Introduction
These shooting games not only provide a lot of shooting, but also tell exciting and emotional stories. Mostly shooting games are famous for only shooting or killing in the game but here are 9 shooting games with a great storyline. You should must try these shooting games.
1.Half-Life 2
Even though Half-Life was a revolutionary game, it had little story (a couple of talkative scientists don’t count). In Half-Life 2 and its sequels, the plot became one of the main components. There is a clear main goal: to rid the city of alien invaders. The motivations and characters of the characters are thought out, and the game world is filled with science fiction, at times intertwined with harsh realism.
Moreover, the story in Half-Life 2 is closely tied to the gameplay. Gordon’s vehicles and devices receive improvements as the game progresses, which is always logically arranged. Even simply teaching the hero how to use a gravity gun reveals details about the life of Alix, Freeman’s companion, who helps him in battle and solving puzzles.
2. Far Cry 3
A bold experiment by Ubisoft. Far Cry 3 has a lot of good things: beautiful and bright graphics, a rich open world, cool shooting. But the shooter is remembered mostly for its plot.
A spoiled young guy and his friends accidentally find themselves on a tropical island full of dangers . There he is met by Vaas, the mad leader of the bandits who control the area. Now the main character needs to learn to shoot, hunt and survive in order to become a real warrior, defeat the antagonist and save his friends.
As the story progresses, the player meets many memorable characters, but the real symbol of the game is the psychopath Vaas. He is so well written by the scriptwriters and played by Michael Mando.
3. BioShock series
The first two BioShock games take place in the underwater city of Rapture, and the third in the floating city of Columbia. However, in every game in the series, one thing remains the same: their stories tell about people (and almost people) who rebelled against power structures. Society is either on the verge of destruction, or has already been destroyed, and the heroes are fighting those who brought people to this state.
The stories in each game are fascinating, with frequent unexpected twists. The emphasis on plot is especially strong in the third part: it is the climax that affects and partly explains the other two.
4. Borderlands 2
Borderlands 2 is a journey. Having recovered from the train crash, the heroes set out to take revenge on the man who tried to kill them – Handsome Jack. He, of course, will try to deal with them several hundred more times.
On his way, the player will meet dozens of unique and literally crazy characters . The main thing you need to know before passing is that the side quests here are sometimes even more interesting than the main ones. And don’t forget about the add-ons. There is a lot of content in them, and the stories are every bit as humorous and inventive.
5. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
A cowboy who has seen better days stumbles into a bar, orders a drink and begins to tell the amazing story of his life. It turns out that he fought with almost all the famous bandits of the Wild West: Billy the Kid, Jesse James and others.
The player must “live” what the cowboy is talking about. The character remembers details – they appear in front of the player in real time. If a hero dies in a flashback, the narrator stammers: “No, wait, it wasn’t like that.” And all this is presented with light humor and mysticism.
6. Metro Series
Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light are inspired by the books of Dmitry Glukhovsky . The developers worked closely with the writer during the creation of the games, so their stories are fascinating, authentic and thoughtful.
The player travels through the Moscow metro, where people live after a nuclear war, and periodically comes out onto a surface contaminated with radiation. Along the way he meets different characters – good and bad, traitors and true friends. And in the end he has to make several difficult decisions on which the fate of the world depends.
7. Spec Ops: The Line
Spec Ops: The Line starts out as a regular military shooter. Three brave soldiers arrive in destroyed Dubai to find the source of strange messages. They are attacked by rebels, then by American soldiers. Everything turns out to be not what it seems, and then again. The ending completely turns the whole story upside down.
Despite the fact that the shooter was released quite a long time ago, it still perfectly demonstrates the horrors and consequences of war.
8. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series
The Modern Warfare trilogy is an epic adventure that will take the player from covert operations in the Middle East to full-fledged war between Russia and the United States. There are not many characters in these shooters, but the characters are memorable. Mainly because in each part you need to play as a new character side by side with the old ones.
Not all three parts of Modern Warfare turned out equally good. Nevertheless, they gave us many amazing moments: the mission in Pripyat, the grueling defense of a small restaurant in an American city, or watching a nuclear explosion from the first person.
9. Wolfenstein: The New Order
Wolfenstein takes place in an alternate universe in the sixties. Germany won World War II and took over the whole world. Soldier B.J. Blaskowitz wakes up after years in a vegetative state and sets out for revenge. He joins the resistance, entirely consisting of colorful characters.
At its core, The New Order is a game about destroying Nazis by any means possible. But it also has a great plot, including science fiction, mysticism and allusions to the real plans of the Third Reich.
