Request for FPS recommendations. (lemm.ee)

Hello. The past few months Ive been almost exclusively playing fantasy and survival games, so much so that I need a break from them.

Looking for single player FPS recommendations with controller support from the last decade. A good story is preferred.

Games Ive played:

Warframe (dont ask. The lore is okay-ish. I stayed for friends).
Titanfall 2. (PEAK)
Apex Legends (Briefly. The sweatiness and timed lore turned me off).
Doom 2016 (Dropped this, sadly. Gunplay and parkour was AWESOME, but the whole devil worship thing really turned me off. Edit: The devil Worshippers themselves turned me off. You do not worship devils ingame. More details in comments).
Dying Light 1. (Okay Story. Awesome fighting. Never played 2 because of the whole controversy with the ~~story director~~. EDIT: Story writer, not director)
The Metro Series. 1, 2 and Exodus. (Slightly weak lore. Still alot of fun).

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: regarding Dying Light:

Halo
Wolfenstein: New Order.

Halo

This should be the top answer for anyone asking for FPS recommendations.

Also there's no need to justify playing Warframe. It's fun as hell. Also, you do realize in DOOM that you're killing the demons and devil worshippers, right? And what controversy with the director for DL2? I played both Dying Light games but the first one is way better anyway.

Specifically, the Halo Master Chief Collection is one of the best values in gaming at full price before any sales you might find, and it released on steam in 2015 so i'm counting it.

Maybe the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise? OG and call of pripyat might be kind of old and thus have too much jank, but 2 just came out, and it promised to bring a similar vibe, and I LOVED that vibe.

There's also some boomer shooters that combine the Doom FPS style with a bit of roguelike, like : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229490/ULTRAKILL/

Wolfenstein: The New Order

I played a LOT of singleplayer FPS and this is one of the best in the genre. Great gunplay, fantastic soundtrack, good story.

I’ll second this one, everything about it is top of the line to me. I was glued to this game all the way through, which is rare for me to do with an FPS. I even teared up a little at the end lol.
