Best PS5 Shooter Games 2026

Deathloop is the shooter I'd recommend to someone bored of every other game on this list, because the time-loop structure turns each mission into a puzzle you solve with guns and improvisation rather than a straight run-and-gun. I liked how the powers and weapons combine into little contraptions, freezing an enemy mid-air and setting off a chain of chaos I didn't fully plan. It's stylish in a way few shooters bother to be anymore. It missed the top 10 because the immersive-sim structure asks for patience a straightforward shooter doesn't, and the online invasion feature is easy to just turn off if you'd rather play it solo start to finish.
