Shooters – one of the oldest genres, while not losing relevance. There are hundreds and thousands of different games in this category, but not every one of them can boast of interesting finds or an exciting story, and only a few can really be called the best among them. It is about them that we will tell.
This collection will only include modern games released on the current generation of consoles. In no case do we underestimate the merits of Half-Life 2 or Quake III to the industry and the genre, it’s just that their time is long gone – you need to look at the present. It’s good to see what.
Titanfall 2
When talking about Half-Life 2, it’s hard not to remember Titanfall 2, a shooter with the best storyline campaign since the adventures of Gordon Freeman. Respawn Entertainment designers filled the single player mode with incredible quality missions and scenes, added humor and epic exactly where it was needed. During the passage of Titanfall, the very feeling of flow is created when all the mechanics, movement and shooting merge and immerse you in a kind of hypnotic trance.
Level honors deserve special honors. There is a mission in Titanfall at a huge factory, on the conveyors of which large pieces of walls and roofs of houses move. The player must jump on them and move deep into the complex, each time risking falling into the abyss. Or there is a level that is located in two time lines – the player can switch between past and present with the help of special hours. Click – and the fire barrier before the eyes disappeared, because in the past the passage was not destroyed.
Together with the bombing plot in Titanfall 2 there is a dynamic multiplayer in which the player can fight with conventional weapons or summon a huge Titan from the sky. You can climb into the robot to destroy all enemies around with powerful weapons or crush it with your feet. This is an indescribable feeling that no other shooter will give.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Rethinking Call of Duty: Modern Warfare managed to make a fuss even before the release. All because of scandalous missions in which not only Russian soldiers are killed, but also civilians from neighboring countries. We will not dwell on this in detail and move on to the main thing – the gameplay.
To date, only Modern Warfare gives a pure thrill shooting – a key process for all shooters. Pushing the trigger in the MW is pleasant with any weapon in any situation. Animations, sounds and other effects – everything is done at the highest level, which so far no one has been able to surpass.
The story campaign itself is not as interesting as it might initially have seemed because of the hype in society. She fulfills her task and gives seven hours full of events and shootings, but after that you need to go to multiplayer – there you will find a real expanse! For example, a huge number of modes and types of weapons, as well as flexible pumping with the ability to turn a revolver into a shotgun. Well, do not forget about Warzone, which today is considered one of the most popular “royal battles” on the market, and not just like that.
Doom eternal
Almost all modern shooters in one way or another strive for realism: reloading weapons, hide and seek in shelters, tactical cooperatives, and more. But not Doom Eternal. It returns us to the roots of the genre, at a time when the player was simply given a powerful gun and sent forward with one goal – to wet everything that shows signs of life.
The main character in Doom Eternal carries with him almost ten types of weapons, a shoulder gun and a sharp retractable sword. Health in the game is restored only after the bloody pursuit of the next demon, and life is in the movement – it is worth stopping at least for a second, and you can go to checkpoint.
