By that, I mean a game that received no video game sequels/prequels, spinoffs or next-gen remakes.

Base game + all its DLC being all we got at most.

Until the sequel comes out....The Last of Us kinda counts!

Looking at my steam library standouts include:

Sleeping Dogs
The Wolf Among Us
Va11-Hall-A

Indie titles seem like a really good source for these types of games, as far as I know Undertale and Stardew Valley have no sequels or spinoffs either.

let's up the ante of this

No HD remasters
No System ports
Characters from game have never guest starred in another game
at least 11 years since release

using all these stipulations the best game is

Body Harvest for the N64

I think a lot of DS games haven't been ported to anything.

Now who here's a big David Cage fan, cos I don't believe Indigo Prophecy/Heavy Rain/Beyond share the same universe.

For now, since Last of Us pt. 2 is already announced, I think it's Horizon Zero Dawn.

But Horizon is almost definitely gonna get another game before too long so I don't think this answer will last.

I dont think Wolf Among Us counts since its actually a prequel to a comic book series.

Anyway, the answer is Undertale.

Does Terraria count? There are a lot of similar games (Starbound) but as far as I know, no actual sequels/spinoffs.

The connections are pretty minor, more on the level of cameos (but definitely a thing). With minor tweaks it could be a standalone game.

Heavy Rain and Beyond were remastered for PS4, and Fahrenheit was multiformat to start with, then got a PC rerelease with minor improvements (and censored content restored in the US version).

My answer- Tachyon: The Fringe. Space dogfighter with two faction storylines, awesomely abusable 'slide' mechanic, and main character voiced by Bruce Campbell.

Only other three serious considerations are Blast Corps, Iggy's Reckin Ballz, and God Hand, so if you don't wanna have the VN != game discussion I'll vote one of those instead

G-Senjou sucked though (At least the 15 hours I played of it)

What's Radical Dreams' relation to Chrono Trigger again? Either way Chrono Trigger gets knocked out due to Cross.

I don't know if these other Square games like Live A Live and Xenogears are standalone.

I do know there are some big fans of Lost Odyssey out there.
