Top 15 Third Person Shooters of the 8th Console Generation

#4. METAL GEAR SOLID 5: THE PHANTOM PAIN

Purely from a gameplay perspective, Metal Gear Solid 5 is easily the best game Hideo Kojima has ever made, and that rings true specifically with the game’s shooting mechanics as well. Even if you don’t play this as a stealth title, you’re still bound to have a ton of fun. It combines tight shooting with solid weapon variety and excellent AI to ensure that even the most hectic of firefights always feel incredibly grounded, and, as such, immensely enjoyable. Combined with the incredibly systemic world, the shooting mechanics in The Phantom Pain are easily the best this series has ever delivered.
