I got an OLED 1 TB for my birthday yesterday and I’m looking for titles I can download to play when I’m off shore on a ship. I like FPS games but am always looking for the next adventure. What do yij suggest?
Lemmy communities you should keep an eye out for is: !gamedeals@lemmy.world for freebees and discounts. The other social media site that shall not be named also has a similar community with the same name.
As for new games when in doubt, Humble Bundle. They currently have some fantastic game deals right now if you are a fan of Capcom or Indi games. Outside of the Destiny 2 bundle I’ve heard nothing but positives from them.
Now as you say you are new to PC gaming I’m going to recommend you some niche/personal fav games of mine that either aren’t on consoles, or aren’t know well on consoles.
-
Antichamber, a first person “shooter”, that’s more of a mind bending puzzle game. The most atmospheric game I’ve played and a wonderful time.
-
Most thing from Valve, Half Life 1 & 2, Left for Dead, etc. All good fund and often onsale for dirt cheap. Get it if you find it for the right price. The YouTube series “Freeman’s Mind” is worth a watch if you want a see what the gameplay is like.
-
Portal 1 & 2, Valve FPS and puzzle games. Well known, and obviously recommended. Play in order is advised.
-
Slime Rancher if you are looking for a framing game in the first person
-
Star Wars Dark Forces, Star Wars in the Doom Engine. Not the biggest fan but it’s the first in a series of fun adventure games.
-
Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces II, This is an interesting genera of game. It is a FPS, but it’s in the mission structure of the old doom games. With a narrative of Star Wars. There are light sabers, and you can cut off your enemies limbs. Fun time
-
Star Wars Jedi Knight II/Jedi Academe, aka Dark Forces III. Same as the first game but you get your saber quicker. Had a blast with academe.
-
Super Hot: Super. Hot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot.
-
Team Fortress 2. Team based hero FPS before Overwatch. I’ve heard the quality went down recently but I haven’t checked.
-
Wolfenstein The New Order. Just a very angry dude killing nazi’s what’s there not to love.

Prey (2017) is an awesome FPS/immersive Sim. As in, it plays like a shooter but how you take each engagement is highly up to you. You can go in guns blazing, there’s usually some way to use the environment, go out of your way to get robot helpers, mind control one of the enemy, sneak past entirely. It’s one of my all time faves because it has depth but draws you in like an fps. I love stuff like obra din but don’t always have the energy to get lost in them.
And the plot is awesome. Not a ton of replay ability (imo, but I’m difficult there) but definitely a meaty amount of time. highly recommend headphones.
Haven’t run it on the deck but a quick search shows people are really happy with it’s performance there.
