Is there any shooter that meets those criteria?

  • Enemies are just soldiers/rebels/gang members/humans?
  • Somewhat longer TTK
  • Ideally some deep gunplay like Planetside 2 (recoil patterns, bullet travel, CoF, etc)
  • Ideally some rng or replay value (roguelite, random encounters, etc.)
  • Not online only

I just want to launch a game and fight after work, master guns and ideally unlock shit if that’s not asking for too much. I used to get that in Planetside 2, but in my timezone, it’s not an option and I’m offline a lot. Closest I found is:

  • F.E.A.R. (replayed the story over and over, but the guns feel pretty bad compared to modern games)
  • Robocop (LOVE the gunplay and locational damage, but the downtime is killing me at this point)
  • Brink (best example I guess…)
  • Blacklight Retribution against bots
  • Some CoD games like BO2
  • Maximum Action
  • Shadow Warrior 2 (some maps have a handful of humans but it’s mainly monsters)
  • RoboQuest (my main squeeze atm, but it’s robots without blood)
  • Rico
  • RS Siege Terrorist Hunt
  • Payday 2 (IF it was possible to have longer ttk and much fewer cops)
  • CS & Insurgency with bots (but low ttk is kind of boring to me)

Thanks!

    I honestly might recommend escape from tarkov, it’s just that I honestly don’t respect the devs very much. But it’s a very good game, you can play on PvE mode so no need to worry about timezones or anything like that. It has a incredibly in depth gun system since its pretty much just real gun mechanics, and I honestly love that about the game, it has taught me so much about guns and their attachments. The one thing is that it can have a low time to kill, but there’s an in depth armor mechanic to the game that can change that. On top of all that, it’s an extraction shooter, which conceptually is literally just an fps roguelite. Just a warning, it doesn’t allow Linux users if you are one, even for PvE mode, but there’s a mod you can get called SPT(single player tarkov), and it allows you to play on Linux on top of allowing you to mod it further.

        I didn’t say I respected the developers, in fact I specifically said I didn’t respect them, I’m just saying that its a good game with similar gameplay mechanics to what op was looking for

          And I’m just providing additional context that might help them make an informed purchasing decision 👍
