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.

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:

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Currently gonna try:

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

Control is pretty good. I'm stuck at a part though and refuse to look up the solution.

I've played the beginning of atomic heart and it seems fun as hell.

Both games have telekinetic abilities which apparently I like.

Half Life pretty much started the whole 'FPS games with a story told throughout the gameplay' which you seem to have a lot of games played like that.
