yksinpeli

Yksinpeli is a Finnish term that translates directly to "single-player game" in English. It refers to video games designed to be played by a single person, without the need for or involvement of other human players. In a yksinpeli, the player interacts with the game's artificial intelligence, story, and environment to achieve objectives, progress through a narrative, or explore a virtual world.

These games typically feature a single-player mode as their primary or only mode of play. The experience is focused on the player's individual journey, often emphasizing storytelling, puzzle-solving, strategic thinking, or skill-based challenges. Many genres of video games can be played as yksinpeli, including role-playing games (RPGs), action-adventure games, strategy games, and puzzle games. The appeal of yksinpeli often lies in the ability to experience a story at one's own pace, immerse oneself in a rich narrative, or master complex gameplay mechanics without external pressure. It provides a personal and often contemplative gaming experience.
