What are people's recommendation for their favourite FPS single player campaigns that you still enjoy playing a couple of levels once in awhile? No multiplayer suggestions.

My all time one is Medal Of Honor 2010 reboot. I don't play through it every time but I have a couple of favourite levels.

DOOM Eternal or maybe the original Crysis

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've been meaning to try the original Crysis now that I have a computer that can play it. I started it, but then life happened.

DOOM Eternal didn't do it for me. It's Doom-ish, but not enough. It'd be a better game if it wasn't set in the Doom universe trying to add a bunch of non-Doom elements to the game. Doom (2016) did that too, but not to the same extent. I like the older Dooms mostly for their simplicity: get gun, see bad guy, shoot gun. Pick up health. Repeat. Doom Eternal did that, but added a story, weapon mods, and skills. Fine mechanics, but not Doom enough for me.

DOOM Eternal was like a ... crazy adrenaline pumping high for me that I normally don't get out of single player games, so that's why it's arguably my favorite.

I never really played the original DOOM games (they're almost too simple for me ... I didn't grow up with them but I did get into PC shooters with Xonotic -- a fast paced Quake derivative, so DOOM Eternal kinda makes sense for me).

I need to try out Xonotic. I went to high school with the guy who started the original game, who runs Alientrap now.

Oh wow, that's quite the backstory!

Yup, I was friends with his older brother. Both of them were/are a bit weird, didn't think much of either of them academically until grade 12. Then their math & and computer genious came out. Had a few university classes with them, the older brother has better social skills, but Lee is more creative IMHO.

Upshot is I played Capsized in 2009, so that was neat.

DOOM Eternal is pretty damn close to perfection. The only thing that keeps it from 10/10 for me is the length of the missions, especially on harder difficulties. I feel absolutely exhausted after just one level.

Then again, maybe I'm just old.
