# New FPS games worth trying

Source: https://roam.new/new-fps-games/

First-person shooters come in three kinds: arena, where you respawn fast; tactical, where one life and one bomb decide the round; and horde, where it is you against waves. Here are the ones worth trying now in each kind, plus Roam FPS games made for a phone.

## Tactical: one life per round

- **Counter-Strike 2 (Valve, 2023)**: Buy rounds, bomb sites and very little forgiveness. Free to play on PC.
- **Valorant (Riot Games)**: The same bomb rules plus hero abilities. Free to play on PC.
- **Roam: FUSE**: A tactical bomb-defusal FPS for a phone. Buy your gun, hold the site, defuse.

## Arena and big battles

- **Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (October 2026)**: The newest Call of Duty, with classic fast multiplayer, on PS5, Xbox Series, PC and Switch 2.
- **Battlefield 6 (2025)**: Large maps, vehicles and squads for when 5v5 feels small.
- **Krunker**: A fast web arena shooter with simple blocky maps.
- **Roam: CLUTCH**: A 1v1 arena duel. One rival, five rounds.

## Horde and solo

If you want shooting without other players, two famous ideas still lead. Call of Duty Zombies made round-based horde survival a mode people buy the game for. SUPERHOT (2016) made time freeze when you stop moving, which turns every room into a puzzle.

- **STILLSHOT**: A Roam time-freeze shooter in the SUPERHOT spirit: stand still and time stops with you.
- **Hangry Hour**: A retro first-person brawler. Raccoons stole your burger, so you get it back with a frying pan.
- **Dead Or Deader**: Two revolvers, one wanted outlaw, Wild West bounty runs.
- **Sector 03**: Sci-fi wave defense. Hold the line one wave at a time.
