for a really good game where you live through a scenario or play a campaign/mission? Then we have just the thing for you: the list of the best campaign games 2023.
What are campaign games?
Campaign or scenario-based games are based on a variety of different maps, starting resources and positions. Most of the time you will be given specific tasks that need to be completed. In some cases, different win and lose conditions can also be applied. These variable conditions can be combined into a broader narrative or campaign - but they don't have to be. They can also be integrated completely independently.
By the way, "campaign games" are also called "scenario games" or "mission games".
Examples of games where you play a campaign game
A good example of a campaign game is The Crew. Here you have to complete progressively more difficult tasks. The whole thing is set in a continuous space scenario.
Most Legacy games are also campaign games - but in contrast to campaign games the game world or the game material changes permanently.
