2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

FPS games in general are almost extinct

Uh, huh? You living under a rock? FPS games are very much alive, unless you meant to specify.

I mean the kinds that aren't extraction shooters or battle royales or some other kind of "live service" that pretends it's a service so it doesn't have to admit that it's a bad product. Something more substantial than the crop of "boomer shooters", with co-op and/or friendly deathmatch; something with objective design and a story that's interesting to follow. Basically what we used to get between the late 90s up through the middle of the last decade; what Halo used to be before they decided it had to be both open world and a live service.
