Single player FPS auggestions - Lemmy

Can you give auggeations to try for preferably indie single player campaign FPS that does hace creatures or aliens, or takes place in space?l. I’m not into the Doom games because of the martian creatures, or Halo games due to seeimnfly a space theme. I tried Half Life 2 since people demand a Half Life 3, and after 45 minutes I lost all interest in Half Life. Is there an indie version of Medal Of Honor? I do not play online multiplayer at all, and no third person games of any kind.

Metro series (very good, contains creaures/mutants but also a lot of enemies are human)
STALKER series (very good, contains creaures/mutants but also a lot of enemies are human), some mods recommended because the base games are a bit “unfinished” for lack of a better word, but the modding scene is great and always kind of saves the games
Deus Ex series (I’ve played 1, Human Revolution + Mankind Divided, all very good)
Wolfenstein series (the newer titles are very good in general, except Youngblood)
Dishonored series (very good)
Sniper Elite series (I’ve played 2-4, they were very decent)
Far Cry series (I’ve played 1, 3-5 + New Dawn, they were very decent)
Deathloop (interesting conceptually but also not amazing)
F.EA.R. series (great horror/scifi themed FPS)
DUSK, Ion Fury, … (and in general lots of other boomer shooters, lots of them are great, these are just 2 examples which I fondly remember. Lots of high quality indie games in this category)
Cyberpunk 2077 (as an FPS-RPG hybrid, very good since version 2.x, especially with Phantom Liberty)
RAGE 1+2 (don’t remember much from 1 anymore, but I finished it so it was at least okay. 2 was short and unimpressive but still works as well, it’s nothing impressive but if you just want a sci-fi singleplayer shooter they’re alright I guess, and they’re probably very cheap these days)
The Division 1/2 also work decently in single-player, although some late-endgame stuff like Raids requires multiplayer. Might not count as FPS since it’s 3rd person by default, but it plays very close to FPS and IIRC you can change camera view to 1st person and when you aim from cover (which is most of the time) it feels like FPS regardless. I played both for a bit and it was better than expected but it’s also bland and gets boring after a while. Still a somewhat decent “realism”-based shooter
Theoretically Call of Duty but I’m still not going to recommend them because of unethical developer, low value in general, inflated prices in general, short lengths in general, and so on
