A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Request for FPS recommendations. (lemm.ee)

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:

  1. Warframe (dont ask. The lore is okay-ish. I stayed for friends).
  2. Titanfall 2. (PEAK)
  3. Apex Legends (Briefly. The sweatiness and timed lore turned me off).
  4. Doom 2016 (Dropped this, sadly. Gunplay and parkour was AWESOME, but the whole devil worship thing really turned me off. Edit: The devil Worshippers themselves turned me off. You do not worship devils ingame. More details in comments).
  5. Dying Light 1. (Okay Story. Awesome fighting. Never played 2 because of the whole controversy with the ~~story director~~. EDIT: Story writer, not director)
  6. 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:

  • The Half Life Series.
  • Halo
  • Wolfenstein: New Order.

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.
