Good 2000-2017 linear, simple first person shooters?

Played games like Metro Redux 2033 and Last Light, both Wallenstein: New Order and Old Blood, and am searching for more simple, but fun linear first person shooters.

There are quite a few worthy of mention, but some may be hard to find nowadays, because they don't appear on digital distributors such as Steam. Some are available on GOG.com who do more to ensure compatibility with a modern OS. Hunting down disc versions is hit and miss, and sometimes they won't install on a modern OS without workarounds. Nevertheless, my personal picks would include:

1998 (just because)

Unreal by Epic Games (1998)
Half-Life by Valve Software (1998)

2000

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force by Raven Software
Soldier of Fortune by Raven Software
No One Lives Forever by Monolith Entertainment

2001

Aliens vs Predator 2 by Monolith Entertainment
Clive Barker's Undying
Return to Castle Wolfenstein by Grey Matter Interactive
Red Faction by Volition

2002

Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix by Raven Software
No One Lives Forever 2 by Monolith Entertainment

2003

Unreal 2: The Awakening by Legend Entertainment
Star Trek: Elite Force II by Ritual Entertainment
Tron 2.0 by Monolith Entertainment
XIII by Ubisoft

2004

Half-Life 2 by Valve Software
Doom 3 by id Software
Tribes: Vengeance by Irrational Games

2005

F.E.A.R. by Monolith Productions

2006

Prey by Humanhead Studios

2009

Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena by Starbreeze Studios
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin by Monolith Productions
Wolfenstein by Raven Software (decent enough)

2010

Singularity by Raven Software

I'll leave it at that. I did not include tactical shooters in this list, which may not appeal, or things like the original Far Cry and Crysis, because they are more open and less linear. Anyway, you should be able to find something in the list to keep you entertained. ;)

It doesn't get any more linear than Bulletstorm. Hard Reset is also pretty linear as well.

Titanfall 2 Campaign is amazing

Check out Timeshift and Project: Snowblind. They're really linear but they both gave pretty unique mechanics.

Man, these games bring back some good memories.

@Yams1980: Snowblind is kinda like a spiritual successor to Deus Ex since it was created by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Interactive.

I would also recommend OP to try the Far Cry series. Just avoid 3 and above and play 1 and 2 and also Black Hawk Down.

If you like Snowblind, you might want to consider Syndicate. While Syndicate wasn't amazing it was pretty decent game that's become obscured by the march of time (can be bought on Origin). It's an FPS with a sci-fi Deus Ex/Blade Runner-type setting with some Quantum Break-style slow-mo powers. It came out in 2012 so the production values are quite a bit better than Snowblind.

If it has one significant failing it's that its setting of intra-corporate espionage and human enhancement has been done to death in other games/movies/books, and with much more nuance and thought-provoking takes. But the gameplay is solid enough.

I found the Bioshock games to be pretty fun as well.

@jun_aka_pekto: Good thing you didn't put Bioshock 2

@Articuno76: That game is pretty underrated too bad it wasn't really well received since it was too linear.

What's wrong with Bioshock 2? I'm planning to buy it one of these days (once GoG has it).
