Shooter is the most voluminous genre of video games. It is shooting games that computer entertainment developers release the most, and many of you probably started your journey as a gamer with some Quake 4 or Wolfenstein.

The secret of popularity

Shooters or shooters were originally corridor games, but somewhere after 2008, most games began to acquire an open (Far Cry) or relatively open world. The gameplay consists in passing the level from the point of appearance to a given point with the completion of one or more tasks in the process.

On the way, the player must eliminate opponents by shooting, blowing them up or killing them in other ways. In some games this is done in one single way, in others there are several methods of solving the problem. To destroy enemies, you need to collect weapons, supplies, first aid kits, restore armor and pick up various bonuses. In many games, the HP level is restored automatically.

To achieve the goal, sometimes you have to solve simple puzzles:

• open doors;
• find keys;
• destroy key characters to open a passage or use another trigger.

Straights are an attribute of any shooter – a way of moving from side to side with constant firing towards the enemy, which allows you to change positions, minimize damage and harm an enemy or eliminate him.

A look through the scope

In most games of the genre, a first-person FPS view is organized when a gamer looks at the virtual world through the eyes of an avatar. Less often, the camera is placed behind the back or at the shoulder – the so-called third-person view.

The first solution allows you to feel like a prototype behind the screen, although it reduces the viewing angles. Agree, it's much nicer to look at a detailed cannon and fire escaping from its muzzle than to stare at the back of some guy with a barrel.

Navigation bar

In most shooting games, auxiliary and information panels and tools are displayed on the screen:

• health indicator and protection level;
• sight in the form of a crosshair, dot, circle and other image;
• a mini-map for ease of orientation on the terrain, sometimes detected enemies are highlighted on it;
• ammunition – displays the remaining amount of supplies in digital or visual form.

Many games have a task log, a global map, and achievements.

Everyone can download any shooter from the proposed ones and install it on any weak PC, choose, download, shoot.
