The best shooter games like Destiny 2 are Warframe, Halo Infinite and The Division 2. Below are 9, each with the reason it is here — and, at the end, what filtering to shooter costs you.
Filtering to shooter means you want the guns to be the answer. It is the right filter when what you liked was the feedback — the sound, the recoil, the way enemies react.
What you get: Moment-to-moment feel, and the shortest distance between picking a game up and enjoying it.
What made Destiny 2 worth playing in the first place is covered on the full list. This page is the shooter part of that answer, and only the shooter part.
Free, endlessly deep, and the traversal is unmatched — but hard to get into.
By Destiny's original studio's lineage, and free to play in multiplayer.
Cover shooting as the core loop, with loot on top.
Co-op against overwhelming numbers, and much easier to pick up.
Third-person co-op shooting with real difficulty and no live-service tail.
If the loot rather than the raids is the draw.
Four-player co-op with the best community in the genre.
Housemarque's alien weapons are the closest single-player equivalent.
The best campaign in a modern shooter, if you want the gunfeel alone.
Variety. Shooters commit hard to one loop, and the ones that try to be something else usually do the something else badly.
The full list is on games like Destiny 2 — 9 picks, no genre filter.
Warframe. Free, endlessly deep, and the traversal is unmatched — but hard to get into.
No. Destiny 2 released on the PC & Modern Multi-Platform, but a recommendation is only useful if you can play it, so the picks above span platforms and eras. What they share is the genre and the reason.
How the guns sound and how enemies react to being hit. A shooter with mediocre levels and superb weapon feedback is more fun than the reverse, every time.
Each pick says. Several of the best shooters ever made are single-player campaigns, and a few of the co-op ones are genuinely worse with bots.
By hand. Each pick was written for the full Destiny 2 list first, on what the game actually does, and this page is the part of that list that is shooter — never a genre tag lookup, which is how "best racing games like Super Mario 64" used to be a page on this site.
