9 First-Person Shooters Only Hardcore Gamers Can Play

Of course, Escape From Tarkov isn't the only FPS game that prefers something a little more visceral than your average celebrity-stuffed cover shooter. The ARMA series is specifically designed with realism in mind, to the point where some have categorised the games as military simulators instead of simply first-person shooters.

ARMA 3 showcases all of the series' best elements in spectacular fashion. With its immersive atmosphere, intricate combat and open world locations covering areas of up to 100 square miles, the scale of this game is what may first seem a little daunting to you.

And then there's the gameplay itself, which is extremely detailed and demands a lot of time and patience from you to fully get the hang of. Couple this with one-hit kills and minimal margin for error, and many of you will probably find your patience being tested way beyond its limits.

While the mouse-and-keyboard setup may put some people off, ARMA 3 makes full use of the tools you're given to work with, and though mastering it takes time, the payoff at the end is more than worth it for the hardcore FPS gamer.
