What's a good slow paced shooter game? (reddthat.com)

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?

I'm surprised to not see the Sniper Elite games recommended here, if we're talking single player. They're definitely a bit formulaic by now, and story/dialogue is not worth paying attention to, but they're slow, methodical, and a lot of fun!

There's a bit of a Hitman vibe to the later ones, approaching objectives almost however you'd like, and they can absolutely get hectic if you find yourself in a compromising position.

I'd throw Sniper: Ghost Warrior in there too. (Different studio, similar generic title :P) They're a bit like the Elite games but in first-person, and set in modern day/near future.

The spinoff games Sniper: Ghost Warrior: Contracts 1 and 2 are a bit more hitman style as well. (I got more into the Contracts games personally, as the story from the main series was kinda wack.) They're shorter games overall but levels can get bloody difficult when your plans go inevitably wrong.

Oh I remember the original Sniper Ghost Warrior!! Fun game but I found it felt a little cack-handed, in my experience - altho it is plenty old now. What do the Contracts games feel like? I assume they're much more modern?

Oh yeah, the Contracts games have decent game feel. Definitely not jank. They've been on CryEngine since Ghost Warrior 2, so they are modern enough I guess.

Oooh, might have to give them a look then. Thanks for the recommendation! 👍
