The Best Single Player FPS Games of the Last 10-ish Years (post Crysis)

[cucker tarlson]

Yes, with relatively scare ammo. It's an action game more than a shooter.

same as deus ex isn't a shooter but a stealth game.

I probably ruined dying light by playing through it on the ps4, with friends,but i did enjoy it.

better play it on ps4 than not at all,but I gotta say the experience of freerunning on a pc @120 fps with ulmb is pretty intense and immersive,it felt almost real life to me.

Had not played Titanfall, yet. I thought it was just a mutiplayer game.

tf2 has a short sp campaign but one worth playing.had some fun with it myself

Very fresh, and from what I've heard so far - has some progression-stopping AI glitches, performance issues(non-RTX related) etc. I'd wait for a year and a couple of patches before even thinking about adding it to any top list.

I played though Metro Exodus twice and i did not run across one bug or hiccup. If it was in the list i would have chose it.

Well after being a high Hz denier I tried overclcking my monitor, it won't do much best would be 85Hz at 1440p but I noticed a big enough difference that it's informed my next monitor purchase.
That's unfortunately a three year plan since I got this monitor not long ago and in three years 4k high fps should be more achievable.

Loving farcry 5 atm i was churning through ghost recon Wildlands but a third of the way in it's getting so samey, it's lost me.

GR Wildlands should be played as an 'explore Bolivia' simulator. When you're bored from the sightseeing, start shooting Works like a charm for me, every time I get back into it for an hour or two. I recognize what you're saying though, there's a lot to do and most of it is the same thing.

Glad to see you joined the high hz darkside Prepare to waste even more money on GPU.

quake 2 evolved and doom 3

I voted Bioshock Infinite for bringing a good story (that game should've even be a shooter), Doom for being a proper shooter (like Duke Nukem Forever should have been), and Wolfenstein, because, SJW or not, it is the grandfather of all.

The metro series are by far the best single player games I have played since halflife was still getting updates.

Amazed to see Doom winning. I thought it was one of the most boring games I've played in many years. Boring gameplay, no story and nothing really stood out. The graphics and performance was good but Wolfenstien was similar and blew Doom out of the water in every other way possible.

I voted for Deus Ex Human Revolution. Fun gameplay, excellent story, and enough choice in play style and approach while not becoming an open world grind.

I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. 1 hour in and I quit.

It's a FPS the same as Serious Sam franchise so don't expect it to be story driven.

Doom 3 had quite the lore, I loved reading the PDA's that expanded upon the lore and the history of the moon base. I wouldn't say that the entire franchise is Serious Samy, they just decided to bin storytelling after Doom 3

 

[phanbuey]

its just that it has guns that feel like cheesy air-soft guns, and enemies that act like you're shooting them with airsoft guns. the original doom/2 guns felt GREAT ... i mean the double barrel shotgun in that game - BOOM and the guy would fly backwards 20ft. It was great.

Now it's - run into a room - 50 dudes spawn... run around shooting them in the face 500 times then punching them, then proceed to the next room.

snoozefest.

That's likely why I haven't bothered to go back playing it since the last attempt.

 

[Regeneration]

Doom is the best FPS from that list and the only one I wanted to beat in a single session.

Sounds a lot like my experience...

^ this. BF1, and Farcry 2 are the only FPS i've ever "meh" quit like that.

 

[Vario]

I was really disappointed when I got the chainsaw, and then click a single button and it automatically instakills a hell knight.

 

[biffzinker]

Farcry 2 are the only FPS i've ever "meh" quit like that.

I haven't bothered with purchasing anything Far Cry since Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon because nothing about the sequels has managed to get my attention.

Hmm, no mention of Stalker? That really cheekis my breekis.

 

[uuuaaaaaa]

DooM 2016 was the only thing that really captured me after Crysis. Specially in nightmare difficulty, it was a treat of a game!

 

[cucker tarlson]

things I like about doom 2016:
-atmosphere
-visual design
-graphics
-music
-pace
-variety of guns and fire modes

what could be a lot better is the overall formula of the game.power up and kill more enemies,then power up and kill even more.to me it's just too predictable.

it's a great 8/10 game,but it's nowehere near being the best.far cry 3 and prey were both much better.as for a fast paced shooter I personally prefer shadow warrior 2 over doom and would also pick dying light as a much better game overall despite it's mostly melee.


also,no mention for any of the dead space games ?

Crap, you're right, its borderline 10 years

3rd person. Same reason I can't really nominate Spec Ops the Line, though I would love to.

I really liked Hard Reset Extended Edition but it isn't for everyone. https://store.steampowered.com/app/98400/Hard_Reset_Extended_Edition/
