Hello. The past few months Ive been almost exclusively playing fantasy and survival games, so much so that I need a break from them.
Looking for single player FPS recommendations with controller support from the last decade. A good story is preferred.
Games Ive played:
- Warframe (dont ask. The lore is okay-ish. I stayed for friends).
- Titanfall 2. (PEAK)
- Apex Legends (Briefly. The sweatiness and timed lore turned me off).
- Doom 2016 (Dropped this, sadly. Gunplay and parkour was AWESOME, but the whole devil worship thing really turned me off).
- Dying Light 1. (Okay Story. Awesome fighting. Never played 2 because of the whole controversy with the
story director. EDIT: Story writer, not director) - The Metro Series. 1, 2 and Exodus. (Slightly weak lore. Still alot of fun).
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: regarding Dying Light:

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Currently gonna try:
- The Half Life Series.
- Halo
- Wolfenstein: New Order.
Halo
This should be the top answer for anyone asking for FPS recommendations.
Also there’s no need to justify playing Warframe. It’s fun as hell. Also, you do realize in DOOM that you’re killing the demons and devil worshippers, right? And what controversy with the director for DL2? I played both Dying Light games but the first one is way better anyway.
Specifically, the Halo Master Chief Collection is one of the best values in gaming at full price before any sales you might find, and it released on steam in 2015 so i’m counting it.
I mean you can’t beat
56 full games, plus all the multiplayer for each game, for the price of one.I keep forgetting Halo 4 is included in there.
I appreciate 343 including 4 a lot honestly. From the COD quicktime events and the stereotypical Marvel villain intro, to every other fight being a DMR shootout with the shield bots, it’s the Force Awakens of Halo: all the iconography, none of the substance. If it wasn’t included I would have wondered about 343 Halo and why it has a controversial rep. Being able to jump straight in after playing the rest of Halo blind was a great way to see it for myself lol.
I will say it’s probably one of the most beautiful Xbox 360 games
Oh yeah, graphics are great. If it had the level design quality and tone of the rest of the series I’d be a big fan
Yeah, wtf, asking for story yet missing the point in Doom which has the simplest story of them all: demons are bad and you need to kill them to save humanity.
I can’t really help with the topic since I don’t care for story in my shooty-shooty boom booms and prefer to get into action as soon as possible and keep at it, but I guess the Far Cry series has some story in it. Maybe skip the first one since controller support might be iffy. Also Crysis, don’t know about the latter ones but first one is great until a certain point after which it’s okay.
I should have been clearer. Simple story (aka Doom) is more than okay. (I specially loved its beginning. Fuck why Im shooting. I just want to shoot).
Its just the whole atmosphere of the cult that creeped me out wayyy too much. Then came the holo where you someone is being live sacrificed while the crazy head scientist looked on, and I just had to drop it then. Couldnt play anymore.
Tldr: The atmosphere of the cult was a bit too much for me to handle.
And the line for Metro about taking points off for weak lore rubs me the wrong way. Like I’m not necessarily a fan of the Metro series, but I understand why others are.
Like damn, I didn’t realize the recommendations had to be cinematic masterpieces too.
My bad. That point Was a bit too harsh.
