Recommend FPS campaign I might have missed

Kmodo · 13 Oct 2017 at 02:50

Like lots of people it seems, I buy loads of games but barely ever play 90% them. Games I've actually completed from past 10 years are as follows:

Crysis, Crisis Warhead, Crysis 2&3
FC3, Blood Dragon, FC4
Titanfall 2
MW1,2,3
BioShock infinite
BF1
Wolvenstein New Order & Old Blood
Bulletstorm (& again with Full Clip)
The Darkness 2
Doom 4

I've finally realised what I actually enjoy are relatively short FPS, action packed campaigns with nice graphics. What I hate are FPS games like the new Prey where I'll play for an hour get bored and feel like I haven't accomplished much/wasting my life. Have started playing Dishonored 2 yesterday which seems good and I'll run through that non stealth. Despite the FarCry games I'm not a fan of RPG elements (crafting, skills or repeatable missions) and completely skipped this.

I upgraded my GPU a couple of months back and want to make the most of it.

Based on my game list and descriptions are there any recentish FPS campaigns I might enjoy?

You played Dying Light? It's not really a shooter though it's outstanding, Has some "Skill levels", (Just throwing it out there)

The Metro games should be right up youre Street.

Hard Reset Redux is good fun.

Shadow Warrior might be worth a look. There's a demo on Steam, so you can see if it's your kind of game before purchasing.

Wolfenstein : The New Colossus.
Destiny 2?... Although it might be a bit 'meh'.

*Obligatory Half-Life 2 suggestion*

Shadow Warrior 1 & 2
RAGE
Spec Ops: The Line
Singularity
Alien Rage

Prey isn't a first person shooter anyway though.

Got Shadow Warrior for free on steam recently but not checked it out yet. Own Hard Reset but never played much more than hour. Was probably more into multiplayer games at the time. I will at the redux to my wishlist now and pick it up cheap when it is on sale

I do own Dying light but only 108 minutes gametime, think like Far Cry Primal it was too melee and not really my thing

I can currently get both the Redux on steam for £5.60? I'll pick them up then

Do plan on picking up the Wolfenstein later this month but will skip Destiny, not into grind games

Neither is Spec Ops. It's a brilliant game though and I enjoyed it a lot despite not really going for third person shooters that often.

You're right, I forgot it was 3rd person. Gameplay is pretty much the same as 'straight shooter' though. Class story wasn't it.

If you've never played F.E.A.R by the way it's one off the best first person shooters ever.

Agreed, completed and really enjoyed the first but never bothered with the subsequent games at the time as they looked like console ports.

If you don't have the redux version then I wouldn't pay out more for it unless, of course, it comes up in a very heavily discounted sale. As far as I'm aware, there's not much between them.

Thanks for the list and I will have a google at the games now

What do you mean Prey isn't a first person shooter? It is in first person and you shoot aliens with guns and other projectiles?

EDIT: FYI I thought Prey 2006 was brilliant and I did complete that one but 2017 I found so boring (5 hours in and I'm done)

Well ok yeah technically its in first person and you shoot enemies but its more of a survival horror/action adventure in terms of gameplay as apposed to straight running and gunning. The games strengths are in the exploration, looting and crafting and the combat tends to be more strategic - if you run head on into enemies as you would in a normal FPS game you'll likely die unless you're towards the end of the game and have acquired and levelled up your alien powers. 'Shooting' doesn't take centre stage in Prey.

The second one is decent - not at the same level as the first but still worth a play through.

Graphics ain't everything.

Far Cry
Project: IGI
Deus Ex
Call of Duty
RTCW
MoH:AA

DOOM(2016). Bit of back tracking, but game's really well made/optimised. Great music too!
Older game, but Painkiller series.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.
