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?

Due Process. 5v5 tactical shooter with (mostly) procedurally generated maps.

Fallout games allow you to be as slow as you want with the right builds. It's never too fast tbh.

Ready or Not has gotten to be pretty solid.

Second. Performance should probably be better (I was struggling before I upgraded), but it is great fun. Very, very dark in subject matter.

Too bad the devs are copaganda pushing alt-righters. Was looking forward to a successor to SWAT but RoN ain't it

Metal Gear Solid series

If you can mind the obnoxious patriotic undertones, Hell Divers is actually my go to game rn. Partly hate it for the mentioned but overall, pretty decent game. I'm not a hard core gamer really (in general) but the game has grown on me and it's PvE so it's fun being able to play with others instead of being toxic.

Indiana Jones. Stealth and hand to hand are gonna get you to the end better than trying to one man army it

Look for single player stuff, I found the Bioshock games incredibly well paced.

Someone else mentioned Prey (2017), I'll echo that here because for my money it's the best those games ever get. Also the original System Shock holds up amazingly well.

I can highly recommend War Of Rights. Multiplayer only American civil war fps.

You form a long line in a field with 20 odd men facing the enemy line. It takes around 25 seconds to reload your gun, while the enemy is firing at you.

"Gentlemen, take aim, steady, steadyyy, steadyyyyyy, FIRE!"

The whole team gets penalised if you die out of line or duck for cover.

Are you explicitly looking for competitive multiplayer games? Single player shooters like Prey, or the BioShock games, might be able to fulfill what you're looking for. I like Helldivers 2, as well. It's not slow per se, but your fighting AI and not people so insane reflexes are far from important. It's coop but very worth your time.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 2.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

The Far Cry games pretty much always allow a sniper and/or stealth option. Some of the scripted mission sequences can be fast paced, but it's largely open world. If you're not familiar with them, stick to the games with numbers in the titles for starters. Probably not 6. Maybe not 2 this day and age. 3-6 all exist with a particular style in mind.

Unless you're anti ubisoft

Virtua cop

You have to reload "manually" 😁

if you wouldn't mind 3rd person stuff then I would recommend "conflict: " game series

Generation Zero. Player power builds slowly, especially in single player.
