Chet have you tried this game called Half-Life 2? It sounds right up your alley
Sounds like a loser game... I mean come on - trilogies or die!
System shock remake, incursion red River, contagion, ground branch, ready or not
Someone else suggested cruelty squad but I'll add to that. Game has a kind of so bad it's good artstyle, but the gameplay is super open ended and stylistically it's super weird if you're into that.
Dishonored 1/2 fit some parts of the request, most of the gameplay consists of making a plan and executing on it. You can also go gunz blazing if you want though. Most Arcane Studio games are like this (Prey too). No idea if you played any of them :p
Some standout picks for me for Single Player FPSs:
- Deathloop is fun and little more contained with story that serves the gameplay well. Fun shooting and traversal. It's Arkane so it has a little of that Immersive Sim vibe without it really being dominated by story or the usual tough puzzles. Very open to trial and error, and since it's a Time Loop story, lots of replayability.
- Any of the newer Wolfenstein Games, the first one and Old Blood tries to retain a little of that Boomer Shooter Energy but personally I think Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus really brings it to it's own level.
- If you're okay with more RPG involved I really enjoyed the gunplay in Cyberpunk 2077, but it's definitely a big RPG so I could see that not being the vibe.
Best of luck in your search!
I have several box rooms with the same texture on every surface and no lighting and like three enemies that are all facing east when you first see them if you want.
The stuff I'm playing is probably either too old or too weird to quality as an FPS-FPS. The 24 year old Deus Ex, classic Doom...
The Pony Factory's a short linear horror affair ala Doom 3, I really enjoyed Squirrel Stapler but it's stealth rather than action... Supraland is pretty fun. Dropped it a while ago, but it's maybe only 30% proper shooting, the rest is your very open 3D exploration puzzley kind of affair, but it's very charming. Great demo.
Vampire The Masquerade is pretty good. They really used the source engine well for its time, and its not just pure fps mayhem. Its got lots of RPG elements. For some reason it really left strong memories for me.
Metro Exodus does it for me. It has a few reactionary mechanics like COD style press F to win boss fight, but overall is a hugely engrossing experience. Absolutely oozes atmosphere.
I've always found the meta of turning a corner in CS (or other fps multiplayer games) to be something a puzzle fps could pull off. Do you peak standing? Crouching? Do you wide strafe? Jump strafe? Near wall? Far wall? These are things AI enemy types could have strengths/weaknesses to. All it needs is a decently cohesive world for players to grow an intuition. Mix in all the other variables of those games and I think I'd have something good.
I'm still learning blender but as soon as I have a vertical slice, I'll be more vocal!
Few years ago, I actually started working on a pixelated doom like FPS game that is single player, story, puzzles, some action, but I had to stop working on it, because I figured out that I have 0 clue on what game design actually means, I can make the shooty shoot but not fun kind of it.
Also I think that is the issue with some of the big companies, there are some really talented people working there but good game design is complicated&expensive to implement.
Incision and Prodeus, quite fun
Trepang2 (not a sequel) is fast paced single player fps set in the near future and is pretty rewarding despite being short. Story is pretty mid though.
Oh, you want an FPS like that? Maybe Stray Bombay will have an indie to sponsor soon..... hehehehehe
Deathloop was good, you can ignore story quite well in there. Though I'm looking for something öike Wildlands too. Haven't found exactly something like that yet.
Ooo good request - something a bit mellowed out.
I got a couple big names and a couple small names - with one I've been eyeing too.
The big names:
Prey (2017) is a spiritual successor to System Shock 2. You can play it stealth or go guns blazing. Gameplay is top top notch. But the story is one of the most poignant and moving themes in any game I've ever played. It's all in the ending. Play this one til close.
Deus Ex (Mankind Divided) - read you played these, so omitted my description!
Here's some smaller titles -
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth - this is an OLD horror game with FPS combat. If you're looking for good FPS action, may not be the perfect one cuz it's rough around the edges but the atmosphere and feel is absolutely top notch. Hard as nails tho. If you like small dark gloomy towns with a mystery, this one's for you.
