Game suggestions please

Are there any games that play similarly to DMZ in COD, ie looting and shooting and AI enemies but without the horrid toxic human players?

My boy and I thoroughly enjoy the sneaking about, being careful while looting, and then action of the shooting (we love the feel of the weapons in DMZ) but are really fed up with being constantly killed by human players just because we are there. Are there any games that can give us a similar experience but which are only PvE?

I've seen some mention of some of the Rainbow Six franchise games but don't really want to shell out for two copies without some certainty that they'll be what we're after?

Left-field option, but what about Halo MCC? Either co-op campaign or things like Firefight?

(doesn't have sneaking about though)

I did consider the Halo games but we both prefer the more 'real world' type setting.

Sniper elite 4 and 5 are super cheap and have co-op but are very similar as each other and while the campaign maps and DLC maps are varied they're really just a change of scenery with the same core mechanics. You can be as quiet or as loud as you like too.

You might enjoy The Division as a co-op experience as well and keys will be super cheap. Despite being 7-8 years old it still looks fantastic too.

The Division might be a good shout, seems to be cheap on ubisoft connect... Looks to be a bit like Dying Light but with more guns and less zombies, which sounds good.

Any other suggestions would be great.

How about the Payday games? Maybe not so much looting of gear/weapons as such, but definitely has the sneaky side nailed, along with the shooting when it all goes wrong

Ah yes, we got Payday 2 on Epic recently, and really enjoyed it.

Probably a bit too advanced and a very steep learning curve, but Escape from Tarkov is excellent, extraction-based looter shooter, although this does have PvPvE, also should be noted that it's still in Beta but is very well supported.

Other than that, The Division/Division 2 and Destiny 2 (Although possibly a bit late in the day to jump into that now), both are heavy and mainly PvE based, but you can also jump into PvP / PvPvE if you want to change things up a bit.

The division and division 2 are excellent shooter games in pve and pvp.

Division 2 - it has an 8 hour free trial on Epic games launcher (probably also on ubisoft) and its more co-op than solo play. Really good game - I'm still playing through the free trial

It was £5 on cdkeys the other day

More votes for The Division, I shall definitely check out that free trial, great to see what a game is like before paying out for it. Any idea which version I'd need to get for the CD key, there seems to be a few a they vary in price hugely?!

Boarderlands series maybe? although its more run and gun.
left 4 dead - witchs anyone?

I may have borderlands knocking about on Steam or Epic, might check that out.

Left 4 Dead we have played a good deal of, the joys of Witches and Tanks!!! lol


Any other suggestions very much welcomed.

I tried to have a look at The Division 2 demo yesterday but sadly, although Epic let me add it to my library, it just shows it as unavailable so I can't install or anything.

I think I'm going to have a look at Wildlands as I've watched a good few videos and it looks pretty good fun, and seems to offer a lot of what we are looking for, eg sneaking and shooting! lol

Just to update this, I got hold on Wildlands over the weekend and gave it a whirl. Loved it! Got a second copy for my son and when I had him Tuesday evening we played for a couple of hours and he loved it too! Looking forward to playing ith with him over the weekend and spending a good few hours wandering about, sneaking up on narcos and soldiers and sniping them from afar!
