Game news The 7 best action / shooter games of 2021 for the PC
Vast category if it is, the action / shooter section often contains a lot of nuggets that allow these genres to get out of their shackles and offer experiences that are out of the ordinary. Here is a selection of games that fall into this very large category and which were released in 2021.
Deathloop is a new production from the dads of Dishnored, Arkane. And as usual with the French, it’s a very original concept that has been developed here. With its principle of time loop which allows you to learn every day a little more the architecture of the places or the position of the enemies, the title proposes to you to kill 7 targets in one day only. With this new information, you can opt for a discreet approach or on the contrary go for it by exploiting your arsenal of weapons and powers for very nervous fights.

The sniper first-person shooter industry is very uncompetitive, and CI Games is the industry juggernaut. It must be said that the studio knows its subject perfectly and came back to us with Sniper Ghost Warrior Contract, which takes the basics of previous episodes by adding long-distance shots. You can therefore attack targets located a kilometer away from you, which will require a lot of patience and skill to achieve your goals.

It must be recognized that this new iteration of the adventures of Master Chief was expected and seems to come from afar. With a fairly complicated development, which led to a one-year postponement that left fans a little wary, 343 Industries took the time to refine its FPS which today adopts a more open formula while maintaining the fundamentals of the series. A very good opportunity for newcomers and veterans alike to immerse themselves in this saga which has blown its 20th anniversary.
The new Far Cry cuvée transports us this year to the fictional island of Yarta. Always set in an exotic environment, Far Cry 6 lets you embody a charismatic character against an antagonist who is no less, at the heart of a revolution that rumbles. Very pretty and always fun to learn, Far Cry 6 is also very pretty and benefits from a co-op mode allowing you to do the entire campaign for two.

If you are looking for an ultra brutal, visceral and frenzied FPS, no doubt you have installed on your machine the most recent Dooms. Doom Eternal was a great success and this year welcomed a new round of additional content with Tthe Ancient Gods. Suffice to say that the formula did not disappoint. Although a little short, the DLC is still as beautiful, still as furious and benefits from fairly qualitative bestiary additions. Enough to extend an already exhilarating original experience.
The Persona saga has millions of fans around the world, so as soon as an episode uses this very popular name, the expectations are high. Giving up its RPG dimension and opting for the mouso, Persona 5 Striker remains pure and hard Persona, which knows how to be funny and moving at the same time, and offers combat as intense as it is profound. If you can ignore the slightly dated graphics, you should easily appreciate the foray into this atypical universe.
Difficult to explain, Lemnis Gate can be discovered and appreciated fully if you take the trouble to try it. Basing its gameplay on a system of very well implemented time loops and a turn-based mode which favors tactical choices, Lemnis Gate offers a very original proposal and a really successful concept. A little UFO in the shooter world that is worth trying and which is also available in Game Pass.
