campaign mode
Story-driven single-player
Campaign mode is the single-player story component of a video game, as distinct from multiplayer or competitive modes.
The campaign typically follows a narrative arc with scripted missions or levels: I finished the campaign mode before trying online matches.
Some games are praised for their campaigns while others treat them as afterthoughts to multiplayer.
