Hey everyone! I’ve been a console gamer forever but just jumped into PC gaming last week. I’m looking for a shooter that really feels satisfying to play — kind of like Dead Space Remake, which I absolutely loved. Specifically, I enjoy games where you have to be precise with your shots and you get cool effects like dismembering enemies rather than just spamming bullets wildly. Any suggestions for shooters with that satisfying, tactile feel? Thanks in advance!

You might want to check out Trepang2. It’s a newer FPS that kinda carries the spirit of FEAR, with precise shooting and some satisfying enemy gore. It even has a demo if you want to try it before committing!
If you’re into classic shooters, Doom (2016) or Doom Eternal are fantastic choices. They have fast-paced, satisfying combat with lots of enemy dismemberment. Also, since you liked Dead Space, you might enjoy Titanfall 1 or 2 for their fluid gunplay and smart shooting mechanics. Half-Life (especially Half-Life 2) is a gold standard for shooters too, with precise gameplay and a great story.
Great suggestions! I’ve never played Doom before, so I’ll keep an eye out for it. I played Titanfall on consoles and loved it, so revisiting it on PC sounds fun. Half-Life 2 sounds perfect as well, thanks!
If you’re open to multiplayer co-op, Darktide is pretty satisfying to play with friends as you blast through hordes. It’s not a solo game though, so keep that in mind. Also, for a bit different vibe but still satisfying shooting, Cyberpunk 2077 has cool dismemberment mechanics and stylish combat especially with slow-time pistol kills.
I didn’t know about Darktide, thanks! I might try coop games later but for now, just solo is preferred. And yeah, I played Cyberpunk on Series X and really liked it. Great point!
Killing Floor 2 is a solid pick if you want brutal gunplay and that satisfying feeling of watching enemies fall apart piece by piece. It comes with a cool metal soundtrack to hype you up too. Not a story-heavy game, but if you want pure shooting satisfaction, it’s great.
Sounds like it matches exactly what I want. I’ll check out Killing Floor 2 for sure. Thanks!
You might want to explore some classics like the original Resident Evil series – especially the remakes – since they inspired some of Dead Space’s gameplay style. Also, Control is amazing with top-tier shooting and cool powers, and Prey offers that survival shooter vibe with some sweet upgrades. And if you want precise sniping with satisfying mechanics, Sniper Elite might be your thing.
Those sound interesting, especially since you connected them with Dead Space. I’ll look into Resident Evil remakes and Control. Thanks for the detailed recommendations!
Thanks for the tip! I watched the trailer and it really looks like exactly what I’m looking for. I’ll definitely try the demo!
