Plus these

> FarCry Blood Dragon (80's comedy shooter)
> Metro 2033
> F.E.A.R

yes I played halo which I enjoyed. I hear that they are bringing another halo game out in the future I think.

Now is a great time to be a Halo fan what with all the games in the Master Chief Collection slated to release on PC in short order.

How about Star Wars Battlefront 1 or 2? The original Pandemic games are my preference, but the new DICE games have their merits.

A recent sci-fi shooter worth your time would be Control. This game is something else and talking about it doesn't really do it justice. It's third-person with very strong metroidvania elements and a big mystery at the center of its plot. It's hella good and probably my game of the year 2019.

​

Prey (original and new, I prefer the original)
Mass Effect (I never liked it, but many other people do)
Bioshock
System Shock
TitanFall
Doom

@Dan already compiled an excellent list up there, and these particular ones get a strong recommendation from me.

If you don't mind something that's a bit of goofy fun and have some buddies to play with, Earth Defense Force 5 is great. It offers four different classes to play as, with each having numerous upgrades/loadouts you can customize. There's plenty of different kinds of giant bugs & aliens to take out, and the story has a decent length to it.

Dead Space [75% off],
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Borderlands Enhanced Edition
Descent
MDK

 

[Hveðrungr]

Half-Life is free right now.

 

[kill1978]

thank you

 

[Frindis]

Half-Life is free right now.

FYI: It is free with a twist as it is free for a limited time of 2 months.

 

[Gvaedyn]

I wouldn't say it's a "shooting game" per-se, but definitely another shout out for Prey!

 

[SWard]

Control

Control has received tons of praise from loads of different places

JC Denton himself didn't even list Deus Ex!? I guess it's more of an immersive sim than a shooter in the standard sense, but I think the shooter aspects of the Deus Ex series deserve a shout.

@fletch254 True, but Dan had already mentioned DX.

Destiny 2 is free on Steam if you like Borderlands and Halo

I'm trying to remember if I ever shot anyone in the original Deus Ex. Unless you count tranq darts.

You mean you didn't even shoot anyone with that NES-cartridge-looking stealth pistol that was available? 😁

Stick with the prod. It will stun your opponents or knock them unconscious. A non-lethal takedown is always the most silent way to eliminate resistance.

 

[I Will Haunt You]

I can understand not recommending Anthem, but no one recommends Destiny 2? It's base game is even free.

I've never played either Destiny game, so am not able to recommend it.

 

[Hveðrungr]

I tried Destiny 2 as it was free on Steam. Maybe the most confusing experience of my life. Even now I still have literally no idea what was going on or what I was supposed to do.
