Looking for a good, not too difficult, single player FPS that gets right into the action without too many story requirements, and is a lot of fun, and is not Borderlands (because I have played them all). EDIT: Forgot to mention I am looking for PS4, XBOX One X, or XBOX Series X. Thanks!

The 2016 DOOM fits these requirements. DOOM Eternal is pretty decent, but honestly I feel like it's actually a step down from the 2016 release. They added a lot of new mechanics that you have to juggle, and a bunch of plot (euch, gross), and is overall not as good of an experience. 2016 also has a better soundtrack, IMO. BFG Division is one of the best songs ever produced, even outside of game soundtracks.

If you want something a little more unique, I could also recommend SUPERHOT.

Basically, if an FPS puts its name in all caps, it's probably gonna be a banger. Caps-locking the title of your game requires a certain amount of confidence, I feel.
