Liputan6.com, Jakarta - For fans of first-person shooter (FPS) games seeking a deep experience with intense combat, a rich sci-fi narrative, and robust multiplayer elements, Halo has long been the benchmark.

However, the gaming world offers a variety of other titles that deliver similar thrills.

Here are five recommended games worth checking out, each with its own unique qualities while still delivering the essence of thrilling action and adventure.

One top recommendation is Doom Eternal, a first-person shooter released in 2020.

Developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks, this title is the sequel to Doom (2016) and the seventh game in the Doom series.

The story continues the journey of the Doom Slayer on a mission to stop the Earth from being consumed by Hell and thwart the alien Maykr's plan to wipe out humanity.

Doom Eternal introduces a variety of new weapons and enemy types, with a significant focus on resource management.

Players can obtain ammunition, armor, and health for the Slayer by executing enemies at close range.

In addition to the single-player campaign, the game also features a multiplayer mode called Battlemode.

The next option is Titanfall 2, the sequel to Titanfall (2014), which was released globally on October 28, 2016, for PlayStation, Windows, and Xbox One.

In this game, players control Titans, mecha-style exoskeletons, and their agile Pilots, equipped with abilities like wall-running and stealth.

The single-player campaign is set in a sci-fi universe, following the story of Jack Cooper, a sniper with the Frontier Militia.

Cooper bonds with his Titan mentor, BT-7274, after his mentor, Tai Lastimosa, is killed in action.

Together, they attempt to stop the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC), which plans to use a superweapon to destroy the planet Harmony.

Next up is Wolfenstein: The New Order, a first-person shooter with action-adventure elements released on May 20, 2014.

Developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks, it is set in an alternate universe where the Nazis won World War II and took over the world in the 1960s.

Players control William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, an American captain, leads a counterattack against the Nazi regime.

The gameplay combines narrative exploration and puzzle-solving with Wolfenstein-style, intense action combat.

The game features a variety of weapons, most of which can be dual-wielded, as well as a cover system.

For those looking for an online experience, Destiny 2 is a free-to-play online first-person shooter developed by Bungie.

Originally released in 2017 as a paid title, the game transitioned to a free-to-play live service model on October 1, 2019.

Set in a “mythical science fiction” world, the game features a multiplayer “shared world” environment with elements of role-playing games (RPGs) and massively multiplayer online games (MMOs).

Players, known as Guardians, use special weapons and abilities alongside other Guardians.

Activities in Destiny 2 are divided between player-versus-environment (PvE) and player-versus-player (PvP) game modes.

The game was released on September 13, 2019.

The plot centers on four new Vault Hunters recruited by the Crimson Raiders of Pandora.

Their mission is to stop twins Troy and Tyreen Calypso and their cult followers from harnessing the power of alien Vaults scattered throughout the galaxy.

The game takes place approximately seven years after the events of Borderlands 2.

Borderlands 3 was praised for its gameplay, which focused on smooth and enjoyable combat, with an emphasis on countless weapons and crazy effects.
