while a lot of people like to play first person shooters for the multiplayer and the competition
others they're in it for the solo experience what is up everybody chaos here today we're going to be
looking at some of the best first person shooter campaigns of all time now for this list we'll be
talking about FPS games that offer a single player campaign or a story mode regardless of whether or
not they have multiplayer available and hopefully you'll discover a new game with this list and
maybe it will be the thing that pushes you to try something that you've been putting off so
you let me know how you would rank these in the comments drop a like make sure you hit that sub
button and turn on those notifications and let's start off with Star Wars Republic Commando I call
this criminally underrated it is it's been getting a lot of retroactive praise in the recent Years A
lot of it comes from us which I'm not going to complain about this Clone Wars era shooter took
influence from games like Rainbow Six and Halo and they perfectly balance the running and gunning it
was it was slower it was more methodical there were moments that it was just like being in
Elite Trooper now every member of your squad had a distinct role it's up to you to tell them
what to do and how to do it while also keeping yourself in one piece against an onslaught of
enemies Republic Commando is easily the best Star Wars FPS ever made but it was a financial flop it
was released in 2005. it was an exclusive to the Xbox and the PC but it also made the mistake of
launching shortly after Halo 2 which was also exclusive to those platforms which caused a lot
of people to ride it off as a copycat since then the fans have made their voices heard
and lucasfilm has actually ported it to Modern Hardware heck there are even rumors that respawn
entertainment's upcoming Star Wars FPS will be a spiritual successor to Republic Commando which
would make things just perfect in the world the game is great even if you're not a Star Wars fan
I recommend giving it a try it absolutely Nails the balance between crazy shootouts and tactical
planning before we move on guys speaking of being a Star Wars fan or pop culture or Comics do me a
favor go check out chaos Comics the link is at the the top of the description if you enjoy Comics pop
culture anything to do with Marvel or anything like that definitely go follow the channel there
are big things coming not only from that channel but possibly some real life chaos comic stuff too
and I would love for you guys to be there on the journey as I document it we'll talk more
about it in the future next up Ultra kill such an awesome name Indy FPS it made waves when it
appeared on Steam a couple years ago and it's only gotten better with updates now it might be
a little unfair to put it in Early Access game on this list but it's good it's really good I
don't think you can blame me Ultra kill is a super fast paced Ultra violent shooter where
you play as a robot running through various layers of Hell while upgrading your weaponry
and unlocking new abilities now I know you're thinking Doom right well it was heavily inspired
by games like Quake but the verticality and the advanced movement options they do remind me of
do maternal and Titanfall 2. it also features a combo system that gives you a grade based on
your performance similar to character action games like Devil May Cry it all comes together to create
this amazing dance of violence and Gore that is as ridiculous as it is cathartic and there are a ton
of challenges along the way Ultra kill is still getting regular updates and new content pick it up
on Steam right now run through it it deserves way more recognition because it's really an awesome
game let's go all the way back to 2007 Bioshock this spiritual success or the System Shock which
a lot of you probably never played but if you did you see the influence Bioshock quickly made a name
for itself had an amazing story a very unique setting and you played as a dude who crashlands
and accidentally finds an abandoned underwater Utopia how do you accidentally find that but once
you start exploring you discover that it's not as abandoned as you thought and it's going to be
pretty difficult to escape in one piece now it's less action oriented than other games on this list
but that's part of wake what makes it so special it relies on you to pay attention to the world
you're in and to figure things out yourself while also piecing the story together and coming up
with an escape plan now the enemies they're very intimidating in the weapons they can be a little
dinky but it all adds to the overall progression of the player's character and it makes the beefy
weapons all that more satisfying to use bioshock's gameplay is excellent the story is probably one of
the best in gaming now there's rumors of a total remaking works and I have mixed feelings about
it I would love to see the game get recreated with modern tech but the gameplay wasn't really perfect
and I just hope whoever's in charge of the project if it's real understands what made the original
actually work now let's move over to the New Order that's right Wolfenstein talk about a game
that came out of nowhere despite being a franchise that arguably invented first-person shooters as we
know them it was in a rough spot back in the early 2010s the franchise it had fallen off during the
2000s and the series reboot it was a flop in every sense of the world however Bethesda had hope and
they hired a studio known as machine games to create a new version of the story and universe
and what they came up with it was amazing the New Order tells a very serious a very emotional story
about an alternate world history where Germany won the second world war basically Enslaved the entire
planet ruling it with an Iron Fist and a ton of heavily armed robots but after waking up from a
coma an American Soldier rallies a group of rebels they start a campaign to take the planet back one
country at a time the gameplay is this blend of old school level design and treasure hunting with
modern shooting mechanics and weapon upgrades while the story it's well written it is and it's
beautifully presented the rebooted franchise may have fallen off in recent years but the New Order
is an incredible game and for me personally it's one of my favorite alt history Shooters of all
time now I know we can't have this list without at least one right Call of Duty uh Modern Warfare
remastered you expected a Cod game on the list but you probably weren't expecting this one now MWR
garnered a lot of controversy when it released back in 2006 16 it's a shame because the game
itself was really good it's a near perfect remaster of cod 4 which many consider to be
the most important game of the franchise played as American soldier in a British Special Forces agent
tried to hunt down an extremist group threatening to start a new world war on behalf of the Russians
