Top 6 best modern Shooters in 2023

Top 6 best modern Shooters in 2023

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

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

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

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.

Normal battle at Doom Eternal

This is an incredibly fast game that combines the elements of a shooter and slasher. At certain points, Doom Eternal locks the user in locations, throwing a dozen opponents at him. The emotions that a player experiences after experiencing such a massacre can only give this shooter.

Far cry 5

Far cry 5

The latest to date Far Cry license plate. Although it was released two years ago, it does not lose its relevance even now and can please a lover of typical “Ubisoft games”. It has all the familiar attributes of the series: climbing towers, capturing outposts, hunting rare bears and even fishing.

But what exactly Far Cry 5 catches on is its visual design. The action of the third part takes place on a tropical island, where each location was similar to another. The fourth faced the same problem, although it replaced the archipelago with snow-capped mountains. But in the fifth part of the player, provincial America awaits in its best embodiment – with pickups, rural alcoholics and barns.

As a shooter, Far Cry 5 is also good. It does not have such a cool shooting experience as in Modern Warfare, but everything pays off due to the flexibility of the gameplay (stealth or noisy) and a wide arsenal. Only in this game can you kill another sectarian with a throw of an ordinary shovel.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

If Doom is mentioned in the selection of shooters, then it will not do without her ideological brother – Wolfenstein. The New Colossus was released in 2017 and has been warmly received by players and critics due to a wide range of merits. Which ones?

First of all, the game has an interesting and well-developed plot. At one time, journalists compared the story of The New Colossus with the best works of Quentin Tarantino, and for good reason – in the script there are many ridiculous moments and a cinematic farce that evokes a smile and puts in the right way.

Then – rich gameplay. The shootings in The New Colossus are not inferior to those of Doom Eternal or any other shooter that can be cited as an example. The gameplay in Wolfenstein can be easily customized. For example, to reduce the difficulty level to a minimum and go ahead with two machine guns at the ready or increase it – then the game will turn into a merciless Dark Souls with guns, where they kill for a few shots.

These and many other advantages made The New Colossus one of the best representatives of the genre to date. It’s a shame that Bethesda decided not to continue in the same vein and released the frankly unsuccessful Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

Rainbow six siege

Rainbow six siege

The last game of the Rainbow Six series at the moment was left without a single part. Instead, the authors seriously worked on multiplayer and created one of the most popular game services to date.

Siege was successful by rethinking the basic principles of a tactical shooter. For example, instead of the usual character classes, there are many unique characters. Each has its own gadgets and guns, its own approach to the battle. One operative carries with him a large shield with a built-in flash drive, the second can scatter holograms around the room, the third drags a sledgehammer and breaks walls with it – the tactical space is huge.

The popularity of the shooter does not fade due to constant updates of content. The game is regularly replenished with new operatives, maps and temporary modes. Now Siege can be called a successful adaptation of the game series to current trends. Another thing is interesting – can Ubisoft repeat this success in the Rainbow Six Quarantine, the main emphasis of which will be on PvE?
