Half Life 2 + episodes Return to Castle Wolfenstein F.E.A.R. 1 & Extraction Point Titanfall 2 Bioshock Trio Halo 3 + Reach Wolfenstein New Order & Old Blood Killzone 2&3 Metro Trio
Honorable mentions: CoD4, MW2, BO1, Infinite Warfare, MW'19 (short & enjoyable campaigns) Quake 1, Doom'16 & Eternal (not story but purely on gameplay) Dishonored series & OG Thief (not strictly shooters but great first person stealth games) Fallout 3 & NV as well as Deus Ex 1 + HR + MD (if first person RPGs with guns are allowed) STALKER (becoz cheeki breeki)
We need a resurgence of good story driven linear first person shooters. Not open world quest fests or live service shooters.
I wouldn't hold your breath for another Condemned game because they won't even make Condemned 2: Bloodshot backwards compatible. I've been asking for so long that they make it back compat to no avail.
I swear I fina buy an old 360 from somebody just to beat Bloodshot. Hopefully soon now that I got a new job.
Came here looking for BioShock and Wolfenstein: The New Order. Also, I am really looking forward to Atomic Heart next year. It looks amazing, and maybe we'll see that game on future lists like this if it turns out as good as it looks.
I think I heard MW tends to be straight forward and BO story tends to be encrypted. Saying this way because i havent played MW the only CoD I played was BO1 and BO3 beause it was free. After playing BO3 I was kinda confused a bit and had to read up on it etc making me think ok not bad.
Definitely. The BO series has way better story lines than MW.
@blackblades Yeah, MW is your typical "America good, everyone bad, shoot and/or blow everything up" story. BO games typically have more depth to the story.
No particular order but the first that come to mind that really stuck with me. Bioshock 1/infinite Mirrors edge Cold winter Resistance series Wolfenstein Darkness Chronicles of Riddick Halo 1-3 Fear 1 and 2 Half life 2(& episodes)
Everyone agrees, bioshock is #1, ? on mirrors edge its one of my favs but can we really call that a 1st shooter when its more parkor. I never took a gun and killed honestly
- Chronicles of Riddick (both games) - BioShock - Wolfenstein: The New Order - Call of Duty 4, MW2, W@W, Cold War - Deus Ex: Human Revolution, even though it's technically an RPG
My list would include:
1. Bioshock
2. Call of Duty: Black Ops
3. Far Cry 3
4. Halo 4
5. Wolfenstein: The New Order
The Darkness had a good story. It's a shame the sequel ended on a cliffhanger as we never got a third game.

Black Ops should be on that list. The story is better than MW2 in my opinion.
