I don’t feel comfortable using a mouse and I have no interest in working on my mouse skills. I play all of my games with either a controller or a keyboard, and I’m looking for 3rd-person shooters I can play with a controller.
I’m mainly interested in action games. I’m OK with a world with gated areas a la metroidvanias/soulslikes, but I’m not interested in full-on open world or narrative-driven games.
Examples of 3rd-person shooters I enjoyed playing with a controller: Gungrave, Vanquish, and Evil West.
Examples of 3rd-person shooters I don’t enjoy and have no interest in: Uncharted, The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, Dead Space, Control/Alan Wake, or GTA.
I mainly play on PC, Steam in particular, but I’ll boot up emulators if the game is worth it.
Damn, I just realized I kinda always subconsciously ignored this series for some reason. Added to my list, thanks.
They’re fun and campy, taking most of their inspiration from those old sci-fi B-movies. Some of the humor might not have aged very well, particularly in the second one, but there’s a disclaimer at the beginning of each game that says as much.
For instance, the second game takes place in the 60s, and in a couple levels some of the thoughts you can scan are a little questionable.
Yes, I love campy games/movies! The Nixon impression in the trailer sold it for me 😂
Reminds me of The Deadly Tower of Monsters.
