Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 cross-play

FPS games can be adrenaline-pumping experiences. These games are meant to get your blood pumping, eager to frag the next enemy. In addition, these games often feature players running from level to level. Or from match to match, seeking to prove their skill. Whether with the score you receive at the end of the round or the overall experience, there is something simply enjoyable about these games. So without further ado, here are our picks for the 5 Best FPS Games of 2022, Ranked.

5. The Cycle: Frontier

The Cycle: Frontier is a PvPvE battle royale that burst on the scene this year. Featuring solid gameplay mechanics that rival AAA offerings, this game has shown it has a lot to prove. Players will attempt to take control of various resources around the map. This gives a natural incentive for players to fight over these things. This gameplay loop keeps the game feeling fresh from round to round.

The gunplay within this game is intense and a shining example of what a developer that truly understands these mechanics can do. However, one aspect of the game that often goes unnoted is its crafting system. This crafting system seems to separate this game from other battle royale-style games. While it may not be the most popular kid on the FPS block, The Cycle: Frontier is one of the most unique and rewarding FPS experiences you can have this year. This unique approach to gameplay and the work that has been put into the game world places it on our list of the 5 best FPS games of 2022.

4. Metal: Hellsingergames like hellsinger

Metal: Hellsinger is a game with a unique premise. That being that, the game is entirely built around how the FPS mechanics of the game interact with the game's soundtrack. In addition, the game features a bumping metal soundtrack that lends itself well to the gameplay. These two elements form the symbiotic relationship that makes this game work well. As you are killing demons, and the music is pumping, it can be so enthralling that you get caught up in the game.

This gameplay mechanics go even deeper. However, as if players deal damage in time with the music, their damage is increased. This incentivizes players to pay close attention to the soundtrack and moment-to-moment gameplay to ensure they are doing the most damage possible. The rhythmic nature of the gameplay is a novel idea that more games in the future should implement. But for now, Metal: Hellsinger stands as a shining example of what can happen when gratuitous violence and gorgeous heavy metal meld into one. So if you are looking for an FPS game with a unique approach to gameplay, look no further than this title.

3. Overwatch 2Games Coming to PC October

Overwatch 2 is the sequel to the highly successful Overwatch. This time around, however, the game consists of 5v5 gameplay instead of the standard 6v6. This frees up one of the tank roles and significantly speeds up the gameplay. Players are not caught in a war of attrition with one another. This approach to gameplay has caused the skill to be placed squarely on the shoulders of the individual player. While teamplay certainly still exists in the game, there is now an emphasis on individual skill.

Players who enjoyed the first entry in the Overwatch series will find plenty to love here, as the solid FPS mechanics are still on display. They have been improved upon in many different ways. So if you and your friends want to get together and form an Overwatch 2 team, now would be a fantastic time to get into the game. As players still have plenty of time to learn the game. So if you are looking for one of the most solid FPS experiences of 2022, then Overwatch 2 has you covered.

2. Scorn

Scorn is a horror-themed survival FPS from Ebb Software. The game features a grim and gruesome aesthetic that lends itself well to the gory gameplay. That isn't to say that that is all this game has to offer, however, as there are also puzzle-solving elements throughout this title. One of the standout features of this game is its creature design. The creatures in this game are an odd amalgamation of organic and cybernetic.

This serves to make the enemies in the game visually striking. In contrast, the combat in the game can appear to be repetitive. This is in service of the puzzle-solving within the game. That isn't to say the FPS mechanics are poor. Simply that, they often take the backseat to more of the survival horror elements of the game. While the game was mainly praised for its art direction, the FPS mechanics on display here are more than serviceable and seek to enrich the game experience overall. So if you haven't picked it up, then Scorn is a fantastic choice as one of the best FPS games of 2022.
