Top 4 Best FPS Games of Q4 2018

Best FPS Games of Q4 2018

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

Starting off our list of the best FPS games of Q4 2018, of course, we have the annual Call of Duty release. This year, Treyarch did things a little differently by completely removing the traditional single-player campaign we’ve all gotten so used to.

In its place, we’ve gotten three fully-fledged multiplayer modes.

Traditional multiplayer is back of course, and so is the Zombies mode, which comes with a few different scenarios for you to try your hand at.

In addition to that, Black Ops 4 also introduced Blackout, a brand new battle royale mode. It also happens to be the best and most polished military sim battle royale we’ve seen so far.

Above all else, Black Ops 4 still features incredibly fun and tight gunplay, as we’ve come to expect from the Call of Duty series.

While we were a little apprehensive about the lack of a single-player mode at first, we ended up embracing the game’s full multiplayer focus and feel that Black Ops 4 is all the better for it.

Without a doubt, Black Ops 4 has secured its spot as one of the best FPS games of Q4 2018.

Overkill’s The Walking Dead

So, Overkill’s The Walking Dead is a clear victim of missed potential and lack of polish. The game’s levels are fun and intricate, the puzzle-solving can be challenging and fun to work out with friends.

However, there are several other weird systems and mechanics that hold it back from being the fun, Walking Dead-worthy co-op shooter we know it can be.

But at its core, while it might not blow your socks off as the next Left 4 Dead, it’s still an extremely fun time if you’re just looking for a decent co-op shooter to play while kicking back with a few friends.

With the game’s interesting sound/alarm system, players have to work together to make sure they’re not attracting too much attention, while also watching each other’s backs to avoid ugly situations.

Whether the game is worth it at full price is a decision we’ll leave up to you, but we won’t deny that we had a considerable amount of fun punching zombies to death in this one.

Battlefield V

Alongside Call of Duty, Battlefield is the other FPS series that sees an annual release.

This year, Battlefield V took us to World War II, where we got yet another episodic-style campaign mode that features stories from different squads and regions in the war. While not quite as riveting as the ones we got in Battlefield 1, it’s still worth a one-time playthrough.

In addition to that, all of the regular multiplayer modes are back as well, along with Grand Operations, which we were definitely happy to see make a return.

It builds upon last year’s Operations mode, where players compete against one another from either side of the war, completing objectives to reenact a campaign from WWII itself.

Battlefield V is also set to get a battle royale mode, but unfortunately, it’s not available just yet. The shooting mechanics in Battlefield V are as weighty and punchy as ever, making it a fine FPS game to pick up if Black Ops 4’s setting doesn’t interest you.

DUSK

DUSK showed promise even before its full release, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Inspired by retro first-person shooters from the 90s, DUSK is every bit as ‘hardcore’ and abrasive as you’d expect it to be, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Presently, the game features three episodes, all with well-designed levels and arsenals to shake up the gameplay variety. There are guns, sickles, swords, and all manner of firearms and melee tools that you can get acquainted with.

The shooting feels good, and the blood-pumping metal soundtrack just makes this game feel like a complete package.

DUSK received great critical reception, and is set to get even more features including new game plus and co-op.