Singularity - another old one, time bending FPS game that might not be as stealth as you're looking for but man is it a fun and cool FPS with time shifting mechanics that are very intriguing to play around with. Last game developed solely by Raven Software too before COD swallowed them up :/
Here's one that might be exactly what you're looking for but it's been one I've been eyeing and haven't tried myself. Gloomwood. This game is heavily inspired by the old Thief and Looking Glass games. Another dark gloomy town with a mystery. It's a stealth based, inventory management horror FPS that seems to be very slow and methodical. Not sure about story but definitely gives off the "think of your every move" feel very heavily. This could be what you're looking for. Now that I'm looking at this again (on my wishlist), think I'll finally dive in.
Btw, glad you tried Selaco! It's definitely a run & gun and not as methodical as it sounds like you're looking for. But it's a damn good game, so stoked you picked it up!!
Doom .wads and Thief fan missions.
Was going to suggest ADACA until you mentioned it 😅. You may have already played it Titanfall 2 is great. Cultic has some very fun crunchy headshot blasting with a slightly calmer pace than reactive FPS.
ADACA is great!
Two games that come to mind would be TimeSplitters 2 and TimeSplitters Future Perfect. Future Perfect places a heavier emphasis on story, so you might enjoy 2 more. Both were made by a lot of the same people that worked on Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, which is especially apparent in 2 (for better or for worse sometimes). These are from the Gamecube/PS2/Xbox era, but these days I prefer to play them through the Dolphin emulator with a keyboard and mouse injector, as the original control schemes for TimeSplitters 2 feel very outdated, even by 2002 standards.
Have you played through the original Halo series? 2 through 4, and also Reach, are super fun campaigns. The Master Chief Collection on Steam includes all of them and the ports are really solid. Plus the remastering done for Halo 2 is super well done.
EDIT: Oh also maybe Trepang 2? It's sort of a blend of reactionary and strategic from what I played. (Only played the demo) So it might still be a bit too fast-paced, but I guess the demo is worth a shot at least.
Ever played SUPERHOT? FPS where time only moves when you do and you die in one shot. Requires more strategy and planning than reflexes and raw aiming skills. Also has a pretty cool minimalist art style that’s not “chunky” and can be finished in one sitting.
The other game that comes to mind is the System Shock remake but that one is a real time commitment.
Yeah played it regular and in vr.
@@chetfaliszek Alright, well I’ll give another recommendation that I think nobody else will: Echo Point Nova. It’s not out yet but there’s a demo.
@@smashtheatre769 Downloading the demo now...
Nice, hope you enjoy it!
I hope you like my game!
Oh man! And yeah, playing the demo tonight - people here seem to really dig it, congrats!
Played through the demo and buying it now - might stream it later this week or next - nice work!
The PS1 Medal of Honor series, if it still holds up. Side bar: how do you push a game away from reactionary events and towards prepping and planning? I'm having so much trouble making my Twisted Metal spiritual successor not just be all reactionary and it is *difficult* to pull off. Any advice?
You could try giving players more information so they can plan further ahead
@@Romanticcomedycarcrash I might be failing to give enough meaningful outcomes to even justify that info 🤔no payoff; no layup
For some games have you tried FEAR or Trepang2?
Been playing those games recently & they've been a great bit of fun. + their NPC AI is awesome.
Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is actually pretty good for what it is. Pretty classic ubisoft open world but the IP is fresh enough that it makes the game really fun to just explore and learn.
Maybe try one of the more recent Halo games? They're a little slower, are a little sandboxy and very much singleplayer.
Also we'll be updating SENTRY soon 😅
Oh! let me know when you have it updated! The halo games always leave me a little flat.
I know you said Singleplayer, but Hunt: Showdown is one of the best FPS games i've played in a while.
Does not just rely on AIM and gives the player's lots of agency when it comes to loadouts and level design.
An example, despite being an FPS game, melee has its place and is sometimes even preferable.
It has the PVE elements as well and you can even use the enemies in the map to your own advantage sometimes (luring enemies into a compound as a distraction).
Please get ADACA, I got it and played almost 30 hours in two days. It's so worth it.
About to start the demo right now!
I know you've played it, because OMM introduced it to me like 20 years ago, but there's never a bad time to replay the NOLF games, and if you haven't played them in a decade or two, maybe they'll FEEL fresh? Sorry, no help.
I played it a few years ago - still holds up!
Deus ex series seem like something you'd like or Metro series along with Cybeprunk 2077?
