Perhaps it’s the immersion of looking at the world of the game through the eyes of the main character – with only their hands and whatever weapon those hands are brandishing visible to the player – that makes FPS games so adored by gamers. While platformers, RPGs and many other genres certainly hold plenty of space on retail shelves (and within gamers’ hearts), it’s FPS games that transcend gaming to become bona fide cultural sensations – such as Halo, DOOM, Call of Duty and more. And with good reason! These games have long served as the standard-bearers for Western gaming – from the progenitors of the genre such as Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM and Quake all the way to modern battle royale iterations such as Overwatch, Apex Legends and Valorant.