you guys know how it goes the levels are extremely varied and the story was presented in a very good
way now despite originally coming out in 2007 the gameplay of cod 4 aged extremely well and it's
still one of the best single player experiences in the entire series Modern Warfare remastered got
a lot of flack when it was released or released due to the fact that it was bundled with IW which
nobody wanted and priced at a minimum of eighty dollars which nobody wanted but you can buy it
by itself now and it's cheap the multiplayer may be dead but the single player it's worth
the money now let's talk about a game that we haven't gotten the next game in a while Metroid
specifically Metroid Prime that was released for the GameCube all the way back in 2002 now Prime
was a huge transition for the franchise it moved things from the 2D metroidvania to 3D first person
shooting with a lot of exploration this game perfectly translated things from one gameplay
style to another and some of the features honestly they hold up today some of the visuals I mean if
you look at this game you would not have guessed it came out in 2002 20 years ago the shooting it's
intuitive the controls are unique but the main thing that sells Metroid Prime is the world it's
the world you live in the aliens are interesting there's a heavy emphasis on getting creative so
you can do all the little secrets that help you along your journey many call this one of the
greatest games ever made I really can't argue with it it's a mystery to me why Metroid Prime never
hit the same Heights as other Nintendo exclusive like Majora's Mask or Super Smash Bros but it's a
great game definitely should be played before Metroid Prime forever comes out in 2035. next
up is a sad sad game Titanfall 2 I just got done playing it again after the the first Titanfall
game had an extremely underwhelming campaign I don't think anybody was expecting the sequel to be
this good now granted respawn is made up of former Infinity Ward employees so I guess that shouldn't
have been too much of a shock but Titanfall 2's campaign is way better than it has any right to
be you play as a pilot an elite soldier you're fighting a future conflict you learn to bond
with your new Titan companion I mean it's a story about love not throughout the game you'll not only
learn more about the universe you're fighting for but also about the people within it and the
little Titan that always has your back plus the gameplay was good featured free-flowing combat
tons of advanced movement I mean sliding double jumping wall running you can run through entire
levels without touching the ground or you could take it slow and kill every single Last Enemy
you see without ever taking a hit of damage that's not even talking about the Titan fights which were
epic Titanfall 2 the campaign's on the shorter side can be finished in three to four hours if
you're half decent at first-person shooters but the experience it was really good honestly it's
a it's a replayable campaign next up is black Mesa now Half-Life one was one the most important video
games ever released not only did it help push first person shooting forward but it also showed
off what was possible with video game storytelling and environmental design I mean given the fact
that Half-Life came out in 1998 an official remake seems long overdue but valve themselves haven't
done it instead a team of passionate fans called the Crowbar Collective took it upon themselves
to do a full remake of the original game in the new source engine black Mesa was stuck in Early
Access for a long time before finally getting an official 1.0 release in early 2020 and it was
worth the wait many people consider this to be the definitive way to play Half-Life one and it
perfectly adapted the original made it fit with modern game or modern video game expectations
certain levels are slightly changed to make them more engaging while a handful of puzzles
were made a bit more challenging anyway I was also improved and they even added some new story
elements and dialogue that fit perfect blackface is an amazing experience whether you're a long
time fan of Half-Life or you've never played the original you should do this one call me a
poser but I think it's the best way to play the original game I know now we got to talk about
one of the saddest campaigns in video game history Halo Reach the final Halo game developed by Bunch
now reach got a bit of flack for its multiplayer mode but literally everything else about it was
perfect the campaign man the story took place before Master Chief Saga showed players how
the conflict between the humans and the Covenant started and what happened to the Spartan program
before Master Chief came around reaches level design is closer to Combat Evolved than Halo 2
or 3. it had open environments with a clear Way Forward and it allowed you to approach various
combat scenarios with different strategies now the gameplay wasn't the only great thing
the characters they were some of the best in the franchise the story stuck to you it was engaging
it was heartbreaking once you got to the end of it it ripped your heart out Halo Reach has one of the
best endings in any FPS game I've ever played and honestly you're heartless if you play through the
whole thing without even getting a little bit emotional the game aged beautifully and since
it's added to the Master Chief Collection you have no excuses and you definitely have no excuses for
the last one on this list Doom Eternal released in 2020 after a couple delays it was heavily
anticipated as the follow-up to the franchise's reboot Doom 2016 nearly perfect people weren't
really sure how ID software was going to follow it up but they did Duma Turtle has been called
one of the greatest first-person shooters ever made I don't disagree the gameplay was elevated
to a whole new level if that's even possible in the story it wasn't super interesting but that's
not what you were there for so it's not a mark against it the gameplay of Doom Eternal some of
the best I've ever experienced you got a wide array of Weaponry a huge roster of enemies you
had to pay attention to in order to learn their weaknesses it was an incredibly difficult game but
once you figured it out and how everything flows and where all the buttons are it's an addicting
gameplay experience it is it's a fantastic game it's a must play for fans of first-person shooters
and despite it just being two years old I put it at number one today and there you have it those
are some of the greatest FPS campaigns of all time I do want to give an honorable mention I have to
do this and it probably should have made the list and that belongs to Call of Duty infinite Warfare
that campaign is one of the best Call of Duty campaigns of all time as well so I had to throw
that in there just for you guys like I said if you enjoy comic books pop culture or anything like
that go give chaos comics and follow as well the link is at the top description I'll see you soon
