So you’ve played and finished Halo: Infinite and other Halo games, but crave some more action? Still have a want for a dynamic first-person shooter with awesome guns? You need a well-written storyline and/or multiplayer mode to own some Elite-preferred species? Want to play as another super-soldier?

If you have answered “yes” to any or all of these questions, then do I have a treat for you! To start off, we need to set some criteria. The questions above are your criteria! Not all the games will answer all the questions positively, but you’ll be satisfied, whether you play on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox consoles. With that out of the way, let's get down to business and start digging for some answers!

Destiny 2 (PC and Consoles)

Why shouldn’t we start off with a video game that’s made by the creators of Halo? Coming from Bungie Inc, any Halo fan would be remiss not to check out a title that put a little stop to another Halo game.

So what is it? It’s an odd, yet smooth mix of a third-person shooter with an occasional third-person perspective when you swing a melee weapon. Also, you get mechanics from some RPG games. With online multiplayer community and storytelling as its main focus, divinity is… really engaging. So what do you do in this game?

Here’s What You Do in This Game

Gameplay here is really simple. You grab your guns, grab your armor and go exploring! It’s like an MMO that watched too many streams of fps games. 

You can participate in missions, wander around until you stumble upon an adventure that culminates in a fierce boss fight with neat loot. Or you can find a group for various raids and… It’s an FPS MMO, come on. 

So why is it considered something similar to the Halo franchise? Because of the gunplay, the experience you get with abilities and the feeling of being an awesome Guardian is tight. You will need to dodge, shoot, jump and shoot your way out of most situations. 

That, or grab one of the classes that use melee and go to town on your enemies with a huge pole of pure energy. That’s not all game features, obviously. All I’m saying is that Bungie flawlessly translated their experience with Halo into a never-ending online multiplayer mode that you’ll want to invite your friends into. No matter if you’re flinging black holes, hosing everything down with lead, or sliding like a lunatic to cut all forces of Cabal apart, all fans of Master Chief will feel at home.

All that can also be applied to PvP because, of course, there’s PvP, and again… you played Halo? You’ll feel welcome. On to the story!

Titanfall 2 (PC and Consoles)

Do you like mechs? Because this is how you get giant mechs to pilot and shoot with! While campaign-wise Titanfall’s falls a bit short, with only five hours it’s good, but not exceptional. Some reviews compared it to “buddy comedy” with your 6-meter tall robot being the buddy. It’s solid, but nothing to write home about. Multiplayer? That is a whole another story!

Titanfall 2’s Multiplayer Is Kickass

Whoever came up with the idea to combine a fast-paced, first-person shooter with jetpacks, parkour, giant mechs, and amazing map design gets a beer on me. Guns are neat, so is customization, don’t get me wrong.

But compared to the adrenaline rush you feel, when you get onto an enemy mech, unload a magazine into its exposed guts, jump down, power slide, wall-running across the map, all the while gunning everything down… You get me, right? Guns are not the main feature here; they’re complimentary.

And then you can call for your personal mech to come crashing down from the sky, like an orbital knight, ready to take you into his saddle and unleash high-caliber hell on drones and players alike. DAMN, this game hits my every weakness. From big, stompy gameplay, with big, thunk-thunk-ing guns, to literal acrobatics you will do to avoid fire while on foot, it’s action-packed to the brim.

You don’t have to take my word for it. Go, see some gameplay. Compared to the previous game, in this newer release developers improved everything, from mechanics to graphics. Its community is still going strong, and you won’t regret it if you join, by buying your Titanfall 2 CD key at RoyalCDKeys. Certainly worth playing.

Doom (PC and Consoles)

This is the successor of Doom. The Doom that put “first” in first-person shooters.

Of course, further in this article, by “Doom,” I mean Doom released in 2016, and Doom: Eternal. Both titles don’t have much in the way of multiplayer, but that’s ok. It’s the single-player stuff both of these titles excel at, and they’re some of the best games for that. 

And let’s be real. Sometimes we need some me-time, slaughtering demons from hell in the most brutal way possible to one of the most hardcore soundtracks imaginable. Apparently the composer, Mick Gordon, remixed some chainsaw sounds, so the music would have that raw, metal ring to it. How’s that for your fps game soundtrack?

They Are Rage, Brutal, Without Mercy…

ANYWAY. Both Dooms have one of the best single-player campaigns I’ve seen in years. The super-soldier protagonist utters not a single word because he lets his actions speak for himself. 

