Blog:Games that prove that shooters can still be great (Dready)

Are you sick and tired of Generic shooters? don’t know what to find? Don’t fucking panic! Because i will show you some shooters that can prove that shooters can be great, better yet show you how you can also mix them well with other genres to be unique. We all know the new Doom and (almost) new Wolfenstein games we’re great, but i will show you others as well that show you they can still be great so let’s go.

Important Rule
Doom (2016) or Wolfenstein The New Order won't count because while those games are great and unique from other shooters, they're both from franchises that started long before the saturation of the FPS genre and can't count.

Team Fortress 2
Well this is one of my favourite games ever made.

TF2 is more than an online shooter, the game is a hero shooter, because each class has they’re own unique weapon set, ability, personality and play styles. Each game mode feels unique and it’s the reasons why it can show you why online shooter can be great. Best of all the game is free to play, that means you can download it whenever you want, also it is one of a few games that has microtransaction that isn’t pay to win.

Far Cry
Do you know the definition of insanity?

Do you like GTA? Do you like First Person shooters? Do you like Skyrim? (Because Far Cry 3 was called Skyrim with guns) than Far Cry is definetly a reccomendation, seriously the open world is one of the reasons why i like Far Cry, so when i don’t wanna do missions i can just walk around and do whatever i want, also Far Cry 2 is easily one of the most realistic games i ever played, and Far Cry 3 has easily the best villain in video game history Vaas because he knows the definition of Insanity, what also makes it great is that every instalment tries to improve from each other and feels solid (Well Except for Far Cry 4 while still good it’s the same as Far Cry 3 with a few improvements here and there), and each game has they’re own unique open world to explore.

Crysis
Can you’re computer run Crysis?

Well Crysis was so demanding when it come out that barely any computer could run it, but despite this the games are great, Crysis is one of a few of the shooters that have a completely unique feel to them, the games unique feature is the nano suit, that changes the ability you want to use, like Maximum strenght, maximum speed, stealth mode etc. The graphics in all 3 games look great so i call it’s remasters unnecessary. Also i would reccomend you to try Crysis 1 on PC to see if it can run it. It’s one of a few Futuristic shooters that i like.

F.E.A.R.
It’s time to get scary.

F.E.A.R. is one of a few times where horror and first person shooters are done right (Except for F.3.A.R.) The games feel scary and atmospheric, not to mention the games are one of a few times where i can say horror and FPS action can mix well. F.E.A.R. 1 is without a doubt the scariest game i’ve ever played as for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, despite it’s a few hiccups it’s still gets pretty scary. Better yet if you like John Wu movies than you will like F.E.A.R.

Call of Juarez
What the hell? IS this is a Call of Duty Rip-off... Well... No it isn’t

Despite the title Call of Juarez is nothing like Call of Duty, The games are western shooters set in the wild west, so if you like Cowboys or Red Dead, than you will also like this, What i really like about the series it’s is western theme, because i feel like it was rarely done in shooters, not to mention each instalment feels unique in it’s own right (Except for Cartel), if i have to reccomend which one i reccomend you Bound in Blood and The Gunslinger because they’re the best ones in the franchise, I also reccomend the first one but not the Cartel, not to mention that one is barely about cowboys.

Borderlands
These games are without a doubt very funny.

It’s also open world, not to mention the graphics in all the games stil hold up well thanks to being cel-shaded, also The Borderlands games have a clever mix with RPG elements to them, The games are also very funny thanks to they’re great and clever writing and good sense of humor, the only issue i have it’s the slight SJW pandering in Borderlands 2 Thanks to being written by the Infamous Anthony Burch, But despite this you can ignore it, and you can appreciate on how great the games are.

Conclusion
Basically these are the shooters i suggest you to play if you’re looking for a one and is sick and tired of generic millitary shooters, i might miss some ones like Half Life, Bioshock etc. But i can agree those are also great, and i think i can reccomend these shooters to a different type of audience.

If you like Online games, than you’ll like TF2.

If you like Open World games than you’ll like Far Cry.

If you like Futuristic games than you’ll like Crysis.

If you like Horror games than you’ll like F.E.A.R.

If you like Western games than you’ll like Call of Juarez.

If you like RPG’s than you’ll like Borderlands.

But there are still some games that stray away, from the genreci trend, also which shooter would you reccomend to me? let me know in the comments.
