Favorite deep and larger solo games? (self.boardgames)

With the question for smaller solo games already posted I want to ask if any of you got some large and deep solo games. I'm usually someone who does enjoy longer, bigger and deeper games (not saying small games can't be deep). But when things get more involved and complex, that's where I feel at home.

Any recommendations?

I bought a copy of Trudvang Legends in order to solo play. The only reason I haven't solo played at this point is that I am playing it campaign style with my board game group, and don't want to accidentally spoiler alert myself until we are done. I love the combat mechanics of the game. I am sure I am being overly cautious but hey, I have to have something to do when I retire...

That game looks badass. I enjoy myself some nice combat mechanics as well as campaign games. I'll look into it a bit more!

My friend who owns the copy we are playing as a group played it solo, just controlled a few characters on his own. Since it's coop, it wasn't like a mental challenge to separate everyone. And the way it plays, where you make decisions and go to different pages in the book (choose you own adventure, or Tales of the Arabian Nights style) he had been to some of the scenarios we went to as a group. That is what I don't want to spoil for myself playing solo. I would rather do a run through as a group, and then I can go back and explore other options in solo mode. My hope is that they come out with more campaigns for this, or maybe a way to make your own campaign, and then distribute it for others to play.
