I like Generation Zero. Its a bit more unconventional as a "story shooter" since the story isnt a linear campaign like most other shooters. The game receives constant updates and sometimes that includes story missions. They werent always in the game but were added later.

Its basically a game like DayZ or maybe Tarkov but without PvP and with keep inventory turned on. Takes place in a fictional 80s Sweden that was overrun by military robots. Its built in the game engine of a hunting game (phenomenal graphics for vegetation), and that means even on lower difficulty the enemies are a challenge (enemies also have heat vision and xray vision). Its a great game if you just want to jump in, play around a little (with or without friends) then dip out.

No One Lives Forever and its sequel are quite good, with an unforgettable 1960s spy aesthetic.

I actually quite liked the campaign of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. It gets a lot of hate online but I thought it was pretty fun.

There is of course Marathon by Bungie. No, not the new imposter that will soil the great name of Marathon. I mean the original Doom-like. It's open source now and has some great ports and improvements made to it over the years.

SWAT4, Ready or Not, and Zero Hour are all playable alone and really fill that very slow, tactical shooter gameplay nicely.

Medal of Honor: Frontline is one of the best WWII shooter campaigns IMO. Even to this day it still is quite good.

System Shock 1, though I am biased towards it. I was one of the Human Corpse tier backers from the Kickstarter campaign. Boy was that a mess. Still haven't receieved any of the physical goods I was supposed to, but I guess we will see how long NightDive will take to deliver on that. I mean, the game was already like 4 years late.
