Echo Point Nova is the newest game on this list and the one I went in with the least context on. Within ten minutes of the first session I understood why PC Gamer called it one of the standout FPS games of its year. The movement is relentless in the best way: grappling, boosting, and sliding through open zones while keeping weapons on target is the entire skill expression, and the game makes you feel competent at it surprisingly fast. It sits at eight partly because the accessibility score is honest, this is not the game for players who want to ease into handheld shooters, but if movement FPS is your thing it delivers more energy than anything else on this list.
