It's been a pretty great year for shooter fans, because whether you like fast-paced multiplayer action, third-person co-op mayhem, or solo adventures, 2024 has presented at least one reason to get excited. It's also why our list of the best shooters is very competitive and strong, a list that includes some contenders for game of the year, and a collection of others who undoubtedly missed out narrowly. . That being said, here are what we're dubbing the best shooter games of 2024.
5. XDefiant
When Ubisoft launched corrected. Since then, 2024 has been a tough year for the eternal Call of Duty, XDefiant did almost everything right. It offered tight and enjoyable action, well-paced and thrilling gameplay, engaging and fun maps, balanced and unique classes, and a simple but polished presentation. With XDefiant, Ubisoft had a project with immense potential, but has failed to do anything with it since.
4. Helldivers II
If we were writing this article in March, this game would definitely be at the top of our list. Arrowhead's co-op multiplayer shooter represents everything that makes the shooter genre so timeless and popular, as it combines the intense stress and action of pure cosmic combat with the type of absurdity and explosiveness that we expect a Starship Troopers type experience. Helldivers II has only slipped in the rankings because, since its arrival, some questionable design, balance, and community-centric changes have been made and introduced, but also because some really strong competitors have come forward too.
This is an announcement:
3. STALKER 2: The Heart of Chornobyl
Let's get something straight right away: STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a fantastic game. But, and this is a very big but, it has many bugs and performance demons. It's for this reason that GSC Game World's impressive project is sliding down the rankings, because beyond its uglier elements there is a truly complex and impressive first-person action title that stands up to some of the best games we've seen in all of 2024. We're willing to give it some leniency due to the situation the development team finds itself in, but what that leniency won't allow not beat projects technologically more solid.
This is an announcement:
2. Warhammer 40 000 : Space Marine II
What more can I say about this incredible game. If it were 2010, we might have considered it the best interactive entertainment of the year, but since we're 14 years later, we have to face the obvious: the linear, almost Xbox-like design 360 slows down Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II a bit. That's not to say that it isn't a pure, action-packed, effortless shooter, because this game has it all and more, making it one of the best shooting games of the year and also one of the best video games of 2024.
1. Call of Duty : Black Ops 6
It might surprise some to see Treyarch's title in the lead, but frankly, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the return to form the shooter series needed. Ever since 2019's Modern Warfare, Call of Duty has felt like it's on a downward spiral when looking at the annual installments, and it got to the point where we weren't convinced before launch that Black Ops 6 and its revolutionary Omnimovement and nostalgic design elements would be enough. But it was. Whether it was a pure Black Ops campaign that impressed, Multiplayer that proved more exciting than ever thanks to the return of Prestige systems and the pace and fluidity provided by Omnimovement, or a return While Zombies offered more traditional, tighter round-based action, there's not much this game didn't do right from a Call of Duty perspective.
