What Is an FPS?

FPS (First Person Shooter) is a genre of game played through the player character's own eyes. First Person Shooter is a subcategory of shooter games and is played from a first-person perspective. That is, everything we see on screen in the games is presented from the character's own point of view. In this way, players are meant to get lost in the atmosphere, feel like they are inside the game and become one with the character.

The Best FPS Games of 2021

We have listed the best FPS games on PC, one of the most popular genres today.

SUPERHOT

SUPERHOT is an FPS game developed by the SUPERHOT Team studio. In this game, where time only moves when you move, the goal is to defeat opponents by using the objects around you, whether a weapon or a cup, while figuring out how to dodge bullets and enemies. Bullets will come at you as long as you move; when you do not move, you will analyze the environment well and learn how to avoid those bullets. With a playtime of only 4-5 hours, this game literally defies time with the ''Time'' mechanic it brings to the FPS category. Dying a lot in these stages, where you play against multiple scenarios, seems to be the secret to living. We can say it is a game we would not recommend much to impatient people.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, or CS:GO for short as it is more commonly known, developed by Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment, is an essential among first-person shooter games.

In the game, terrorists either plant a bomb somewhere or defend hostages, while counter-terrorists try to prevent these bombs from being planted, defuse the bomb and rescue the hostages. Gamers' interest in CS:GO, an indispensable game of the gaming world, continues unabated. We could not leave CS:GO off the list. We strongly recommend the game, the leader of its genre regardless of era, to everyone who has still not played it.

In Battle Royale mode, 150 players face off in teams and the surviving team wins. In Plunder mode, users again fight in teams of 150 players. The main goal in Plunder is for players to roam all over the map during a 30-minute match and collect a total of 1 million dollars. If a team collects this money before 30 minutes, the amount of money on the map doubles and the team that collects the most money wins the match.

Back 4 Blood

Back 4 Blood is an FPS game developed by Turtle Rock Studios and to be published by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment. The game, which will carry the Left 4 Dead 2 we all love into 2021, lets you relive this zombie experience with your friends. The game begins after an outbreak in which most of humanity was infected by the Devil Worm. Players come together to fight zombies as if it were doomsday, and fight to defeat the diseased scourge known as the Ridden and survive. The game, which has not been released yet, looks set to meet gamers toward the end of 2021. Since it is still in the beta stage, no system requirement information has been shared, but we think it will be a system-friendly game.

Dusk

Dusk is a retro-style FPS game set in the fictional town of Dusk, Pennsylvania. It has a wide arsenal of weapons including sickles, swords, crossbows, rifles, double-barreled shotguns, grenades and rocket launchers. In the game, which consists of three chapters in total (The Foothills, The Facilities and The Nameless City), the player takes on the role of a treasure hunter. In the first chapter, the treasure hunter travels through various rural settings such as swamps, barns and cornfields after escaping from the farmhouse where he was caught in the sealed town. After crossing the perimeter wall and entering the city, he discovers an underground passage that takes him to the industrial district. In the second chapter, he starts fighting through the remains left by soldiers and scientists in the industrial district. In the third and final chapter, the treasure hunter finds himself in an alternate reality. He confronts and defeats the cult leader Jakob, who was killed by his followers. Then another God named Nyralthotep, after being defeated by the treasure hunter, gives him an unknown power. The game comes across as a pure action-packed FPS. It will be a great experience for those looking for an old-school FPS.

After corrupt companies in the Norvinsk region become the center of a major political scandal, Russian Interior Troops, the United Nations and two private military companies enter an armed conflict. That is why it is important for the main character to check his weapon, equipment and armor choices before each raid. During a raid, you also need to carry medical equipment such as bandages, painkillers and morphine against injuries. Do not forget to carry food and drinks to support your energy either. In the multiplayer game, the player tries to escape the city of Tarkov by defeating opponents. For this reason it is the FPS game with the tensest and most exciting atmosphere on the market. As we wrote before, in Escape from Tarkov, which is also a great simulation, you even have to count your bullets one by one to learn how many you have. It is strongly recommended for those looking for a realistic gaming experience.