And there’s a surprising lot of charm and character to it, like little fist bumps he gives collectible figurines! He’s not a simpleton, but oh BOI, he is angry. How can he not be angry when demons from hell ruined his whole life. But Is he scared? Nope. Demons definitely are. It’s a power trip like that.

He shows that anger a lot. Those actions speaking for themselves are mostly brutal executions of demons, as you jump, run and gun-swap your way across any given area in a mental dance of gore, bullets, and pure brutality. This is the game you launch after a hard day to let off some steam.

Wolfenstein — Rebooted Series (PC and Consoles)

Welcome to the reboot of a great game! The return of a classic! This is a series where all the parts solely focus on their single-player campaign, and all this dedication really shows. You will play in an alternate reality, as William Joseph „B.J.” Blazkowicz. Basically, the Nazis won the World War II through the infinite power of handwave! Or science…? 

This Game Is Like a Satire of All the Bad Guys in Fiction

Look, while the characters treat everything seriously, it is apparent that developers had a lot of fun coming up with downright deranged ideas for their setting. Alternate history, with power armored Nazi, mutant super soldiers? Yup, and they have lasers, in the bloody 50s, which you can obviously use yourself!

Cybernetically enhanced canines, the size of a barn, serving as guard dogs? Here to hunt you down. A 30-meter tall mechanical, nuclear abomination that is there just to keep London in check? Yes, and your job is to destroy it! On foot! With guns!

In many ways, this is similar to the Doom: Eternal. It’s a no nonsense story, that doesn’t require much brainpower to follow, but still offers depth, if you want to look for it. It has amazing, addictive gameplay, satisfying guns, most of which you can dual wield, and gives you no moral dilemma of “who the real bad guys are.”

All of this with a healthy bit of dark humor, that fits the setting like a glove. Not only that, but it’s like the Halo series, in that it offers a multi-title spanning story, about one man who kicks asses through judicious violence, and who fights for what he believes is right.

If you liked the campaign in Halo, you’ll feel at home here. You can find Wolfenstein series on our site.

Singularity (PC and Xbox series)

This one got its release aaall the way back in 2010! Where to even start with this title… Maybe from the fact that you are, in a sense, a future-time policeman, who can use and reverse powers of entropy however you see fit?

Or the fact that gameplay feels like someone put Call of Duty, Halo, F.E.A.R., and Wolfenstein into a blender? There’s even some post-World War II action, with mad scientists and world dictators. For crying out loud!

Crisis

I will fondly remember the day when I first started Crisis. The sense of wonder with a new, intriguing campaign. The excitement, when I first heard the memetic words “CLOAK. ENGAGED.” followed by stalking and scouting out the first settlement. Pure power, when you could walk up to someone, grab them by the neck, use Strength mode and just fling them through a house wall.

The whole game is just awesome. And it got a remaster that had a release a couple of years ago, how about that? You can get Crisis CD Key with RoyalCDKeys!

The Story and the Cool Aliens

So, what’s the deal with soldiers in badass nanite spandex and this talk of aliens? Archeology, of course!

Ok, it’s more than that, but that’s the gist of it. American archeologists find a millions-year old ruin, send a distress call, and here comes the army! The North Korean one, because they’re the reason for the S.O.S. in the first place. Or are they? DUN DUN DUUUN… In any case, your squad’s transporter got shot down on your way to the island, where you get picked apart one by one, until only Nomad — the player character — remains. Have fun! 

Gameplay

There’s a lot to say here. Your nanosuit and its pool of energy are one of the key features, and it has four modes of operation:

• Armor protects against booletts and boosts energy regeneration. 
• Cloak makes you transparent but not invisible. Move quickly, and it’ll drain reserves like crazy.
• Speed is “soldier go fast.”
• Strength is… the most nuanced, oddly enough. It not only allows you to punch like a train or pick up and throw things you shouldn’t be able to. It also lowers recoil of weapons and allows you to jump higher. 

Combine all these, and you have yourself an arsenal of abilities that reward quick thinking and rapid change of modes. That, or careful planning to use everything in a precise manner. The game allows you to approach objectives however you like, so go Rambo on them, with guns blazing, or pick enemies out, one by one, like Predator. 

All this makes for really immersive gameplay. As long as you’re not detected, enemies are calm, relaxed even. Make even one shot and all hell lets loose as Korean soldiers start swamping your position with reinforcements, covering fire and grenades. So. Much. Fun! Seriously, it’s a nice change to have smart enemies.
