Top pick01A blocky first-person shooter where your class decides both weapon and movement. Sliding, hopping and wall-jumping turn ordinary maps into obstacle courses, and a server browser full of community-made maps keeps evenings varied. Easy to load, light on hardware, and deep enough that six months in you will still be finding faster routes.
Easiest start02Three-minute matches in a small arena with up to seven rivals, where every crate hands you a weapon. Fire a rocket, hose down a rival with a machine gun or leave a mine in a narrow lane. Scores reset every match, so the newcomer and the regular start level, and nobody needs to learn a racing line.
Deepest builds03A top-down space shooter that loads straight into a match without an account. Mine asteroids for gems, upgrade your ship's stats and graduate up a branching tree of craft, then decide whether to fight or keep building. Survival is every pilot for themselves; team play adds factions, stations and shared defence.
Best for two04Tiny tanks, tight mazes and bullets that bounce off every wall. Share one keyboard with friends or play online against strangers, grabbing power-ups such as a Gatling gun or a homing missile as they appear. Simple to learn, endlessly tricky to master, and the funniest game on our list when someone shoots themselves.
Silliest shooter05A first-person shooter starring armed eggs, with a gun line-up full of puns: the EggK-47, the Scrambler shotgun, the Crackshot sniper. Underneath the jokes sits tidy, readable combat across team, free-for-all and objective modes, making it the friendliest way to learn first-person aim before tackling tougher shooters.
Biggest battles06An open-world shooter where you can fight on foot or climb into a tank, APC or helicopter on the same map. Objective modes such as Missile Launch and Package Delivery sit alongside team deathmatch and a battle royale with a free-fall drop. The most ambitious game here, and the most demanding of your hardware.
