I'm assuming you're looking for emphasis on shooters, so I'm excluding games like Fallout, which are heavily RPG.

All the Metro games are fantastic. Not too long, interesting setting, and fun gameplay.

Far Cry is probably my favourite, specifically Far Cry 5 but really all except the first one (New Dawn is super RPGy and 6 is a fair bit, too). Some of its games get a bit more RPG heavy, but 5 and earlier are more heavily shooters in open world sandboxes. Despite that, some of them have really great character driven stories. The villains are always the highlight in this series.

You are correct aboutemphasis on shooters. I can't get into sci-fi and RPG for me feel like a way to fill time without actual new gameplay happening.

I really don't like walking around tying to find random items, in my opinion it's too much of nothing

I have the Metro games, I've played each for several hours but never finished any of them.

I'm interested in Far Cry 6 but I've also seen strong criticisms of the gameplay so I don't know if it's worth buying.
