The Bungie era of Halo (Combat Evolved through Reach). You can never go wrong with those games, and the soundtrack alone will get you pumped to play through humanity’s last stand.

GZdoom, Brutal Doom, FreeDoom (all packaged for the basis of a single game) then… something to pick there and play: www.doomworld.com/10years/bestwads/

Does BioShock count?

uzi OP ,

Someone else mentioned it. I have never played Bioshock, I think I’ve seen it used as a benchmark. I look for military style games and I wasn’t sure if I should give Bioshock a try.

Bioshock is a fantastic game imo if you’re willing to branch out from military games. The story is wonderful, the setting is phenomenal and the shooting mechanics are very solid and fun. You can probably find the remaster for cheap, it’s often on sale.

Can’t decide.

“Wolfenstein: The New Order” for the setting and production value.

“Prey” (2017) for the fantastic gameplay and atmosphere.

“Turbo Overkill” for the movement and variety.

uzi OP ,

Thank you providing reasons for why it’s your favourite game.

I bought the New Order/Old Blood combo on GOG.

Prey looks really nice. Don’t you primarily play through the game with a sword, having a lot of required stealth kills?

Is Turbo Overkill an arena game in a single environment, as opposed to progressing through multiple levels, say, in like a military campaign?

You should really give the Wolfenstein games a try if you already own them. After about an hour or two you will know if the game is for you. Start with New Order.

There is no melee weapon in Prey, except the wrench you start with. It is a Sci-Fi game, set on a space station. The focus is on finding your own solutions to problems by using different skills you unlock. Strength, hacking, stealth and so on. It is an immersive sim, but you can play it like a shooter too. It demands some attention though, or you will not know what to do next.

Turbo Overkill has multiple levels you complete one after another. It is a classic FPS game with a campaign. The big fights happen in large arenas though. The game is very fast and you have to use a lot of different movement abilities to survive on harder difficulties.

DOOM Eternal or maybe the original Crysis

dankm ,

I’ve been meaning to try the original Crysis now that I have a computer that can play it. I started it, but then life happened.

DOOM Eternal didn’t do it for me. It’s Doom-ish, but not enough. It’d be a better game if it wasn’t set in the Doom universe trying to add a bunch of non-Doom elements to the game. Doom (2016) did that too, but not to the same extent. I like the older Dooms mostly for their simplicity: get gun, see bad guy, shoot gun. Pick up health. Repeat. Doom Eternal did that, but added a story, weapon mods, and skills. Fine mechanics, but not Doom enough for me.

DOOM Eternal was like a … crazy adrenaline pumping high for me that I normally don’t get out of single player games, so that’s why it’s arguably my favorite.

I never really played the original DOOM games (they’re almost too simple for me … I didn’t grow up with them but I did get into PC shooters with Xonotic – a fast paced Quake derivative, so DOOM Eternal kinda makes sense for me).

Half-Life 😁

uzi OP ,

I see people rave about it. I tried Half Life 2 for an hour and quit because I lost all interest since there wasn’t much happening.

meldrik ,

You should start with Half- Life. It’s a classic FPS.

uzi OP ,

I don’t like random creatures or space aliens, fantasy, Martians, I don’t like those games. I prefer real world military style. What makes Half Life so good?

meldrik ,

Then you shouldn’t play Half-Life 😅

Titanfall 2. That’s an annual tradition for me.

uzi OP ,

I have it, I have not played it through, only played half an hour to an hour, but I will trust you and play it through soon to give it a proper try.

@Thavron@lemmy.ca avatar

Rest assured that you were nearly done.

I’m kidding, but it do believe it’s only 6 hours or something. Still amazing.

Maven ,

I second Titanfall 2. The campaign is the closest thing to a perfect game I’ve ever played.

Redneck Rampage

uzi OP ,

From '97? It reminds me of Doom.
