Sprawl
In the realm of Elsewhere, spotlighted by Mytour in Part 1, Sprawl emerges as a retro first-person shooter, but with a much more hardcore edge. Set in a Cyberpunk mega-city, where powerful corporations govern with their own violent agencies, you embody SEVEN, a deserted special forces soldier urged to escape by a mysterious voice – reminiscent of CD Projekt's game.
Similar to Cyberpunk 2077, in Sprawl, players augment themselves with various electronic components and machinery. This is vital as Sprawl's streets are filled with danger, and enemy forces seem almost endless. The shooting aspect of the game, more appealing than Cyberpunk 2077, allows for wall-running, a promise CD Projekt couldn't fulfill.
Trepang 2
The author is a fervent F.E.A.R. enthusiast, a first-person shooter by Monolith released in 2005. F.E.A.R.'s enemies, surprisingly simple yet incredibly intelligent, are still voted as the most formidable opponents in the shooter genre nearly 20 years later. If you seek a challenge, F.E.A.R. is undoubtedly the game for you.
Mytour talks extensively about F.E.A.R. to introduce Trepang 2 to readers. This game can truly be considered a 'F.E.A.R Remake' with almost every aspect resembling it, from the shooting feel, the explosive grenade mechanics, slow-motion mode, intertwining supernatural elements in the storyline, to the level design and the cleverness of enemies. The game even improves with 'special moves' like dual-wielding and extremely intense boss battles, keeping gamers on the edge of their seats. If there's anything the game falls short of compared to the old F.E.A.R., it's probably that it's not long enough, leaving fans wanting more after finishing.
Six Days in Fallujah
Embark on a military multiplayer shooter, a milsim focusing on realism akin to Arma 3, not opting for the 'run and gun' style of Call of Duty or Battlefield. It transports you to the blazing city of Fallujah in Iraq, where the sun radiates, and the battlefield is ablaze and burning.
In Six Days in Fallujah, you'll truly feel caught in the crossfire, with authentic sound and visuals, although not the pinnacle. It might not be the most captivating shooter in its milsim genre, but it stands as one of the best shooters released in 2023. Mytour suggests giving it a chance; who knows, you might discover a new game for long-term pursuit?
Starship Troopers Extermination
The mere mention tells you what this game is about. Indeed, it's a shooter depicting the war between human soldiers and the giant bugs from outer space, simulating the content of the Starship Troopers novel. The world of the original novel has much more to explore, and Extermination is an opportunity to do just that.
In the game, you directly become a Starship Trooper and, along with numerous comrades, fight against the oversized insect horde controlled by AI. To accomplish this, players are given a wide variety of weapons to use, and all of them provide a great shooting experience, visually stunning and satisfying.
System Shock Remake
If you're not aware, System Shock 2023 is a remake of the 'super classic' System Shock released in 1994, the inspiration for the later BioShock series. This remake is one of the most anticipated games in history, with a development process lasting nearly 8 years and multiple delays: 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, and finally released in 2023.
But the gaming community feels extremely lucky when the game officially comes out, and it's truly a masterpiece. Using the storyline from the original game released nearly 30 years ago, Nightdive Studios has created a new masterpiece that truly suits the taste of today's gamers, captivating everyone. In addition to exciting gunfights, a 'mind-bending' storyline will surprise gamers – these are the strengths of System Shock 2023.
Robocop: Rogue City
Robocop: Rogue City is one of the best shooters of 2023, developed based on the classic Robocop series. The development team strives to recreate the feeling of a rugged, heavy-duty Robocop in their game, and they have succeeded. The game truly makes players feel like stepping into the shoes of the unfortunate police officer, the main character of the film on a mission to eliminate crime, 'protect and serve' the people of Detroit around him.
Your main weapon in the game is the Auto 9 with unlimited ammo, and it's truly a joy to use. Additionally, Robocop can use heavy weapons taken from enemies to turn them into dust when needed. If you don't want to be too violent like a true American cop, during the game, players can also let Robocop try out peaceful solutions. This also affects the outcome of the game, somewhat increasing its replay value.
