10 Amazing FPS Games With Better Stories Than Most RPGs


Most RPGs are epic, story-driven, third-person adventures that captivate the player and make them care about the characters they play. Some RPGs have better stories than others, and others have stories so bad they’re not even worth playing. When players think of a first-person shooter, a good story isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind.




Any type of game that tells a great story can really stand out from the rest and become something special. However, some FPS games put more emphasis on telling a unique and creative story that fans will remember. Games that use the first-person perspective to tell a story are able to immerse the player and make them feel like they are part of the story more than a typical third-person RPG.
