Mark your calendars as Twinfinite’s awards season is officially here, folks! That’s right, throughout January, we’ll be taking a look back at our favorite games from 2021. To kick things off, we’ve put together a list of the best shooters 2021 had to offer.
From first-person zombie-shootin’ action to third-person cosmic horror, we’ve seen a whole smorgasbord of titles that scratch the ol’ shoot-’em-up itch. So, without further ado, here are the best shooters of 2021 as voted by Twinfinite’s staff and editors. Let’s get into it!
Best Shooters of 2021
Honorable Mention: Far Cry 6
Features Editor, Andrew McMahon: The Far Cry series has always been home to some pretty chaotic fun, as its over-the-top action, story, and gameplay can only exist in a video game. Far Cry 6 dishes out all of the chaos that fans know and love while also adding in a few fun new toys to freshen things up.
Combat is as fluid as ever, as protagonist Dani Rojas is able to assassinate and gun down their enemies using brutal combos and tactics. Shooting is also as satisfying as ever, as Far Cry 6 once again features a boatload of guns to unlock and equip.
One big change in this department with Far Cry 6 is that players can unlock and craft new components for their guns that serve to replace skills, making for a more diverse method of choosing what to put in the arsenal.
Supremo weapons are easily the best new toy in the game, as it offers insane super abilities like a rocket launcher that fires off your back and deals extreme damage.
When it comes down to it, there are few shooters released in 2021 that pretty much any video game fan can pick up and enjoy for some mindless fun more than Far Cry 6.
