If you are looking for an extra shot of adrenaline with your shooter games, then going for a third-person perspective fast-paced game could turn out to be a great choice. This way, you get to witness the story and play the game from a wider angle, which definitely comes in handy in action-packed games. Such a format can put your gaming skills to the test because of the increased difficulty levels you may encounter in them. As a result, the game becomes tough to master, which in turn makes every proud gamer want to play it. If you are up for such a challenge, then here are four games that you should definitely try on your Xbox One.
Quantum Break
Quantum Break is one of the best third-person shooters in the sci-fi genre. The game deals with the concept of the ‘End of Time’ in a unique manner. After a failed time-machine experiment, Jack Royce is gifted with time manipulation powers. He now has to tackle his old friend, Paul Serene, who wants to monopolise control over time and maybe even end it. You face heavily armoured juggernauts, monarch security guards and several other foes to stop you on your quest to find Serene. This third-person shooter game is not just about shooting, but also about the nuanced character traits of the leads, which draws you into the narrative. Quantum Break is the perfect mix of fast-paced action sequences and great storytelling.
Control
Control is one of the best sci-fi investigative thriller games in the market with a female protagonist. The premise of the story revolves around the FBC, a secret organisation of operatives in the US. The new Director, Jesse Faden, has to fight off the immediate threat of an entity called the Hiss. What makes it a big threat is the fact that it is capable of changing reality. With time and reality changing periodically, you’ll be in for a surprise every now and then! Throughout the game, Jesse has to use her supernatural abilities like telekinesis and levitation (and others) to fight off her enemies. The third-person perspective of the game gives you an opportunity to plan your strategies in a better way. The gripping narrative makes it an incredibly fast-paced game where you can hardly afford to make the wrong decision.
Gears 5
This third-person shooter game was developed by The Coalition for Microsoft Windows and Xbox One in particular. Gears 5 is available in various modes like single-player, multiplayer mode (up to 3 players) with a split-screen and an online cooperative mode as well. It is an epic war game with the protagonist Kait Diaz, an outsider of the Locust decent, trying to find the origins of not just her family but also of the Locust clan itself. With the incredibly fast-paced action scenes, you have to be wary of danger throughout to stay alive. The stakes are even higher in the co-op mode where you face an even greater threat with each round. Build your team, upgrade your weapons and improve your skills in an attempt to stay ahead of the curve.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Lara Croft is definitely one of the most iconic female characters in the world of gaming. The story of the Shadow of the Tomb Raider picks up from where the Rise of the Tomb Raider ended. This time, Lara has to travel to the fabled city of Paititi, lying east of the Andes, to stop a Mayan apocalypse. On her way there, she has to fight off troops of the paramilitary organisation – Trinity. The narrative has been inspired by Mayan and Aztec mythologies, making it a greatly adventurous ride for you. The third-person perspective of the game lets you analyse what every character goes through with a 360-degree viewing angle. Incorporating the feedback and requests of the fans, the creators have added swimming and grappling to the repository of actions that the character performs. Additionally, they have increased the difficulty levels as well, making gameplay much more interesting for gamers.
