I don’t feel comfortable using a mouse and I have no interest in working on my mouse skills. I play all of my games with either a controller or a keyboard, and I’m looking for 3rd-person shooters I can play with a controller.

I’m mainly interested in action games. I’m OK with a world with gated areas a la metroidvanias/soulslikes, but I’m not interested in full-on open world or narrative-driven games.

Examples of 3rd-person shooters I enjoyed playing with a controller: Gungrave, Vanquish, and Evil West.

Examples of 3rd-person shooters I don’t enjoy and have no interest in: Uncharted, The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, Dead Space, Control/Alan Wake, or GTA.

I mainly play on PC, Steam in particular, but I’ll boot up emulators if the game is worth it.

    Did you miss the screenshot of JOHN ROMERO, the man himself, saying that Wolf3D and Doom were made for mouse input?

      I did. I have no idea what screenshot you’re talking about.

      Anyway, even if he told something like that, the keyboard-only input was more convenient for Wolf3d and Doom 1-2.
