Feels like most shooter games these days are super fast paced, COD style games with 0.5 second reload times and Olympic sprinter running speeds. What are some games that have weightier gameplay mechanics and don’t make you feel like a superhuman?

    RoboCop Rogue City maybe? I’ve only played like 30 min, but you are RoboCop so you move pretty slow and deliberately.

    Escape from Tarkov has a PVE mode now, so you dont gotta deal with the sweaties of PVP. Any of the tactical looter shooters have a slow vibe. Tarkov was intense and difficult for a long time, but my bestie was my Sherpa, so to speak, and we go into maps together and I can handle myself now. It has a hideout building aspect, so your loot goes towards something. There’s quests from the trade vendors, that all builds a lore to the game that has a lot of secrecy. I dunno a lot of it, but it’s fun to figure out. It also has weapon building, where all the weapons are able to be taken apart and sold for parts or pieced together with the parts you want. The ammo has stats on what can penetrate armor, and the armor has a plate system so you can buy or find better plates for it. There’s a durability aspect too, and weapons can jam and need to be evaluated and then clearing the malfunction. There’s bosses, too. And different factions to deal with. Many are ill equiped, and some are decked out in gear with big weapons. Your character can die with one shot if there’s no armor there. Or you can tank a bunch of shots if you’re kitted out. There’s even a flea market that’s player based. So the prices can make your character rich, if you play the market or sell stuff. Like, selling a chocolate bar can net you 100k, because they’re fast food during in-raid. Oh, and there’s a whole water + food system. So you have to find food and water to keep that going. You have to use the right meds for the right situation; splits for fractures, bandages for light bleeds, tournequits for heavy bleeds, pain killers, injector pens for status effects and medkits to heal, after you deal with all those situations. Some medkits even cover a lot of the various things, some inject pens cover various things too.

    It’s pretty in-depth.

    The game is based in Russia though. Your character is without a faction, despite picking one “USEC” OR “BEAR.” But that’s just how you got into the city; USEC was the corporations mercenary group, BEARs were the military. And it takes place after the fighting, your character sorta got out of the faction. Unless you do a scavenger (scav) run, everyone is unfriendly. Scavs all stick together except the boss and their goons might pop you.

    It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with real politics, far as I’ve seen? But the lore deals with the corporate greed, military powers, and regular scavenger people all kinda vying for survival in a war torn city of Tarkov. It’s a weird lore, but interesting for a game and intense gunfights of fire, move, cover, fire, move, cover. Be wary of a clicking grenade and run.

    Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but Hunt: Showdown is a pvpve experience set in a fictionalized horror-themed 1900s old west.

    The guns have few shots and are very slow to reload. Often your best strategy is to move very slowly and deliberately, looking closely for any movement from other players, taking care not to make any errant noises. Every single sound you make, including right clicking to aim down sights, is audible to your opponent if they’re close enough. One good shot is enough to down someone.

    The result is a unique experience that can hit both extremes: agonizingly slow build up of anticipation, or a fast paced chase through the woods to cut off an escape.

    Selaco, with the way I play it. The enemies kick my ass all the time because I always just go guns blazing. I’ve had to relearn to use cover and such.

    Robocop: rogue city You have a slowmo skill in the tree right from very early game and you’re Robocop so you’re a rather slow walking tank. Great game all around.

    SUPERHOT moves at your pace. Though it definitely does make you feel superhuman, just in a different way.