There's Titanfall 2 which is fun and you do loads of different things, but it's quite reactionary.
Well they are all old, i don't think anything newer has came out recently like at all. Good FPS games are desert.
I have no idea!
Maybe try Shadows of Doubt. It isn't an FPS; you don't shoot or kill people, and it's (generally) a physically small world with procgen murder cases. But it feels like a compelling world with enough systems to make you feel creative, at least until you're VERY used to those systems. At least watch a trailer. It's a first person world I would dive into for a few hours a month until I felt I really grokked it. You do detective work to find serial killers. (One killer at a time. And if there's a stretch without kills, just wait, no one's found/reported the body. Eventually they'll kill again.) They recently added a new killer type, so I'm bound to dive back in once my Dwarf Fortress affinity subsides again.
If you find something, I hope you mention it. I've mentioned before putting a ton of time in PUBG, Warzone, and DMZ. I watched some of the MW2 SP campaign and it seemed to have great moments, with everything between A and B being a strongly linear "not for me". But somehow it feels like there's an exact shape of a systems-heavy first person game missing in my heart, like it was taken away, despite it never existing. Somewhere between Elder Scrolls and Hitman and GTA. Yet here I am, just rambling.
Also, I'd call that game Roboquest "a blocky toon shaded" art style. But I don't even know. It feels like either like everyone decided to roll their eyes and say "too pretentious!" at the same time to some types of discourse about 10-15 years ago, or I just lost the thread somewhere.
I wanted so bad to like this and just got so lost.. gotta give it another try when I have more time!
@@chetfaliszek If you didn't try the training mission, definitely try the training mission. It's a very rare time when I'll say playing without this direct instruction will definitely hurt you in the long run. Regardless, good luck!
metal gear solid 5? its not first person but its really fun and you use alot of strategy
I almost included my response to this game just in case... I have beef... I am stupid...
Stalker!!!
Love stalker
Deus Ex series definitely comes to mind. They're usually like a dollar when the sales come around.
If you're not picky about the camera position but just want some single player shooty splodey mayhem, the Just Cause series is perfect for that.
Funny I say splodey right as a new game called "Splodey" hits New & Trending on Steam. Entirely coincidental.
All played. All from decades ago!
@@chetfaliszek Just making sure!
Now that you mention it, I can't remember when was the last time I played a decent, newly released AAA fps sp campaign. as for recommendations, have you tried Stalker Anomaly?, I haven't really tried it, but from what I hear it's pretty much a mashup of the maps from the three Stalker games plus some survival mechanics
I have not... isn't there a new stalker game coming?
@@chetfaliszek Yep, stalker 2 is targeting September this year I believe, considering what GSC has been through I wouldn't be disappointed if they delay it though.
Ive heard some buzz around halflife-likes Phantom Fury and Abiotic Factor.
Played Abiotic, really feels like you need to do it with more people...
Maybe F.E.A.R.? Or if you want a newer one selaco looks like it’s aiming for a similar experience to F.E.A.R.
Played fear 73 years ago- mentioned selaco.
@@chetfaliszek oh I thought it was a different game that sounded the same
Are you looking for Combat Puzzles? The thing is, most people wouldn't find them all that fun because a fun combat puzzle by the design requires player experience and experimentation. Otherwise the solution becomes "save a few rockets and be frugal" that most experienced players already do. If you are still interested check out mapping communities of old established games.
Stalker
PLEASE play stalker Chet, start with the 1st, shadow of Chernobyl
I've played the old ones - new one isn't out yet.
@@chetfaliszek new one is looking good so far 🔥
I assume you've tried cruelty squad?
Cruelty Squad is AMAZING once you get used to the nightmareish qualities.
I keep forgetting this one!
@@chetfaliszek It's a great arcade style immersive sim. With a violent aesthetic. I love how the aesthetic and game design all feels cohesive around the narrative and ideology of the creator.
Have you looked at Gloomwood? It feels so much like how I remember Thief being when I played it way back in the day.
How about RAGE 2?
Seconded, if you’re looking for something like Wildlands or the Far Cry games with far superior and more fun combat mechanics.
Abiotic Factor?
Titanfall 2 was the last decent SP fps in my opinion.
It was good nah great but some others have come out as well.
