Gaming across generations: first-person shooters

There are genres that changed the landscape of PC gaming forever. Among them, first-person shooters deserve a special place, giving birth to the entire game culture and entertaining gamers around the world to this day.

Doom – 1993

Where do we start? Saying that the FPS developed by John Romero and John Carmack is a cult game is like stating that the sun is warm. Although not the first of its kind, Doom changed the way people perceive games forever. Not only did this title give gamers a dark atmosphere filled with blood-soaked action (BFG anyone?). Doom’s deathmatch mode made multiplayer gaming a global phenomenon.

Prey – 2017

This hugely entertaining sci-fi game from Arkane Studios is a perfect example of a modern first-person shooter. Prey uses modern tools of storytelling and mixes them with dynamic action and more than just a few scares. Moreover, the game allows you to upgrade the skills of your character, giving gamers an RPG-like flavor during each playthrough.
