What are people’s favourite first person single player campaigns, no third person games??
IMHO Titanfall 2 has one of the best campaigns for a SP FPS.
I completely agree. Titanfall 2 is one of my favorite single player FPS games.
I have it, I started it for maybe an hour, I have no idea how the rest of it is.
There’s nothing stopping me from downloading it again and continuing the campaign.
One of my favorite game series is the Crysis series. I absolutely love the story, the music, and the visuals. It scores super high on the sci-fi list for me. Crysis 3 is my favorite one of the bunch. I’m still eagerly waiting for any further news on Crysis 4.

Comments you can hear
Titanfall 2’s single player campaign is fantastic.
The newer Wolfenstein games (new order and new colossus) are both great. Totally crazy alternate history plus you get to shoot nazis. I really hope they end up making a third one.
Bioshock
Dishonored, all parts. It’s just a great story, well written characters and absolutely fun to play. One of the very few games I never felt bored, annoyed or frustrated of.
Is the bulk of the gameplay done with a sword?
No you got some more tools and weapons, including a crossbow and a pistol.
- Dusk
- Amid Evil
- Prodeus
- Half Life 1
There’s more but these were the first that came to mind.
Prodeus is such a trip, I think the first playthrough of that map where you navigate down with a boss behind glass and into the arena full of blue imps was absolute boomer shooter nirvana
And everything feels so beefy. Just thinking about that SSG makes me want to start another playthrough.
My only critique is that they shouldn’t have added reloading. The rest of the game is just so fast paced that it feels weird to stop and reload.
Prey is pretty great, really enjoyed that.
I played through Prey again recently and it holds up incredibly well. It’s like a more polished Dishonored imo. Your story choices had more impact, the abilities feel smoother, and lots of really funny moments and character interactions.
Great shooter campaign!
Easy to forget as it’s difficult to get it in… prime condition for PC, but Metroid: Prime is my favorite.
Starts off like any game should - cool dramatic overview of your character and then immediate control. Shooting got better on the wii and enhanced to perfection with PC mods!
In a weird way, it’s like a more chill Doom.
… Morph ball doesn’t count as third-person, does it? :)
I am hugely into the 2D Metroid games and bought the new Metroid Prime remake on switch and I just could not get into it.
I played it for about half an hour and then died, and there were no save points along the way anywhere, so I’m forced to restart a game I didn’t enjoy from scratch knowing I need to last even longer than that in my next playthrough before I can just save the game.
I really want to like it but my god this game is asking a lot
That’s a shame. What do you think you’re struggling with in Prime? Do you play a lot of FPS games?
I recognize that losing 30 minutes of progress is frustrating, but generally when the game is exciting it drags you back in regardless so I’m curious what was missing from your perspective to give it that spark especially as a Metroid fan.
I do play FPS games, but not on controller. Beyond that I can’t really say - there was nothing that grabbed me in 30 minutes of playtime, and every other metroid game had at least something interesting at the beginning with some intrigue. With Prime, it seemed like the Interesting Thing were the mechanics themselves, which, on their own, didn’t do it for me.
Interesting!
It gets a lot better once you’re on the planet. Great atmosphere while exploring alien ruins, expected metroid-style exploration. Multiple save-points lol!
The space station doesn’t do the mechanics justice, but I’m also going to add I don’t imagine they’ll ever blow you away especially if you’ve been exposed to a lot of FPS games. But I do think you’d have a good time down there. It spawned a trilogy for a reason!
Also if you hadn’t and do go back, try using the pointer controls. The ability to actually aim with your joycon adds convenience and immersion. :) and maybe one of the other options would click with you.
Halo 3 ODST. Uses Halo 3’s engine, so it has the same incredible physics as it, with great vibes to it as well.
OuterWilds. It’s a masterpiece.
Because it’s progression system/locks is about what you know (you, the flesh and blood person playing it) it’s really hard to explain why it’s so good without spoiling some aspect of the game
Outer Wilds is indeed a masterpiece. It’s not really what I would call a “shooter”, though, so it might not be what OP’s after, it’s more like Myst and so on. But it is absolutely excellent.
Wow. I completely missed the title….
I think my favourite fps campaign is Modern Warfare 2 (2009). I also liked the campaign in the other Call of Duty games (at least the games that came before Ghost, Ghost was the last game played)
Halflife was revolutionary when it was released. I’ve recently been playing through Black Mesa, which is a remake in the Source engine, with some parts changed or extended, and it;s absolutely excellent
Before that, Doom and Doom][ were the best FPSs. The 2016 remake does somehow manage to recapture some of the magic but the originals will always hold a special place in my heard
I tried one of the Half Life games for about an hour, and the sci-fi aspect killed my interest with different creatures. I didn’t care about what happened in the story.
I played a good amount of Doom reboot but I never finished it. It’s a decent game. I can’t get into being on Mars fighting random creatures, but that’s only my thing, I don’t have any criticisms. I heard the second one is excellent but I have not bothered with it.
If you dislike sci fi then yeah, sci fi games are not gonna do it for you!
It’s hard to beat the classic Half Life 2.
While it’s outshined by a lot of more modern FPS games, it’s still one of the most beautiful and fleshed out videogames in history.
