recommendations for a cheap single player first person shooter I can download on Xbox Series X, and jump right into shooting peeps non-sentient enemy constructs ASAP?
DOOM (2016) is almost always on sale these days, and it drops you straight into the action.
Probably my favorite FPS of all time it's just good fast paced fun
Halo master chief collection (don't know if it's cheap), but I think they have firefight mode which sounds exactly like shooting peeps asap
I also like old school single player games often to zone out playing.
Titanfall 2 was good mindless fun, it is like $6NZD on steam, no idea what your currency is.
I bought the Castle wolfenstein reboot games on steam recently in a bundle and that was great fun for the $17NZD.
Also the Halo master chief collection was approximately $25NZD at one point and that was great fun on a dollar per hour basis.
The mass effect games were like $10 at one point too, and the first couple of those are great.
Again, I don't know much about the xbox pricing on these, they might be still gouging on that platform.
Quake 3 Arena is quick fun and is available for free: https://archive.org/details/quake-3-arena
Splitgate my dude
You might have missed a word in the title. They're looking for single player.
If Borderlands 2 is available in that library, I can assure you it has really held up to the test of time.
One of my favorite games of all time in fact. I have played it so many times I have lost count. If there were something like this that I could play new, that would be amazing.
Titan Fall 2
Played it. Wish it had been 6 times longer.
Got Far Cry 5 basically for this, maybe Crysis too. I've seen Borderlands mentioned here and i agree
Robo quest, Doom 1 2 64, dark forces remaster, and bolt gun were all pretty fun and quick on the shooter action
