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:

  • Wolfenstein: New Order.

    Tangent: maybe we should classify FPS by more vectors, such as progression of gunplay (Doom 2016 is a masterpiece there, Titanfall 2 a failure), strength of story (most military-themed FPS are cringe-fests in terms of story), Lore/Tech (Bioshock’s Steampunk theme always turned me off, for example), suspense (Prey excels there, COD bores) … and many more.

    This way, we might actually find decent FPS that each of us enjoy based on our tastes. <3

      Prey is not an FPS, it’s an immersive sim. Yes there is shooting in Prey, but not nearly to the level an actual FPS has it.

      Prey (2017) was so fucking good and cool and innovative that I can’t even be mad that it completely overshadows Prey (2006) which was also a really cool and innovative game from my memory of the time, although i haven’t replayed it recently to see if it holds up.
