the 2020s have been a wild ride for video games now the new consoles had these crazy launches
with Hardware shortages but quality games kept on coming and there's been a lot of really great
experiences over the last few years so as we turn the corner into 2023 and uh we are here I figured
it'd be a good time to look back at the 2020s so far pick out some of the best first person
shooters that stood out that may actually end up being in people's best of the decade YouTube
videos when we get to 2029. so you let me know which of these you played the most drop a like
welcome to the page and we start off with a game that I think some people saw as a disappointment
but hang on death Loop now uh yes some people said it was a disappointment if it didn't hit
your expectations I think it was one of the best Shooters of the decade so far plus the
idea is that the team put into the game they're really good I mean I can't wait to see what other
games do with similar Concepts death loot had you playing through levels over and over again
until you could do them perfectly you created this weird FPS version of Groundhog's Day it demanded
Perfection but it rewarded you for taking risks to speed up your run once you died a few times
had some technical issues yes and the lack of an Xbox Port was a bummer but it's a good game and
you can always rely on an Arcane to come up and and give you this really good unique FPS gameplay
loot first Dishonored and now this I honestly can't wait to see what they do next at number nine
valorate now with riot games the developers of League of Legends announced they were going to
try their hand in a competitive first-person shooter a lot of people were very dismissive
myself included but what they ended up launching was one of the most addicting tactical Shooters
since Rainbow Six Siege and it perfectly adapted the world of League to the new genre of games now
the gun play it feels similar to Counter-Strike there's a number of special abilities gadgets make
it feel it made that it makes it feel familiar to OverWatch and Siege as well valorent really
was the best multiplayer FPS genre all rolled into one game and while it does have issues still does
you need gameplay Loop managed to make it one of the biggest PC games in the world on day one and
it has not released that title there's lots of rumors suggesting we'll get a console Port of
Valor within the next year or so which would be very interesting because I have no idea how
they're going to adapt The Recoil patterns of the game to a controller and I'm not really sure they
want to go Cross Point again like this but I'm eager to see what happens I think Valerian is
one of the best FPS games of the decade so far at number eight Resident Evil Village I mean does it
count as a first person shooter I mean it's played in first person you shoot a lot of things so we're
gonna count it re7 brought the franchise Back to Basics really strip things down so some of
the fans were a little bit turned off at how much action Arie Village brought back into the
equation but when you look at it as a love letter to re4 you get it the developer said many times
the village was supposed to be an evolution of re4 and I think Village did it perfect not only
is it very tense it's very scary but the shooting actually feels good you really feel the impact of
each bullet you use once you can't find anymore Village may not have been people's favorite game
in the series but it has a fan club a big one I really think it's one of the best first person
shooters of the decade so far you may say that because of the options are limited but I genuinely
think the game is worth your time if you have fond memories of Resident Evil 4. at number seven ready
or not this is a game I've been following for a while and when it finally launched it was awesome
to see just how much it evolved Ready or Not is a tactical shooter heavily inspired by the old
SWAT series but with an a even heavier focus on realism you conduct various SWAT team operations
in California City and when it finally hit steam in 2021 it made waves for how insanely tense and
immersive the gameplay was this is one of the best looking and sounding games I've ever seen
and the gameplay is super addicting especially when playing with friends the game is excellent
and with more and more content coming through the updates it's only going to get better with time at
number six postal brain damage now I recently said postal 4 was one of the worst games of last year
but strangely the spin-off brain damaged maybe one of the best PC exclusives I'm aware of I'm serious
here brain damage is a boomer shooter spin-off it is off the main series simply takes everything you
could possibly want from an old school FPS cranks it up to 20 and lets you go the final product is
yes an over-the-top stylish extremely fast-paced FPS that demands a ton of effort from the player
but it also rewards him with some of the best combat on the market right now if the postal
series just goes all in on being a boomer shooter from now on I think people are going to fall in
love with the IP all over again I mean the steam page is currently stamped with that ever elusive
overwhelmingly positive tag so it's worth giving a shot give it a shot the game is honestly fantastic
and the fact that it came from freaking postal I mean never ceases to amaze me at number five
black Mesa now I know you've probably been hearing about this game for five years or more but the
final 1.0 version finally dropped on PC in March of 2020 and it was worth it it's a passionate
remake of the original Half-Life in the most recent versions of valve Source engine and with
a number of improvements from the 1998 original half-life's level design and storytelling of age
like fine wine in the updated visuals and slight alterations of black Mesa they they're Flawless
brought it to the Modern Age and hopefully introduced a ton of new Gamers to the FPS classic
the original Half-Life can be a little hard for newer Gamers to get into because the visuals are
dated kind of janky shooting but black Mesa fixes all of that and shows just how awesome a remake
can be if it's made by true fans of the original if you never played any version of Half-Life I
recommend black Mesa as your introduction it's seriously that good at number four metal helsinger
who knew that blending Doom Eternal with Guitar Hero would be such a good idea this is one of the
most unique games I've seen blending two Boomer Shooters and Rhythm games to make this elaborate
involved in amazing FPS experience you run around you do combat with dozens of enemies but you get
bonus points and you deal extra damage if you move an attack to the beat of the music and the
game's soundtrack is is really good even if you don't like heavy metal music give it a try it's
one of the coolest Concepts and ideas for a video game I've ever heard from in the near Universal
Acclaim that it received is going to keep it fresh in people's minds as we chug along into the 2020s
get ready for more creative new Rhythm games after this one at number three escape from tarkov now
never thought a game like tarkov would catch on to the degree it did but this indie game managed
to single-handedly popularize the extraction game type that has been getting so much attention in
recent months escape from tarkov is an extremely hardcore tactical shooter you grab some gear you
drop it a hot spot try to gather as much loose you can get out one piece along the way you'll
encounter hostile NPCs other players trying to make off with all the good stuff at which point
you can engage them you can try to steal what they're carrying or you could hide if you die
and tarkov you lose everything in your inventory creating this super addicting push and pull game
play Loop that is always going to keep you trying to find better stuff and don't get too ballsy
unless you're a Madman escape from tarkov is an excellent game in its own right and the impact
it's had on the industry already it's going to be felt for the rest of the decade at number two
Ultra kill I did say it like that 2020s have been a time of Boomer Shooters and perhaps the best one
is ultra kill Indie FPS basically Devil May Cry mix with Quake mixed with doom Eternal and that
is awesome he plays a robot blasting through the underworld and killing thousands of enemies in
this super stylish and gruesome way and it creates this super fast pace in addicting FPS that grade
you on your performance after every major combat encounter like Devil May Cry but also uses enemy
blood as health so that way you're always pushing forward and playing aggressive it's a
fantastic shooter the updates have been making it continuously better it launched a couple years ago
but it's been getting a ton of attention in the last few months so hopefully that Trend continues
and more people give this masterpiece a try and at number one today The elusive the illustrious
best FPS game of the 2020 so far has to be do maternal shouldn't be a shock many have called
this one of the greatest first-person shooters ever made and since it launched at the beginning
of 2020 it was an incredible way to kick off the decade now granted there's a chance it won't be
surpassed but I guess we'll wait and see now Doom 2016 was is a stripped down and modernized
version of classic Doom gameplay Doom Eternal was the true Evolution quickly took over the entire
gaming world fast-paced weapon swapping gameplay never felt so good with the addition of tons of
new movement options it played faster than ever which I didn't think was possible the game is
amazing and if it's any indication of how awesome AAA Shooters are going to be in the future I'm
excited to see what's in store for the rest of the decade there you go let me know what FPS game that
has launched in 2020 or later that was deserving of being on this list and I'll see you guys soon
