SUMMARY
- FPS games like Doom Eternal are unique in combining shooting, action and parkour to create an exhilarating experience.
- Severed Steel and Ghostrunner offer fast combat and smooth action, making them stand out in the FPS genre.
- Titanfall 2 shines because of its unique combination of shooting and parkour mechanics, perfect for competitive players.
Action is a central part of the game and makes up the majority of the player's experience while playing the game. Having a good attitude is very important to make a good impression on the player, and having parkour is even better, because it adds purpose and excitement to a boring mechanic (ie, getting away from the point one to another).

When it comes to fast-paced FPS games, there is no title quite as popular as disaster franchise. From the classic game released in 1993 to the recent remake of the title in the format Doom (2016) SY Doom Eternal (2020), there are plenty of slaying demons in the franchise to keep fans busy for a while.
Doom Eternalin particular, it is a playground for parkour fans, featuring many interesting action options for players. I create a dynamic movement environment that is fun for many and fans of Dashes, grappling hooks and wall climbing. The game focuses on three things: shooting, action, and satisfying execution, and it does all three to perfection.

Cut Steel is an inspired title that learns from the best of the FPS platformer genre. The combination of fast-paced combat and smooth action is hard to find anywhere else, leaving players wanting more as soon as the story mode is over.
The game encourages players to master their movement mechanics and maneuvers, and implements a good slow-motion mechanic that gives way to highly skilled combos and complex moves. The streamlined look of the game is visually stunning, and the shooting is very rewarding.
6 Mirror's Edge
Pure action and no fluff

- November 11, 2008
A smaller shooter and more of a first person parkour simulator, Mirror's Edge is a type of game that defines the genre. Developed by the studio behind the war franchising, Mirror's Edge directing the focus of all players to a single mechanism: action.
There are some shooting scenes in the game, but the players are encouraged to ignore it and go to the game. The game is very punishing when it comes to parkour, requiring precision and good control from the player. However, once players understand the design of a level, everything starts to come together to create an unforgettable experience.

A Stealth 5 game that allows non-lethal racing
Shadow stabbing can be fun, but many stealth games force the player's hand to kill. Games like Dishonored and Clandestine allow players to choose.
The game doesn't put too much emphasis on action, but sneaking around a hostile Victorian town with special mobility skills does lead to some parkour. The ability to draw is very useful in the game, and it makes the action more interesting than the others.
4 Ultrakill
A quick mess

IF disaster has a little indie brother with all the violence, twice the action, and half the visual chaos, it will be Ultrakill. Released in 2020, Ultrakill is still in Early Access, but the in-game content is disappointing.
When Ultrakill claims to be a fast FPS, it means it running around. With a retro aesthetic and a focus on player skill rather than skill or powerful guns (although there are many fan favorites), the game is a treat for both casual and serious FPS players.

Top 10 first-person shooters of the 2000s
The FPS genre has many favorite franchises (Call of Duty, Battlefield, Far Cry) but some 2000s shooters are less appreciated.
The game is all about accurate strikes, planned moves, and intense attack sequences that leave players breathless from the adrenaline rush. It has a very decent story, a simple level-based design, and well-designed graphics that have a distinct cyberpunk feel. For fans of adventure travel, this is also a must play.
2 Titanfall 2
Parkour On Them Fools

Considered to be the best action game in the FPS genre, Titanfall 2 lives up to its reputation. Of all FPS games focused on parkour and action, it manages to combine the shooting aspect with the best traversal.
It is not always necessary to combine two good types, but for people who are looking for a good action gun with a good action, Titanfall 2 is the only one left. The fact that it even has a multiplayer mode that pits players against each other in a game makes it even more appealing to competitive players.

Neon White is the dream of card game lovers, parkour lovers, and comic book fans, combined into one unholy creation that manages to cross genre restrictions to appeal to a wide audience without losing its charm.
The game is, basically, a puzzle platformer. It encourages players to see their flow and progress through levels as quickly as possible while using as little of their resources as possible, especially by introducing a casual audience to the world of fast racing. The art style is charming, the gameplay is revolutionary, and the story is simple but effective.
